They tell me that they like me, that they approve of me, but do they really? Maybe they do......maybe they don’t. Does that stop life? NO. So why care? Sometimes it gets me thinking. Do I really want their approval? But then I realize......who am I kidding? Of course, I do. I thrive for their approval, I seek it every time I am doing something. Because at the end of the day they are a part of my life, they are what I am surrounded with.                                      Who are they? You ask. They are family, friends, relatives, teachers, colleagues, even acquaintances. They are many of the millions. I am many of the millions and they are a part of my life. We are always taught to be confident under our own skin, to be confident in what we do. They teach us to be kind. They tell us that on...

Fashion is a major part of the lifestyle we lead and being fashionable is the choice we make. Every buying decision, every piece of clothing in our wardrobe is a choice but, who is to say that we have made the right decision? There is so much going on in the fashion industry that many of us are not aware of. Fast Fashion is one of those things. Rapidly-changing fashion trends and the consumer’s desire of having each and every popular style has given birth to the concept of fast fashion. We as consumers have become so fashion-conscious that we put too much thought and money into what we wear, which is not wrong, but considering its impact on the environment, maybe it is! Fast fashion is basically fashion which changes with the rapidly-changing trends and focuses on speed and low cost. These type of clothing don’t have much wardrobe life. They are mainly focused on making the fashion available from ramp to the market at a much cheaper rate. The vibrant colours, designs and novel...

Love makes you helpless. Love makes you weak. It makes you stronger. It makes you pleased.  To love is to live. To love is to feel. To love is to fly. To love is to happily die.                       Love comes in your life unannounced. It is a force that destroys your plans and gives you new ones. It is a feeling that leaves you contented. It gives you unexplainable emotions and uncountable memories. Love brings hope, love brings pleasure. It means emotions, it means treasure. It is a feeling which creates havoc in your life because you feel too much too soon. You feel happy, you feel content, you feel afraid and all those unexplainable emotions which make you nervous and scared and excited and.......... the list goes on and on. Doesn’t that sound crazy? I want to be in love someday. I dream to be irrevocably in love and I crave to be loved unconditionally....

Mental health is one of the most misunderstood and mistreated concept in India. When we talk about life-threatening diseases some of us may not even consider mental illness as part of the list. But in reality, it can be equally, if not more dangerous for a person’s life as any other disease. Mental health typically means a person’s state of mind, the emotional and psychological wellbeing. Negative mental health can cause disorders such as depression, anxiety, trauma, panic attacks, which can eventually lead a person to take life-threatening actions. With the extensively revolving and fast-paced world that we have created for ourselves also comes the burden of surviving in it. Things have changed so much in almost every aspect of life that to keep up with it and overcome the obstacles has become very stressful and mentally tiring for people. This sometimes causes emotional stress, anxiety, fear, and trauma, which can trigger a person’s mental health and leave a severe impact. T...
