SLAKE AND SATIATE

Both the sexes have it hard, no one's life is easy or no one is free of problems, but the issues that men face are often not discussed or spoken about. The whole idea of "being a man" is vague and ancient. When norms are changing so rapidly for women, we still have the same ideas when it comes to a man. I feel that in this whole act of feminism, the struggle of guys is not being talked about. Men are still expected to do all the work, be the bread earner for the family, run errands, impress women, and not complain about any of it. They are expected not to project their emotions and always conceal them. Toxic masculinity stops them from turning up to a male friend, therapy, or parents for any kind of emotional support. Forcing them to become  "emotional gold diggers" , looking for all the emotional support and intimacy from a woman.They have to deal with rejection throughout their lives. Though safety is majorly considered an issue for women, men too are prone ...

Been jealous of your friends' blooming relationship? I have been there until I realised that you never actually need   a partner because common we are already just good enough chilling out with our friends and working on our goals. Though I can list   thousands of reasons to support my view. Here are just a few of them.  I am not a relationship nazi but relationships are taxing,to cater to someone's emotional or physical needs is tough. Life is already challenging, you don't want to be carrying someone else's baggage. People are unreliable, dishonest, disloyal and the list goes on plus anything may happen to anyone at any point in their life. Why take a risk, when it is not even worth it. A single-life brings you a lot of opportunities to explore yourself. You have more time and a clearer headspace. It gives you freedom,makes you headstrong and independent. I have seen people feeling suffocated due to there "obsessive" partners.Talking about "to...

1. Your crush is probably one of those people who can make you feel the most uncomfortable. He can make your head spin, make you feel weak in your knees, and get you to blush when you don't want to. While your love interest is someone you are the most comfortable around. 2. Even if your crush is a total loser, that won't harm you but an awful lover can stink your life. You can end up placing your crush on a pedestal even though he is an idiot. You would glorify all of his credentials and overlook all his ineptness. 3. A friendly gesture from your crush can leave you awestruck but even though your guy goes miles for you, he can still fail to win you. (the heart wants what it wants). 4. Your love interest seems to be a net flix subscription to you but your crush looks like a membership to the clubhouse. As in the Netflix subscription, you can get easily compared to the inaccessible membership to the clubhouse. 5. Your crush has a very short shelf life, on the other hand, your l...

Wishing all the readers an amazing year ahead. The new year is a time of self-reflection.So here is a page from my diary where I have mentioned five lessons that I learned from 2018.  1. The effectiveness of a joke does not lie in the tongue of the speaker but the ear of the hearer For me, 2018 was full of instances where my jokes were misinterpreted. Though humor is nice jokes can turn out to be ugly if it is beyond the comprehension of the listener.  2. Never let a fool kiss you or a kiss fool you That is a quote by Joey Adams and I can't agree more. (not just a quote but my favorite quote) 3. If going gets tough the tough get going I guess all of us have been through rough and tough times throughout the year. But there have been times equally pleasing. In short, we will surely have a brighter 2019 than its predecessor. 4.Love fearlessly I already have written an  entire post  about it. Truth is we can't expect to be loved if we don't love others with our e...

The last article on my website  Should we fall in love  focused on falling in love more often. This is the continuation in the series and emphasizes on what and how's of loving ourselves. Self-love is important to feel worthy, loved, and happy. So, the five keys to self-love are- 1.Understanding self-love- Loving oneself does not mean being perfect. The basic idea is to accept ourselves and then focus on improvising. Instead of waiting for another person to love you, better love yourself. 2.Away from toxics- Before cultivating habits to inculcate self-love, its important we dump habits that are doing bad to us. In a way, it develops the idea that we are important and nothing shall drag us down. It includes avoiding toxic people, eating less junk, not gossiping, etc. 3.Self-care- Numerous blog posts and youtube videos have been posted in this context. Drinking a cup of warm beverage, soaking in a warm bath, taking care of our skin, journalizing are just a handful of ways to s...

I fell in love a few days back!  Well, it was for lines that I read. It goes like-       "you are a mirror     if you continue to starve yourself of love               you will only meet people    who"ll starve you too      if you soak yourself in love     the universe will hand you those     who"ll love you too."                   - RUPI KAUR . It is so true and the writer has put it so beautifully in words that I have read this a hell lot of times after the first encounter. I thought the idea was worthy enough and could be talked about in a post. Well, it is not easy to fall in love, indeed we even fear to love ourselves. There is this constant fear of heartbreak and the recession that follows. So instead we choose to fall for materialistic things, for example, the car we want to buy, the ring we wear, ...

P arents are treasures.They are amazing people who support us.Even if we don't resonate much with them because of the age gap, we shall always keep them close and adore them.There are tonnes of reason we should do that. Here are the most convincing ones. 1.THEY ARE FAMILY There is something about relationships we are born with !They are probably the least selfish and the most nurturing ones.  It is always important in life to keep a certain set of people close to us,what's better then that finding them right at our homes.These can be the most natural bonding. 2.Success There are researches that actually  claim that here is a link between financial suc cess and ones relationship with their parents.May be this is because of the responsibility  one feel  for their parents. 3.Love,warmth and support Yeah!We are social beings.We all need people who support us.We need people who care for us and for whom we care.This, most certainly is essential for ...
