Three things about me:

• I am currently pursuing bachelors in Maths. Writing, reading, binge-watching and playing violin are hobbies.
• I am obsessed with coffee, novels and keeping my stuff organised. I get super-mad if I don’t find my things at their “alloted” areas.
• I have zero tolerance towards hypocrites.

Answering Ashutosh’s questions:

1.Why did you start blogging?

   Honestly, because I was bored and I had nothing better to do. The one month vacation felt like ages of inactivity. Gosh!

2.When was the last time you had the heartiest laugh?(A happy memory)

    A few days back, I was telling my friends about this weird dream I had a night before, wherein I saw my dad and my little sister fighting and killing snakes that kept jumping out of a huge bucket, that too with swords and at the end of the battle, I saw my mom coming out of a jetplane. I don’t remember what I was thinking about before I fell asleep. We laughed like crazy when I told them about it (Of course, I narrated it all very dramatically 😂)

3.Where would you want to travel to?

     Anywhere and everywhere, if I could. But I think I’d like to begin with my native state, Kerala (India). I have never been to all those beautiful places there which feature on the Google Image Search page. I guess one day I will ❤.

4.Which novel or poem you hold close to your heart?

     Has to be ‘A Thousand Splendid Suns’ by Khaled Hosseini. It was a novel that made me smile, laugh, blush, and cry throughout. Plus, it taught me not to take for granted, the comfortable life I have. 

5.What would you want to change about your life? Why?

     I think I have a pretty good life…it’s not perfect but it’s good enough to be lived. So if there’s anything I want to change, it is myself. Not too much, I just want to be a little less lazy so that I can skip calculating how to get my two little siblings working for me 😂

“Obsession”

And one fine day, I realised that one could fall in love through mere words ❤

It is not ‘innocence’, it is ‘stupidity’ !

Have you ever come across people who pretend that they do not know or do not understand certain things because knowing these things makes one ‘bold’ (whatever that means) ?

You might have, at some point of your life, especially if you live in a society where sex is a taboo. I have had this glorious opportunity, more than once.

I do not understand why people, especially young women, think that not understanding what a vagina or a penis or sex is, makes them look ‘innocent’.

Well, my sincere apologies for sounding rude, but your ‘innocence’ is cringe-worthy and irritating.

And, I am not exaggerating any of it. A couple of days back, a friend called me up to ‘know’ what these things are. She’s 21 and she’s a law student. She was studying the rape laws and the words ‘vagina’, ‘penis’, ‘urethra’, ‘sexual intercourse’ etc. were bothering her because these are ‘bad words’ and she didn’t know what these were because she did not have biology in school.
Yeah, right. I don’t know what continents and oceans are because I didn’t have geography in school.

Ladies, you’d have my sympathies (and others’ too, I assume) if you were 10 but since you are not, kindly behave like it and show some mercy on our facial muscles. They really don’t like to frown. And frankly, playing dumb just doesn’t look cute!
(No offense but this was for the lovely ladies that do this. The ones that know themselves that they do this.)

I am not denying that there are genuine women who actually do not understand such things. Of course there are, and they need to make themselves aware of such basic things. But I am not talking about them here.

I think a lot of this comes from the patriarchal society we live in, that teaches women to remain chaste and labels any women who defies the norms, as a ‘bad woman’.
Women need to understand that they are the ones in control of their own sexuality and there is nothing ‘wrong’ or ‘bad’ about wanting to be open about it.

Please share these things with them if you know any ‘dumbsels’ in distress. They’ll find you blunt and rude but they’ll eventually grow up and understand that you were right. Plus, you can save yourselves from watching them overact.
