And the 2020 ends. It has been an absolutely crazy year. There was pain, sorrow, achievements, celebrations, everything. I have lost a few most trusted, cherished and loved people. I have experienced the worst betrayal I could imagine. But I picked myself up and I am proud of myself. And as the year ends, I am letting go of all the bad memories and keeping the lessons. I am grateful to those who left and those who stayed. This year was totally sick. We actually realized that nothing is impossible and your confidence and your will power is the most strongest weapon you possess. Many of us have lost many battles this year maybe some of us are still dealing with stuff but this new year is bringing hope for all of us. 2020 taught us to live and enjoy in simplicity. And no matter what has happened or what will happen in the upcoming year, I am proud of all of you, there has been ups and downs, the journey has been tough and experience-giving but we survived it and I hope we all are proud of ourselves as well as each other. I hope and wish the best for each and every one of you. May this year brings positive energies into your lives. All the best everyone and may the fireflies follow you where butterflies won’t. Happy New Year.
Hey, you all already understood what we are going to talk about today. I feel being a girl myself it’s my moral responsibility to tell people the difference between Feminism and Fake Feminism. I have wanted to write about it for so long and now I’m finally doing it.
Feminism started when the World began to understand the need for Gender Equality. So as far as I know, Feminism is all about social, cultural, economical, educational, political and personal equality of women. Which, in simple words mean that women can live and work wherever she wants, dress up however she desires, eat whatever she craves, choose any occupation she dreams of, study whatever subject she likes, etc.
It’s basic, right?
That’s how we (the society) define equality.
If men can wear white jeans, a green shirt, a maroon belt, baby pink hat, eat a cheeseburger, study zoology and earn 25,000 per day then women can do it too.
Now, what’s Fake Feminism?
Well, I would define it as accessing your rights but disrespecting the right of others.
Example: Wearing a neon pink shirt yourself and judging if a guy does the same, saying “ We are girls we can wear that, you are a guy you can’t.”
Excuse me? Really?
Being a girl I strongly discourage such behaviour. Feminism was for “ equality ” if you don’t want to hear what you can and can not do then you have no right to tell someone else the same.
Another example: If a guy opens up it’s not okay because he is a guy and if a girl opens up then it’s okay because she is a girl. And if a guy opposes this then they say “ Oh shut up, you don’t know what we go through we bleed every month, we carry a baby for nine months ” etc. And then you’ll go posting things about feminism.
See, I respect that, okay, but we girls suffer all this doesn’t mean that boys don’t have problems to deal with or they have no right to open up. I’m not an Anti-feminist or a Pro-male-ist. What I’m trying to say is Feminism gives you equality, not the supreme power to oppress others or disrespect their rights.
Being Feminist is not a bad thing, helping women achieve their dreams or gain self-respect, self-confidence is a commendable act. But if you support a girl to be a soldier, fighter pilot, architect etc then support a guy who wants to be a fashion designer, makeup artist and painter too. Equality is what matters, that’s where this started from.
Please recognise the difference and kindly stop doing this, because it hurts me to watch that we are misusing the thing made for our benefit by using it against someone else.
Humanity is above all. Equality is above all. People supporting and being empathetic to each other is above all. And if you don’t get it, then I have nothing to say to you.
If you think I’m wrong then, please correct me. Your views, reviews and suggestions are most welcomed.
I was into my routine “late-night-overthinking” when I realized that sometimes I don’t understand why “Racism” is even a thing?
I mean it’s like saying white flowers are beautiful because they are white and purple or blue ones are ugly because they are purple or blue.
At the end of the day, they all are flowers. They all are beautiful. Imagine if the World had only white or yellow flowers… Now imagine the world with only red or purple or blue flowers…? There will be no variety in gardens and bouquets, everything will look the same.
Let’s look at it in this way.
When we make a painting, we colour it the way we want to, we use the colours we think will look good on the object and we go deep down into our creativity and imagination to come up with what we desire for. And when we are done, we don’t care what others think, we love our painting because it is ours it is purely our creativity.
Now, think of us (the people in the world) as paintings and think of God as an artist. He painted us this way, he painted the flowers this way because he wanted to. It’s his creativity and he loves us he is proud of us for the way we are. In the same way, we would have been of something we created.
Purple and white flowers look more beautiful together than separately, whether in the Garden (normal life, local places and society) or in the Bouquet (high ranking jobs, prestigious sectors and in the decision making bodies). Understand that. Because we won’t like the future generations to think we were stupid to not understand such simple things, because the world will always be a colourful place, whether you like it or not because the Creator likes it this way.
I would love to know your views, reviews and suggestions on the topic and my blog too. Feel free to comment below.
Hey everybody, I know I haven’t posted in a while but there is something I want to talk about. Let’s think about the question in the heading. What makes your country really happy?
Country is made by it’s people and we are the people, so tell me, do we like hate speeches? Do we like discrimination? Do we like racism, casteism and sexism? Do we like how people spread hate messages about a particular religion? Do we like the conflict between religions? Do we like civil wars and mass murders and mob lynchings?
I don’t know about you but I don’t like any of this. I’m an Indian, and I’m proud of my religion, I’m proud of my country and I love my culture. And I’m hundred percent sure that each and every one of you feel the same way.
We are a secular nation and growing up I have always read about how we Indians, despite being of different religions and castes, have lived together with harmony and brotherhood for centuries.
The thing is, I received a post today in which there was a Mughal Painting depicting how the Mughal ruler Aurangzeb had demolished the ” Krishan janmabhoomi ” Temple in Mathura.
Here are few pictures of the post and the comments below. Just read them and tell me how you feel about it.

So how do you feel now? Now please tell me was this a kind of message to be spead among today’s youth? Such infuriating forwards release Epinephrine (C9H13NO3) also known as Adrenaline in the body. This chemical makes us feel angry or we can say “boil our blood”.
And we all know what impact these things can leave on the mind of others. I’m so heartbroken to see that educated people forward such posts and do not report it.
On the 2nd page of this blog I’m sharing few links, please go there and have a look at few stories that show the secularism, brotherhood and harmony in our country. I really appreciate those web pages to write such stories.
I’m not defending Aurangzeb or any other ruler. But the fact is, in history every ruler that came to India build multiple religious worship places according to his religious beliefs as they never knew they were going to be defeated by some other ruler and will have to leave the place. Even as I have read on a website even the hindi rulers of Vijayanagara empire have demolished the mosques. So what should we do now? Go and destroy everything? The world will be a blind place if we go by the rule of “an eye for an eye”.
We can’t change the past, and I understand the past wasn’t so good, but tell me, is it right to let go of whatsoever good things we have right now? Is it right to fight your Muslim friends because many centuries a go some stupid ruler demolished a temple? Or is it right to fight with your Hindu friends because of the same reason?
Please I request you all, I understand that making people fall for negative things is much easier than making them aware of the positive side, but please don’t spread such things please don’t spread hate.
Humanity is the biggest religion. Please don’t forget the “sharing is caring” and “a friend in need is a friend indeed” lessons we learnt as children.
Humanity, secularism, brotherhood, peace, and love makes our country happy. Moral values make our country happy. Togetherness makes our country happy.
Please let me know what you think about it in the comments below. Your view, reviews, suggestions etc are most welcomed.
I hope you people understand what I’m trying to say.
