Life of teens…..in a glance..!

Social life is an important part of teen’s schedule and a much needed one. It is a way of teen to develop friendship, reduce stress and work on their identity and self esteem. They tend to involve themselves into the latest fashion and trend that make them hot and happening. Though all those things give a shock to the parents, the music they choose gives a crack in the ceiling and deafen ones ears. I watched a movie some time back which was based on teen’s love and friendship, in that movie it showed the main protagonist fall in love with a girl junior to him and who has just arrived from a foreign country, she is also by chance is the daughter of her mother’s best friend. The movie deals with the way the guy handles his friend when they come to know that he is in love and the way he fights with her girlfriend when she talks to his batch mate whom he doesn’t like. It also shows that how the girl is taught by her friend to handle boys and to be fashionable. Overall the movie gave a glimpse of the teens life of how they keep there room in a mess, how they want to boast in front of their friends and batch mates of been cool and best. Also how they deal love and friendship in their life, the crushes and infatuation being a part of their life. My personal experience with the teen says that they venture themselves into things that are new for them and wants to do experiments with the life which the elder people are scared of. My niece is a teenager, I always she her involved in surfing net, she claims that she is working on some or the other projects of her school and gaining knowledge out of it, may be she does it and may be not, her mother is always after her for not helping in the house chores and other stuff. She is a typical example of the teenage the way they carry themselves at this past of life all they care is about their school, their friends, (laptop and mobile) and nothing else. But still they have maturity enough to worry about their studies and career; it is felt by me that where out thinking power stops there starts so teenage is the best phase of life to enjoy and the worst to be parent of them.

Cutting people off isn’t strength—It is a trauma response

Your ability to cut people off and self-isolate is not a skill you should be proud of—It is a trauma response Cutting people off and self-isolating may feel like a protective shield, but it is often rooted in unresolved or unhealed trauma and an inability to depend on others. While these behaviors seem like self-preservation, they end up reinforcing isolation and blocking meaningful connections. Confronting these patterns, seeking therapy, and nurturing supportive relationships can help break this unhealthy cycle. Plus, a simple act like planting a jasmine plant can symbolise the start of your journey towards emotional healing. Why do we cut people off and isolate? If you’re someone who prides themselves on “cutting people off” or keeping a tight circle, you might believe it’s a skill—a way to protect yourself from betrayal, hurt, or unnecessary drama. I get it. I’ve been there, too. But here’s the thing: this ability to isolate yourself is not as empowering as it may seem. In fact, i...

Sex without intimacy: A Spill the Tea story about modern loneliness

Tara meets someone through a matrimony broker. They quickly decide marriage isn’t on the table, but spend a night together anyway. What follows isn’t regret or drama, but an unsettling emptiness. Over tea and samosas, she tries to understand why physical closeness left her feeling more alone than before. Spill the Tea: When Closeness leaves You Feeling Further away The tea was too sweet. Tara noticed it immediately but didn’t say anything. She sat on the verandah chair, one foot tucked under the other, the plastic creaking every time she shifted. She wore a black cotton top with sleeves pushed to her elbows and denim shorts that left her knees bare to the evening air. She didn’t look uncomfortable. Just slightly unfinished, as if she’d left in a hurry. Between us, a steel plate held two samosas, already cooling. The chutney had begun to darken at the edges. She broke a corner of the samosa. The crust flaked onto her plate. She dipped it into the chutney, carefully. “You know,” she said...

Does India need communal parties?

I think, it was Tan's post on this blog itself, Republic Day Event, where this question was raised. My answer. YES. we need communal parties even in Independent, Secular India. Now let me take you, back to events before 1947. When India was a colony of the British Empire. The congress party, in its attempt to gain momentum for the independence movement, heavily used Hinduism, an example of which is the famous Ganesh Utsav held in Mumbai every year. Who complains? No one. But at that time, due to various policies of the congress, Muslims started feeling alienated. Jinnah, in these times, got stubborn over the need of Pakistan and he did find a lot of supporters. Congress, up till late 1940's never got bothered by it. And why should we? Who complains? No one. But there were repercussions. The way people were butchered and slaughtered during that brief time when India got partitioned, was even worse than a civil war scenario. All in the name of religion. And there indeed was cr...
