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…
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…
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. …
Environment : Little steps to a bigger change
In this fast paced modern world, there are many people who are still deprived of the basic amenities of life. Human Rights ensures that one and all are bestowed with these basic necessities of living a standard life. Yet there are many such countries in this world which have a huge number of its population below the poverty line.Clean and fresh environment is a human right and clearly, many…
Breaking the taboos on periods and contraception
I’m 13, wandering around a supermarket with my dad and brothers. As we are walking I start to feel stabbing pains in my lower abdomen, I tell my dad and rush to find somewhere to sit down because standing up is too painful. Somehow make it home, rush to the bathroom and there it is. My first period. For the following four years I’d have months without periods and when I’d finally get them, they’d…

Me too. For months now, those two words have been far more than a trending hashtag – it has been a symbol of a women’s right to speak out as well as a symbol for the near-deafening cry for equality for women. It is also a symbol for everything that is wrong in, primarily, the workplace. Sexual harassment perpetrators have been constantly demoted and fired for their unprofessionalism in their…
