LIVE IN THE MOMENT

-
    When as a kid I heard the story of Peter Pan, I always thought how stupid he is, to never want to grow up. At that time growing up for me only meant having freedom. Freedom ? Having  freedom just meant having control of my life. I wanted to control everything in my life, I thought if I could make the decisions of my life then everything will be ok and I will always be happy. I always told my mother that wait for me to grow up and I will turn my world around. But little did I know that the world I had before was better, carefree and easy. 
  Eventually I grew up and one day to my surprise all I wanted to do was go back and scold my old self for not appreciating my childhood. Back then my only and biggest problem was to wake up early in the morning and not be late to school. And now sleep is a rare stoppage for me and the life I have now makes it harder to sleep at night. And I know that after some time I am going to miss what I have right now, still I never learn to appreciate the present. Its funny and ironical, time knows how to make me feel this way and now I know how all this happens over and over again but still time keeps winning and I don't get the time to change my plan.
   I've grown up and I have the control over the things I wanted as a kid but now all that doesn't matter and again what matter's is not in my hands.
   This will happen, every time I will want some other candy from the store, some other pair of shoes or some other kind of life and every time something won't be in my hands.
  So, why waste what I have ? Why not just learn how to appreciate the present instead of craving for the past or the future or to wait for time to do the magic.
  Lets create the magic ourselves, lets make life better with what we have and walk hand in hand with time

Women Empowerment and The Society

-
A woman has always been portrayed as a damsel in distress in almost all the Contexts in Indian cinema. It is only recently that women started playing roles in movies which were self empowered and did not need a man to get validated. Where does it end ?    This is a question people need to ask themselves when it comes to Indian women. Our society views the journey of a woman with the destination of marriage, no matter how much success she might have achieved. India got it's first female educator in 1848 AD, Savitribai Phule. Then years after that the Indian nation accepted the leadership of a female Prime Minister, then with Kalpana Chawala becoming the first female astronaut of India and Pratibha Patil as the first female President of the country, many norms were broken . Ever since then many women have made a place for them in this Patriarchal society. But we also need to remember that these are just a few women who have had a difficult journey to finally reach a place where

Those days.

 I sometimes find myself wanting to go back to the simpler times. Where Information was not one click away and people were not judged from what they added to their social media platforms, Where texting with a limited number of texts allowed had a different feeling, calls were too important to be ignored and music on the radio was all I needed. Today, I feel like Instagram is our open profile, Facebook gives out reminders of Birthdays, snapchat is the camera to our life, WhatsApp is the new and improved version of texting and there are many other things that have become a crucial part of our day to day living.  Yet somehow, the real personalities of people stay hidden.  I would really like to know how many people believe that social media is the actual reflection into someone's life ?  To get to know a person, it is essential to have a conversation. Well, atleast for me it is. I, myself enjoy social media every now and then but the encroachment of the pretend appearances into t

STRUGGLE WITH LOSS OF MEMORY

-
Imagine not knowing who you are. Not being able to recollect and recognize your own life.  If a person starts to question his own Identity and is unable to answer the basic questions that forms the basis of who he is, not knowing his name, where he comes from and not knowing the people in his family, that in itself it a scary situation. Dementia is a symptom that decreases the cognitive function of the brain and interferes with the daily routine of a person. But again it is a symptom, which might be due to many diseases. The most known disease which leads to dementia is Alzheimer’s disease. It contributes to 60-80% cases of dementia. In India, forgetfulness is deemed as a part of aging and it is true to some extent. Old age comes with a general decrease in overall heath and not just loss of memory. This becomes a reason for delayed diagnosis of a disease like Alzheimer’s. There is no cure for such a disease so far but early diagnosis can be very helpful in the management of
