“You are not beautiful” These harsh words have to be endured by almost every girl/woman at some or the time of her life – unfortunately it is the chauvinistic setup of the society we live in.

Sangita! If there was anyone in my life I place after my mother it would be her. Even though she is just a year older to me she always held that place of a woman I could go to for comfort.

In a rare moment of creativity, they might write a secret out on a postcard and send it to a website because they don’t have a single person in real life that they trust enough to share their fears with. They feel all of this on top of the usual human maladies of sickness, death and grief.”

There are times when you need not feel bad – but you still do.
when you regret making the right choice
when you feel envious even when there is nothing to
when you are at the right place at the wrong time

when you should go to roots but reach for top
when you should introspect but you… whatever is the antonym for introspect
when things are clear but you are still confused.
when you have money but still feel poor
