When I was younger I strongly believed in the notion of fate. I was less ‘free will’ and more ‘everything happens for a reason’, largely because my mum’s always been very religious and also because I grew up watching nothing but Bollywood and Disney movies! However, as the years went on my perspective began to change. I … More What Goes Around Comes Around
Everything happens for a reason— I’m sitting on my bed on a Saturday night, in my polka-dot purple onesie, wondering just how much truth is in that statement. Does everything in life pan out the way that it does as part of a master plan? A master plan that has an end result that’s guaranteed to … More Everything Happens For A Reason?
The silent treatment is a passive-aggressive action that we resort to for a number of reasons: to attempt to control a situation, as a form of punishment, to test boundaries and to avoid confrontation. But I think that sometimes we forget just how powerful silence can be, not to mention painful. A lot of the time saying … More The Silent Treatment
Ok, so earlier today I decided to take one for the team and make a coffee-run on my lunch break. Starbucks was packed out as per usual. With the only alternative being a pop-up Costa that was a good 15 minute walk away, I reluctantly pulled off my scarf and gloves, took my place in line … More Insecurities
I’ve come to a conclusion: having too many options causes nothing but trouble. I was sitting on my bed browsing through Netflix for almost two hours last night trying to choose a film to watch and what was the end result? I got tired, gave up and went to sleep, there was just too much … More Overchoice
Is it just me or has this entire year gone by in a flash? I mean come on, I feel like only yesterday it was February, I blinked and suddenly we’re a week away from December?! How?! How are we already seeing advent calendars, Christmas lights and Starbucks’ festive drinks when I still have uneaten … More Father Time
Do you believe that there’s one person on this planet who was made for you and vice versa? That we all have one special person who we’re destined to be with forever and ever? I’m not so sure if I do. Don’t get me wrong, I do believe that soul-mates exist (growing up watching Bollywood movies … More Soul-Mate?
It can be so miserable at times to live in England: the country in which it rains 99% of the time. Especially now as we’re approaching Autumn and the days are getting noticeably shorter, I find myself wondering every day, did we even have a Summer?! Now if you work in an office like me, you … More Pathetic Fallacy
Over the past couple of days we’ve all seen the harrowing photographs of Aylan Kurdi: a little boy of three years old and probably no more than three feet tall. Wearing a red t-shirt and blue shorts, he was washed up on the Turkish shores as he attempted to reach sanctuary with his mother and five … More R.I.P Humanity?
‘Sharan you’re wrong’— I don’t tend to hear that phrase very often, probably because I conveniently develop selective hearing whenever someone appears to be on the verge of saying it to me! If you didn’t know by now, I’m strongly inclined to believe that I’m always right. But of course the reality is that I’m … More The Besties
