Tug-Of-War

 A Hello and a warm hug to all the 20s out there, who are juggling to be a kid again and to be the perfect adult. Welcoming us to adulthood, with fingers crossed.


We are stuck between all the question marks, exclamation points, commas, and periods. Our thoughts always start with "What if...," "What if not...," "Why...," "What...," and mostly end with... "na...naa, there's no end, by the way."


We feel it's complicated with the phrases love, relationship, move on, break up, passion, heart, romance, guilt, fairy tale, companionship, compromise, expectations, responsibilities. Ough!! So much to handle.


Isn't our generation a little bit confused about the above dramas?  

Like guys! what are we trying to find? What does it mean to us? 

Are we not satisfied with what we have and the way we have them? 

Are we starving for a "Perfect Love," "perfect End," "perfect Story"? 

Did we already lose our best moments while hustling to find perfection in everything?


Are we all stuck between being Naina and Bunny from YJHD... joking.


We want to explore the whole world but also miss being in our home. We want to do our best in our careers and also don't want anyone to take away our freedom. We long for having a fairy tale in our lives but also want a simple story. We wait for the the whole week for the weekend to come just to lay down on the bed and listen to music. We want great companionship but are really afraid of commitments. We are struggling to find the right balance.

                                             



But... that's okay, we are all here for each other. It's okay to feel confused and uncertain. Adulthood is a journey, not a destination. 

One day we will realize what gives the right value in our lives. Until then, love what you have, respect your flaws, work for your passion. Fall down and remember to get up. Face rejections and move on with a smile. Make sure both applause and criticism add value to your life. Talk to your people, understand who is really there for you, and keep them in your life. Buy good clothes, dress up, and glow. GO grab your favorite food. Take some time to talk to your friends, family.

 I'm not writing this to give some gyan to anyone. This is for me, for myself, and for all those who need this.

Perspective

 It is Saturday morning, as usual, my alarm beeps at 8:00 am to wake me up for the day. I smile and think, "Bro, it's the weekend, so calm down and sleep." After some time, I wake up and arrange the bed. Later, I go down to check the breakfast, but since I live in a PG, the food is either tasteless or not enough. I go to the store and buy some milk, boil it, and have some cereals along with it. I feel full and satisfied after my first meal, which I usually skip during the weekdays just to have some more extra time to sleep. Finding my laundry bag looking sadly at me for all the clothes it is handling, I decide to wash them. For many days, I have wanted to make a craft to keep at my desk, so I decide to finish it, and it comes out pretty good. I cook myself some egg rice for lunch and make my tummy full and happy. I open Instagram, and it's the weekend—everybody there, everybody here, and who cares. I feel people are living life, everyone is traveling, exploring, movin...

HER-1

                  The world has changed. Many women are able to study, pursue higher education, find jobs, and many more, but their families or their society still control them. I do not understand these things called… allowing her, giving her, sending her…. Who are you and I to let her do…. That is her damn life and she should allow herself …. She should be able to make her own decisions ...to do things she loves ...to do what she wants to do .... she should live her life the way she wants it to be and not according to how you set it up!                                                                               Here, girls are mentally prepared from childhood to obey others, to always live life according to someone else's rules. She is taught to a...
