If I win something, it’s AchieveMENt. If I get a raise, it’s increMENt. If I climb the corporate ladder, I’m in the manageMENt. If I fight, it’s an arguMENt. If I have an opinion, I have a judgMENt. If I want to de-stress, I search for entertainMENt or refreshMENt. If I’m elated, it’s exciteMENt. If I am in a relationship, it’s commitMENt. If I have my own home, it will be an apartMENt. If I order something, the shipMENt will be out for delivery. If I want to take care of my mind, I go to a MENtal Health Professional.
If I join politics, I will have to go to parliaMENt and become a part of governMENt. If I become a scientist, I will conduct experiMENts. If I’m a clerk, I will take care of docuMENts. If I’m a mother, I will offer nourishMENt. If I’m a student, I will have to get through assessMENts and assignMENts. Even if I become the best sportswoman in the world, I will keep playing tournaMENts. If I care about Mother Earth, I will become an EnvironMENtal Activist. If I say goodbye to my career, it will be retireMENt.
If I go on Social Media, I have a MENtion. If I watch YouTube, there are advertiseMENts. If I go to a restaurant, I get a MENu and I see MENdu Wada. If I want to stay home and cook for myself, I see Top RaMEN in my kitchen.
If I’m an idealist, I will face disillusionMENt. If I’m appreciated, I will get a compliMENt. If I make a difference, I will be a phenoMENon. If I dislike someone, it’s resentMENt.
And here’s proof that men want to control women’s bodies: It’s MENstruation. It’s MENopause. It’s HyMEN. It’s abdoMEN. It’s ailMENt.
Even if I question patriarchy, it will be anti-establishMENt. If I need guidance, I will find a MENtor, who will give me encourageMENt. If I mess things up, it will be an embarrassMENt.
And if I want to end this rant in God’s grace, I will have to say aMEN!

But what if you could highlight the pleasure of eating a mango? Mango-eating has always been the stuff slurpy, sloppy moments are made of.
Someone once said, ‘A little coitus never hoitus.’ Or, as a passage from an ancient Indian text says, ‘The horse and mare, the bull and deer, form the high union, while the horse and deer form the highest union. On the female side, the elephant and bull, the mare and hare, form low unions, while…’
Apparently, the animals represent people who are trying to have a union, that is, sex. This passage shows how the ancient Indians knew a thing or two about the birds and the bees and the hares and the mares. We had passion or kaam. And we had the Kama Sutra.

Growing old does not have to mean that your life is over. As a senior citizen, time is all yours now. So go do all the things you could not until now.
“You don’t stop laughing when you grow old, you grow old when you stop laughing.” ― George Bernard Shaw
Who wants to grow old? Someone once told me ‘It’s just a number!’ so once I crossed that threshold they call ‘senior citizen’ I decided to protest. I hate the thought of being called old or senior. After all for me, age was always an issue of mind over matter. ‘If you don’t mind it doesn’t matter’.
People mocked the 'fat girl' - her huge waistline, bad hairstyle, and fashion choices. Her decision to keep her suffering a secret comes with consequences.
People mocked the ‘fat girl’ – her huge waistline, bad hairstyle, and fashion choices. But she had firmly made up her mind to keep her suffering a secret.
Change is the only constant, they say. From the minute you are born to the last second you draw breathe, you are changing, evolving and coming into your own as an individual.
There is an entire world out there that pushes you into certain directions. Sometimes motivating, sometimes driving away from, sometimes pulling towards so many directions. Each experience is a brick that goes into building the monument that becomes recognized as you, in your circles, big or small.
