In this world, sometimes you need to stand up for yourself, as you are enough for yourself and do not need a knight in shining armour.
Today I’m going to introduce yourself to you. You are the most beautiful creature of this entire world. So, take a deep breath and let’s start on this jolly ride.
It’s natural human tendency that whenever we feel lonely, stressed, confused; we just want someone to come and hold our hands and say “Honey, I’m there for you always. You will always find me beside you in your good as well bad times. Nothing is gonna happen to you sweetie. I’ll always take care of you and love you no matter what happens”. But when the reality comes , ‘Alas!’. You won’t find anyone for miles.
Where does the picture perfect guy vanish? What about the heart-full promises?
Do you know where the problem really lies? The problem is with you. Your expectation that someone will come on that white horse and will just carry you off, rescue you from all your troubles and problems and distress, and heal you with his never-ending love. All the melodrama starts here, right here, where you let your mind wander off to a distant romantic island, full of fantasies.
So, hey girl, just wake up and listen to your heartbeat. It’s still beating because of your own heart; not because of someone’s else. You are all alive by yourself. You are magic, my dear. You are a lovely miracle, whether you believe it or not. You are enough; just enough, to sustain this life on your own.
No one is gonna come and dispel your troubles with a magical wand and solve all your issues. You have to become your own savior. You have to stand up for yourself, honey. You are smart and beautiful enough. You are charming and gorgeous enough that hundreds of boys can fall down for your one smile. You are strong enough to take your own decisions. You are bold enough to venture into the wild by your own.
You are just enough, my friend.
So, next time, whenever you are down, stressed, just know this fact; you are the only one who can get yourself back on your toes; no one else. And in this journey of yours, I’ll always want you to grow more, achieve more and believe more on yourself.

Neena was the sole caregiver of Amma and though one would think that Amma was dependent on her, Neena felt otherwise.
Neena inhaled the aroma that emanated from the pan and took a deep breath. The aroma of cumin interspersed with butter transported her back to the modest kitchen in her native village. She could picture her father standing in the kitchen wearing his white crisp kurta as he made delectable concoctions for his only daughter.
Neena grew up in a home where both her parents worked together in tandem to keep the house up and running. She had a blissful childhood in her modest two-room house. The house was small but every nook and cranny gave her memories of a lifetime. Neena’s young heart imagined that her life would follow the same cheerful course. But how wrong she was!
When she was sixteen, the catastrophic clutches of destiny snatched away her parents. They passed away in a road accident and Neena was devastated. Relatives thronged her now gloomy house and soon it was decided that she should be married off.
Women today don’t want to be in a partnership that complicates their lives further. They need an equal partner with whom they can figure out life as a team, playing by each other’s strengths.
We all are familiar with that one annoying aunty who is more interested in our marital status than in the dessert counter at a wedding. But these aunties have somehow become obsolete now. Now they are replaced by men we have in our lives. Friends, family, and even work colleagues. It’s the men who are worried about why we are not saying yes to one among their clans. What is wrong with us? Aren’t we scared of dying alone? Like them?
A recent interaction with a guy friend of mine turned sour when he lectured me about how I would regret not getting married at the right time. He lectured that every event in our lives needs to be completed within a certain timeframe set by society else we are doomed. I wasn’t angry. I was just disappointed to realize that annoying aunties are rapidly doubling in our society. And they don’t just appear at weddings or family functions anymore. They are everywhere. They are the real pandemic.
Let’s examine this a little closer.
