My two cents on mental health awareness
Social media posts on mental health are flooding the internet but is that enough? The stigma is still there, and so many people still do not know how to spot the signs and symptoms in themselves, and in people that form part of their circle. Speaking out is amazing but there are many people that are going through the same battle and can relate to you and share experiences, but what about those…
As a child, I don’t think I had many English role models. But I definitely had Tamil ones, Tamil being my first language. I didn’t watch Tamil films as much as I do now but when I did it was an incredibly exciting time. Despite being a girl and being expected to identify with and imitate the female actors as my psychology knowledge would lead me to believe, I looked to the main male character. Or…
Self love : Why self care dates are important
Self- love defines as regarding one’s own well-being and happiness. I wouldn’t necessarily say that it was a difficult term to comprehend, as it’s pretty blatant, but it was definitely difficult to incorporate into my lifestyle. ‘Why?‘, You may ask but trust me when I say that to truly love yourself, or to even slightly believe that you do, a lot more time and practise goes into it than talking…
Rape culture : Myth or reality?
Rape is not or will ever be an easy topic to talk about, but it is a necessary topic that must be discussed. Many believe that rape culture is just a plot to make men look like evil monsters, but it is so much more than that. Rape culture is when we, as a society, decide to normalize sexual assault situations and turn them into cultural jokes. We begin to say phrases like, “Oh, if she didn’t…
Conversations in your head are nice. There aren’t much people around to talk to so then people start to talk to themselves. I know I’m talking to you, but really yer in my head. It’s raining. It’s always raining here. That last lightning strike made me jump and I think the man in front of me jumped too. All I can see are his shoes though and everyone else got their nice umbrellas. People…
We are one and the same : Small steps towards acceptance
In a world of so much political conflicts, and violence , wouldn’t it be nice if we could at least try to treat each other as equals? It’s easy to feel like a useless spare part: especially when we look at world situations and thinking ‘I wish I could end conflict’ or ‘I wish they would respect one another’s differences’. Now it’s going to take more than just a few brave members of the public to…
Self-esteem is a big thing in ‘the me-centered universe’ that I exclusively inhabit. I try around the clock to keep it polished, upping my game to unprecedented levels. I try to think I’m a queen when can do two-hundred squats when I planned on less. I also try to think I’m a queen when I can’t get out of my standard vortex of meaninglessness, hollowness and so forth. I try, and that’s primarily…

Shades of grey in our social media era
So, I’m no psychologist, but I can tell that social media has an effect on all of us. Social media started as a way of connecting with other people, our loved ones: friends, family. Then it became an easy way of interacting with new people. People we didn’t have to have a face to face conversation with, but people we could just send a quick message to. Communication became almost effortless. …
