Your 20s

 Staying with your family hits differently. Staying with friends feels different. But staying alone doesn’t just feel, it pinches . Time moves fast in your 20s, but it never leaves you untouched. Every phase leaves a mark. Sometimes it teaches you gently. Sometimes it teaches you by breaking you a little. You have a family, yet there are thoughts you never share. Not because you don’t trust them, but because this age works like that. You are confused. You are figuring things out. Half the time, you don’t even know what’s happening in your own life,so how do you explain it to someone else? Overthinking becomes your daily habit. And it’s not just thinking. It’s deep thinking. Assumptions built on fear. Decisions made on those assumptions. And then comes the moment when all of this starts hurting. Not loudly. Quietly. You don’t know your future. No one really does. The only thing you can do is assume, prepare, and hope that when the time comes, you’ll be strong enough. You ...

It’s Just Another Day…

Let’s be real for a second. Birthdays as a kid? A full-blown festival . You didn’t even have to remind people, the hype was automatic. Your friends knew. Your teacher knew. Even your neighbor’s dog probably knew. “7 days to go!” “3 more sleeps!” “Guess what? It’s my birthday week!” But somewhere along the line, that magic quietly slipped away.

Too Late to Notice

As Kids, We Had It All... Or So We Thought Remember those childhood vacations? The ones where you were filled with excitement, a list of things you had to buy: a new toy, candy, souvenirs, maybe even a cool T-shirt with the name of the place printed on it? You'd point at something, and within minutes  poof!,  it was yours. Your parents never said no. But there’s something we all missed back then. Something we were too innocent to notice... They never bought anything for themselves. No bags, no clothes, not even a pair of sunglasses. Just endless rounds of "window shopping" and saying, “Kuch khaas nahi hai,” or “Pasand nahi aaya.” As a kid, I believed them. Today, I know better. When Adulthood Hits You Like a Ton of Emotions Growing up, I always thought adulthood was about freedom earning your own money, living life on your own terms, no rules, no restrictions. The dream life, right? But then something shifts. The day you walk past a shop and think twice befor...

Different IPL. Different Us.

Something’s missing this IPL season. It’s not the teams, not the thrill, not even the sixes or super overs. It’s the feeling. The magic that used to make IPL feel like the biggest celebration of the year? It’s just… not hitting the same anymore. 📚 Back Then: When IPL Was Everything There was a time when IPL wasn’t just a cricket tournament — it was the highlight of our day , our group chats before group chats existed . No job pressure, no adulting. Just us, our gang of friends, and the next big match. Sure, we had stress — but it was the cute kind. Like, “Will I pass my maths exam?” not “Will I ever find job satisfaction?” And oh boy, the school days during IPL were wild! Every morning started with a debate: “RCB will bounce back, bro, mark my words.” “CSK is finished. Dhoni can’t carry the team alone!” “Don’t come to school if MI loses tonight!” We didn’t just watch IPL — we lived it. 🎮 Hand Cricket, Sony MAX & Secret Matches in Class Remember Hand Cricket...

Masked Truth....

Have you ever met someone who seemed like a true friend, only to later realize they were wearing a mask? Some people appear to be different on the outside, but deep inside, they are not what they express. They enter your life, pretend to be your closest friend, and make you feel like you are the only one they trust. But the truth? You are just one of many. They share only what they want to, revealing just enough to keep the illusion alive. I, too, have encountered such people in my life.  The sad part?  I never tried to see their real faces until it was too late. I opened up, shared almost everything with them, believing in a bond that never truly existed. And in return? Regret. Disappointment. A realization that they were never who they pretended to be. The Harsh Reality of Trust in a Competitive World In today’s world, where competition is fierce, finding a genuine friend is rare. Most people are too focused on their own success, their own hustle, their own climb to the t...

One Day…

One Day… But When? There was a time when I couldn’t wait to grow up. Just like every other child, I believed that life would be amazing once I became an adult. No restrictions, no school, just freedom! But now, standing at this crossroads of life, I realize that growing up is not as magical as I once imagined. The hardest part? Leaving my hometown, my parents, and the comfort of home to pursue my dreams in college. Some days are manageable, but some nights…  some nights feel endless Those moments when I lie in bed, staring at the ceiling, wishing my mom was there to gently run her fingers through my hair and whisper, "Beta, relax ho jao" The Unseen Battles of Growing Up As we grow, we meet different kinds of people—some who genuinely support us and others who only pretend to. The harsh truth? People change their colors faster than a chameleon. And amidst all the noise, all we truly crave is a shoulder to lean on, a lap to rest our tired heads, or even someone who just underst...

I have friends, but still I .....

I have friends, but still I ..... Sometimes, it feels like you've spent most of your college life—three out of four years—yet you still don't have anyone truly close to you. This feeling hurts, but what could be the reason? I guess I’ve spent most of my college years exploring myself and doing what I truly want. People often say, "You’re having a great life; everyone knows you." But what does that really mean? Does it mean taking on more workload, managing events, and constantly organizing things? In reality, "I have friends, but still I ....." What about my classmates? My so-called friends? The ones who seem perfectly fine without me in their circle—until they need something. Suddenly, when there’s work to be done, they remember me and act as if I’ve always been part of their group. But is that what friendship truly means? Friendship isn’t just about remembering someone when it’s convenient. Sometimes, a simple "hi" or a casual conversation a...
