An unsteady home

-
A person with mental health issues is not a sufferer alone. His loved ones and family also bear the consequences. The conflicts inside the mind of the mentally unhealthy person are projected outside. What could be a happy and healthy life turns out into an everyday struggle of avoiding and thinking. In reality, life becomes a misery. Where the world moves fast and forward, but for these people, being surrounded by taboos and judgments, it is like running against the water currents, with resistant waves of anxiety and self-doubt swallowing them. Consequently, forcing them to pause every time and give a third thought to every small decision or act. Every new change can feel like a cliff to climb off. We don't realise how lucky we are when we can manage our thoughts and are not burdened by them. We only realise when we empathise with those who bear them. Oftentimes, these mental issues are unidentified and dismissed as personality traits unless they spiral up to become a bigger issue....

RADHA IS YOU (a religious perspective)

-
   We all have some kind of space or emptiness inside of us which we keep on filling with our career, gym or relationships but it never gets fulfilled. It is a never-ending circle of desires which we crave for our whole lives. The world can never provide us the truly fulfilling love and thus we struggle with ourselves at the end of time. Radha never united with Krishna at least in this world. Still, they were considered one or were already one that's why never united with each other according to perspectives of some spirituals. They both were inseparable but crossed their paths differently.  I think Radha is you, me and all of us, who wanted to unite with unfathomable love but are struck here in this world. And it is painful to live in temporary short pleasures of life without knowing what we are and following the ways of the world just because the world has always been like that. The Radha is you because it feels it is in agony as it can never feel God's presence but kno...

Teaching Kids to be Kind

-
  Modern Parenting skills focuses on being friendlier to your kids while dealing with their problems so that they can easily share with their parents and do not put themselves in a bigger mess. Parents are now being open as compared to the past such that they are teaching their kids about sex education and learning new things from them about technology or modern trends which one could not even imagine decades back.  My mother taught me about sex education when I think I was in class sixth or seventh. But, when I haven't entered my teens and was a bit small to know the stuff and surprisingly discovered pads in my home, I asked my mother what these are, and she came up with a quick reply of "adult diapers." This scenario could make me smile till date! Parents teach us about family values and social skills but what they generally forget is teaching their children to be kind and treating others with kindness.  The parents do their duty well in most of the cases to protect the...

The Indian Competition System

-
 Even after getting admission in Dental college, a medical aspirant resents and regrets all his years of being unable to crack the NEET UG exam. A UPSC aspirant goes on giving his 7th attempt at the age of 33. This is the sad reality of the cutthroat Indian Competition System that inevitably makes the clearance of exam as an accolade of achievement to be worn and thus get validated by society. It impacts the mental well-being of lakhs of students who sit for these exams and makes them like a horse with blinders just to focus on the target and 'if you fail you are good for nothing' they say. A lot of them are just enrolling in entrance tests due to their parents' aspirations or even when they are unaware of their interests or capabilities. These are the questions to current education system and the society: What about those major proportion who fail?  Are their careers put on secondary options away from the pedestal? Why are they not trained to explore other unconventional o...

Perfectionist attitude: a cursed apple 1.2

-
                 Perfectionism is like a cursed apple given to the Snow White by the Witch queen.   Perfection has become an aim due to increase in living standards with time. This attitude is inculcated in individuals as soon as they began their schooling. Soon, this becomes a major issue when they enter adulthood with so many responsibilities and burdens. Now, if they keep on aiming for perfectionism in their work or themselves or others, they will waste time, money and other resources.  Apart from that, being a perfectionist can sometimes even make you a ' maniac' with those burdening expectations which can't be fulfilled. This can spiral down to stress, anxiety and depression. At this hour,  ask yourself :  "Is that really important to be on top? Am I sacrificing my mental peace and happiness to get the perfect work, score or relationship?" "What is perfect in the very first place to start with?" In reality it's ...

The way of steam

Image
" I have been overthinking so much, cooking up my stories... far from reality, have lost what is even in my sight and the moment... which I know will never be back... Oh, I've been so messed up...." What is the way of life? What in the world are religions or scriptures trying to teach? Out of all the philosophies today, I wish to talk about the fundamental thing that all religions and beliefs focus upon that is BEING TOGETHER . It's so simple message yet difficult. If everyone would be same as you and me, there won't be fun! We all have different mindsets, and we are here to adjust in this world. The people of God talk about being honest, truthful and kind in our deeds, and preach about not doing bad karma.  What is it all for?  To live in harmony for us and others.  " Fear the God, your life is like a steam of water, "  they say.  Even I don't think myself as a faithful servant of God, but I do believe that preaching religion is good as long as it ...

Listen to your heart

-
We all struggle between whether to listen to heart or mind.  When mind is full of negative thoughts it is always better to choose what the heart says, what the heart wants to feel.  The gloomy days are over now, rise up and heal. When you are doubting yourself, you are making your soul feel powerless and deep inside you are hurting yourself. Sometimes accepting the reality is the only option, you can't always run away or look upto everyone for help. All you can do is look within and trust the process.
