Don't judge me

-

Don't judge my tans
They are tokens of my adventurous travels
My tans define me,
My tans are proof I defy the conventional standard of womens beauty
My tans defines the feminist in me
People  say tall dark and handsome
Why not dark and beautiful
Let's make our own standard of beauty
Fear of tans wont limit the wanderer and the traveler in me

 Don't judge my scars
They are the memories of my adventures
Don't judge my  extra fat
They are the smile of my moms face , after I eat the sweets and dishes she presented
They are the extra nibble of sweets offered by my dear feiend
And the workout I missed to spend extra time with my loved ones on a busy working day

 Don't judge my dark circles
They are the late night work to meet targets of my career aspirations

 Don't judge my looks
Look beyond that
Come have a hearty conversation with me
And then don't judge my actions , success or failure.
Let me be me
Let me be fearless of worlds judgement
Let me explore
Let me wander
Let me learn
Let me evolve

    Hey Puja.. hope you are doing good. Never got a chance to meet you in person. Found you via insta. I should admit that your posts are too good. I can't resist myself in visiting your page often. Good job done. Keep writing and keep smiling (both suits you well ;) ). Hope to meet you someday.

    -- Your secret admirer

A memoir of the past

-
Past is beautiful. You always remember the good and forget the bad. May be that is why we always miss our past life, the childhood,the unmarried life, the college life and the school life. We forget the difficulties and challanges that were present in the past, but always miss the happy moments. We remeber the laughter and gossip sessions of school, But we forget the difficult task of waking up early for school bus and scoldings of teachers and parents. We remember the beautiful hostel days of college with friends, the classroom fun time, but we forget the long college hours, inconvenience of a distant washroom in hostel, burden of assignments and semester exams. We forget the plenty days of boredom and loneliness of unmarried life, but we remember all the caeefree and adventrous days of that life. This makes me conclude that life is always full of good and bad. We anyways will forget the bad eventually, so why to cry over them now. Accept the life the way it comes and yo...

Realisation hits a lonely soul

So I came to a new country last week to settle for a year. The office remains almost same as in India, a little less facilities may be e.g. no free coffee vending machines. Singapore it is. I was excited about this. I always wanted to settle into a new country on my own. I always wanted to see the life abroad.  I was super excited.  I was earning and saving decent in India and had a higher paying job offer, and many close friends there. I had a fully setup beautiful home to stay and a familiar and friendly flatmate, who was at times, a great company.  I had everything figured out in India I felt, I knew of great shopping destinations offline and online. I had a huge collection of dresses and shoes and handbags and you name anything. I was in love with my possessions. I had my family nearby.  But I wanted to come out of my comfort zone and experience a new dimension of life. I was always curious about how people in other country stay.  So I gave up my comfortabl...

Friendship, travel

So I wanted to meet my dearest college friend Soni. We were close in college and became closer at our first workplace. We were at the same location for training. Then we we moved to different companies and then different cities. So we had hardly met in last few years, yet the modern day technology kept us close through phones and social media. It was end of the year and both of us wanted a break from routine life. Besides sharing each others secret, we do share common interest in travelling. She lived in Gurgaon and I lived in Bangalore. We decided to meet in Goa on a 5 day trip. Goa where we could be lost in nature and attend late night parties too. It is overwhelming to meet a person so close , after such a long time, a person who has seen you grow and has grown with you. All of us have one friend who knows us in and out, who we trust with our darkest thoughts and actions, without the fear of being judged. Soni is that kind of friend, we resonate thoughts, it is like when we a...
