The economics of supply and demand apply to life too! Growing up with hardship certainly makes you understand the value of your hard-earned skills.
You can relish food and value its importance only on a hungry stomach! Growing up with nothing is like walking an arid pathway of life with no frills attached, without much ado about facilities or aid.
The hardship that one encounters in life will only toughen them and empower them with willpower and hope. And it is this hope that dawns a realisation within, that hard work and dedication are the foremost mantras of success in the run up of life.
With realisation comes aspiration, an instinct to struggle for survival surfaces, a strange hunger seeps in, the hunger to strive, the hunger to seek and learn!
When you grow up without the right tools or right people around you, you learn to become independent and self-initiated. When there is no guidance from anyone, you will seek information, draw your own roadmap, bombard the opportunities and stride confidently.
Often it is the empty handed man who carefully learns to weigh the multitudes of success. A person with lesser opportunities is more driven by his dream, his passion to accomplish that vision than a person with ample opportunities.
Humans are a little like donkeys – we need a bait to move forward and when this bait is about making your mark in life, when this bait is a gruesome reminder of going back into that misery if you don’t gear up now, it really works! The unavailability and shortcomings only make you more focused and more determined! The dream of becoming something motivates you to kick start!
Many success stories have happened on lesser trodden narrow paths without any stems of support. It is this self-initiative and self-motivating factor that comes handy at the times of distress to solve and deal with a problem.
This self-initiation teaches you to appreciate all those who have struggled to be what they are!
And empathy connects you with people and refurbishes your understanding and belief in life.
When your foundation has been laid on the roughest surfaces, where you struggled to earn each drop of water that has today curated and moulded you, you will value little things in life that go on to make big differences. You will respect and realise the worth of being blessed in life.
The failures and rejections, the tough and the rough paths you took teach you humility, because you know you have been through it all to reach where you are today standing!
Nothingness is absolute infinity! That which exists and that which could exist as soon as we perceive it!
So essentially it is for you to perceive everything out of a nothing and stride up in life!

The plight of Indian women's mental health often goes unnoticed. Co-founders Vivek Satya Mitram and Pooja Priyamvada conceived the idea of the Bharat Dialogues Women & Mental Health Summit to address this.
Trigger Warning: This contains descriptions of mental health trauma and suicide, and may be triggering for survivors.
Author’s note: The language and phraseology used are not the author’s words but the terms and narrative popularly used for people living with mental illnesses, and may feel non-inclusive. It is merely for putting our point across better.
I have seen how horrifying was the treatment given to those with mental illness.
People say that women are the greatest enemies of women. I vehemently disagree. It is the patriarchal mindset that makes women believe in the wrong ideology.
The entire world celebrates International Women’s Day on March 8, 2024. It should be a joyful day, but unfortunately, not all women are entitled to this privilege, as violence against women is at its peak. The experience of oppression pushes many women to choose freedom. As far as patriotism is concerned, feminism is not a cup of tea in this society.
What happens when a woman decides to stand up for herself? Does this world easily accept the decisions of women in this society? What inspires them to be free of the clutches of the oppression that women have faced for ages? Most of the time, women do not get the chance to decide for themselves. Their lives are always at the mercy of someone, which can be their parents, siblings, husband, or children.
In some cases, women do not feel the need to make any decisions. They are taught to obey the patriarchal system, which makes them believe that they are right. In my family, I was never taught to make decisions on my own. It was always my parents who bought dresses and all that I needed.
