About


I'd say that this blog is a culmination of all my different experiences and things that I might feel. If I were to describe this blog in 4 words, it would be zindagi na milegi dobara (you live only once). because it means a lot to me and also because this movie is one of my favorite ones EVER.

In the end, I hope you like being here and find comfort in my words.

being perceived

how much of ourselves do we erase everyday to fit in? how much of our lives do we waste away trying to conform to our own and other people's expectations of ourselves. i couldn't get back to writing here for the longest time because i thought that it's pretty ridiculous that i still want to write.  everyone loves making fun of everything these days and people just stuck in one place especially derive strange pleasure off of downsizing people for trying, or maybe that is just what i pay attention to, because i've also seen so many people being really nice and supportive. but at the end of the day, does it really matter what anyone thinks at all? isn't this my blog? my thoughts and words? what i'm saying is something you've probably heard from a lot of people, but it is really hard to practice all the time. overcoming the aversion of being perceived and then being judged after being perceived is really tough. last year on my flight home, i thought to myself, i...

femininity

is femininity a social construct? yes. does it make sort of make sense even though it's a social construct? yes.  femininity is generally a set of attributes that is associated with a woman, it is of course, a cultural norm, but somehow it makes sense. every woman need not display femininity and men can also be open about their femininity. okay, enough justifying the topic of discussion for today. i want to talk about people embracing their feminine sides. as children, we have certain interests that may align with what we consider feminine interests, like putting make up on, painting your nails or even general skincare. instead of considering these attributes as a normal part of one's personality, we considered them a form of femininty or weakness.  i don't think it was me who considered it a form of weakness, it was the general perception of the crowd i was around. femininity is generally associated with fragility. women (and men) feel the need to conform to these norms of...
