Never Again - A Lesson

Experience, my friend, is the best teacher. Time, equally so. My parents tell me that I don't need to make the same mistakes that they made, in order to learn. So, I make mistakes of my own, then regret making them and take lessons from each one of them. So, here goes.

  1. Don't let anyone treat you like their booty call. You're definitely not it. Unless you believe in that kind of a thing, then you might as well be one, I guess. There are far better things you can be, than a booty call for some jerk. Most importantly, don't be your ex's booty call. Period.

  2. Never give in to lust. It always screws things up. For you, to say the least. They say, lust is one of the deadly sins; today I understand why. It will destroy you mentally, steal your piece of mind and wreck you emotionally. It is not everybody's cup of tea. Don't say you weren't warned.

  3. Do not tolerate nuisance. Not from anyone. Make sure the line is never crossed. What's off limits, should remain so, come what may. Do not tolerate any kind of humiliation or insult. Pay back, always. It's never okay to be a submissive. Take shit from no one. Not even yourself.

  4. Maintain a level of self-respect and dignity, even if it comes to the worst. Nobody will respect you if you don't respect your own self. And learn to leave from the table, when respect is no longer being served.

  5. Do not believe everything people say. Believe everything they do. As much as I am a lover of words, they can and do deceive. Understand people's intentions from their actions.

  6. Leave the past where it should be - in the past. Make peace with it. Don't spend too much time thinking what was and what should have been. What happened 10 years ago or 10 minutes ago, it doesn't matter now. What matters now is now. Make that count.

  7. Be stubborn, be bold, be rigid. Don't give up before you get what you want. Don't let anything get in the way of you and your goals. Do not let anyone take your dreams away from you. Hold on tight, you're so much stronger than you think you are.

  8. Do not compromise. Do not settle for something that does not meet your standards. You deserve more than ordinary. Do not settle for a 2BHK flat when what you really want is a penthouse. Strive for it. It'll take time, but you'll get there eventually. Do not settle for mediocre, especially when it comes to sex and life - they need to be great!


  9. Say "Fuck off" more often and to those who have wronged you. They don't deserve to be a part of your life. Some people grow up to become mature adults, others grow up to become assholes. Fuck them and forget them. It's in your best interest to do so. And they probably don't care, so why should you?


  10. Last of all, never let anyone belittle you. You are magnificent, you are more than anyone could ever be. Invest in becoming great. Invest in spreading greatness. As for those who underestimate and despise you, they can bloody well fuck themselves. 


    Chin up, head high, smile, raise your middle finger and get on with life.

Different Kinds of People Seen During Diwali

Diwali is ,indeed, synonymous with togetherness, bonding and festivity. The most-awaited festival is here and I can already feel the air spell happiness. A lot has changed with time. However, some things have remained constant throughout, and this year is no exception. Coming to people, one can be sure to find few of the following kinds in their vicinity. Just look around, and you can spot them with no difficulty. After all, such are the people who make sure to keep alive the essence of Diwali. Watch out, you could be one of them, too! ;) 1. Card-Players Black jack, flash, bluff? Hello Mr. Know-It-All. Such are the people whose nights and money are spent playing endless card games. Seems like Diwali is the perfect time to get out that new pack of cards you'd been saving since a whole year. For the players, 'up and down' has more to do with monetary profit and loss than with intercourse positions.    2. Home-ridden creatures This particular kind is voluntarily home r...

..I Let Him Go

Tonight is no different.   I twist and turn in bed like every other night.   The events of the day run a recap through my subconscious mind.   Nothing special. I twist and turn as grief takes over. One quiet sob. And another. And another. Before I know it, my sister is awake, holding me tight, asking me what's wrong. She's 15. How is she supposed to understand the so-called problems of adulthood? What do I explain her?   So she just holds me close while I cry the heck out of me.   It's not the kind of crying that babies do. It's not the cry for milk or for a toy or for a video game, nor is it for a dress or a party.   It's over a guy. A lost love.   No, he wasn't my boyfriend and he never could be. There are more kinds of love that can blossom between a guy and a girl, than you think. This was one of those different kinds.   Simply because we were different - together and individually. I don't know why I cry over him but I ...

Ego, Ego, E..GO.

What is ego? It is essentially the definition of you, for you and by you. It might as well be the factor that separates you from the rest of the world, giving you some sense of superiority over others. The roots of human ego lie in the 3 M’s: Me, Mine and Myself. The whole story begins right here. It is this ego that doesn’t let us use our full potential to nurture relationships. It prevents us from doing what is right and needful because too often, we are blinded by what we want. The ego wants to want more than it wants to have. Here, I am mostly going to talk about how ego transforms relationships and the effect it has on the people involved.    A lot of times, we find ourselves contemplating whether we should initiate or wait for the other to do so. Ending up with thoughts like “Woh bhi toh kar sakta/sakti hai. Main hi kyun karu?”  But, you know what, this happens only when someone has made us feel insignificant with their intentional or unintentional actio...
