How would you describe yourself to someone?
I am my own person 👸
I am an atheist and have no patience for any religious rituals and customs.🙈🙉🙊🐵 But love seeing others participate in festivals with joy and fervour.🔔
I dont care about the jibes and the snide remarks passed after my friends and extended family members realise , I dont have a separate place for the Gods in my lovely house.🏫 But that doesn’t mean I dont love or admire the elaborate and beautiful pooja rooms I see.
As long as I am sticking to my principles of staying away from religious activity and festivals, I am fine with whatever is going around me of whichever faith.

I am a feminist and strongly vouch for gender equality and egalitarianism.🧑🚒 But if a women opts for playing an family role and wants to put family members goals above her individual goals, I respect her decision as long as she has taken it out of free will.🧕 Yes I will still wonder whether it is social conditioning and patriarchal society behind her decision.

I am a strong believer of 1 mankind 1 society. But if someone feels comfortable to stick around with her or his clan.I don’t raise eyebrows .I accept the fears and the insecurities behind this thought process.

I believe in leading a healthy lifestyle and love exercising , thus being very conscious of my weight.🧘 But that doesn’t give me the right to indulge in body shaming anybody or give sermons as to what constitutes an healthy lifestyle.

I love dressing up, with matching accessories and makeup. I always strive to look good and love shopping💃💃 But if someone is comfortable in being in track and tees the whole time, I would not frown and wonder why ?

I sleep at 9.30 pm and get up by 530 am . Strongly believe in the adage Early to bed and early to rise makes one ‘ Healthy, Wealthy and Wise ‘.💤 But I am still able to understand and empathise with the younger generation especially when they hit the bed at 3 am in the morning. On Sundays when I am specially up early by 4 am, and say Good morning to my son incase I happen to see him, and he invariably say Good night Mom 😂😉

I am a pure vegetarian and teetotaller. But I am totally fine sharing the table with a non-vegetarian. The epitome of my acceptance is that my only child is a pure non-vegetarian as he claims.

I am very impatient and feel exasperated with all the Good Morning and gyaan messages I receive on WhatsApp But still admire the tenacity and focus of all my well-wishers who still continue to do so 😷.

I always want to be doing something and I believe in being on my toes all the time. But still totally accept my husband’s laid back and chilled out attitude.

I believe in my Me Time and many a times want to be with me and myself only. But can relate to the neediness and want of companionship also .

I am chilled out but hyper Cool but seething with anger.🤬 Full of empathy but still mean and petty.🥰 Can be loving but also get back at people. Can be open minded but that the same time be adamant and obstinate. Confident but still full of nerves and self doubt. I am an extrovert but still a true introvert in many ways. I am badass and bindass but still some core values imparted by my parents are unshakeable to me. Am I a bundle of contradictions??? Yes Maybe But like Shahrukh says ( I am the biggest fan of Shahrukh, just adore him ), You may either love me or hate me but cannot choose to ignore me .❤️🎉🥳
Quite an elaborated one and interesting read. Your blog has been composed with full honesty and transparency as the person you are. It felt like I have just met you in person and know you since ages. I would call it a speaking blog.
Warm regards.
