How is it so easy to inflict insecurity Even in the toughest of minds with foundations of intellect And barriers so high no commoner can impeach It’s still easy to implant insecurity. Post years of perseverance after confidence And endless nights of racing against time for excellence After unseen fulfilment found in what the world... Continue Reading →
Breaking down heartbreaks
A lot of heartbreaks account to one thing if the whole experience is broken down – mental projections of the person who apparently broke our heart. Most times, objective understanding of a situation reveals that the person in question was never deserving of the pedestal we placed them upon. Neither did they equivocally ask for...

The omnipresent alter ego
I wonder how many of us have a whole other world created within our minds that we resort to whenever our realties become not as favourable as we’d like. I often read social media posts about how a lot of people hoard their minds with fictional characters that are perfect in their worlds within the... Continue Reading →
The insignificant mind controllers
At 25, a whole new set of dynamics of life begin unfolding and it is a consistent struggle to keep up with the world – at least for me. For someone mesmerized by and very conscious of human psyche and behaviour, it is a much bigger challenge to be keeping oneself convinced that things have... Continue Reading →
Comparing social media to drugs – how precise is it?
We’ve heard it enough that social media is a drug that has taken down more lives – not necessarily physically – than the actual drug problem.

Especially in relationships, most fights occur when one person invests and the other withdraws consistently, without mutual benefit. But honestly, such matters are not given enough emphasis as they hold the potential to completely break a person down. We tend to think... Continue Reading →
The most accessible therapist
“Let me in, without a shout Let me in, I have a doubt There are more, many more Many many many more Like me” These are lines from a song I have heard a lot. I go back to this song every time I feel low, and the way it hits is practically emotional fulfilment.... Continue Reading →
The most ‘uncool’ thing mistaken to be cool
There are a lot of millennials and teenagers I come across on social media who tend to put up a rather impressive profile, thanks to high quality photos accompanied by sophisticated captions. Sure, it’s a good thing and we are all impressed by them, until it gets way too pretentious to put up with. A... Continue Reading →
The most valuable gift for mental health
We’re all born with talents that most of us explore, and sadly some don’t. Of the many talents that an individual can be blessed with, I believe that the ability to write well is one of the best gifts ever. Maybe this assumption does have an angle of prejudice because writing is the area I... Continue Reading →
