"Heartfelt Connections" - A bond I thrived upon

      

            Though I claim myself an Introvert, I am surrounded by Friends and have been named "Chatterbox" in school. It's always a mystery for my parents to realize I am talkative in school. That's when I learned there's a term called "Ambivert". I happily associated myself to it (with little guilt over being shy towards Family/Relatives). 

        I have always relied on friends more than anyone and this holds true till day. I never shared any emotions out loud and managed everything all alone. As a kid, there were not really much worries to hold on to, right? 

        Yet there came a stage when you are bound by Self-doubt, Peer Pressure, Inferiority Complex, Board Exams, Societal Conditioning, Family issues and a lot more to handle. That's when I realized It's too much for me to handle all by myself. 

        Though I wished I had someone to share my burden with, It was extremely difficult to express emotions all of a sudden. Suffocated and wanting an exit, Destiny brought me to Friends who understood me enough to thaw my worries. When I look back, that wasn't such an easy job. I was adamant in shutting myself amidst all the issues. They were patient, understanding and persistent in helping me out. 

        That's when Friendship turned an even beautiful relationship. I would say this never changed henceforth. Life gave me a variety of Friendships amidst many circumstances and People of varying age, but I have always had a special connection with everyone of them and found ourselves succoring each other out - one way or the other.

        To think of my life without Friendship is as dreadful as facing a perilous situation. 

        Friendships have made me learn a huge lot about people and furthermore about myself. I have grown through the years, like everyone, and a bigger chunk of it is because of "My People - My Friends". To look back at the bond we have established is Just Euphoric and Empyrean. It isn't a materialistic achievement, yet doesn't this bring a moment of content to have found deep connections?

        Sure to say, it's a boon to have people to lean on to. It's never about the number of friends, but the connection you hold with them that matters. A soulful connection is all you need and when you have learned what it is to have a friend, there's no going back. 

        Establishing a sense of Friendship amongst all your relationship does the trick and Voila!, you are all set to lead a Happy Life. 

        I haven't mastered it yet, But what's life without Learning...

A Dark-skinned tale

To begin with, Let me Introduce myself. I am a "Dark-skinned Girl" who took in all the sympathetic and snide looks. Isn't this what the society prioritises the most? From prohibiting dark colored attires to comments such as " Karuppa irunthalum Kalaiya Iruka" (Translated : You are beautiful inspite of being Dark), I have faced it all. I know majority of us relate to these traumatic snides and comments as part of our Childhood. There wasn't nearly anyone to guide/support me to make me feel comfortable in my own skin. I always felt as if I am an abomination. I have been one such person who somehow tried to look appealing and felt largely depressed when I couldn't change my Skin-tone. Teenage was horrific with peer-pressure to look attractive and yet all efforts ending up futile. Looking back, Society has given me nothing but Inferiority Complex and Body-shaming comments. Worst of all, I gave-in to every comment and went on to impress the society that gave ...

Fiction — The World I’d Rather Be In

To some, this title might spark instant connection. To others, it might raise a brow. Either way, fiction has shaped my life. Fiction has been a huge part of my journey for as long as I can remember—ever since I started reading. This irreplaceable bond began when I was just seven. Credit goes to my birth twin—an inspiration born eight years ahead of me, sharing the same birthday, birth star, and even parents with the same names (yes, really!). She introduced me to books, and the rest, as they say, is history. As a child, I didn’t care about themes or genres. I simply read whatever I could get my hands on. My love for fiction truly began the day I randomly bought a Tinkle comic from a railway station vendor. I fell in love instantly and wanted more. Unfortunately, English comics weren’t easily available in a small town like mine. The only time I could get a new one was during train journeys—and as a kid from the early 2000s, those journeys became even more magical thanks to those rare T...
