Appreciation for other women is something that came to me a bit later in life. I grew up a tomboy and often laughed/looked down upon the girly, doll/princess obsessed creatures I could never relate to. I was obsessed with my books, He-man and imaginary space adventures and often ended up making other girls cry with… Read More Why we as women must appreciate the other women in our lives
Humans have been around for over 200,000 years and have lived in Neolithic civilisations for around 6000 years. Ancestry.com explains that an average generation can be considered 25 years. Given this information, there must have existed some 240 generations before me tracing back to the invention of the wheel (crazy) and approximately 8,000 tracing back to… Read More Miracle of the 16,000 odd orgasms
We love so reluctantly but we hate so passionately, even gain solicited and unsolicited support from others in intensifying that hate. But, rarely do we experience those same overzealous, often long-term reactions when we admit our love for something/someone. This isn’t my high horse observation, I am just as guilty. However, in the past few… Read More Mental Masturbation on Hate and Love

This week I have been trying to get past the implications of life’s hurts and just understand pain, not just its purpose but its existence. I am not a pessimist. I am a practical optimist with my hope for the future deeply rooted in pain. Hope is a vague concept but pain is very real because even though… Read More Thank your lucky scars!

My post is directed toward the former kind, the ones who have talked themselves into thinking they are… Read More Solitude v/s Loneliness: Friday Therapy For The Soul #burningupfriday
It took Sky Broadband an entire month to install my internet. However ridiculous that was and however annoyed I felt for not being able to blog at my convenience, I did spend a lot of my time quietly working on my first paper submission. This month taught me how to concentrate and use my most… Read More Dont Argue With Stupid People: Therapy For The Soul #burningupfriday
This whole week I found myself on the edge, really irritated and easy to anger. I worked out pretty hard the entire week but frustration remained until I figured out its cause this evening. There’s too much clutter around me. Turns out, a scattered surrounding can make your brain feel pretty scattered too. Especially for… Read More Unclutter: Friday Therapy For The Soul #burningupfriday
Cake cures depression! Really…give it a try 🙂 Now I don’t support binge eating when you are feeling low, I for one take it out on food instead and will only just nibble on my dinner or lunch for a few days until my head is straight but the moment I see cake, it all… Read More Devil’s Food Cake Therapy For The Soul #burningupfriday
