It's None Of Your Business

Have you ever overheard a group of your friends or colleagues discussing your personal life behind your back? Or Has your relationship status ever been the measurement of the quality of your performance? Well, I'm sure quite a number of you must have experienced this. My question here is, does it feel right?

Every now and then, there are news all over the media regarding some celebrity linkups or breakups. Almost every single person likes to comment about other people's relationships. Rumours are spread, jokes are circulated and what not. Nobody wants to refrain from commenting on another person's private life.  What is astonishing to me is, just because a person is a public figure, how does it give you the authority to make an issue of their personal lives?

Recently, after winning a crucial match in T20 World Cup, thousands of people trolled Virat Kohli's ex-girlfriend Anushka Sharma for their breakup. The social media was full of jokes and cartoons stating that since the two had parted ways, there was a considerable boost in Virat's cricket performance. There was less of humour and more of insult in all that was going around. A notable moment in this situation was when Virat Kohli reminded the trolls how to respect another human being.

I completely fail to understand why do we need to make a joke about another individual's life. As everyone else, the celebrities are also entitled to a private space. We don't know what resulted in their split or patchup. We have no idea on who was at fault and who not. We are absolutely clueless about on what terms are they with each other. Then why, why do we have to gossip about them irrespective of whether it's a celebrity or not. Are we so bored of our own lives that we need to spice them up at the expense of someone else's privacy and emotions?

Protection or Prison

  Under the guise of safety  We keep our doors closed Merely imagining the world beyond We accept to be forever entombed What we fail to recognize Is that we are our own prison Limiting our own powers We have given up our own freedom What started as protection Has now become a jail That which we are so afraid to break out of That which has become our excuse to fail   The reality is not what we believe Rather, we can actually take charge Change the direction our destiny takes And break free from the tower so large -Tamrina

The Evolving Lyrics of Life

I often say music is the sound of the soul and basically equivalent to oxygen for me. I know it sounds like a cliché but hear me out. All my life, starting from as early as I can remember, music has been my constant companion: in my joys and sorrows, smiles and tears, greetings and losses, it has been an integral part of almost all of my core memories. It inspires me, holds my hand when I am alone and even makes me make sense of my complicated emotions when I am unable to. Something similar happened a couple days ago and I want to talk about it.   Chaahe jo tumhe poore dil se, milta hai wo mushkil se. Aisa jo koi kahin hai, bas wo hi sabse haseen hai. Uss haath ko tum thaam lo, wo meharban kal ho na ho I am sure a majority of you have heard these lines many times and we all have our own interpretations of them, I did too. My understanding of these lines emphasized how we should embrace the love that walks into our lives and hold on to it as it is a rare thing to find but also, we m...

My 2024 Wrapped

  I have contemplated writing this post, wondering if I am really in a mood to travel back down the memory lane and explore the year I had. But here I am, reflecting on what all went down in the last year, just as a way for myself to document my journey through the chaos. I started 2024 in a not so good mood, with dealing  emotions that were just too heavy to be explained in words or even understood, from feeling lost and alone to at the same time feeling guilty about letting down the people who cared for me, it was a complicated beginning. Then came a happy moment when I attended my first ever concert, something I desperately wanted to do. On the work front, I continued my MPhil journey, learning things I assumed I wouldn’t be able to do and finding ways to accomplish my goals in ways that were interesting to say the least. Feelings of being overwhelmed and not doing enough for my goals were a near constant, often to the point of being counterproductive. I learn...
