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.

Dear YJHD

 It's already been 11 years since 'Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani" was released, and it remains my all-time favorite movie. Initially, I loved it because both of the main characters are my favorites. Somehow, I find myself re-watching the movie every year, without even realizing it at first. My brother would throw tantrums whenever I re-watched it. Later in life, I realized that I wasn't re-watching it just because it's my favorite movie or because my favorite actors are in it. The movie became my safe space. The characters became my friends, and whenever life gets hard, I turn to them. I spend time with them. During those 2 to 3 hours, they transport me into a new world, helping my mind forget about the chaos happening in life. I can confidently say I grew up watching it. This movie has been with me through different phases of my life. It gave me those charming Bollywood vibes when I watched it for the first time. Later on , it stayed with me when my school friends had t...

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...
