womanhood.

A woman is a dame,
She's always asked to be adorned,
But from inside,
She's scorned.
She's a father's pride
Her child's abide
Her husband's back
Knowledge's sack

She's more powerful than anyone
She's kinder than anyone
She doesn't need achievement to be won.
Who could be more soft-spoken than her? None.

She thereby is a woman.
Woman, who desires,
Women, who set fires,
Women, who cried for loved ones,
Woman, who is the cause of
Why the world runs...

 ah yes, womanhood, is a topic I always wanted to talk about. When I say woman, you picture a female in mind. She embraces beauty in her own way. She is "beauty" herself. She is the charm that every man needs. Ever since one's beginning, as a mother, then a sister as a companion, a wife as a partner, and a daughter as pride.

don't be shy. you're absolutely fine

do you know the hardest work in one's life? Business? Family? Farming? No. The act of giving birth. Imagine yourself being a hydra, and you reproduce through budding. If you don't know, It is the development of bud that is connected to the parent body itself and later on gets detached. There are many differences though like it is asexual reproduction but that aside, a woman, as a hydra has to hold her bud that is the baby for 9 months. This reminds me to inform you, I just got over the science exam!

Women are things to be-


Did you mark the mistake? Women are not things. A woman is a dame. A few days back, I led short research on an old tradition, sati, a practice of ancient Hindu cult. In sati,  a widow is forced to follow her husband in his afterlife, by setting herself in her husband's pyre. What does this symbolize? This showed how dutiful a wife is. Also shows how women were called "pure" at that time. Sometimes to reduce torture and pain caused while setting themselves on the pyre, they take poison or drugs before dying in the fire. Through God's grace, sati stopped on 4 December 1829. But I have a fun fact!: 158 years later the abolishment of sati, we had the last known sati. 

No, I don't really think this showed how pure women are, nor did Raja Rammohan Roy. But anyway, I recently watched a stand-up by a woman. Of course the women these days are bolder than ever, but the words were delivered so well. "It is said that the cramps during menstrual flow give the equal pain like the pain of heart attack. So next time a guy mocks you for the period cramps or blood flow, ask him if he has seen a man having a heart attack for 4-5 days continuously every single month." And personally, I loved the message. Don't celebrate women, celebrate womanhood. It is beautiful on the inside, not outside, so you might think twice before judging a woman.

Happy women's day 🌸 

human beings: thoughts & decisions.

 

a thread of connection,
it is breaking,
I want to hold it tight but
I'm shaking,
There is a disaster before my eye
And myopia is now a tornado
I blank out, I kneel down and cry

and here I am,
immersed in solitude
I am walking on the path
where no good soul would  
what is left for me in my hand?
a broken thread.
and you enjoy it
until your dark prophecy is read.

I was in a spiritual class yesterday, and I heard a story. It was my teacher, who told me this story, who eventually gave me the idea to write it down. Actually, it isn't a story. It is something that actually happened. So, my sir, a very generous man indeed, had a close friend. The friend was deeply disturbed. He was in depression, and he made wrong decisions. He was planning a su*c*de-- he wanted to end his life, his little daughter, and his wife's. But thanks to the indication of Almighty, he thought to have a talk with sir. Sir consoled him for 3 to 4 hours, like a true friend, and he, fortunately, didn't take up any bad decision. 

First, sir did a huge job and saved lives. Indeed, opened our minds. Secondly, depression and decision. The bad things in life can be anything, for example being poor or failing classes or focusing on problems but the worst is a bad decision. A bad decision can be made in a second. But one good decision takes a lot of time to make. Always, there is a solution to every problem. But a wrong decision can never be a solution. 

Like sir's friend, we all should consult people who can understand us. People, recently have been committing su*c*de for foul causes, like the don't want to give offline exams. From the examination, I would like to say that I won't upload till March 10, and then I will be back on track. My examinations start today. But it's a phase that we need to cross through. This mental situation "depression" leaves us all helpless. Isolating ourselves from others, having bad habits, and having expectations from people lead us to nothing. What if that person didn't reach out sir? That would have been that many lives are lost.

Please have self-confidence, but not overconfidence. We shall believe in God, not be depended, after all, "All the world's a stage, and all men and women are merely players" [William Shakespeare, "All the World's a Stage"]

Till then, 🍵

hypothetical self: the misery.

a voice rushes through my soul, in and out

it gets difficult to breathe, I check everything around where is the lout?

I try to scream out loud
but there, I give off inaudible sound,
and the tears roll through my cheek
and hit the ground,
I am weaker, the energy is profound.

I pull the curtains
as my hands tremble
and my brain,
it begins to crumble
I'm shrinking, on the mattress
I stumble, as I let go of my happiness

a thread of connection,
it is breaking,
I want to hold it tight but
I'm shaking,
There is a disaster before my eye
And myopia is now a tornado
I blank out, I kneel down and cry

and here I am,
immersed in solitude
I am walking on the path
where no good soul would

what is left for me in my hand?
a broken thread.
and you enjoy it
until your dark prophecy is read.


Ah, I'm back after a long break! This is going to be a short one. Is it true that you've imagined a lot of stuff that isn't real? It is common with this generation's teenagers. Okay, 'teenager' is not a bully word. It is a term used to specify the children whose age is 13-19. It has no link with the behavior of the person. Anyways, fantasizing is okay, until you begin living in it. 

Believing in ghosts is not fantasizing but calling yourself one is. Leaving yourself in the imagination like clouds are raining humans and you are invisible is fantasizing. This also leads to anxiety, disorders, and sometimes addiction to fantasizing more often.

My tip? Let's be friends! Talk about reality. If we talk it out, we may be able to solve the problem. 

A little would be creativity, too much, is anxiety. Although this was a short article, it was an idea that flashed to my mind. 

I'll try to write sooner <3

what am I expecting?

from the ceaseless mountain range,
to the shimmering waves of the river
I am running through the meadows of pain, sorrow
without any support
I'm running, expecting a lending hand to borrow.

I, expect myself to be me
a beautiful, charismatic, charming, me
that endures beauty,
pleases the audience
keeps myself fit and fine
I try my best not to have brunch n dine
what I expect from myself is infinite
it is beyond my imagination.

I know I don't chase my passion.
I let it be my expectation

After addiction last time, I would talk about "expectation". Truly, we expect many things from many people. This doesn't only happen to adults, but everyone. A child expects his/her parents to bring him/her toys and gifts. A teenager expects his/her parents to give them some space(which is not true everywhere). An adult expects his/her boss not to put pressure or if so, they expect their families to create less trouble. An old person expects his/her grandkids and kids to spend time with him/her. Expectation is the feeling or belief that something will or should happen.

Now we know we expect at all ages. But did you notice, that we expect from our close ones only? This is because they give us love, enough love that we begin to expect. Internet says "expectation kills happiness" and I strongly believe it. Loving someone without expecting anything is unconditional love. Well we are not going to talk about love. Expectation, according to me, is of two types. The first one is a healthy expectation, which is usually from yourself. The other one, in simple English, is "greediness".

How to get over with expectation? Well that will make each of us a whole different human being, a better, wiser version, though. This brings in the fact of a person take up simplicity, becoming ordinary. This is not my advice, it's just my opinion. Being simple means, reducing the problems we have. I know being in 21st century, no one acknowledges the simplicity but that is a method, according to me that keeps us away from expectations.

"The world turns to a new day, new thoughts and new experiences. But then it ends after a 24 stay, I faze in disappointment. Where did this feeling of sadness or dissatisfaction come from? It came from your expectations, your list that was left incomplete." That concludes how expectations can harm us at any cause. But I can expect myself to be who I am, be a better version of me, rather than become a superstar of a Hollywood film, knowing that the idea is not valid for me. Although, expecting too much gets worse. I think we have a good idea about this expectations.

See you in a while :D
You can sip more tea 🍵

Till then.

stepping into(out of) addiction.

the road to that point of life is untrodden it is miry, dirty, and unreachable the mind is rotten as it keeps doing it over and over till when my impetuous soul gets to be its own controller I'm glad where I'm but my habits keep far as from me on the meadow to the corona of the star

I envy myself for my habits have no limits and I, thereby am productive for a few minutes the desire to fulfill me is getting torn apart it's a feeling when you realize it you prepare for a new start.

Welcome to the world of addiction, satisfaction, internet. Read from a teenager, how blah blah. I'm not going to do the advertisement, I will hop into the fact. When I'm addicted, I'm tired. I'm the first person to know it. The norm of society to let us know about addiction, according to me, is false. Our source of knowledge internet defines addiction as an inability to stop using a substance or engaging in a behavior even though it is causing psychological and physical harm. Well, it doesn't have to be drugs only. It can be anything, even scratching on a surface or binge-watching anime.

Now when I look up into the genius, I-Know-It-All, well I'm talking about Google, I find "Substance abuse" and articles on "How do drugs get you addicted". Here's what I've to say, even if I'm away from drugs I keep craving junk food. I keep scribbling on the pages of my notebook. It's addiction, not a disease. Because I seek addiction as a condition and our society checks it out like a disease. Be truthful to yourself, you know your addiction. Once we are addicted it takes a huge power/labor to get out of this condition.

Here, if you still don't understand. Here is your situation: You are in a void, floating in dark, gloomy air. Surprisingly, gravity doesn't work for you. You think it's your power, as you see very few people down and others floating at different levels. When you look down, you see the wise people only. And the more you do one particular thing, the more you feel being pulled, towards darkness along with many others doing different things again and again. You are being pulled, you feel the energy. That energy, you see, is addiction.

"It is sorrow, as detected by my brain. Even though I am addicted, I can't help myself to get out of this grasp. I get enclosed, and when the weird force is applied, I get hurt" this is what my mate had to say. Addiction takes time to get over with but is easy to catch on to. Truth said addiction is will. Will to repeat, will create a bad habit.

"Addiction is something that makes you fall for it. You find it satisfying, more like love with advantage." this is what my other friend had to say. The problem with addiction is an intricate topic. Now, the most common one is the "mobile phone". Well, we all know it explains itself. As said earlier, addiction is a condition, but it can lead to disease. So, here's how I would end this article. Let's try not to be addicted. Let's come to the ground, avoid the dark, void.

See you in two days :)

You can have tea till then 🍵 ~Anusha Ranasingh

Till then.

Coffee~

 A bit of sugar, milk, and coffee

Many people say,

It is worse than tea

For some people, it's a stress reliever,

Sometimes it is helpful for a conceiver.

'It is dangerous, contains caffeine

Says my mom, since I was nine,

It is bitter, yet tastes good

Coffee has the power to change one's mood.

It comes in different forms, hot or cold

Remember, drinking coffee doesn't make u bold.

Mate, we're the same!

 Meet me in the middle night,

With an open mind,
Set aside differences,
We're the same kind

Let's start something
We can make it together,
U can forget everything
We will do this together!

Mate, we belong to the same world,
Where we all were born
God never discriminated us there,
No, u don't need to change and adorn.

Be the way you are
don't worry,
Our destination is far!!
