Have you ever felt that you are so ugly?

Atleast once in our life, we would've gone through this inferiority complex. "I'm so tall, I'm so skinny, I'm dark skinned, I'm so short, I'm so fat", and so more. Even many around us doesn't even have the confidence to look at themselves in the mirror. Such toxic misconcepts! Since when did we start to analyse ourselves with these so called standards?


In my young age, even I had the same thought that being fair skinned is beautiful. And I started using all those famous fairness creams and powders just to get fairer. Later I realized that it is a wrong concept which is spread by our society and it is heartbreaking to know that youngsters even now believe all these superstitions and fall prey for the comments made by the society.

I don't know when would this get to society understand that all such 'beauty concepts' are human made! Even many among think that makeup is used for making a skin fairer. They are still ignorant to the fact that a person's skin tone and body nature is constant and it cannot be changed.


According to me, the word 'external beauty' itself is meaningless. Beauty depends on each person and one who is beautiful according to one person may not be the same for the other. Beauty is something much more than that. It is the character of a person which defines a person's beauty, rather than their looks.

All these things are actually known by everyone. The issue of body shaming is a hot discussion nowadays. Even awareness through movies and short films are being tried. A recent malayalam short film named 'Kakka' is an example.


But still, this society is not ready to get over it. It is a common misbelief in many families that irrespective of the bride/ bridegroom's job or lifestyle, their skin tone is very much important! How pity! One of the main reasons for this are the toxic and irrelevant fairness ads. For their profit, they are making us fools. Injecting such toxic concepts enables them to make large profit as we people are falling prey for them.

Dear all, what this society says doesn't matter. You are beautiful the way you are. Love yourself and be yourself any day. Never think you are worthless. Work hard and create an identity for yourself. Even then, there will be many people around you to spread negativity and demotivate you. Ignore them and live your life to its fullest.


 Stop body shaming.
Ignore all the negativities.
Love yourself, the way you are.

Wishing you all to have a good day.

Thanking You :)

When attachment hurts

The hardest part of attachment isn’t always losing someone - it’s watching them drift away because of life. Not because they’ve stopped caring, not because they’ve changed as a person, but because circumstances stepped in. Distance, busy days, different paths. Suddenly, the friend who once felt like your everyday comfort now feels like a guest in your life. And it hurts in ways words can’t carry. The calls grow fewer, the replies slower, the laughter shorter. You tell yourself, 'they still care… it’s just life'. But your heart aches anyway, because attachment makes you sensitive. Every small change feels like a loud silence. Yet, even through the ache, you can’t deny how beautiful it is when such friendships first arrive in your life. The ones you never expected - born out of a random moment, a casual conversation, or sheer coincidence - end up carving the deepest spaces in your heart. These friends make the world feel lighter, like you’ve been handed a quiet gift you didn’t ev...

But still..

It is hard, but still… we go on. It is heavy, but still… we carry it. It is uncertain, but still… we hope. It is painful, but still… we love again. Because somehow, deep down, we know - life doesn’t stop for the storms. And maybe that’s what makes it beautiful. It’s not always easy to wake up and try again when everything inside you wants to give up. But you still do - quietly, stubbornly, beautifully. You may not even realize it, but that’s courage. Not the loud, movie kind; the soft, everyday kind that says, "I’ll face today anyway.” It is confusing - when people you cared for drift away, when plans fall apart, when dreams take longer than they should. But still… you find small reasons to smile; a good song, a sunset, a message from someone who remembers. That’s life’s way of saying, “Keep going, you’re not done yet.” It is tiring to be the strong one all the time. To be the listener, the comforter, the one who understands while silently needing to be understood. But still… you ...

The absurdity of suffering

Bad times don't just "feel bad". They feel like suffocation. Like something heavy pressing on your chest that no one else can see. I don't try to make suffering prettier than it is. Pain is real, and when you're in it, advice feels hollow. And yet, something strange happens with time. Some of the deepest insights I've seen in people's lives didn't come wrapped in joy and clarity. They came from heartbreak, from disappointments, from nights that felt endless. There's something absurd about how much we learn from suffering, how pain becomes a kind of teacher no one asked for, but everyone meets eventually. The existential lens does not sugarcoat things. Life has no built-in meaning. We suffer, often without reason, and sometimes we break. But within that absurdity lies freedom; we get to choose how we respond. The suffering may not be meaningful in itself, but what we do with it can be. That's where the human spirit becomes something fierce and b...
