Hope, finding the benefit of hope.

Voice: Yes, you heard that right? Who are you? Me: (States my name..... )  Voice: that's the name your parents gave you! Me: yikes, okay! A loving kid to my parents and my guardians.  Voice: And? Me: go-to person, loving, annoying,  lazy, and a doting personality to my sibling and family Me: A joyful company to my friends, but I do disappoint them sometimes by being busy.  Voice: Oh!

So... the holiday season is already here, and we are already listing down the things as our "Resolution"... So I have a couple of things to list down as well...... This year's theme was  " Being me, good me, better me, and the best version of myself " This year, I had only one thing in my mind, just be open to opportunities, give your best and just knock down every hurdle...2022 was a roller coaster for me but I really loved every bit of it. I'm sure everyone would agree when I say " life is only beautiful when you see it as beautiful" I just had one core thing in my mind, be humble, be always kind, and be emphatic. And with this in mind I did pretty okay, except few hiccups, I sincerely thank, appreciate all the good moments, and assure the lords that I'll cherish and nourish them, and apologies for all the mistakes or the slightest inconvenience that have been caused by me.  ( needless to say, the picture is me...just happy in my ...

Ajji, 2016, 6 years flew by!  I can't believe you're not here, not in any of our homes, complaining about things, scolding me (for so many reasons), listing a hundred things to eat, then complaining about the taste, filling us with all the family dramas, expecting and stating the saddest things though it's weird, and at the same time telling us to be stronger than ever... You were everything and I realized it after you left me, the Asha I was before and the one I became after you left was in a way puzzling... Even you couldn't have guessed it... I have not felt like you're not there, though I miss your songs and your weird way of saving money for your funeral (yeah she was a weird lady, and damn independent ), and man, you were so emotional, you were so open with me, you have cheered at my success, mocked for my dressing sense, joked about my hatred towards the usual norms, you used to be angry on people, cry with me, and yes you asked me to never forgiv...

When was the last time someone asked “ How are you??!!” And actually, expressed how you were doing instead of “I’m fine”?? When was the last time you picked up your phone and said “ I need to talk”? When’s the last time you reached out to that person and said “ I forgive you, without a prior apology “? When was the last time you regretted your actions and never repeated them? When was the last time you connected with a vulnerable person and said “ I’m here, don’t worry. Everything’s going to be alright “? When was the last time you called your beloved people and said “I miss you“ When was the last time you called your beloved people and said “I hear and understand you“ and meant all the words? When was the last time you received a call from someone and heard “ I remembered you “ When was the last time you said “I’m sorry and accepted the fact that you’ll not be forgiven” When was the last time you cried remembering the dead? When was the last time you cried out of joy? When...

What's equality in society mean?? To have what boys/men have?? Well here is what they have,  They don't cry, no, they must not cry, they are born strong, and they are taught to be. They can't say no to things. They can't be vulnerable, they should not show it, how can they?  They don't get tired, they are growing to be a Superman! They should go out and earn and they should support others in any, at any cost  They can't rest, no they can't take a day off They don't have mental illnesses, heck no, they don't have physical illnesses either. They cannot write big emotional messages to their loved ones, it shows feminism and that is shunned by society. They cannot say they are also abused, society won't believe it, so forget about listening. They can't be moping about emotions, they are not allowed to be emotionally hurt, it's not manly!! They can't ask for help, it's a taboo. They can't choose to stay at home or take ...

What are you,   If you're not helping someone before they ask? If you're not loving someone without expecting it in return? if you're not able to identify someone in need? If you're not able to forgive someone without an apology? If you're not truly sorry? If you're not what you say? If you're not the person with the traits you wish in others? If you're not able to move on gracefully? If you're not appreciating different lives led by people? If you're not living and loving the presence of your beloved ones in life every day? If you're not wishing for better things while loving your current life? If you're not grateful for the love showered by others? If you're not grateful for the time, effort, and energy spent by your loved ones in caring for you? If you're not able to understand the emotions of others and be respectful,  If you're not able to recognize that we are always flawed and can be better by cherishing our...

You must have read  "World mental health day" This year's theme:  Make mental health & well-being for all a global priority. Just a day to create awareness?  Ummm, Let's see. We wish, seek, and desire many. what do we get and how much do we get? In this quick, continuously evolving, virtual world, we go through a lot of emotions in a second. We are always running toward or away from something.  We are aware our life is unique and different and all of us have different purposes, yet we still sometimes want to be like her, him, the entity or the concept that entices us. Are we? Is there something overpowering our awareness?   What does Being healthy and happy mean? Should I have free time in hand? Can a person who never gets out of their home, be happy? If a person decides to be quiet, is that person mentally sick? If you're busy throughout the year(the whole year) that mean you're stressed? You're calling off the meetings and wish to be alon...
