Day 13 Mar. 21, 2025

Respect: Non-Negotiable, Not Optional

There’s a moment - one you don’t see coming - when love and respect collide. Maybe it’s a friend who constantly cancels plans last minute. A sibling who mocks your dreams like it’s their full-time job. A mentor who belittles instead of builds. And you tell yourself, They don’t mean it. They love me. They just don’t know how to show it….

At first, you brush it off. A joke here, an eye roll there. But then, it stacks up. One day, you realize you’re questioning your worth in their presence. And that’s when it hits you - love without respect is just emotional gymnastics.

Respect isn’t optional. It’s not a luxury in a relationship; it’s the foundation. Without it, love turns into an obligation, a debt you keep repaying with pieces of your dignity.

So, how much is too much???? The moment you start excusing consistent disrespect. The second you feel smaller, less valuable, less you because of how they treat you…

Loving someone doesn’t mean tolerating their worst at your expense. It’s okay to set boundaries, to demand better, even from those closest to you. Real love - whether from a friend, family member, or mentor - shouldn’t require you to shrink just to fit inside it!!

So if you’re asking, how much is too much????

You probably already know the answer…

Eggs, Expectations, and Endless Questions—Welcome to 30

Some chase deadlines, some trust fate - either way, the universe ensures things fall into place when they’re truly meant to.

Turning 30 as a woman in India is like stepping onto a pressure cooker - whistling from all directions. Aunties at weddings, your mom’s best friend, even the neighbours suddenly become deeply invested in your marital status. “Beta, when are you getting married?” As if there’s a secret expiry date stamped somewhere on your forehead.

If you’re single at this age, the whispers begin - “Is she too picky?” “Did she have a breakup?” “Maybe she’s too career-focused.”

No matter how accomplished you are, the conversation always circles back to one thing - when are you getting married????

The Great Indian Pressure Cooker…

Indian families function like well-meaning but persistent life coaches. Parents, relatives, and even neighbors suddenly turn into matchmakers.

Society - the invisible, ever-judging panel - believes a woman should be married by 28, have a child by 30, and a second one before she even figures out if she wants the first. Friends start disappearing into their married lives, family WhatsApp groups turn into baby photo galleries, and eery wedding you attend becomes a battlefield of unsolicited advice. “You’re next, beta!” someone chirps, while an aunt subtly reminds you that “girls should settle down before it’s too late.”

What’s too late? That’s where the infamous biological clock enters the conversation. Society paints this dramatic picture—get married soon, or risk complications in childbirth. Science may have given women more options today, but cultural conditioning is hard to shake off!!

Meanwhile, your Gynecologists drop hints, and Google searches about “freezing eggs” suddenly become frequent. The world makes it seem like 30 is a make-or-break year for relationships, as if all the good ones are already taken, and what’s left is just the “last few seats” in a nearly full theater.

The Internal Tug-of-War

Then there’s the personal struggle. On one side, you enjoy your freedom - traveling solo, making career moves, and binge-watching Netflix without judgment. On the other, there’s a quiet longing - a desire for companionship, someone to share the highs and lows with.

The Universe Has a Plan ❤️❤️❤️

Here’s the truth - there’s no right age to get married. Some find love at 25, some at 35, and some choose to walk a different path altogether. No timeline is universal.

Life has a funny way of unfolding. When the time is right, things fall into place effortlessly. Until then, all you can do is live fully - whether that means focusing on your dreams, traveling the world, or simply enjoying Sunday naps without guilt.

So, whether you find “The One” tomorrow or five years later, trust that the universe knows what it’s doing. Meanwhile, sip your coffee, embrace the chaos, and remember - your happiness IS NOT defined by a ticking clock!!

Day 11 March 11, 2025

Another Day, Another Blessing

I wake, I breathe, the world is new,

A gift unseen by far too few.

Not every moment shines so bright,

But even shadows hold the light…

Every morning, my eyes flicker open to the soft glow of the sun slipping through the blinds. Another day. Another chance. It’s easy to take it for granted - the heartbeat in my chest, the air filling my lungs, the simple act of being here. But I don’t. Not anymore…

I used to rush through life, treating mornings like a checklist. Wake up. Work. Repeat. Then today, I realized: what if today was the last normal day I’d ever have? That thought changed everything…

Now, I cherish the small things - the scent of coffee brewing, the birds chirping, the way the morning air feels against my skin, the sound of laughter in the distance. I remind myself that waking up isn’t just routine; it’s a gift. A blank canvas waiting for me to paint something meaningful on it…

I don’t need grand moments to feel alive. Just this - this quiet, beautiful reminder that I get to be here. To love, to laugh, to chase my dreams…

So, when I wake up tomorrow, I will do it again. I will take a deep breath, smile at the rising sun, and whisper a simple truth to myself - I am grateful for today …

Day 10 March 10 (10 PM)

Dancing Through The Storms 💃

Move to release emotions, meditate to restore balance - together, they turn chaos into clarity, helping you ride life’s storms instead of drowning.

I was having one of those days when everything was setting me off… EVERYTHING!!!

The smallest thing - someone texting back late, a loud noise, even my own thoughts - felt like fuel to a raging fire. Actually, I have been like this for the past two days. Angry. Frustrated…

Maybe it was the eve-teasing incident on March 8, still clinging to my nerves. Maybe it was the exhaustion of always giving in relationships and getting scraps in return. Or ,maybe it was just a lethal cocktail of stress, lack of sleep, and hormones running wild. Who knows? All I knew was that I was drowning in it…

Then, this afternoon, I snapped. Tears spilled over, work deadlines blurred into the background, and I could not focus to save my life. I needed an escape.

So, on impulse, I blasted music, and let my body take over. At first, it felt forced - stiff movements, half-hearted sways. But then the rhythm took control. I danced, jumped, threw my fists in the air like I was fighting off every bad thought. Sweat poured. My breath came in gasps. My heart pounded. And somewhere in that chaos, the weight started lifting.

When the music stopped, I finally collapsed, exhausted, but I felt… lighter. Like I had punched my way through the storm. But the job wasn’t done yet…

So, I sat down, closed my eyes, and let the silence take over. Meditation wasn’t about emptying my mind - it was about sitting with what was left after the chaos. Breathing. Centering. Letting the knots in my brain untangle one by one.

That’s the magic of movement and stillness. Exercise isn’t just about getting fit - it’s a pressure valve, a way to channel the storm instead of letting it consume you.

In fact, Science backs it up: endorphins flood your system, cortisol levels drop, and suddenly, the world is not as heavy. Meditation, on the other hand, is the anchor, teaching our mind to ride the waves instead of drowning in them.

So, next time your emotions hijack you, don’t just sit in it. Move. Sweat. Dance. Run. Sing. Punch a pillow. Let it all out. And then, when the dust settles, sit in the quiet and listen.

I am sure, you’ll be surprised at how much clarity comes from the storm…

Day 10 March 10, 2025

When Silence Feels Safer Than Words

A river rests before the tide,

The moon retreats though stars still guide…

Not every pause is lost or wrong,

Some quiet waits to find its song…

Yesterday was heavy on my mind. I thought sleeping on it would help, that I would wake up with more clarity, more energy to deal with everything. But here I am - 8:30 in the morning with a cup of coffee - barely having spoken a word to anyone around me. Not because I’m mad. Not because I don’t care. Just… because I don’t feel like it. I don’t feel anything…

Words just feel… heavy…

Not in a poetic, “let me write a heartfelt speech” kind of way, but in an I don’t want to say anything at all way …Yeah, same.

People preach about “healthy communication” like it’s a magic spell that fixes everything. Talk it out, they say. Use your words, they insist. But what if the words just aren’t there? What if the idea of a conversation feels like dragging a boulder uphill?

Truth is, silence has its place too. Sometimes, you need space to sit with your thoughts, to let emotions settle before you shape them into sentences. Maybe you’re processing, maybe you’re healing, or maybe you just need a break from being “on.”

And that’s okay...

The world won’t end if you don’t respond right away. The people who matter will understand. And when you’re ready - when the silence starts to feel less like a shield and more like a weight And you’ll bounce back. Words will come, conversations will flow, and you’ll reconnect…

So, for now, I’ll sit in the quiet. No rush. Just when it feels right, I shall bounce back…

Day 9 March 9, 2025

From Broken To Brave…

It was another day of feeling completely overwhelmed... The kind of exhaustion that isn’t just in your body but in your mind, your soul. Everything felt heavy - like even breathing took effort. When someone you trust cuts deep, it’s not just pain. It’s like your entire system starts shutting down.

But here’s the thing - the universe never gives you more than you can carry. It’ll push you to the edge, make you think you’ll break - but you won’t. It doesn’t work like that. Pain comes, but so does healing. That’s the real deal !

So, let yourself feel it. Be angry. Be numb. Cry. Whatever. Just don’t let it convince you that this is forever. Breathe. Breathe Again - deep, real breaths. Move, even when you don’t want to. Find a song that reminds you who you are. Meditate…

And when the weight starts to lift - and it will - you’ll see it for what it was. Not the end. Just a chapter. One that hurt like hell, but one you survived. Because no matter how wrecked you feel right now, this too shall pass. It always does…

Day 8 March 8, 2025

Open Roads But Fear Walks Beside…

A river sighs against the stone,

Held back from paths it’s never known.

It yearns to dance, to roam, to run,

Yet fades unseen beneath the sun.

Today, March 8. International Women’s Day. The day when brands have rolled out discounts for “queens,” offices have organized panel discussions, cutting cakes, and social media is filled up with posts about “empowerment.” But somewhere, in a dimly lit street or a crowded bus, a woman is being harassed. I know this because I was one of them, today…

This afternoon, I stepped out to buy medicine for my father. It was a simple task - one I had done countless times before. The pharmacy was not far, just a short walk from my house. But as I walked, I could feel the stares. That slow, invasive gaze that follows you like a shadow. A group of men stood at the corner, laughing a little too loudly. I quickened my pace, eyes fixed ahead.

Then came the whistles. The murmured comments I could not quite catch but understood all too well. My hands clenched around my bag. Do I turn back??? Walk faster??? Say something??? The street was mostly empty. My heart pounded…

I reached the pharmacy and let out a shaky breath. Safe - at least for now. But as I stepped out, the same men were still there. One of them leaned in, smirking. “Where to, beautiful?” The others laughed. My stomach twisted. I wanted to scream, to push back, to demand why they felt entitled to invade my space. But I knew better. I kept walking, ignoring the burning rage inside me.

By the time I got home, the anger had settled into something heavier - exhaustion.

Why should I have to feel this way??? Why, on a day meant to celebrate women, did I feel so powerless??? When will this stop??? When can we finally step outside without fear??? Will that ever happen???

The Invisible Chains of Public Spaces…

India ranks 128th out of 177 countries in the 2023 Women, Peace, and Security Index. And it is not surprising. Step onto any street, and you will see the imbalance - men occupy public spaces effortlessly, while women navigate them like obstacles courses...

How many women do you see simply sitting on a park bench, lost in thought? How many wander aimlessly down a street just for the joy of it???

For most of us, public spaces are not places of leisure but they are points of transit. We move with strict purpose ONLY, with caution, always calculating the safest route, the least crowded lane, the most well-lit stretch. According to studies, only 54% of Indian women can visit markets alone, and just 48% are allowed to travel unaccompanied. Even in workplaces, public spaces are seen as temporary stopovers, not places where we can simply exist.

The issue isn’t just safety - it’s belonging. Public spaces don’t feel safe when women must always be alert, always moving with purpose. The solution? Not curfews, dress codes, or protection, but normalization. Men loiter freely, unnoticed. Why can’t women?

True equality means reclaiming space - sitting, strolling, existing - without fear, without question, without a bad gaze …Isn’t that what freedom really looks like? 🙂🙏🏻

Until then, the streets remain only half open…

Day 7 March 7, 2025

Appreciation Is Great, But How About Some Real Change?

What’s the point of praise if the world still refuses to change?

Apologies if this feels long - honestly, given the circumstances, it’s too short…

Every year, March 8 rolls around, and the world puts on its best feminist face - Social media floods with #Empowerment posts, companies hand out pink cupcakes, and everyone applauds women for “doing it all.” But once the hashtags fade and the cupcakes are gone, what actually changes?

This year’s International Women’s Day theme, “Accelerate Action,” isn’t about waiting for change - it’s about making it happen.

Because let’s be honest - Gender equality has been stuck in slow motion for too long, progress has been crawling at a snail’s pace. We can’t keep having the same conversations about equal pay, safety, and respect decade after decade. It’s time to stop celebrating resilience and start dismantling the systems that force women to be “resilient” in the first place.

The message is clear: no more delays, no more empty promises - just real, urgent action.

Because reality still isn’t pretty. Women across the world deal with workplace discrimination, unpaid labor at home, and the constant fear of violence. In India, patriarchal norms still control how women live, what they wear, where they go, and how much freedom they’re “allowed.” Step out alone at night? Risky. Demand equal pay? “Too aggressive.” Balance a career and home? Expected, yet unappreciated. It’s exhausting.

And safety? That’s still a privilege, not a right. Women live their lives on high alert - texting locations, sharing Uber rides, gripping keys between their fingers. The world may have changed, but for too many, fear is still a daily reality…

This is why accelerating action matters. Real empowerment isn’t about symbolic gestures - it’s about creating a world where women don’t have to fight for basic rights. Imagine a future where women walk freely, without fear. Where their work - inside and outside the home - is recognized and valued. Where young girls grow up knowing they can be anything without barriers holding them back.

That’s what Women’s Day should be about. Not just March 8, but every single day. Less talk, more action. Less celebration, more change. Because until that future is a reality, Women’s Day isn’t just a date - it’s a revolution in motion…

Day 6 March 6, 2025

Unseen Crisis in Fields

Can India’s rice fields thrive while its Sarus cranes vanish, or is nature’s balance slipping away? 🇮🇳

In India, rice is more than just a staple - it is woven into the country’s identity. From steaming plates of biryani to the humble bowl of dal-chawal and Rajma-chawal, it nourishes over a billion people daily.

But beyond feeding households, rice is also a major economic driver. India is the world’s largest rice exporter, shipping millions of tons abroad and adding billions to its GDP. The golden grains fuel both kitchens and commerce, making paddy fields some of the most critical landscapes in the nation.

Yet, these very fields are now echoing an eerie silence. The Sarus crane, India’s tallest flying bird and a long-time companion of the rice farmer, is disappearing. Once a common sight, this majestic bird - known for its lifelong devotion to its mate - is vanishing at an alarming rate. And its decline is not just a loss of beauty; it is a red flag for India’s agricultural future.

In the heart of India’s wetlands, the Sarus crane’s population is dwindling at an alarming rate. At Dhanauri wetland, their numbers plummeted from around 100 in 2019 to just five in 2025. Similarly, in central India’s Bhandara and Gondia districts, the population declined from 38 to 29 over recent years.

The Sarus cranes play a quiet but vital role in rice cultivation. These birds keep fields healthy by feeding on pests and weeds, reducing the need for chemical pesticides. They aerate the soil with their long legs, promoting better water retention and improving crop yields naturally. But their survival is now under siege - unregulated urban expansion, draining of wetlands, and excessive pesticide use are destroying their habitats. Rising temperatures and erratic monsoons, fueled by climate change, are only making matters worse.

But why should we care????

Here’s the stark reality - losing Sarus cranes means disrupting an ancient, self-sustaining cycle of farming. It means relying more on synthetic chemicals, which degrade soil health and, ironically, lead to weaker harvests over time. Climate change is already throwing India’s rice production into uncertainty, with unpredictable droughts and floods. The disappearance of natural allies like the Sarus crane only exacerbates the crisis.

Their presence is a marker of a healthy ecosystem - where biodiversity and sustainable farming coexist.

The urgency to restore this balance is REAL. Every missing Sarus crane signals a deeper environmental crisis - one where unchecked human intervention erodes the fragile link between climate, wildlife, and agriculture. Protecting them means safeguarding our fields, our food, and our future. The question is - will we act before it’s too late?

Day 5 March 5, 2025

The Hidden Dilemma

Love should lift, not clip your wings,

Not bind your joy with silent strings.

If trust is lost, where does love stand?

A cage of gold is still a cage unplanned.

Love is beautiful, intoxicating, all-consuming. But what happens when love starts feeling like a cage??? When the very person who holds your heart also holds the keys to your choices???

While your love could be adoring you, cherishing you, wants what’s best for you, he also wants control. Not in an obvious, oppressive way - no, it’s wrapped in concern, in phrases like, for instance, “I just want to protect you” or “It’s for your own good.” But here’s the thing - what about ones’ own idea of what’s good for me?

Take something as simple as clothes... I wear something I love, something that makes me feel confident, radiant. But then comes the disapproving look, the subtle comment - “Do you really have to wear that?” And suddenly, the joy fades. I hesitate. I change into something “safer.” Not because I want to, but because I don’t want a fight. And in that moment, I feel smaller. Less me.

Love should make you feel more like yourself, not LESS!!!

My dad was protective of my mom, too. But he trusted her. He didn’t clip her wings in the name of love. He knew that freedom and trust go hand in hand. Without trust, possessiveness isn’t love - it’s fear dressed up as love. He knew that love without trust is like holding onto sand - the tighter you grip, the more it slips away…

And let’s talk about the weight this puts on the mind. The slow erosion of individuality. The silent internal battle between love and self-expression. The exhaustion of constantly second-guessing. The feeling of knowing something won’t harm me, yet having to suppress my own desires to keep the peace.

It’s exhausting, right?

To constantly question yourself, to choose between making your partner comfortable or making yourself happy. Over time, that mental strain builds up. It chips away at confidence, at self-worth. It makes you wonder—am I still me?

Love should never come at the cost of individuality. Yes, relationships require compromise, but not sacrifice. When one person’s comfort starts dictating the other’s freedom, that’s not balance - that’s restriction. Wanting freedom doesn’t mean wanting to betray. Wearing what makes me feel good doesn’t mean I don’t respect him. It just means I respect me too.

So where do we draw the line? When does love become restriction? When does protection become possession? And most importantly - if I only get this one life, do I live it by someone else’s rules, or do I take back my freedom, knowing that love should never require losing myself?

Day 4 March 4, 2025

Kolkata

Lost in Translation: Is Love Failing, or Are We Just Speaking Different Languages?

Is love really faded, or have we just let miscommunication build walls where there should have been bridges?

It starts small. “I just need some time.” One hears rejection, the other just wants a breather. “You never listen to me.” One hears criticism, the other is just desperate to be understood. The words are simple, yet the meanings twist somewhere between lips and ears.

Ever had an argument where both of you walked away feeling misunderstood???

You were saying the same thing but somehow ended up on opposite sides of a war. Love IS NOT LOST in grand betrayals; it slips away in these quiet miscommunications - where intentions and interpretations collide…

Maybe you express love in actions, while your partner craves words. Maybe you retreat in silence when hurt, while they chase for resolution. Neither is wrong, but when unspoken expectations clash, even love starts feeling like distance.

For example, one partner says, “You don’t make time for me.” The other, drowning in responsibilities, hears “You’re not good enough.” The defense kicks in, voices rise, and suddenly, love feels like a battleground instead of a refuge.

The solution is to Translate, don’t assume..

Instead of reacting, ask, “What do you mean by that?” Instead of defending, listen. Love doesn’t demand perfection, just understanding.

Maybe love isn’t failing. Maybe we just forgot that speaking is different from being heard. And in the end, isn’t that what we all want - to be truly heard? ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

When Time Flips the Script

When time rewrites the script, love becomes the only language that remains unchanged.

“All the world’s a stage,” wrote William Shakespeare, “and all the men and women merely players.”

Shakespeare was right…

His poem on the seven stages of a man captures life’s inevitable cycle - from infancy to old age. No one prepares us for the moment when the roles reverse. When the man who once carried you on his shoulders now grips your hand for support. When the hands that once built your world begin to tremble.

Once, we were children cradled in our parents’ arms, their steady hands guiding our first steps. Now, as time turns its pages, we find ourselves watching those same hands tremble, veins visible like delicate lines on a fading map…

It’s been some years since Maa left - watching Papa grow quieter, older, lonelier. Noticing he pausing mid-sentence, searching for a word. In the way his footsteps, once brisk and confident, now hesitate at staircases. In the way his fingers, veined and unsteady, reach out for mine when we cross the street - just like I once did when I was a child.

There’s a strange ache in seeing your hero turn fragile. The man who once scolded you for staying out late now calls to ask if you have eaten. The one who never showed weakness now leans on you, not just for balance, but for companionship. The house feels different now - quieter, slower. His laughter, once full and hearty, now comes in short bursts, as if he’s afraid to let it linger too long.

Nostalgia creeps in at the oddest moments. The smell of his old aftershave. His familiar hum of an old song. It hits me then - everything I am, everything I have ever been, is because of him and Maa. Their sacrifices, their lessons, their love, woven into the fabric of who I have become as an individual…

A part of me still wants to be that little kid who believed parents were invincible. But time has other plans. So, I do what I can…

I show up, laugh at his old jokes, I listen to his stories, even the ones I’ve heard a hundred times. I hold his hand a little longer when we walk. Because one day, I know I’ll look back and wish for just one more moment like this…

And somehow, even in his old age, he still gives me strength - through his quiet resilience, his steady presence, the way he still looks out for me in the smallest ways. Maybe that’s what being a parent really is. Even when the roles reverse, they never stop being our anchor ⚓️ ❤️🙏🏻
