What holds one back? What holds you back? Have you ever asked this question to yourself? If not, then please do it right away.
I believe each and every individual breathing in this universe wants to attain his own sanctum sanctorum at some or the other point of time. No matter how enormous the difficulties seem to be, that urge to take a plunge in the ocean of dreams and pick up the best one for self keeps burning deep inside.
Then what makes one different from another one? How does one outperform the other?
What holds one back? What holds you back?
Have you ever asked this question to yourself? If not, then please do it right away.
Instead of comparing our success with other’s success, instead of criticizing others, instead of blaming others for our present situation, we should ask this simple question to ourselves, that why are we not doing anything for ourselves, what is holding us back and how do we overcome it?
Below mentioned few steps might be of some help:
I am still a work in progress, I believe we all are 🙂 But if you ask me what fear I had or how did I overcome it? Here is the answer—
I loved writing, it was all good till I was writing in college or in my personal diary but when I learnt about blogging, it became a course of fear for me, but I wanted to do it because I wanted to write. I started writing and facing all my fears of writing one by one, my major fear was my grammar and my vocabulary. I always feared of writing something wrong, I sometimes asked my husband to cross-check my writing for me. But after writing 50 articles, I gained confidence, after getting a few comments on my blog I gained more confidence.
Today I am writing my 200th article and all my fears are bygones. Through writing, I have learnt new words, met new people, understood a different perspective. I am still learning, trying to improve my vocab and learning new ways to be creative.

Some time ago, Imtiaz Ali and Hansal Mehta respectively spoke of biopics of Madhubala and Meena Kumari. But do these biopics do justice to these women?
I recently came across a Reddit thread that discussed the fact that filmmaker Imtiaz Ali had announced making a biopic of Madhubala, and I wanted to explore this a little.
Of late, biopics based on the lives of beautiful but fatefully tragic women such as Lady Diana and Marilyn Monroe have created waves. Closer at home, we hear about the possibilities of biopics being made on the lives of Meena Kumari and Madhubala as well. These were hugely famous, stunningly beautiful women who were the heartthrobs of millions; who died tragically young.
I am glad that the Orange Flower Awards seek self-nomination. High achieving women often suffer from self-doubt, and this is a good way to remind us that we are good enough.
A few days ago, I saw an Instagram post announcing the Orange Flower Awards which recognise the power of women’s voices. I read about it with curiosity, but didn’t give it a second thought.
I received an e mail from Women’s Web seeking self-nominations for the Orange Flower Awards, and I ignored it. Yes, I write occasionally, but I didn’t think my work was good enough for me to nominate myself in any of the categories.
A past winner especially tagged me and asked me to look at nominating myself, and I told her that I was not ready yet. “That is up to you”, she said, “but I think you should nominate yourself.”
