Confusion!!!! Confusion is only a sign that your mind is active and thinking, trying to figure out ways to bring something new out of you. Everyone goes through this. It can create a whole mess in your life, or it can also create a whole haven for you just by choosing one option. And choosing that option was difficult for me. I used to think all day. I had so many days. I just went on thinking without any action. I even skipped so many opportunities. I even left jobs after trying, but each step was worth it. Because I understood this, I quit all opportunities and was confused because I didn't...
Throughout history women have been repressed in many ways, one of them being careers. The gender gap in STEM has decreased over time yet it is significant still. Some people suggest that this is simply innate - well there is a plethora of facts to prove them wrong. Various studies suggest that various factors, such as the encouragement from parents, the curriculum content, and the availability of hands-on laboratory experiences, influence the attitudes of young men toward math and science. If women were to be given the same opportunities, they could achieve great things. The discouragement of...
I open up my eyes in the morning that doesn't feel like morning anymore. The World's full of decay and furore. There's always a tint of depression I carry, why I carry is still not known. I now reminisce over the golden days I enjoyed earlier, why not now, I really can't show. There are ups and downs, troughs and crests, I wear a personality all distressed. Pulling me down, down and down, Into an ocean lacking perception and sound. I am a human being, fettered with the chains of emotion. I overthink, to forget the life of devotion. I am determined on breaking the monotony, the malediction cast...
Did you ever notice those marks on your face ? That tell you about your circumscribed pace. Sitting near the dew You notice a droplets few, trying to renew, The constricted space you dwelt in. Around you, change will happen, Change will happen for the good, But you will refuse to accept it happened, For all that happened with you!:( Trying to return back to life , you will notice a book kept somewhere, with edges gnawed... and a human in that deep space somewhere on your plight guffawed. And you finally make out that everything simultaneously works out. And people, appear deaf to your hearty...
somewhere in all this chaos somewhere in all these hopes somewhere in all those promises somewhere in all their dreams I lost me somewhere walking through these roads somewhere searching for the rainbows somewhere running through the highways somewhere on those morning walks I lost me somewhere in some of my memories somewhere in some funny fights somewhere on some cold mornings somewhere on some DJ nights I lost me somewhere trying hiking hills of standard hopeless expectations somewhere rolling down the slopes of disciplined perfect humans somewhere looking for a reason in a sea of ruthless...
We live in a world full of quagmires, whether or not to solve them is usually deciphered by the degree of harm it causes in the present. Have we ever thought about what our indiscriminate actions today can lead to tomorrow? This is one sticky wicket that has been tantalizing almost every scientist to find a solution as urgently as possible. Climate change is not something that’s happening on its own, it’s A PLANNED FIASCO. Talking about how to reduce carbon emissions and listening to ‘How dare you’ by Greta Thunberg will no more help. Its an issue that needs more sensitization than blame...
Let me drag a story I just came across. At a busy street of Kolkata, a friend of mine was looking for a taxi. The driver being responsible of his duty asked her to use the mobile app for availing a discount. Having no such app downloaded on her mobile, the driver himself helped her out with the procedures and explained the benefits of such services throughout the 40 minutes long ride. This driver is the owner of three cars which he has lent to such mobile app-driven transport network services. Observing the trend, he notified his passenger that perhaps after 3-4 months, no one can manage a cab...
I have not grown up in a small town, so this is not a typical small-town-to-metro-city narration. This is more about finding friends, losing them, and knowing you can remain connected even though you live halfway across the country. This is more about growing up, loving yourself, learning how to live alone, and discovering the world that you never knew all your life could change in a moments notice. This is about college - and all the things that come with it. You may ask me, why I am choosing to write this. Well, there are a couple of reasons. First and foremost, because I think it is...
Often in our society an individual’s intellect is measured through grades or qualifications. These qualifications are of no use if it doesn’t take us a step further to being a better human. Instead, an individual’s intellect should help them to differentiate between what is right or wrong. There are numerous issues which our world is facing such as global warming, politics, gender inequality, wars, scarcity of natural resources, etc. We as educated individuals should keep ourselves informed about such ongoing issues. The only thing we have to do is to have our own opinion, which indirectly...
Recently, I had the opportunity of interning at the Bangalore Mediation Centre, an initiative undertaken by the High Court of Karnataka, which aims at facilitating mediation as an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) mechanism to resolve disputes outside the premises of a Court. Mediation, unlike Court cases, does not foray much into the legal technicalities of a case that is generally difficult for the common person to comprehend. It is a voluntary process in which the parties in dispute can informally discuss and negotiate a matter, before approaching the Court directly, in simple terms, in...
THE PAST It is my final year of high school. Sitting in my elective art class, I wonder if I am ever going to make it. We have more than a couple of assignments due tomorrow, and I have not completed any of it. Neither will I, until tonight when the panic of failing my class is going to grab me tight with unseen tentacles of anxiety and paranoia. Deep down, I know that the fear of failing this class is only a puzzle piece to my perpetual existential crisis. Most people have told me that I am too young to have it, I beg to differ. Under my desk, cupped in my hands, is my cellphone that I did...
As naïve children, don’t we all dream of endless possibilities and somehow know that we will leave an everlasting mark on this world? Just a few yesteryears ago we envisioned ourselves to become an astronaut or a policeman or a sports person or maybe even the president of our country, any person who can make the world a better place. Yet, today, these dreams are only a trivial and insignificant part of our existence, that is soon to be forgotten forever. Sometimes the worst thing that can happen to a child is to grow up. As children we blow this huge hot air balloon filled with happiness...

Rewrite Have you seen a bird? Perhaps she is not caged, But our eyes are illusioned. When I set out to discover myself, They stop me right there, Why do you do that? I ask, They never give an answer. One wintry evening, Under the golden streak of light, Extended my hands to catch- Hold that one single cloud, They say, ‘You’re mad!’ Just because I laugh at them. Is this how you label? My eyes don’t wink anymore, Not sure, if that’s my dream, I want a blank slate, I want to draw from scratch, Alas, they don’t let me! My feet don’t stay anymore, They want to fly up high, Mine tryst is too strong...

In today's modern day world, we have some many platforms to make young voices heard.With various different platforms like social media and others, we can too now connect with each and every corner of our world to share our thoughts and opinions. Being a youth myself, I make my voice heard through my writing. The youth of today can share their thoughts and opinions with their writing skills as well. For instance, with the help of internet we all can write a blog or an article or a poem and share it everywhere in social media and other platforms, to make our voice heard everywhere! Everybody in...
I was born at the turn of the century. We're now in the 22nd year of it. At 22, fresh out of graduate school, I find myself standing at a dangerous precipice beyond which lies the realm of discouraged adulthood. By discouraged, I mean defeated. Where the burdens of the world seem too much for one person to concern themselves with. Where the spark of youth, that determination and grasp of today's issues that I consider as deeply personal and fundamental to my existence, become subject to the rallying call of "it is what it is". I find myself staring at that degenerate abyss of resigned...
