Revealing the Revelations!

-


These days, I have been thinking a lot about life. Just through everyday experiences. Small disappointments, tired days, overthinking nights, and quiet moments where things suddenly made sense. Through all this, I have had a few honest realizations.

One big thing I am learning is to stop keeping too many expectations from people. Earlier I used to believe that if I gave my time, love, care, and emotional support to others, it would naturally come back to me in the same way. But life does not always work like that. Not everyone thinks, feels, or gives the same way we do. Accepting this truth was hard but also very freeing.

Another thing I have realized is that it is impossible to make everyone around you happy and satisfied. No matter how much you try, someone will feel upset, misunderstood, or expect more from you. For a long time I tried to keep everyone comfortable even at the cost of my own peace. Honestly, it was exhausting.

Slowly I am learning that it is okay to choose myself sometimes. We often hear that being selfish is wrong, but maybe a little selfishness is necessary to protect our mental and emotional health. The truth is that many people already put themselves first. There is nothing wrong with doing that in a healthy way.

I am also starting to understand the importance of boundaries. Living within my own limits, my own circle, and my own space feels lighter. I no longer want to push myself just to please everyone or keep explaining my choices again and again. I am learning to quietly protect my energy and my peace.

Maybe that is the biggest realization of all. The ultimate goal is not to make everyone happy. It is to find your own calm and happiness. It is about living in a way that feels right to you and waking up without emotional heaviness.

I am still learning all of this and still figuring out how to balance caring for others while also caring for myself. But one thing is becoming clear. Peace does not come from meeting everyone’s expectations. It comes from understanding your own needs and respecting them.

Teaching- The divine blessing!

  I always believe that a teacher should not support their students when they do something wrong. I don't think a good teacher will ever do that. Instead point out their mistakes and correct them or else we are spoiling them. Nowadays I have seen and experienced teachers who just wish to get popular among students. All they want is to get the tag the "favourite teacher". And for this they are ready to do "anything" for the students. I fear, is this "anything", good or bad for the students?  There are 'n' number of ways for being a "good teacher". A "good teacher" can also be a favourite teacher, but a "favourite teacher" will not always be a good teacher. I believe a good teacher is a mentor, communicator and someone who will guide students properly and not always be the "saviour" when they are wrong. If you are supporting students without making them understand their faults; I should say nothing worse y...

How Many More???

  Every day, we wake up to disturbing headlines. Another woman has died by suicide. Another daughter is lost. Not by fate, but by prolonged emotional and physical abuse she went through in her own home, the very place where she should have felt safest. And in most of these heartbreaking cases, there is a painful pattern. The family already knew. After the tragedy, we hear statements from parents and relatives. "She had told us he was abusive." "He used to beat her, we knew she was unhappy." "We believe he is responsible for her death." But here is the question that haunts me and should haunt all of us. If you knew, why didn’t you pull her out of that pain before it was too late? Why is it that a woman has to reach a breaking point before her suffering is taken seriously?  Our society still glorifies a woman’s ability to adjust. She is expected to tolerate, forgive, and endure. She is told, “Things will get better,” “Do not ruin the marriage,” “Think about ...

The Silent Struggles

  Parenting is beautiful, but it can also be really hard especially for mothers. From the outside, it looks like a happy journey of watching a little one grow, but deep inside, there are many struggles we rarely talk about. Talking to other moms made me realize that most of these struggles don't come from the baby, but from the people around us, family members, in-laws, and relatives. Almost every mother I spoke to said they were not allowed to raise their child the way they wanted. There were comments and interference about what the baby should eat, how and when to sleep, and how the mother should act. One mother said her mother-in-law kept giving her toddler sugary snacks and junk food, even after she had asked her not to. Worse, the mother-in-law told the child, "Don't tell your mother," which made her feel helpless and betrayed. As a working mom, she couldn’t monitor everything at home, and that made it even harder. Another mom shared her difficult postpartum days...
