Image created by Panda Design Lab Overthinking | Anxiety | Depression These three words are dealt like a demon in this society. No one ever talks about it, but at some stage of your life, everyone has faced. It is human nature to ponder over a situation that didn't go as planned, over some kind of conversation that lingers in the head or it's just the void in your heart, you don't know the existence of. Some people are able to handle situations way better than the others, but those who don't; slip into depression and have anxiety and have no one to talk to. This post is a realisation that everyone fights a silent battle daily, be it any gender but whatever it may be, always try and share it with someone - be it your parents, your best friend or any person you are comfortable one. You don't need to fight all your battles alone.

I have woken up early at such a wee time of the day after about a month. I have never felt so refreshed and energised, that's when I decided to jot down my thoughts in this post, so do read it till the end. One of the pros of having this quarantine, it has made me aware of the beauty that's around. The roads that were bustling throughout the day have become silent, also less dust and pollution. All that has made way for trees flourishing, more birds chirping, I could even see more sparrows which had become quite rare around Tardeo. There's always two sides of the same coin, it's all about your perception. It is either you just like to sit and crib about every situation or try to look at the positive side of it and enjoy the present. Check the Instagram post here .

Aloe Vera How to get your skin naturally glowing pimple-free? Apply aloe vera.  It is the most natural moisturizer you can find. It is easy to grow in your homes as well.  What you need is  Aloe vera gel, fresh from the plant. Cut one leaf and cut out any thorns on them. Apply directly to the skin.

Safety First Women need to be careful while traveling in trains or at stations with a lot of crowds. I read an article in TOI regarding a woman being injected with a drug that would numb her arm and the offender can steal her bag. I was shocked to my core to read that a lady, a woman or even a girl is not safe at any point in their life. It is so disgusting and disturbing as well. This woman felt her hand go numb while she was traveling back home. She actually could not feel her arm for many days. Then she also felt pain in her left shoulder. This is disturbing because the offenders are using other ways to steal that may lead to more disastrous damage to any other woman or human. So this post is to let all the Women in Mumbai to know this and be careful with themselves and their belongings. The offenders need to understand that someday it could be their sister, daughter or mother. Would they want any female in their house to suffer like this? You can also u...

Valkyries by Paulo Coelho  is a self-autobiography. In this story, the writer describes himself. He pens down all his flaws and shortcomings, about his marriage, personal life etc. and how everything turned around to be good again. Here, Paulo describes himself as a Satan worshipper and believer of magic. He could not be employed in a job for a long time. He used to swap jobs at a drop of a hat. His wife, Christina stuck with him throughout all these turbulence. His mentor J ( James Redfield) provided him with a task (through a poem) to find his guardian angel. Paulo, being a stern follower and student, set out to Mojave desert with his wife Christina. His marriage did not have any meaning. Paulo Coelho would hardly communicate with his wife. He would just like to be with himself. Paulo already knew that “he had the tendency to kill what he loves”. So, on this trip, he wanted to consult all his demons and reverse his self-destructive path. Valkyries are leather-cla...
