Is it easy to trust?

 The short answer is "NO!"


But you may wonder if that's true because you've met some gullible people in your life who trust everyone. Have you ever tried thinking from their perspective? Maybe they aren't gullible. Maybe they just trust in giving people a chance to be trusted. And why would they do that, you may think? That's because they believe in the magic of trusting and being trusted. 


Have you ever thought about why all of us crave being trusted? Why do we go the extra steps just to make our close ones feel protected so that they can share all their good and bad experiences and thoughts with us? The world will explode if people stop trusting each other. That's why we try to find people who we can fit in our inner circle and who can be trusted.


But what happens if that trust gets broken someday? That is always a possibility but we don't completely stop trusting everyone because of one bad incident. This is because of that ray of hope within us. The hope that the other person will make an effort to gain our trust again. What if they don't? Well, you keep moving on. Maybe a little more careful next time but you still put to trust others and to let others trust you. So, yes it isn't easy to trust but you have to take a leap in faith sometimes to keep on moving forward.

All kinds of romances

I have exams for my third module starting next week, so I thought, why not gear up, before I head up for all the "module end" parties this week, I should look into what the syllabus looks like. I got up and got my notebook and pens ready. I wanted things to be smooth, so I decided to find the coolest-looking pen in my stationery drawer. And there was a sudden realization that so far in my life, I've had the privilege to experience all kinds of romances possible, and that made me wonder if I don't romanticize my life enough (and the answer is that I don't). To walk you through these different categories, I've had a school romance where you look for each other in the corridors just to blush on their first appearance, a coaching romance where getting a ride home is the most romantic thing you can think of, a college romance where you wait for each other's schedules to match to go out on a coffee date, an office romance where you wait the whole day just to spe...

Women in their traditional gender roles

 Today, I suddenly got the urge to bake something I haven't baked before and I thought of baking an orange almond tea cake. As an update, it's in the oven while I write this blog. As soon as I placed that cake tin in the oven, a sense of satisfaction and peace dawned upon me and it made me appreciate my love for baking again. This made me wonder how some people misinterpret feminism as "women leaving traditional gender roles and adopting more male-dominated roles." The only issue with that is that these "feminists" start looking down upon the women who actually enjoy activities like cooking and crocheting and women who choose to be caregivers, nurses, and homemakers.  We, as a society, need to understand that feminism stands for equal opportunity in all areas. The choice, however, should always be dependent on each individual. If a girl chooses to be a chef, it should not end up raising the eyes of the "feminists" since it is her choice. Additional...

Mood swings (a poem)

I had this one in my drafts for the last 4 years. I think I was hoping to make it a little more extended one day, but life is too short to not publish your childhood poems (yes, 4 years back feels like childhood now). So, here goes... Sometimes I can be so grumpy. Instead of being happy. Mood swings at the worst. So, I may have an outburst. The reason could be my periods. Or a ton of stress. Give me a surprise. And I might apologize. I might get excited. And may even seem ecstatic. Okay, this kid was clearly going through mood swings, maybe because of a fight with her boyfriend, without realizing that mood swings are not that rare in her future.
