An Old One From My Collection!

Very well.. Happy International Women's Day to all the beautiful ladies out there 😊

Thank you Google for the beautiful doodle dedicated to us. Thank you to the World that we were given a special date in the calendar to make this ours.

After having spent such a beautiful day, I just started wondering if we really do need to celebrate such a day. In a country where people try to see past your dupatta or stare at you in public or hell yeah.. where every morning the news reads “another minor raped in x village of x city”. Is this one day celebration by any chance giving relief to the lives lost in the battle of survival?

I don't know if we really “need” a day as Women's Day to call her special. All I want is a Country which is free of all the nuisance that it's holding. All I want is a Country that will provide justice to the gals/women who have lost/are living with the life that has been gone/spoiled. By the everyday news, things are clear that no man is scared to commit a crime as worse as rape because even he knows that he can escape from the law. I want that Country where each man with the wrong thought will have to think twice to even look up at a girl. I want that Country which will provide relief and satisfaction to the family that the girls have left behind. When sometimes even a “wrong” touch from a friend can spoil your entire day, I can put myself in the shoes of the victims who had to go through hell and then try to live back.

So no. I do not wish for any special day dedication to us Women. India we say is a land of rich culture and heritage. There was a time when girls were worshipped. And look at the state we are in now. I don't a want day where my dad needs to call me up at 9PM and confirm if I have reached home safe from work because all he knows is that we are no where safe.

For me, as long as I am respected and trusted I know I am special and I do know that for my parents, my best friends and for the people that love me I will always be special. No offense to the people who celebrated this day. But in the end do ask yourself..Are you really happy with the things that is happening around you?

They say do not cry for change. Be the change. And I'd say home is a place to start with. Learn to respect yourself first. I am not complaining but yes when I gave a second thought today I started thinking of all the souls that we have lost in the hands of hungry men. When will this fight end? When shall the day come when we don't have to think twice before stepping out of our house alone. So enough of all the ads that are praising us for being a woman. All I want is a safe place on earth to live in. Period.

Life - Upside Down!

It is 6 in the morning. My alarm rings and I am up within 5secs so my next door neighbor will not complain about the alarm waking them as well 😋 कराग्रे वसते लक्ष्मिः करमध्ये सरस्वति । करमूले तु गोविन्दः प्रभाते करदर्शनम् ॥   Just while i am rubbing my hands and placing them over my eyes - I hesitate to touch my face, I am suppressing my cough and trying to check if my throat is hurting? This has been the pattern for almost a week now. This new virus has not only drained people physically but also mentally. For some of us, this dry cough, sore throat has always been a part and parcel of our lives. But now even a minute of these feeling send a shiver down our spine.One is always worried if this routine is an indication of the scary virus. What is more worse is the thought that if you have got it and are giving it to others as well. While sharing is caring, given the current situation as the doctors and govt is appealing - at this hour of emergency, what is required most f...

Turning 30 ;)

This post is a special one 😊 The one about - "Why God why 😭" birthday! A lot of of friends asked me, how special was your first birthday after being married this year? Did your husband make it memorable?   Well.. Here's a post dedicated to the Mr. for making it a beautiful celebration. From being an unplanned backpacker to being the almost Mr.Perfect planner Paveen ensured I enjoyed every bit of my birthday!  😁   I'm definitely not a fan of fancy resorts, so when we took an auto to Stone Wood resort at Gokarna, I almost felt more disappointed that we weren't staying at a hostel by the beach 🙈 But kudos for the arrangement! Having a beautiful hut by the pool was so serene! and when it was time for the cake cutting, we were trying to find the perfect place by the beach.. and we made it to cutting the cake with dj at a restaurant!    The most memorable part of the celebration was a sky lantern. I'd been bragging about wantin...

Happy Trails To You!

"Only those who risk going too far can possibly find out how far they can go” – A quote that suits me so beautifully well. Before I want to write about my winter trek, I would proudly want to call this a personal achievement. Why? Because for someone who cannot really bear the Bengaluru winters ..well Kedarkantha was no less than a life challenge. With not even a second of skin to be exposed to air, I survived India’s most favorite winter trek. Yes, this trek was as exciting as it sounds from my first paragraph! This was a surprise trek planned. Many came into the plan but had to drop out in between for various reasons. But still – We made it!! With initial advance booking of the trek via Thrillophia, we were promised that the trek group will consists of 18-20 people. But can you guess the number of people of our group? 105 it was. Oh yes, this was just one of our group with this number and there were atleast 20 groups more with similar numbers everyday. Yes, that wa...
