The Words with Wings

 Do you ever feel like no matter how much you try, things just keep on slipping away? Be it college studies, work deadlines, career planning, or even maintaining friendships, all of it kind of fades away on some days, and even though you feel it happening you don't have enough stamina to actually work towards it.  As it seems, this happens with all of us when we have a lot to do and many things to figure out. This might make you feel overwhelmed, anxious and blue but that is okay. Take it as a reminder to pause for a while and take a deep breath. I know you've got a lot of things to do but take some time out for yourself during this time. We are already doing enough, to survive this pandemic. Give yourself the credit for that. I know it's not easy because I know how it feels when you try to take some time off but there's a constant nagging of those numerous piled-up tasks, inside your head.  We are generous and want to be there for our friends whenever they need us but ...

 I can bet that half of you ignored the 's' after "Best friend" in the title. That's okay because when most of us think about "Best friends", we usually refer to just one person. But I believe that we can have many best friends, each with a different sense of excitement, humor, advice, and craziness. I'm going to describe what I'm saying here by talking about my best friends. The Long-Distance best friend: This is the one who I've known from school. She changed school and shifted to Sri Lanka, because of her dad's job in the tenth standard. She moved away and we hardly meet, probably once in two to three years, but our friendship has grown ever since. We share everything over a call and we know all of each other's friends and secret crushes. Our parents say that we are sisters from different mothers. So, in short, it's like an ideal yet virtual friendship. The school best friend who's always been there with you: We've know...

A break from everything is all that you need sometimes. Even though we spend all our day watching web series and eating (because that's all we've been doing during this quarantine period) but sometimes we need a break from that too! It's basically a monotonous lifestyle that makes us want to alter the pattern. Think about the time when you were like, "I don't seem to catch a break!" and try to relate to what comes ahead. All of us need some escape routes to get away from our routine and do something that soothes us. But what do we mean by an escape route? Is it necessary for an escape route to be some kind of creative activity? Is it even important to take a break? Let's try to answer these questions and many more one by one. So, an escape route is something which helps you to spend some time with yourself and maybe even helps you to regain self-confidence. It helps you to get away not only from your everyday life but also helps you relax mentally. Most of...

People often ask this question: "If given an option to choose between money and love, what would you choose ?" I'll like to put forward some points regarding this question and then I'd like to tell what my thoughts are in this context. First of all, I believe that this question should start with the word, "Imagine" because such choices can only exist in one's imagination. In real life, this choice is not given to you. You have to somehow find a balance between the two. Even a slight variation in this equation of two variables can lead to a disaster. Now, to answer that question, I'll like to dive deeper into it. Most people are of the view that in the end everyone has to choose love and that is the only thing that matters. But my opinions differ. I'm agreeing with how important love is. Yet, if offered a choice, I would like to opt for money. With that infinite sum of money, I would want to fulfill my dream of a world tour and not just any world ...
