It's natural to be afraid because you've faced pain in the past. But - life's experiences all matter, even the disappointing ones.
It’s natural to be afraid because you’ve faced pain in the past. But – life’s experiences all matter, even the disappointing ones. Let go of your fears in 2018!
Not everything in life goes as expected. Sometimes, in fact a lot of times we are disappointed…I certainly am! And then we start missing a lot of things – food, friends, family, love, hope and perhaps lots of other things…
We are humans. Made of emotions.
And when it comes to emotions, we crave for them and fear them at the same time..
It’s that sudden surge in your heart to pour yourself out unconditionally in all directions into everything around you. That mystery of not knowing the depth of your feelings incites the excitement to fall for it. And even though the fear of getting hurt may be shallow, as you fall into it, it proves that it is for real!
For those who measure and confirm every detail can never get through such unforgettable moments of bliss.
The human heart can’t be forced; it is or it isn’t. If it is, nothing is can harm it, and if it isn’t, acceptance is really important. It isn’t meant to be handled with caution, it’s meant to be passionate and understood sans words.
It is adorned with the scars of the past on a slate that can’t be rewritten or wiped clean. It just has to be this way; memories are precious – good or bad, we cherish them and we must understand that none of them were futile. They are all meant to be purposeful for reasons only the universe knows. We hold on to the lessons of the past and that’s selfish. But that’s okay, maybe because we have been selfless for too long.
Its just that all of us need somebody to talk to, about nothing specific, but just like that, to feel good.
Without any questions or answers, but just to know that somebody, someone is around…that’s all.
So, this being the last post of 2017, before I begin my celebrations for New Year’s Eve, I promise that I’m going to let my heart be free from all the fears and love unconditionally. I’ll be selfish, yet magnanimous. I’ll embrace my flaws and work on my strengths. I’ll give up anything that bores me or stresses me out. I promise to take up that hobby that I’ve been wanting to since years. I’ll not let the unknown stop me and I’ll let my curiosity develop and explore the mysteries. I’ll pack my bags and strike off all the items on that bucketlist.
So cheers! Here’s to a new start! Here’s to lots of beer and love and adventures! Here’s to 2018!

UP Boards Topper Prachi Nigam was trolled on social media for her facial hair; our obsession with appearance is harsh on young minds.
Prachi Nigam’s photo has been doing the rounds on social media for the right reasons. Well, scratch that- I wish the above statement were true. This 15-year-old girl should ideally be revelling in her spectacular achievement of scoring a whopping 98.05% and topping her tenth-grade boards. But oddly enough, along with her marks, it’s something else that garners more attention – her facial hair.
While the trolls are driving themselves giddy by mocking this girl who hasn’t even completed her school yet, the ones who are taking her side are going one step ahead – they are sharing her photoshopped pictures, sans the facial hair, looking nothing less than a celebrity with captions saying – “Prachi Nigam, ten years later”.
Doctors have already diagnosed her with PCOD in their comments, based on photographic evidence. While we have names for people shamed for their weight – body shaming, for their skin colour- racism, for their age- age shaming, for being a female- sexism, this category of shaming where one faces criticism for their appearance has no name. With that, it also has zero shame attached to it.
