My Tale of Warmth and Solace

 First of all, I express my subtle apology to have absconded for a few months. Though it wasn't my intention, Life had other plans.


I have been wanting to begin writing again for quite some time, but Inspirations are not that generous. 

December began, and that's when I realized I haven't shared about my Comfort space yet..

This may look completely random , but it's my time to share my love for Christmas Rom-Com movies.

As I have already mentioned, I was not exposed to English movies in my Schooling period. When I began watching English movies in College, they were all about the Most Famous Movies/Dramas. I didn't really have the choice to explore various genres. Then came COVID, and the boom of OTT platforms which made me surf through Random Movies. 

That's when I started watching Rom-Coms based on Christmas and that brought instant Comfort over me. I, simply started watching any movie based on Christmas and to my surprise , Loved all the movies.

Let me get one thing straight, there was nothing so special in the movies and most likely even the stories remained the same. But still I kept watching and rewatching them.

That's When I introspected Why I loved these movies in particular and yet again, it's linked to my Fantasies and Imagination.

Amidst the same kind of stories and stuff, there is yet another similarity in these movies - SNOW.     Yes, you read it right. It is the snow covered city/village and the decorations in that place that attracted me. It is not just about aesthetics, This is about the Cold winters, people celebrating amidst these conditions, their sense of enjoying together, the Idea of Vacation to the Entire Community and the warmth associated with it. 

"Warmth is truly appreciated only in adverse Conditions"

    A lot of things in the movie may be far away from Reality , But I find a soothing solace , that the reality fails to offer. This, over and over, goes back to my love for Fictional World and My Escape Mechanism, which I wouldn't trade for anything. 

One of the Top items in my bucket list would be to visit Frosty places during Christmas and embrace their celebrations just the same. The Reality may/may not be the same as My Fiction, but I am completely ready to be Disenchanted (after visiting, of course). 

Christmas Movies are my Guilty-Pleasure and I am not ready to walk out of this emotion, yet. 

Let me Hold on to this Fictional Reality, for the time being!


Let's talk! Let's Break !

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...

"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.            ...
