Teenage years
Not Every Home A Good Home
I left because she didn’t hear me. My mother and I — we always butted heads. Always. It wasn’t just small disagreements or little attitude moments; it was constant tension. No matter how much I tried, no matter how much I kept quiet or held in my feelings, it was like we could never meet in the middle. The frustration built up over time, until I felt like I was suffocating in the silence between us. No matter how hard I tried to make her understand, I always seemed to be the one at fault. No matter how much I bent, it was never enough.

We're All Struggling- So Why Are You Judging Me?
Why let me make memories with you just for you to stop them now? I used to think help meant care. That when someone saw me drowning, they’d reach out because they wanted to see me okay. But now, I’m not so sure. Somewhere along the way, “help” started to come with strings attached — a favor you’d throw in my face later, or worse, something I had to earn by breaking myself down first.

India-Pakistan Conflict Escalates
May 2025 Military Tensions Erupt After Kashmir Massacre On May 6, 2025, the fragile peace between two nuclear-armed neighbors—India and Pakistan—was shattered as India launched a series of missile strikes into Pakistani territory. This unprecedented escalation comes just two weeks after a deadly attack in Indian-administered Kashmir, which killed 26 Indian tourists. India has blamed the massacre on Pakistan-based militants, and these strikes appear to be a direct retaliation.

May this love ever find me.
They say a woman’s first love is their father. Luckily for me, it’s my grandfather. This generation has been more dependent on what is depicted in the media. They showcase the POV of lucky girlies who are treated well by their partners. And this actually prompts others to be “loved like this” or “may this love ever find me”. But little do they know what lies behind the screen. What is beyond the seemingly perfect relationship that one hopes to have.

Why I Cut Off My Entire Family and Never Looked Back.
There are moments in life that define you, moments that, once crossed, make you look at the world and your past through an entirely different lens. For me, that moment came when I made the decision to cut off my entire family. It wasn’t a decision made lightly, nor was it one that came without its own struggles, doubts, and long nights of reflection. But in the end, it was the most freeing choice I ever made.

The Silence That Spoke Louder Than Words: A Woman’s Strength in the Shadows
They say silence is weakness. That if you’re not loud, if you don’t demand, if you don’t shout back — you’ll be forgotten. I used to believe that, too. Until life taught me that sometimes, silence is not surrender. It’s strength.

The Stranger on Platform Nine
It was a rainy afternoon in Prague, and the train station buzzed with the usual chaos—loudspeakers echoing destinations, footsteps clattering on old tiles, and the scent of coffee blending with metal, rain, and the faint smell of diesel. I was on Platform Nine, backpack in hand, waiting for a train to Vienna.

"When the Sky Turned Lavender"
It was the middle of March when the sky above their school first turned that soft shade of lavender, the kind of color that comes right before sunset, when day hesitates before giving into night. That’s when Ayan first noticed Rayyan—not just as the quiet boy in the last row, but really noticed him.

The Perfect Daughter
I've spent twenty-seven years being the daughter my mother wanted instead of the one she had. My real sister died before I was born—a golden child named Catherine who drowned at age seven. I arrived eleven months later, a replacement my mother never acknowledged as such.
