A page from my life

I’ve always believed that you should re-read the same books and re-watch the same movies at two different stages in your life. Because you change, your beliefs shift, your empathy deepens and your boundaries get clearer. Something you once loved might suddenly make you cringe. Something you dismissed before might now hit you right in the gut. So this week, I rewatched two movies. Gehraiyaan The first was Gehraiyaan. I remember watching it during COVID and absolutely hating everything about it. Maybe because, back then, I was someone who could only see the world in black and white. I may not love Gehraiyaan, but I understand it now. The messiness, the emotional baggage, the intergenerational trauma, the relationships that defy labels, they make sense in a way they didn’t before. But if you ask me now, five years later? I’d say there are greys everywhere. My perspective has definitely changed.But that’s a story for another time. The movie I really want to talk about is Thappad We watched...

Alert: If you're a male who with a sense of entitlement, or belittle the things done by the women in your lives then kindly leave...  You're not going to like what you're going to read ahead...  You're a girl, you aren't supposed to cuss. Ohh don't speak too loudly, what will people say. Watch what you wear...  Be home on time... My favorite cliche - "Nobody will marry you if your rotis are not round." Everyone has heard this at some point or other in thier lives, if they're a girl and especially if you're from India... All the women at some point have thought how different life would've been if you were a guy. A lot of people have a problem with the 'F' word not the four letter F word but the eight letter F word!! Yes  I am talking about "FEMINISM" . Why do people hate this word? Why do we spend on son's education and daughter's marriage? Why do we judge a woman if she cusses or smokes or drinks? Worse if she is s...

'Mera pehla pyaar adhura reh gaya iffat bi mera pehla pyaar adhura reh gaya', this dialogue has been stuck in my head since I watched Kuch Kuch Hota Hai for the first time when I was 9. Every time i have watched this scene I have cried along-with Anjali. I'm sure you did too. No doubt it is one of my all time favourite movies, but now that I think of it; it doesn't make sense. I have always seen people dejected and sobbing about their first love. So today lets talk about second love cause 'first love' is "OVERHYPED" First love is magical and enchanting. There is a lot of excitement about everything that surrounds your first relationship. You are young, wild, carefree and oh yes, you also have time in your hand. You're thrilled about every little thing; be it the first movie.. the first time you held hands... the first kiss.. the first outing... You have a list of all the firsts that happened.. Of course there are also the first fight...

1. They are good for careers 2. They're good for your health 3. They're good for your social lives 4. They're good for your friendships 5. They give you your own space 6. You learn to deal with shit 7. You start enjoying your own company 8. Your happiness starts with you. You get that realisation with a broken heart 9. You can take care of your family 10.

Your self worth soars insanely when you get out of it 13. You realise the importance of family. You know they would be the only ones who wouldn't leave you

When someone matters to you - you end up giving multiple second chances to them. Despite having two pathetic break ups i have still not been able to stop giving multiple second chances to the guy i love. It hurts when all the guys you fall in love with disappoint you in ways that you can't imagine. Every fucking time, this happens There are guys who take you for granted, there are guys who lie to you on your face and there are guys who treat you like shit. What you need to understand is that, you are not supposed to let someone control your happiness no matter how much you love them. When you love someone, you are your own self, you barr your soul in front of them without even an afterthought that they might fuck you over. And you deserve this, if you let someone fuck you over again and again and again. You deserve this... You deserve this for all the sacrifices that you did. You deserve this for putting their happiness in front of yours. You deserve this for imagining a future...

1. Don't ever dedicate a song to your boyfriend/girlfriend or crush... Fuckers ruin that song for u forever😑 2. Don't ever introduce them to your family or close cousins ... You can't tell your mom that you just lost touch with that person.. Mom's will pester you into calling them home 3. Rule 3: don't ever take those f*****s to your favourite spots... Sorry but post breakup those aren't going to be your favourite anymore 4. Rule 4: Don't spend your special days like birthdays, new year and Christmas eves with them... Unless you want to spend all your precious holidays sulking about a dimwit who didn't deserve you Sorry lil one, even Santa can't make u happy if u do that 5. Rule 5: Never ignore your best friends or the close knit group of idiots you have when you start dating.. Because these precious idiots are gonna come and pick u up when the a*****e drops you down.. they're gonna clean your puke.. make you laugh and make yo...
