For me, success is being satisfied. I am happy where I am. That does not mean I do not want to grow but that I am in no rush for that growth.
Hi,
I would like to start by asking you a question, “When would you call yourself successful?”
This question could have different answers for different people. In my day-to-day life, I get to talk to a lot of people who are constantly struggling to grow and to reach a particular somewhere. The hustle is real, it’s all around us, but where is the calm?
People talk about work-life balance but is real success hidden in the true balance? Or is success a measure of your bank balance? Do you think your friends enjoying a luxurious holiday are successful? Do you aim to reach where your boss is? If you run a business, is success a profit or a turnover? If you are in a job, is success a designation or a pay scale?
Each of us could have our definition of success but it is important to find this answer. To know when you can stop running and enjoy what you have achieved. To know when it is finally okay to say I am satisfied with my journey. Each of us should think about this and write it down somewhere. Look at that every morning and when we hit that target accept it. Accept to leave the race, accept to take a break and pause to enjoy the success.
For me, success is being satisfied. I am happy where I am. That does not mean I do not want to grow but that I am in no rush for that growth. I have come to a stage where I can enjoy what I have achieved, my brand is still young, and still needs to grow a lot but that has nothing to do with my success. I refuse to hustle; I refuse to run.

Women in India enter into the institution of marriage not with any guarantee but just some faith, and any man who has a healthy and safe relationship with his wife would understand the gravity of the situation and welcome such a law.
Trigger Warning: This deals with rape, marital rape, and violence against women, and may be triggering for survivors.
The Criminal Law Amendment Act, 1983 has made a statutory provision in the face of Section.114 (A) of the Evidence Act, which states that if the victim girl says that she did no consent to the sexual intercourse, the Court shall presume that she did not consent.
Passive giving in is not consent. However, it is unclear why the above rule is not applied to cases in marriage where clear consent is not given by the wife.
The criticism for Gehraiyaan has irked many women, and given incels, moral policers, and envious trolls the opportunity to harass an actress who has finally played the most realistic character in her career.
I’m sorry that I’m late to the party. But I finally decided to write on why I think Deepika’s character in Gehraiyaan is actually one of her best chosen roles.
Disclaimer: Deepika is a tall, good looking actress, who I never really considered a phenomenal or decent actress. After noticing the hullabaloo around this film, I dared to watch it on Amazon Prime. To be frank, the movie offered me nothing interesting or new, and as someone who is both a movie and TV show buff, I didn’t even lift an eyebrow. However, if there was one thing that I found realistic in the film, it was Alisha’s character. No, this is not another review, but a character analysis of the female protagonist in this film. Honestly, this is one of the most real characters that I have seen this actress play.
A woman hailing from a middle- class family, trying to make ends meet, while her incompetent father and partner have failed to be financial heads of the family. They have failed to keep the family afloat, and Alisha’s character has no choice but to take on the responsibility.
