Love, at its deepest level, is not always about intensity. After searching for an answer for what feels like forever, I’ve finally understood
Ah, friends – Set of humans we choose to tolerate outside of our immediate family. They’re the ones we share Instagram reels with, complain about work to, and in my case mostly ask deep, philosophical questions like: “How would you feel if you metamorphosed into a giant spider like the one in the story by
They say curiosity is a virtue. We were taught in school to be curious—ask as many questions as you have, no matter how stupid they might sound. But no one warned us that too much curiosity might lead to asking your date, “What holds clouds up in the sky?”—right in the middle of your first kiss.

Jealousy is probably one of the only emotions that is common amongst all of us, believe it or not, I personally feel, jealousy is an emotion that we have felt most in our lives. It’s normal, it’s ok to be jealous but can it be labeled as an “healthy emotion”? When I was a teenager
Last weekend, after an intense work week, I met an old friend for drinks at one of my favourite places where the food is crappy as jail but the vibe is as relaxing as it gets. We indulged in the usual banter, some work talk, some life talk and then we went on to discuss
This is the season of mistletoe kiss, one of the most romantic times of the year when you forget the stress and focus on romance. As a woman who lives in a big city and comes from a small town, Netflix virtually promises that I should be meeting cute guys throughout the month of December.
