Tuesday Musings - End of another year

I know I haven't been writing too often and 2017 was just a dull year on the writing front. I finished with Hey Honey Bunch last year this time, and haven't written anything exciting ever since.  The year is passing by and it's almost over. 

It has been a good year as far as workshops which I have conducted, which have been quite well received and I have met many warm people in due course and I swear, when they write back to show their new blogs or any positive feedback, it softens my heart and touches my mind too. Now that I want to focus back on my writings, I might cut down on the workshops. Let's see where the path leads to.



On the personal front, like I wrote above, met loads of new and awesome people this year, especially over workshops and due socializing. We introverts are a sad minority which no one wants to acknowledge or accept. It is like you are afflicted with a disease and everyone should feel sorry for it. Still, to go out and come across some great people is a nice thing. I met someone recently who turned out to be such a nice person and offered to read my stories. I showed the person, Hey Honey Bunch and got such an honest and detailed feedback, that just shook me off. It feels good you know when you come across a person who understands your story as well as you yourself do. Or even better. 

But on the other hand, as the circle of life goes on, people leave our lives too. So many loved ones have traveled a far distance only to affirm that nothing is permanent in life. It's what people come in your life for. To go away one day. 

Back on the writing front. It seems like a new story is finally on its way. And the first draft should be circulated very soon. I have also lined quite a few more plots, stories, which are beckoning me. The characters shouting at me, to bring them to life, as if my procrastination would be a great sin for their stories. So I got to hurry up, pull my socks and tap away the keyboard over time to churn these stories out. 

Awaiting your feedback.

Genocide in Gaza: How colonialism has alienated you from your own humanity

The discomfort you feel speaking up about genocide in Palestine: How colonialism has alienated us from humanity Why does speaking about Gaza feel so unsettling? There is an undeniable discomfort that arises when we speak of genocide in Gaza, a conflict rooted not only in geopolitics but also in a long history of colonialism. That discomfort? It is a manifestation of how deeply colonialism has alienated us from our own humanity. It has made us bystanders, distant observers, to a grotesque tragedy that demands our empathy and action. Every day, the children of Gaza are bombarded by forces much larger than themselves—forces of colonial interests, global profits, and silent complicity. How many of us have spoken up about the atrocities in Gaza? How many of us have chosen silence because the violence feels too far away, too complex, or too heavy to carry? That silence—our silence—perpetuates a chasm in our spirit, a gap that must be bridged if we are to mend not just Palestine, but the fray

Should parenting be a certainty? A hard look at who should be raising kids

“Sometimes I think the answer lies in wondering if the lives we are creating for others are better than the ones we inherited ourselves.” I am convinced that many people who are parents should not be. It is a bold statement, but when you strip away the romanticised lens through which we have been conditioned to view parenthood, it becomes harder to ignore the underlying truth: parenting is not something to be taken lightly. Nor is it a choice that should be made unless you are 100% certain —mentally, emotionally, and financially ready for it.  Is parenting more than just a biological destiny? The moment you announce that you are pregnant, society collectively leans in, nods approvingly, and asks about baby showers and cribs. The truth? Being responsible for an entire human being is incredibly tough—life-altering, in fact. Yet, people still push forward with the idea that it’s something “ you just do, ” that it will all work out because, well, doesn’t it always? In reality, parenting is
