Voyaging through the blogosphere-31

The blog title says exaggeration. Then the very next thing you see is that it contradicts itself in the description. Confused? So am I. Lets check out this blog.
Blog title - Exaggeration
Blog Url - http://exaggerration.blogspot.com
Blog Author - Nasia
Genre - Personal
Created - February, 2007
The blog isn't very heavy and bulky.In the sense that there aren't many posts though its active since 2007.The good news is that, the author has been very consistent in maintaining her blogs. There are just 28 posts, but spaced out well in approx 14 months.
On content, its about her work life mostly. Which is interesting, as well as provide us an insight of a person's work life, who is used to working in shifts. Recently i get a lot to see in various medias debates on this whole shift work life scenario. Nice to hear some views from an experienced person. There are also very interesting thoughts and events of her life, which lites up your face,
brings a small little smile, and you know the blog was worth reading.
3 posts i can safely recommend are :-
1. Tagged with gratitude [ Reminds you of family]
2. Public display [ You must have been in a similar situation before :-) ]
3. Kidwai [ Dont miss the last line]
I dont know exactly what the writer does for living, but am very much sure that she can make a great living as a writer [ and that involves lot of shifts too. hehe]
A good blog for mature people, kiddos wont probably love it there. Especially the young adults living away from home, should be able to connect with it.
http://lifeheadon.blogspot.com is the next blog on our list
Do comment in on what you felt about exaggeration

Cutting people off isn’t strength—It is a trauma response

Your ability to cut people off and self-isolate is not a skill you should be proud of—It is a trauma response Cutting people off and self-isolating may feel like a protective shield, but it is often rooted in unresolved or unhealed trauma and an inability to depend on others. While these behaviors seem like self-preservation, they end up reinforcing isolation and blocking meaningful connections. Confronting these patterns, seeking therapy, and nurturing supportive relationships can help break this unhealthy cycle. Plus, a simple act like planting a jasmine plant can symbolise the start of your journey towards emotional healing. Why do we cut people off and isolate? If you’re someone who prides themselves on “cutting people off” or keeping a tight circle, you might believe it’s a skill—a way to protect yourself from betrayal, hurt, or unnecessary drama. I get it. I’ve been there, too. But here’s the thing: this ability to isolate yourself is not as empowering as it may seem. In fact, i...

Spill the Tea: Ira and the quiet exhaustion of being watched

Ira comes for tea and slowly reveals a life shaped by emotional surveillance. Loved, watched, and quietly evaluated by her parents, she lives under constant explanation. Through food, posture, and confession, she names the exhaustion of being known too well and finds nourishment not just in eating, but in finally being heard. Ira arrived  five minutes early and apologized for it. The way people do when they are used to taking responsibility for time itself. She said it lightly, as if time itself had offended her. She wore a white A-line shirtdress, clean and careful, the kind that looks chosen for comfort but ends up signaling restraint. When she sat down, she folded herself into the chair unconsciously. One leg rested on the floor, the other tucked underneath her, knees visible. It was not a pose meant to be seen. It slipped out before her body remembered how to protect itself. I noticed the brief softness of it, the quiet vulnerability, before she settled and forgot. I was still...

Not Quite Dead Yet- Holly Jackson- A review

Is Not Quite Dead Yet all hype and no heart? A review of Holly Jackson’s thriller You pick up Not Quite Dead Yet expecting a clever, grown up thriller, but you are handed melodrama dressed as urgency. This long form review questions the hype, critiques its shallow characterisation, and asks whether a ticking clock can replace emotional depth, moral consequence, and believable storytelling. Why do you pick up a book that promises a woman will die in seven days? You know this feeling. You walk into a bookshop or scroll online, tired after a long day, and you want certainty. You want a hook that grabs you by the collar and says, “This will matter.” A countdown does exactly that. Seven days to live. A woman solving her own murder. The premise feels urgent, cinematic, and engineered to keep you turning pages even when your better judgement whispers otherwise. Publishing statistics support this instinct. According to data shared by The New York Times and NPR , thrillers with ...
