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...

Sex without intimacy: A Spill the Tea story about modern loneliness

Tara meets someone through a matrimony broker. They quickly decide marriage isn’t on the table, but spend a night together anyway. What follows isn’t regret or drama, but an unsettling emptiness. Over tea and samosas, she tries to understand why physical closeness left her feeling more alone than before. Spill the Tea: When Closeness leaves You Feeling Further away The tea was too sweet. Tara noticed it immediately but didn’t say anything. She sat on the verandah chair, one foot tucked under the other, the plastic creaking every time she shifted. She wore a black cotton top with sleeves pushed to her elbows and denim shorts that left her knees bare to the evening air. She didn’t look uncomfortable. Just slightly unfinished, as if she’d left in a hurry. Between us, a steel plate held two samosas, already cooling. The chutney had begun to darken at the edges. She broke a corner of the samosa. The crust flaked onto her plate. She dipped it into the chutney, carefully. “You know,” she said...

Does India need communal parties?

I think, it was Tan's post on this blog itself, Republic Day Event, where this question was raised. My answer. YES. we need communal parties even in Independent, Secular India. Now let me take you, back to events before 1947. When India was a colony of the British Empire. The congress party, in its attempt to gain momentum for the independence movement, heavily used Hinduism, an example of which is the famous Ganesh Utsav held in Mumbai every year. Who complains? No one. But at that time, due to various policies of the congress, Muslims started feeling alienated. Jinnah, in these times, got stubborn over the need of Pakistan and he did find a lot of supporters. Congress, up till late 1940's never got bothered by it. And why should we? Who complains? No one. But there were repercussions. The way people were butchered and slaughtered during that brief time when India got partitioned, was even worse than a civil war scenario. All in the name of religion. And there indeed was cr...
