What is beauty?
A combination of qualities that pleases the aesthetic senses.
What is aesthetics?
A theoretical concept based on perception.
Then why is there a common standard to define beauty which is merely a concept?
Everyone is in a mad rush to ape the latest trend and look beautiful.
No one wants to leave anything to the beholder’s perception…
Everyone just wants perfection.
Perfect eyes, perfect, nose, perfect lips,
Long lustrous hair, good height,
Slender fingers and long legs,
Thin waist and…
In this mad rush of perfect existence,
We overlook the beauty which is purest.
Eyes deeper than oceans which bare the soul,
Rough hands that have toiled,
Skin as wrinkled as a raisin having lived a full life,
Enigmatic demeanour that’s the virtue of a private existence.
Laughter as free as bells ringing with no pretence.
Skin gleaming with the pride of self-belief and joy of self-love.
Standing tall with confidence and towering above.
Donning clothes that are simple and basic yet functional.
Barefoot or high-heeled, but down to earth and grounded.
Achieving significant milestones and holding one’s head high.
Honest, loving, and loyal,
Respectful, generous, and humble,
Resilient, Compassionate, and Grateful.
These are the purest and meaningful aspects of beauty one must strive for,
Instead of merely cloning a pretentious standard when you can be so much more.

Ms. Kulkarni, please don’t apologise ‘IF’ you think you hurt women. Apologise because you got your facts wrong. Apologise for making sexual harassment a casual joke.
If Sonali Kulkarni’s speech on most modern Indian women being lazy left me shocked and enraged, her apology post left me deeply saddened.
I’d shared my thoughts on her problematic speech in an earlier article. So, I’ll share why I felt Kulkarni’s apology post was more damaging than her speech.
If her speech made her an overnight hero among MRAs, sexists, and people who were awed by her dramatic words, then her apology post made her a legendary saint.
There are many mountains I need to climb just to be, just to live my life, just to have my say... because they are mountains you've built to oppress women.
Trigger Warning: This deals with various kinds of violence against women including rape, and may be triggering for survivors.
I haven’t climbed a literal mountain yet Was busy with the metaphorical ones – born a woman Fighting for the air that should have come free And I am one of the privileged ones, I realize that
Yet, if I get passionate, just like you do I will pay for it – with burden, shame, – and possibly a life to carry So, my mountains are the laws you overturn My mountains are the empty shelves where there should have been pills
