BREATHE / NO. 29 / 19th MARCH 2024

 Take some time off...

1.              Dear readers, this week is going to be a hectic week with all the exams and submissions. So here's a poem that talks about the importance of taking some time off and living in the moment.



 B       Breathe

Take some time off today,

Just breathe a little.

I find you lost-

Somewhere into the secret chamber,

You dwell as a mere stranger.

Curled up in familiarity,

Searching for clarity;

How long will you stay?

Before you get to play.

Have you ever thought?

Of the way you decay and rot-

Into the mundane routine.

Oh, you don’t know how serene,

Is the dazzling feel.

What big deal?

You may think,

For life passes by in a wink.

              - S. Jennifer Sandra

MONKEY BARS/ C.S. LEWIS/ NO.1/ FEBRUARY 20th 2024

  Monkey Bars          Hey readers, its been a while and I hope you all are doing good.  It's wonderful to be back and to pen down the ideas that I usually keep to myself.  A few days ago, while I was randomly exploring the internet, I stumbled upon this incredible quote by C.S. Lewis that reads,           “ Getting over a painful experience is much like crossing monkey bars. You have to let go at some point in order to move forward.”     Although the quote is straightforward and easy to understand, what an analogy it is! We often claim that life is not a bed of roses, but how much do we truly understand the effects these difficult situations have on us? Most of the time, we don't.  When we experience anything unpleasant, we often find it difficult to let go of it. We keep going back to the same experiences to keep them fresh in our memories, whether they are related to relationships, health issues, failures, or setbacks.      We don't always know that the act of repeatedl

 THE MISUNDERSTOOD CONCEPT OF FEMINISM The concept of feminism is misunderstood most of the times. Its a simple ideology and its just that we often fail to understand it perfectly. We always complicate simple things in life. So let's see what feminism actually is.  FEMINISM:                        It is nothing but EQUALITY. Every individual in the society must be considered equal which often is not. Feminism strives to empower women and in doing so it also makes them realize their rights. It is mostly misunderstood that women are trying to overpower men. The point is not that. Be it a male or a female, both the genders are no less than the other.                         The other day I was scrolling through my social media and something caught my eye. That is when I decided to write this blog. I understood that there were different opinions on this concept. It is alright to have different views unless the whole meaning of the concept doesn't change.    A FEW SUBJECTS WHERE MEN

Bestfriend...      Dear readers,  the other day I requested suggestions on what people would like to read in my next blogs in an Instagram story that I uploaded. I'll be writing about the subjects that each person suggested for the next few days. My bestfriend Jelshiya asked me to talk about my bestfriend (basically about her).       We've known each other for five years and have been best friends for three years. In our first year as undergrads, we got to know one another. Our interests were very similar, and there was an instant connection. Being my best friend means that you must be able to relate to me in all of my phases, even when I don't say anything. To me, she is that person. She doesn't really need any explanation from me. She'll know everything about me just looking at my face.      Being friends demands more than just being there when things are going great. Providing support is essential when everything seems to be falling apart. She was the one who wip
