Pink Is For Girls And Blue Is For Boys, Why?

Now it sort of like a norm with everything pink customized for women and depicting feminity whereas blue and darker colours depicted masculinity.   Hello everyone! It’s been a while since I have written in this platform but I am grateful to all of you who have kept coming to this page and enjoying my world.  As I was deciding what to wear for my birthday in May I saw this pink dress which I had bought for Holi which I hadn’t worn because of the whole pandemic. I was still searching if I could find something else I could where instead of that pink dress when a thought came into my mind, Why am I not wearing pink? Since we are born somehow it is seen that if it’s a girl everything is pink and if it’s a boy everything is blue. Even for gender reveal parties and stuff this colour coordination is used. As the child grows up from birthday parties to clothes to room colours, everything is either pink or blue based on the gender. I guess me not liking pink was sort of a rebellion of my own aga

Sifting through the Past

Hello everyone It's been a while since I have posted anything.  While I was clearing my almirah I found old things of mine that I had created in the yesteryears. You feel so nostalgic when you view such things also you laugh at the fact that you once thought of such things and created them.  I always laugh when I read my old diary or letters I had written a few years ago. In that moment you also realise the value of time and how it is so fast. Also, while you are sifting through the sands of past (my father told me this line and I fell in love with it ever since)  you become grateful and thankful of what you've done, people who have helped you learn those things and it keeps you grounded.  Once a while I recommend everyone to go through old memories and be thankful for them occuring in your life. It will help you be proud of your life and help you be more grateful for it.  On that note I present you with a poem that I wrote 5 years ago which I discovered yesterday wh

Much Anticipated Arrival

Ah! It has arrived  And is deprived Of proper covering  Tattered and torn but with a glow that is surprising. The glow which shows happiness  Of finally having it The hidden joys inside Are ready to be exploded.  Slowly I remove the packaging  My heart is pounding  Finally I see it in front of my eyes That awaited book, in my lap it lies.  

Innovations and creativity

What is creativity? Is it only present in people who do something very unexpected like inventors who we consider as genius and highly creative people. I believe creativity is embibed in our DNA by default. It is up to us to use that creative intelligence. Anything that is done in a new way is creativity. A women is using a different technique to quickly cook a dish is creativity or some children who are poor and want to play music use garbage cans and sticks to create music is creativity. So small innovations are creativity. I am not saying that scientists who make wonderful​ inventions is not creativity but never ever believe that you are not creative. I also think that when we are in trouble then our survival instinct takes over our body and mind, and this is the moment when we become most creative as we desperately need to solve the problem. Well this image shows before:   And the innovation by me:   So never let anyone tell you are not creative. There must be something

Just another day in paradise...

Fly with me and thou shall see The endless mythical sky. The latent beauty of ecstasy The  joy  from overcoming  sorrow The wan sight of darkness The enigmatic sun's prowess. Flowers laughing in the morning The lush greenery of forests The birds prattling over trivial matters The sparkled rain's pitter-patter. A wondrous world will I show you A sight  you've never behold A day to be savoured A day you'll  remember  forever

Developing new skills

Well I always love to do new things and learn as many new skills as I can. So to honour my grandmothers I learned tailoring. Yes tailoring and believe me it was different and as well as difficult. But as people say practice makes anyone perfect so gradually as the time passed I learned how to make new things using a sewing machine. I got so much obsessed with it that I saw stiching lines in clothes and tried figuring how the different sections of clothes were attached to make one attire.😄 My first creation after developing this skill was a wall hanger having pockets which can be used for keeping things. Later on I started making pouches and small bags. I started repairing my mom's dresses when the cn got open or a minor cut took place so why spend money to give to the tailor outside when you have a tailor in your own home😉 Finally I made a kurta which needs more fine tuning but I am still practicing. So one should never give and always try. One should always be ope

Online shopping threatens Bookstores

Online shopping threatens Bookstores Reading books is the most amazing activity. It gives you knowledge on various things and you can live thousands of lives through it. Bookstores are places for buying books. Apart from a library, this place is on the top of favourite places-list of a booklover. Online shopping has become another platform for buying books, amongst many things. The present workaholic generation which has a problem of time shortage, really, loves this platform as it is less time-consuming and the delivery of bought items is prompt even if that item is not available near you. Online users have the benefit of choosing with ease due to various filtering techniques present in the online sites. These sites have all types of items in them which   are very useful for a busy person as he can buy whatever he needs from one platform rather than going to different   shops. It is also easy for a consumer to buy things that are not available in their area. The prices of products
