We need space.

      Do you agree that the one thing out of many others you need while growing up is your room or your personal space? No matter how small it is or however it is, it should be your own. Many of us can relate to this.        There should be at least one place that comes to your mind when you are done with everything and want to cry your heart out, but such that no one would see you at your worst. We come across such situations often. When that happens, you need a hideout of your own in which you can confide your emotions behind its walls. Being there alone for some time allows you to reflect on your actions so that you can fix them and go on with your life with a clear mind. 

A ride to maturity...

After many requests from my Anna (grandpa) to my mom and us siblings to visit him once in 2 to 3 months , the day is finally decided to pay him a visit . Me , always reluctant to go has to accompany my mom now that my exam is over and I have no excuse to give . It is basically a bike ride from our home until we reach the destination which is approximately 30 kilometers . On the way , there's always some chitchat going on between my mom and my mama(maternal uncle) which somehow makes the silent ride somewhat interesting. But the topics they talk about are  as expected monotonous, everytime it's the same . Especially the one about crops to be sown this year or the one's sown previously , their increasing or decreasing market prices , profit and loss and many more things which sound just like formalities to me( cause I don't understand most of them) but are really a serious talk for them . But my favourite part of this ride is mostly the green croplands on the both roadsides which are a rare scenario in big cities where I used to go for coaching. And I am the type of person who likes to stay indoors and step out only when required. But that's the reason I enjoy watching the landscapes whenever I am on such rides. Because you understand the importance of some things only when you are deprived of them . 



You might have known by now that I am the introverted kind of person and that's why I can't do well outside my comfort zone especially with people ..or can it be called as sociophobia ?? Ummm..well yes but a milder one , because I can have a heartful conversation with people I know but find it difficult to make new relations. That's the main reason I hate being somewhere which is totally new to me . But the reason I am always reluctant to visit my mama's house is because I live a life which is very contrasting to them and it is hard for me to adjust there . I often feel uncomfortable whenever any aunt of mine makes remarks on why I don't talk much or why can't I cook and do household chores . Dude ! I am not preparing for " how to be a good housewife after marriage"...but for an entrance exam, and the fact that I am going for second attempt after failing in the first one is already very frustrating. Why do you have to add fuel to it :(  Everything can be learnt when it is the right time for it . It's not like there's any fundamental rule for girls to learn everything once they've reached the puberty . Everything fits in the right place when there's time for it . 


The society I live in was once a judgemental one and that too extremely but I can see it changing little by little now . But the one  thing I have always been grateful to while going through all of this was my parents' support in every walk of my life . They gave me  the rights to make my own decisions and backed me whenever I felt weak . But they also taught me that your decisions will have their own consequences and that you need to take the responsibility for it whatever the result may be ...accept it , learn from it and let it go as a lesson taught by life . That's how you become a person who's soul keeps growing . And those learnt lessons help you to cope with the cruel realities of life by becoming your shield against them . And that's how we become mature !!!

A page from my diary...

       Our heart is undoubtedly one of the busiest organ of our body , for it not only continuously pumps the blood but is also engaged in our emotional rollercoaster rides! Our thoughts are the reflection of our personality or vice versa. When we think of any person , it is not actually the person we remember but the memories, good or bad , spent with that person.We,as humans,share different relations with others. And unknowingly our expectations from them begin to take roots and hopes keep growing even if there is no prior commitment of any kind. But when these expectations are not fulfilled we start to play the blame game . Every relation has it's own boundaries which we tend to forget often. All this leads to nowhere except for the pain to our own heart . So moral of the story ... " Keep life simple . Expect less and be happy with what you have :)"

Being 18.

                                                         The age of 18 is a very crucial one in every teenager's life. This is an age of discovery, of adventure and age where you meet many temporary people. This is an age where you have enough courage and will to pursue your dreams. You are bound to take risks and when failed, can get up and try again and again until it goes your way.                            You tend to trust everyone and fall for every sweet talk. At 18 everything is possible and the coming day seems friendly. The memories you make at his age will stay with you forever and whenever you'll look back in time at your 18-year-old self, you'll reminisce of the days when you were brave enough to follow your heart and choose your path without any second thought....

Can you really let go of the past ?

  You can never really forget the past , especially if it is painful . You say you've moved on but , is that really the case ? No matter how much you try , the pain doesn't leave you just like that. It resides in your heart , somewhere in one of it's corners until it is triggered and even with the slightest of mention it is ready to peep out. You can't get rid of it as per your wish . It can either be avoided or you learn to go on living with it .  Time is not the greatest healer although it does aid in healing . It just brings to you more circumstances be it favourable or unfavorable which need to be dealt with first . When you divert your attention towards them , it helps you living in the present forgetting about the past for the time being. That's how you avoid it . As for those who can't avoid it , start living with it , and with time get used to the pain becoming numb towards it .                     " Because no mat...
