Last year, when a rape case shook the whole country, I remember having a conversation with two of my colleagues/friends about the same topic.

Fertile or Not; I am a Woman! #InfertilityNotATaboo
The day I got married, everybody started “baby talks,” and it was extremely annoying to me for a number of reasons: I am not a baby producing machine. I am a human who has just entered a new phase of her life. If I would ever be pregnant is nobody’s business but mine. Not every girl…
A Pessimist Wonders… #FridayReflections
Do you sometimes get a nagging feeling that if you could change this one thing about yourself, you would be far more content with your life than you are at present?

Why do we feel the need of discussing menstruation in a hushed tone? What is so strange about this natural phenomenon? Why do most of us wait for male…
Love Me or Hate Me, This is the Real Me! #FridayReflections

Well, we…

Love Thy Neighbor, But First Love Yourself <3 #FridayReflections
Most of us go out of our ways to enjoy the company of others or to impress others by showing how awesome we are; however, very few of us put even 10% of the effort to enjoy our own company. We tend to enjoy the bliss of being by ourselves and then begin feeling lonely….
7 Signs of Real Growth as a Human | Day 7 WTFOW #5
Are we really growing or just growing old? This is one question that continues to judge my whole existence mostly at my birthdays. I love hanging out with old people because of the light of wisdom that they shed. When they talk about what they learned in their life, I feel enlightened. However, this is…
