Everyone talks about school exams, board exams, entrance exams, and competitive exams. Adorable. The real pressure begins when you start dating a woman. Because, my friend, welcome to the most unpredictable exam of your life. No syllabus. No timetable. No sample papers. And heavy negative marking. Men walk around thinking life has only three major…
28 Days, 28 Posts, One Changed Mind
At the beginning of February, this sounded like a cute, harmless idea. “I’ll write every day for 28 days.” Very optimistic. Very fresh-notebook energy. Very “how hard can it be?” I had registered for the #WriteAPageADay challenge by Blogchatter and decided to treat it like a real commitment. One prompt a day. One post a…
Writing My Story : Day 28 of #WriteAPageADay
Prompt: What writing gives you that nothing else does? I like a lot of things in life. Decadent desserts. Long walks. Music that hits straight in the chest. Conversations that stretch past midnight. But writing? Writing is different. Writing isn’t something I do. It’s somewhere I go. When I’m writing, something strange happens. My brain…
The Questions I’m Afraid to Answer : Day 27 of #WriteAPageADay
Prompt: The Questions I’m Afraid to Answer There are two kinds of questions in life. Safe ones. “What time is it?” “Did you eat?” “Chai or coffee?” Easy. Civilised. Respectable. And then there are the dangerous questions. The ones where the truth will either start a fight, hurt someone’s feelings, or expose you completely. So…
This Is Where the Story Turns : Day 26 of #WriteAPageADay
Prompt: If your life had chapters, what would this present one be called? If my life had chapters, this would be the one where everything quietly changes. If someone peeked into my life right now, they might think nothing much is happening. No big announcements. No dramatic highs. No spectacular crashes. Just… quiet. Fewer people….
Promises to Keep: Day 25 of #WriteAWordADay
Prompt: A Promise you keep making to yourself I don’t make dramatic promises to myself anymore. No five-year plans. No midnight reinventions. No “from Monday my life will change” speeches. Life has taught me something very unromantic and very useful: Grand promises are exhausting. Small ones save you. So now, I keep just one. A…
Home: Honor Owning My Energy : Day 24 of #WriteAPageADay
I used to think a home meant walls, windows, and furniture. Turns out, that’s just a house. Over the years, my definition of home kept evolving. From a place I could call mine, to a house I owned, to something far less tangible and far more meaningful. Different stages of life bring different understandings. For…
Energy Leakage and Discernment : Day 23 of #WriteAPageADay
Prompt: The advice you ignore but know is right. There’s a piece of advice I’ve heard my whole life. From friends. From therapists. From books. From that one brutally honest voice in my own head. “Stop giving so much of yourself away.” Simple. Logical. Extremely sensible. Also? The advice I routinely ignore. For the longest…
Day Dreaming: A Day I Would Happily Relive : Day 22 of #WriteAPageADay
Prompt: A day you would happily relive Some days don’t explode with fireworks. They don’t come with big announcements or life-changing news. They just… glow quietly. And somehow, those are the days that stay. If someone asked me, “What day would you happily relive?” It wouldn’t be a milestone. Not a birthday. Not some dramatic…
Of Foods and Moods : Day 21 of #WriteAPageADay
Prompt: What Your Favourite Food Reveals About You (A slightly unscientific, completely honest personality test) I don’t trust people who say, “Oh, I’ll eat anything.” No, you won’t. Everyone has a favourite food. The one you crave on bad days. The one you order without looking at the menu. The one that feels like home…
