Don't let the goodness in you, lessen even by a bit, just cuz of the behaviour of others around you !

People may try hard to put you down, to hurt your little sensitive heart, but do not let their behaviour lessen your worth!

Let them try hard to make you feel invisible! You do you and kill them with your goodness cuz that's who you are!

Give the gift of your absence to those who do not appreciate your presence!

Ending that kinda day when your peace is not in your hands!

Some days you feel short of strength and patience that you've practiced over the years!

That kinda day, when you feel helpless & can't do anything about it!

That kinda day, when you feel powerless, despite having all the powers!

That kinda day, when you feel sad, but can't showcase empathy!

That kinda day, when the mind is forced to take over the heart!

That kinda day when you  know your peace is not in your hands!

After my son left for school, I made coffee, sat on the couch and put songs on the TV. I literally did nothing! Didn't make my tiffin, didn't fold the blankets, didn't clean the house! Just left everything just as they shouldn't be, but it didn't bother me!

We always try to be the perfectionist all the time in everything we do! It's okay to be imperfect, it's okay to skip chores , it's okay to have a messy house before leaving for work! The world doesn't turn around if we take a break from these things!

Just these few moments with myself, brought my pieces together and I was back to being the sane person again!

I know it's not a fancy write-up, just as basic as it could be, however, it's a friendly reminder to all the women out there, take a pause every once in a while and take it easy ! Cheers!

As women, we have so many things to take care of, before we can reach our workplace! The day usually starts around 6:30am with morning rush to get our little ones ready for school, making two tiffins (breakfast+lunch), making meals for the day and the list goes on.

From the past few weeks, it's been a struggle coping up due to extreme work pressure and I realised how my mental peace is affected taking care of everything and working non-stop for almost 16 hours a day( house + office ), until I hit the bed around 11pm. This has also affected my behaviour towards my colleagues, my team and people around me. I've been known for being this calm and patient person, however I have lost my cool many times and been rude and unkind to people which hurts me. :(

I realised I need to fix this before I go completely crazy! Guess what I did!

I took a pause today!

In this competitive world,
engrave this into your child's mind,
"You either win or you learn, you never lose!"

A woman’s strength is not in her muscles, it is in her words! So here's some piece of advice to people who feel superior about themselves.

No matter how much qualified you are, your qualification is measured in terms of respect you show towards others!

No matter whatever you have achieved so far, your achievements do not matter if you can't handle them with humility!

No matter what your gender is, your gender doesn't allow you to disrespect anyone!

Whenever you think about disrespecting a woman, think about how you were born into this world.

Whenever you think about disrespecting, offending or gossiping about a woman, think about how you would feel if what you do, happens to your daughter, wife, mother or sister.

Call me old fashioned, but I believe that respecting a woman is one of the most important things to uphold in life!

To all the women out there, even if you come across a tiniest moment of someone being disrespectful, voice out!!
Cuz, if you take that shit for once, it'll be forever!

Be strong, be vocal, cuz- you're not alone!

-

I didn't know my strength,
until I could bear the pain to bring you into this world.

I didn't know I was fearless,
until I protected you from your fears.

I didn't know the power of love,
until I wrapped you in my arms.

I didn't know my art,
until we painted together.

We grew together in this journey, my child.

You be my strength and power,
in the years to come!

I will not sleep tonight,
thinking about the women mistreated tonight, yet every night!

I will not sleep tonight,
thinking about the homeless unfed tonight, yet every night!

I will not sleep tonight,
thinking about the parents left to oldage home tonight, yet every night!

I will not sleep tonight,
thinking about the dreams killed and lost, who once dreamt like a free-bird!

I will not sleep until-
I turn my dreams to reality,
To have all men treat every woman right,
To have all children treat their parents right,
To have all the homeless sleep with appetite.

I will not sleep until I live my dreams again!

We realise, only in absence!

Mom's love - only after you depart.

Sister's care - only when you have to do things by yourself.

Friend's ear - only when you have no one around to hear you out.

Companion's compassion - only when you miss your share of love.

We realize, only in absence!

While we don't value the presence, we certainly realize in absence!

-

Choose to leave when you feel like you are an option! Don’t take yourself for granted , cuz you are worth much more!
