The one you can be yourself with, without the fear of being judged, The one you can travel miles with, even after knowing the roads will be rough.
Not only the one you remember when you are happy, But the one you go to when you are sad, The one that’s ready to love you, even when you are bad.
When the world is full of lies, The one with a truthful and friendly smiles. The one you can trust to never leave your hand, Even if you are miles apart, you know by your side they will forever stand. The one who wipes you tears and console your heart when it’s tired, That person who is ready to be with you without ever being retired.
You know when you messed up All night they will stay up Until your pain goes down, They are all ears for you When you want to pour your secrets From dusk till dawn.
The one who is your comfort and the one who is your peace, The one you can be ugly around and the one that can help you sleep.
The one that you never run from But the one you always run to, They say, ” Home can be a person too” And for me, that person is You.

So today I have brought my 10 all-time favourite lines for you. This is my gift for you. For supporting my blog my work and showering your love upon me. Thank you.
10 All-Time Favourite Lines
“ I can do this…I can start over. I can save my own life and I’m never going to be alone as long as I have stars to wish upon and people to still love.” – Jennifer Elisabeth
“ I want to be magic. I want to touch the heart of the world and make it smile. I want to be a friend of elves and live in a tree. Or under a hill. I want to marry a moonbeam and hear the stars sing. I don’t want to pretend at magic anymore. I want to be magic.” – Charles De Lint
“ Believe something and the Universe is on it’s way to being changed. Because you’ve changed, by believing. Once you’ve changed, other things start to follow.” – Diane Duane
“ Some women choose to follow men, and some women choose to follow their dreams. If you’re wondering which way to go, remember that your career will never wake up and tell you that it doesn’t love you anymore.” – Lady Gaga
“ Not knowing you can’t do something, is sometimes all it takes to do it.” – Ally Carter
“ Don’t worry if people think you’re crazy. You are crazy. You have that kind of intoxicating insanity that lets other people dream outside of the lines and become who they’re destined to be.” – Jennifer Elisabeth
“ Read, read, read. Read everything – trash, classic, good, and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You’ll absorb it. Then write. If it’s good, you’ll find out. If it’s not, throw it out of the window.” – William Faulkner
“ The moment you doubt whether you can fly, you cease forever to be able to do it.” – Peter Pan by J.M.Barrie

Bonus Lines
“ You’ve got this life and while you’ve got it, you’d better kiss like you only have one moment, try to hold someone’s hand like you will never get another chance to, look into people’s eyes like they’re the last you’ll ever see, watch someone sleeping like there’s no time left, jump if you feel like jumping, run if you feel like running, play music in your head where there is none, and eat cake like it’s the only one left in the world!” – C.JoyBell C
“ Believe in your heart. Believe in your heart that you’re meant to live a life full of passion, purpose, magic and miracles. ” – Roy T. Bennett

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 have been reading children books these days, it’s my “back-to-basics” method. Before the age of 12 I never really liked books so I haven’t read many which brought me here, reading stuff I should have read (10 years) before.
I landed over a book called “The Velveteen Rabbit ”
The Velveteen Rabbit is a British children’s book written by Margery Williams and illustrated by William Nicholson. It chronicles the story of a stuffed rabbit’s desire to become real through the love of his owner. The book was first published in 1922.

and I read something I couldn’t keep myself from sharing. So in case, you haven’t read this book or you don’t have time to, I am sharing one of the most beautiful things I came across.
Here it is.
‘Real isn’t how you are made,’ said the Skin Horse. ‘It’s a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real.’
‘Does it hurt?’ asked the Rabbit.
‘Sometimes,’ said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. ‘When you are Real you don’t mind being hurt.’
‘Does it happen all at once, like being wound up,’ he asked, ‘or bit by bit?’
‘It doesn’t happen all at once,’ said the Skin Horse. ‘You become. It takes a long time. That’s why it doesn’t happen often to people who break easily or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don’t matter at all, because once you are Real you can’t be ugly, except to people who don’t understand.
– The Velveteen Rabbit

I’m so in love with this book and I recommend this. So if you have time or you are stressed and need a book to just relax your mind, do try this one.
They say close the door when someone leaves, “ it’s easy”, is that what you believe? How can you close the door, When you hope the person will return? How can you close the door, When you are scared you’ll lose your turn? The door to my heart will never be closed for you my love, There are wall too, the ones I wish you cloud climb above. Maybe I should let go of all the hopes, But my heart will never let me close the doors. Even after years of your departure, The door will still be wide open, As my heart will forever await your arrival. I’m waiting for you, Standing near the door, I hope you will come soon, At least before I’m no more.
Hello everyone, I was just wondering I never posted anything in Hindi. So here’s a poem by me in Hindi.
तस्वीर
बस एक तेरी तस्वीर ही है अब मेरे पास, वरना बचा क्या है? रिश्ता ज़िंदा है आज भी मेरे दिल में, वरना निभाने की वजह क्या है? माना नाराज़ थे हम, पर खफा तुम भी तो थे… मेरी बेरुखी की वजह तुम भी तो थे| “प्यार है तुमसे, लौट आओ”, कहा था हमने “नहीं, चले जाओ”, अलफ़ाज़ तुम्हारे ही तो थे| मेरे दिल में हो तुम, इसलिए इन कविताओं में हो… ये कवितायेँ, ये एहसास, ये प्यार ही तो है वरना बचा क्या है? एक तेरी तस्वीर से इश्क़ निभाने की वरना वजह क्या है?
Giving up is like running away from your problems. People say give up if you can’t get what you want and try something else. But I say never give up.
Don’t listen to your brain because it will always reason with you. It will always make you doubt yourself with tons of “what if”, “but”, “maybe” etc.
Just ask your heart this simple question, “how much this matters to me? ” or you can try “how much do I love this? ”
It can be anything. It can be a person, it can be a hobby you want to pursue as a career, it can be any goal you want to achieve, it can be a dream you want to fulfil, it can literally be anything.
Your heart will give you the true and unbiased answer of what you really want to do. And if your heart says “it matters to me alot” or “I love it so much”. Then my dear friend I request you not to give up.
I won’t lie to you, it will be extremely difficult and there will be times when you will doubt your decision and sometimes you will think that people were right and you’ll consider giving up. And trust me at that time giving up will be the easiest and safest option. But please don’t.
We have one life. We live only once. And everything, every single thing we truly love is worth the hard work, is worth trying.
You will have to deal with millions of “maybe this is not the right time”, “maybe this is not the right place” and “what will people think about me”.
So here’s a friendly reminder, you are the one who is going to decide the right time and the right place. I do believe in God and I believe God always helps the people who help themselves. Write your own story, believe in your aim, in yourself and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
And “people” will say whatever they want to say. Trust me it has nothing to do with you and everything to do with themselves. Everyone has to face critics in their journey. Use them as your motivation. Just remember that after quitting because of “what will people say/think about me” , one day when you will be regretting this whole decision making process and the outcome, those “people” will be nowhere to console you. All you will ever hear them say will be “ you shouldn’t have given up if you loved it so much”.
We are humans, we are hypocrites don’t listen to us. Listen to your inner voice and your heart. We will make you think you are a fool trying to fulfil your dreams but never listen to us. Because all we want is to pull you down to where we are and make you like ourselves, so do yourself a favour and don’t listen to us.
If you are a bird or a fish and you listen to a giraffe or a plant, then just imagine what you’ll end up doing. Or let’s see it this way, if you are birds and are of same breed but u have the ability to fly slightly higher than the others but you listen to them and hence fly at the same level as them. You are clearly doing injustice to yourself.
So I request you, don’t give up . We live once. Let’s spend it doing what makes us happy.
Think about it. Your view, reviews, suggestions and criticisms are most welcomed. Feel free to share it with someone you know needs this right now. Let’s tell each other that not all humans are bad and we can do good things too, we can support and motivate too.
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.
