You Me Naturally

Saturday 26,2020 This pandemic had really got all of us stuck at home but still people where travelling but that didn't apply for my family as they weren't allowing for a trip or anything so we friends decided to go to one day picnic in Ahmedabad itself which indeed turned out to be a half-day picnic but a worthy on. So it was planned with my ex-office colleagues the Ahmedabad University where are used to work before. So it was Me, Riddhi and Keita we three decided to travel with our two-wheelers in this bone-chilling winter morning to Thol Bird Sanctuary which is around 25 km and take 45 mins to reach and well it was worth getting up at 5am in the morning to watch the most beautiful winter sunrise. While were on the way to Thol there were a herd of camels in the farm and the sight was just splendid to my eyes. Thol is an artificial lake in Mehasan District surrounded with different species of birds, cranes etc and people take a brief walk above the lake on the semi constructed...

Love has always been an important part of everyone's life. Well people say it hards to find and keep but what if you find the one and know how to keep. Doesn't that sounds perfectly perfect. There is always a but to it when in a couple there is one such person who loves, cares, gives his/ her best in the relationship than another one. The chances of them getting hurt are most of the time  vast.  Sometimes I believe there is nothing known or termed as too much love but then I feel there may be such things which we feel and express. We term Love like the Love of my life and want them for the rest of our life but this act can be selfish.  Women / Man who love too much is not considering the other person’s feelings and desires. You may feel like you’re showing love, but if you’re being motivated by your own insecurity about the relationship or your own fears about losing this person, then you’re probably more in the smothering camp. Love gives, it prioritizes according to the...

In my past writes I have directed my focus on mental health and how they affect our lives. And one such another mental health-related concern is Overthinking.  Overthinking: the art of creating a problem that wasn't even there just created within us by us.                         Half of our population about the age group of 18 above overthink regarding various issues and this leads to many diseases such as depression, borderline personality disorder, hypertension, and anxiety.  Sometimes overthinking is not so substandard when the thoughts that will have a positive impact but generally they're referred to negative rehashing the past, dwelling the bad experiences and worrying about the future. Thoughts are never a complication, the brain functions and have the ability to work because of the thoughts been activated and simultaneously our brain functions. We, humans, have a tendency to think that our problems and suffer...

Well after a very long time I'm back with writing which was missed so much and there seems so much to talk to you all and share. So much has happened with us in this 2020, hoping for a happy ending and new beginning for 2021.  Changes are hard to accept in the beginning and we find it hard to not cope up with it because we are frustrated souls with non-patient minds. frustration is one most emotional label sometime people take a hard to express. We need love, mental and body satisfaction, peace and happiness. We are searching for joy in other souls which indeed is impractical. We intentionally or unintentionally hurt the people we love because our brain sends signals which hints our action and maim the people we love. Well, there is a dialogue which I came across my social media page: we don't hurt the people we don't love. we always hurt the people who we love because you cannot hurt the person you don't love, and this seems so true owing to the fact that we expect the...

Heartbreak/Grief is an emotion that mentally drains you because losing someone, seeing your loved ones hurt, etc is painful. People say it is hard to fix what is already been broken because broken pieces can't give us the original beauty back which is true. It is not always a lover breaking your heart that's not just the cause of heartbreak. There are different levels of grief which people go through in their everyday life. This has a negative impact on our mental health which leads to depression, anxiety, hypertension, etc.  It also leads to eating issues, sleep-deprived, lack of motivation, self-doubt, weight gain/ loss, and in a general sense a whole nervous breakdown. Men and Women equally get affected by the pain of heartbreak. The only difference is the way they handle the emotions and overcome it.  Why does it hurt so much? Studies have shown that people face heartbreak because our hormones release some glands to our brain where we feel emotional pain as same as physica...

Fears are the reason why we aren't able to conquer our goals and many other desirables ."What will society say", "Will I be accepted if I do this particular work", "What if I'm not able to succeed" and many more thoughts cross our mind before we actually step to achieve our goals. It happens with everyone for once in their life when they actually have to face the trauma of self-growth. I have this kind of emotion every time I try to vanquish my desires. We shouldn't focus on the existing fears and let's imagine the possibilities and set our goal that will have a greater impact on our development.  There are ways that I follow whenever I negative thoughts if  I will be able to attain or not.

Childhood is the most treasured part of life. Everything about childhood is magnificent and mesmerizing. Yesterday morning Me my parents just wanted to go back to those golden days so we thought to gape through my childhood albums. That nostalgic moment could be sensed in the air how my mom started to babber about my infancy as soon as she saw the photos and how my dad started to cherish my cuteness and innocence. Everything about my childhood was magical as I'm the firstborn. It is the most astonishing feeling and emotion to vibe about childhood memories. The only imagination we understood being kids was endless fun. The only state of mind we focused on was to play with safety measures guarded by our elders. Every photo in the album had a story behind it and my parents reminisce each and every minute detail about it. Most of childhood days were spent at my maternal grandparents' home as I was born there in Bangalore. There was one photo of me in some bright dress and I was pos...

How uncertain our lives could be in the current moment. Life truly is a mystery and as random as it seems.  The demise of young individuals has inclined in the imminent years. People seem to have lost the hope of living and don't understand the beauty of it. For the record, suicide is the second leading cause of death. The prime reason for the increasing rate of suicides is "Mental Health Crisis" which I have talked about in my earlier blogs.  We avoid talking about it but we don't understand its as crucial as breathing. Young mankind is suffering from depression and many other health factors. They may be physically healthy but psychologically/ psychiatrically weak. The context to bring in knowledge about the matter and talk about it came with the saddening news of the death of the most passionate actor of our generation Sushant Singh Rajput who said to be was battling with depression for 6 months. It is aching to come across such news in the middle of nowhere. The i...

                               As quoted "The more you read, The more you grow" is quite true to what it states as it is essential to at least spend 30 minutes reading any book of your choice.  People nowadays prefer e-books over print books. As it is an individual's opinion for the same. In the past few years, I have come across people who are more inclined to virtual reading and enjoy it the most. There are very few in my observation were I see people carrying a book rather than a Kindle or an iPad.

There were a total of 69 responses, with the age group of people from 21- 30 years. The questions were as follows: 1. What do they prefer? ( Ebook or Print Book)  The analysis of this question came out to be where 75 ...
