Judgy😒


In school me and my friends were fairly good in studies and used to wonder why others dint study well. We never wanted to know what made them that way but just used to think the only thing in a students life is to study and if the person doesn’t do it well he/she is practically doing nothing good.  

Now when I interact with people I understand each one lives a different life and each one has different challenges to face. Few had family issues, few were in charge of cooking at home and taking care of siblings since their mom left to work, few spent their weekends doing lot of household work and spent remaining time studying, few came from other schools and found it hard to adjust, few were introverts so dint ask doubts in topics they dint understand, few were good in sports and had different talents. 

We are often so quick to judge a person without knowing anything about them. Everyone has challenges to face in different forms in life. After knowing all of it as an adult I actually felt bad that I was blinded by my immature thoughts back then. The main reason was the way teachers treated the students who dint study well. They just used to punish them by giving impositions or making them stand outside the class and I dint want to be treated that way. I have never come across any staff who would call their students to understand the trouble they had in studying except in movies (Taare zameen par :P).  If anyone pursues a teaching career or if you guys have kids or in the future I hope we teach them good things as in not to judge a person based on studies.  
U guys can let me know or comment below and tell me what you judged about someone and realized it later.

Importance of having your own space

This is a taboo topic in India. I stayed with my parents till 12th grade. Then I moved to college for the next 4 years. Even while I was in college I wasn't practically alone because I had room mates and the same thing happened after I joined work as I stayed in working women's hostel. Then covid happened and I got married during covid and moved to his parents place. Our own space there was our room. Then 10 months later we shifted to Bangalore for study and work reasons and it was the first time in my life that I got an entire space to myself. My husband got his own space inside his college (A single room). While I stayed with my parents my job was to just take care of myself, eat and study. When I moved to hostel I had to tackle my laundry as well. Same happened in working women's hostel but extra responsibility was to pay my rent, tackle my finances and travel. Cooking became an extra part of our schedules wherein we make dishes occasionally. Each and every step of this ...

Consumerism - Minimalism (Part - 2)

  Well let's first understand this term consumerism. It means encouraging the consumption of goods and services as a never ending cycle. So in simple words we the people are consumers who will constantly be bombarded with ads promoting that we need certain things to increase our standard of living.  What's wrong in increasing the standard of living? Let's be honest there's nothing wrong. It is good to get stuff that ease our lives like mixer and grind instead of the old ways of grinding spices, television for entertainment, mobile phone for communication, vehicle for travelling. So where does the problem arise? It arrises when we start buying more stuff than we actually need just because we saw a ad saying the existing one is not good. We will always find something better coming up in the market each day. It has become a way of life.  Most of the time the products are purposefully made so fragile that we end up replacing them. Eg: The glass back on mobile phones are goo...

Assumptions about married women

That's me. And I prefer doing whatever I like be it going on trips or hitting the gym or doing my office work or cooking. 1.  Cooking  -  Assumption that women must cook despite having busy careers. Dont get me wrong. Infact, I love trying out new dishes occasionally. But the phone call I had received from my relative the other day made me question this. They were constantly interested in what Im cooking or if I learnt to cook the dal gravy. I faced a similar incident at the gym. Our trainer asked me to cook more protein rich food for my husband and feed him regularly. Though meant in a humorous way, the underlying meaning kind of made me feel sad. The fact that nobody would say this to a husband made me question. Cooking is a life skill. It is a choice. We can always hire someone. We might develop interest in cooking once we start living on our own. We must also stop judging someone for their food choices. When I say I make protein pancakes or wheat semiya or masala oats...
