If you ever traveled back in time, what would you tell your younger self?
I wish I can meet you today….
If I meet you today, I would tell you, “You don’t have to be thinner, taller or fairer to be prettier.”
You are beautiful just the way you are.
If I meet you today, I would tell you, “Things are not bleak as you make yourself to believe”
Remember, if it hurts more than it makes you happy, let it go, for it is not love.
If I meet you today, I would tell you, “Believe in yourself, your abilities and silence those inner demons.”
If you have come this far, you can go even farther than what you think is possible; i’ts only in the mind that there are limits.
If I meet you today, I would tell you, “Let go of the toxic people in your life.”
Let them go, nothing about them is worth stressing over, especially what they bring about, be it bitterness or strife.
If I meet you today, I would tell you, “Don’t bother if everyone jeers at you, pities you and speaks nastily of you.”
Even though the whole world might seem against you, there would always be someone who wholeheartedly loves you.
If I meet you today, I would tell you, “You don’t have to prove anything to anyone.”
For you will soon move on and their opinions, well, like the winds of yesterday, in no time they would be gone.
If I meet you today, I would tell you, “Be selfish, be loving and be kind to yourself.”
No matter who lets you down, you would always have someone to count on and that would be you.
And, if I meet you, my 20-year-old self, today, I would tell you, “Take that first step, don’t doubt yourself, not today nor ever.”
For miracles are just around the corner!

Shows like Indian Matchmaking only further the argument that women must adhere to social norms without being allowed to follow their hearts.
When Netflix announced that Indian Matchmaking (2020-present) would be renewed for a second season, many of us hoped for the makers of the show to take all the criticism they faced seriously. That is definitely not the case because the show still continues to celebrate regressive patriarchal values.
Here are a few of the gendered notions that the show propagates.
A mediocre man can give himself a 9.5/10 and call himself ‘the world’s most eligible bachelor’, but an independent and successful woman must be happy with receiving just 60-70% of what she feels she deserves.
As long as teachers are competent in their job, and adhere to the workplace code of conduct, how does it matter what they do in their personal lives?
A 30 year old Associate Professor at a well-known University, according to an FIR filed by her, was forced to resign because the father of one of her students complained that he found his son looking at photographs of her, which according to him were “objectionable” and “bordering on nudity”.
There are two aspects to this case, which are equally disturbing, and which together make me question where we are heading as a society.
When the father of an 18 year old finds his son looking at photographs of a lady in a swimsuit, he can do many things. What this parent allegedly did was to dash off a letter to the University which states:
