Sometimes the hardest person to stand up to isn't a stranger or a boss. 🖤
It's family. 😮💨
But once in a while, you have to — for your own sanity, your own peace, your own self-respect.
Standing up for yourself isn't disrespect. It's you finally respecting YOURSELF. ✨

Scripture like Bhagavad Gita was not written so you could quote it- memorize the Sanskrit shlokas. It was written so that when your own battlefield arrives, when you’re standing in Kurukshetra of your life, and that will happen, you would already know how to stand and win your life’s battle. Same with the Ramayana, or YogSutras by Patanjali or Upanishads. These are not for intellectualization of texts but living manuals. Practicing these in your daily life matters more than quoting the Sanskrit shlokas to prove that you are well versed with them.
Seems silly but what’s kept me away from drama & stay sane is my inherent disinterest in other people & their lives in general.
There’s a calmness that comes with keeping to self, specially with extended family. Apply ‘Need to know’ for self & others for a longer happier life!
Lucky Girl Syndrome in your 20s is finding ₹500 in an old handbag. Lucky Girl Syndrome at 30 is realizing every heartbreak, every bad date, every job that rejected you, every plan that fell apart was basically a GPS recalculating to get you somewhere better.
The face card is stronger, the standards are higher, the bank account is healthier, the anxiety is lower, & somehow life keeps pulling ridiculous little miracles out of its sleeve!!!
Girls younger than me who are stressed about every move, this one’s for you - Lucky Girl Syndrome magnifies with age. By 30, it’s at its most glorious height.
It's been 10 days since we lost my grandmother.
Last night, I slept peacefully. I woke up at 4 AM and helped wherever I could. But today, during the Davva ritual, I truly saw what my family had been carrying on their shoulders.
My brothers, cousins, papa and uncles barely slept for days. They managed food for nearly 1,500 people, arranged travel, seating, rituals, and hundreds of things no one notices. Some of them hadn't even had a night's sleep. Yet they kept going because the family needed them.
As the only girl, I didn't have to carry that weight. I stood there watching everything and felt overwhelmed with gratitude.
In moments of celebration, everyone sees the family.
In moments of loss, you see the strength of the family.
Today, I missed my grandmother deeply. But I also realized how blessed I am to have brothers, cousins... who quietly carry the burden so the rest of us can grieve, heal, and stay together.
Family is truly God's way of making sure we never have to face life's hardest days alone. ❤️
Never underestimate how much God is protecting you from things you don't even know about.
He saw what you didn't and He'll handle what you couldn't.
Leave it all to HIM.
no other better feeling than seeing your cat walking towards you all chill, then you hit them with a happy “hi baby!” and they instantly pick up the pace into a little excited trot because they’re just as happy to see you.
Rizvan met Imran and Sajida during a bus journey, they stopped at a restaurant to have a meal
Suddenly, Rizvan remembered that it was time for Namaz, but Imran said that Namaz should be offered according to the place and the people around
Rizvan replied that Namaz is offered with intention, it does not depend on the place or the people around
But Dhurandhar is propaganda
Mahabharata never taught us who was right and who was wrong.
It taught us how relationships break
When Ego Speaks Louder than love
"BUT they were family "yes,and Sometimes the deepest wounds are given by the people you call your own
Loyalty in Mahabharata was not tested in war
It was tested in silence when someone needed understanding.
Do you realize how rare it is to find someone who sees the world the same way you do, even if only for a single night?
