Currency Ban. I hope the internet jokes are helping you remain calm while standing in queue for cash withdrawal near ATMs. Respect your patience, but I am afraid you might lose it very soon. I had a trust in Modi, like we all of us do, so for the first two days, I myself was busy only scrolling those internet memes, till the situation got me and my family. Old customers of my very own store aren't willing to make payments, nor are my husband's clients. For how long would this go? India is a country where most of the transactions are done in cash. Even when its online shopping, I and many others used to opt for "COD". Along with it, the banknotes which now have been declared illegal, represented more than 86% of cash which is in circulation. How did Modi take such a bold step which can affect the economy pretty bad for months to come? Maybe he has a plan, I think. But, right now all I can see is that the streets are empty, and Modi isn't even here to look

Honestly, we do not like being annoyed but the world is a bitch and we always tends to be more and more agitated if things do not pan out our way, right? When I have some important work to do, my dog keeps bumping the toy on my keypad or grabs my footwear and starts chewing it, in a hope that I would give him attention. It sounds cute, I know but it frustrates me as what I want is just a little bit more focus while I do whatever I am doing. It is just not about it, even when I have few minutes and I think, "Okay, now I am going to clean my room, make my bed and read a novel for an hour", the doorbell rings or it's either my phone. And, when I don't get that particular free "sunday", I get super annoyed and exhausted. I shout, I scream and then I feel like crying.                                         Irritation. I am pretty sure, I am not alone. Here are ways I have decided to cope up with. Whenever I feel like screaming at my dog, (it's usuall

There is something about those women or girls who never had a high pitch in their voice. No, I am not saying I am attracted to them but I have always thought of being one of them. I know what you might say, Be yourself. But the kid in me always wanted to grow up and be those sincere girls who seem like they never freak out. They are the ones who you talk to and think how peaceful they are. No, I have never met a man or a boy like that. I guess, it's a trait of women only. I am a bit loud and happy-go-lucky person. I laugh out loud, clapping my hands, like I am a seal. I know people like my company but this way, I think I am never at peace. I am always looking out for something. Either I am too sad or I am too happy. There has never been a time, when I was neutral. You know what I mean, right? I log into google and do the most useless thing of all, type the question "How to be balanced?" And while doing all the things they suggest like Keeping a journal an

There comes a point in your life, basically in your early twenties, when you start to look too much into future. You have all these ideas about how you want your life to be and who you want to be, This is why this time comes to be the hardest as it requires you to change or move away from your comfort zone. It is when you start listening to yourself more than you ever did. It is this time when friends start being less important and life starts being more. You look for your role models and start learning from what they did and what they did not. You create your own ways. Some choose to talk about it loud and some choose to plan everything on a personal ground before reaching out. But while you are figuring out what you actually desire, the exposure of what other's are doing influences you more. One starts doubting their very own ideas and prefer working on what others have been. In the middle of the maddening crowd and people earning money to have the best of everything, differ
