The world has changed, you have to accept it

Last weekend, after an intense work week, I met an old friend for drinks at one of my favourite places where the food is crappy as jail but the vibe is as relaxing as it gets. We indulged in the usual banter, some work talk, some life talk and then we went on to discuss

It all starts with a kiss

This is the season of mistletoe kiss, one of the most romantic times of the year when you forget the stress and focus on romance. As a woman who lives in a big city and comes from a small town, Netflix virtually promises that I should be meeting cute guys throughout the month of December.

Institution of Marriage is Dead Already, Let It Rest in Peace

We need to get married, it’s required, it’s unavoidable and it’s expected once you cross 25. I was raised to believe it, it’s what my parents wanted, it’s what society expected, failure to do so would be calling upon the wrath of all those aunties and uncles who have lived their entire lives “trying to

Can you really know someone perfectly?

One day, sitting across the dining table that you shared with someone for 20 years, eating the same pancakes that you make every sunday, you start wondering, “do I really know this person?” The thought comes to your mind because last night your partner came late and directly went to sleep without discussing how the

It’s really very easy to forget someone, trust me!

We all are filling voids in someone’s story of life. You could be someone’s best friend, soulmate or love of life, until someone else better than you comes along to fill that void. Then you just become an ex, someone to remember for a while and then forgotten as time passes. Everyone in the world

Are you affected by watching other people indulge in PDA?

It’s Saturday morning and instead of working from my office, I decided to change the venue and work from a coffee shop. I picked a really nice quiet coffee place which I know for a fact plays really soft music and is never crowded, unlike Starbucks. So, here I’m, enjoying my strawberry iced tea with

How To Make Someone Attracted To You?

Today when I opened my inbox, this was the top email lying in the pool of all the 100 odd unread emails. The subject of the email read, “How to Attract a Man or a Woman Not Interested in You”. My first thought was this is some voodoo or black magic spam email but boy

Living amidst the pool of double standard hypocrites

It’s the 21st century and women are still not treated equally as men. Key reason – double standards of men and their arrogance to accept that women can also have “their” type of fun. In the United States, the 19th Amendment to the Constitution was eventually approved on August 18, 1920, enfranchising all American women

Why don’t we talk about abortion the way you would talk about any other medical procedure?

There is an app that can help you track your periods. It’s really useful when you need to make travel plans or when you end up having unprotected sex so that it can give an alert when you are late. Imagine you are sitting in a board meeting, trying to figure out what you will

Can I Get A Break From Being a Strong and Independent Woman?

I’m extremely entrepreneurial. I’m a business-minded, ambitious and successful woman. From the outside, it would look like I have everything, I have money, I have a house, a car, good friends and good looks! I’m supposed to be the poster woman of the modern feminist world and I’m not allowed to break. For a very
