Love is visceral, transcended and fluid. You can love anyone, anytime and anywhere. Love is real and we will witness its full glow during our teens. You can belong to any sexuality, irrespective of gender. There is a whole spectrum of genders and sexualities, which is yet to be explored by mankind. Man and woman or woman and woman or man and man or anything in between, everything is possible in our decade.

I would prefer a startup over a government job. A startup is a rebellious, upbeat and innovative but regular, conventional and boring government that is more sought after by many. Government jobs are hard to come by and so most run after them. People are yet to get the flavour of a startup in India, so I feel most Indians don't know about them and can't give them enough credit.

A concept like feminism is also taken as a token. Token feminism prevails in the realms of our society. Many women claim to be feminists when they are not in reality. Whether it is related to fat-shaming, promoting conventional education or being casteist or not moral policing other women. Women are no longer considered less than equal, and yet women want to take the window seat or not stand in queues.

Fat girl, motor-mouth, rebellious and critic of conventional education, I am talking about myself. People constantly talk about ticking all boxes when taking women into the account. But I didn't fit any of the boxes so I made my own. I have lived in oblivion all my life and created a bubble around me. I have thrived in that bubble and have managed to not budge or cower in fear till now. Society hasn't yet not been able to shove its conventional notions down my throat.

Caste is one of the primary reasons behind the success of many in India. If you look throughout India, you will notice that caste is the mere reason why many have made it big in their life. A surname could get you admission to a premier college or launch you into the big league. Many have a legacy and hereditary rights over the property because they were born into families with reputed surnames.

Chandrashekhar Azad chose to take his own life because he preferred to die than get caught by the British forces. But he is not the sole revolutionary in doing so. Pritilata Wadekar had attacked a British club alone and gunned down many officers. She too like Azad decided to take her own life instead of surrendering to the British. Women revolutionaries have hardly got their due, history has failed them or have we?

Sometimes some people oscillate like a pendulum, to and fro motion. There often retort to opportunistic ways to get things done. Either that means, changing your political affiliations or siding with your enemy. You see these people loitering around in the streets since these scums are the commonest of people. There are many a scumbag floating around that make their devious ways a reality since they have the skin of a snake.

Jerome. K. Jerome is an English humourist who speaks about how the world has now embraced specialisation. To illustrate the point, he talks about a patient reaching out to a hair follicle specialist. Something our very own satirist Harishankar Parshai had once said. He said these days every one is a specialist or a doctorate. He wrote if you pelt a stone while walking it might hit a PhD scholar.

Sometimes you receive flak for your sibling and sometimes she receives a beating for you. Both of us, are each other's greatest cheerleaders, and greatest support. We have stood tall against all odds. We have made it through thin and think times. We have survived through rough patches. It is a relationship tied like the threads of rakhi. Rakhi can have no loose ends if tied well, same with the relationship if the bond is strong the relationship is everlasting.
