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 the real lives has gotten to such an extent that it scares me.
Don't get me wrong, this is not a take on technology being a part of our lives but is just a way of saying how much Importance should it have at the end of the day.
In the times when we find ourselves judging others based on what pictures they uploaded, we should also know that this is not who they really are but just what they want the world to see themselves as.
Everyone should know that the person behind that picture, who has flaws and Insecurities is much more precious than the number of likes on a picture.
I will always trade getting to know a person than liking a picture on instagram or maintaining a streak on snapchat anyday.

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

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.

There is no cure for such a disease so far but early diagnosis can be very helpful in the management of
