Cultivating Inner Peace: A Guide to Spiritual Wellness
Cultivating Inner Peace: A Guide to Spiritual Wellness Many people turn to spirituality as a deep well during challenging times in their lives. It strengthens inner serenity and gives us a feeling of unity with something bigger than ourselves. For each person, the concept of spirituality has a different meaning. As diverse as the people who practice them are the various spiritual beliefs and customs. The variety of impacts they can have on our mental health is one thing they all have in common. Our mental health is impacted by spirituality in many different ways. Your beliefs or sense of meaning and purpose are what make you spiritual. It is the source of your life's sense of significance or worth. Spirituality is not the same as religion, despite what many people may believe. However, they are connected. It is possible to be spiritual without adhering to a particular religion. People who identify as religious may adhere to a particular faith and may be associated with particular groups or customs.

What hope looks like
When the cat started speaking I knew it was the death of me. I wiped my tears as the cat walked and sat beside me, as the moonlit sky adorned in the radiance of the moon. She stared at me and with the beauty of her emerald-green eyes, she whispered," Don't shed tears for the ones who won't even remember about your existence. I wanted to say something but alas the alarm clock rang and I looked in the mirror. It was time for me to let go.

I wish the scars of the soul could be seen
I wish the scars of the soul could be seen The scars that are inflicted deep within the soul often run deeper than the ones that are visible to the naked eye. Pain in its amorous embrace sets its fangs deeper into the crevices of the acts and syllables recorded in its intangible zest. Our heart knows moments that it tries its best to bury inside the depths of its brevity. There is both beauty and severance in the transitory moments of life. It has the most radiant days and the most desperate of nights. There are moments of light and joy and then there are moments of darkness, of hours of plight that behold and bemoan on us for being pure.

Beyond the Glamour: Addressing the Dark Realities of Women and Violence in Cinema
India is home to the world's largest film industry, sometimes referred to as Hindi cinema or Bollywood. Bollywood produces approximately a thousand films annually, enjoys widespread recognition, and has a sizable global fan base. The thriving film industry regrettably, for a considerable amount of time now, there has been discussion about how women are portrayed in Indian movies. In Indian cinema, objectifying and sexualizing women has always been the norm rather than the exception. The film industry still promotes misogyny, patriarchy, and gender inequality despite the nation's quick social and economic advancement. In this article, I dive deeper into the normalization of misogyny, patriarchal mindsets and crime against women in various Indian films and how toxic it is to portray this as an acceptable standard.

A reminder for the rest of the year
I hope you have experienced moments that bewildered the light in you, I hope in the moments of darkness, you have held onto the hand of sanguinity. In the moments where you wanted to cry, I hope you have sobbed your heart out over whatever makes you sad, in the atrocities of time and the beauty of life, I hope you had your moments of celebrating the beauty of you and the growth you have embraced. To have moments of doubt and regret for not being able to achieve what you desired to achieve, mourn over who you were, and embrace the joy of who you are and the light that you are about to step into.

The Silent Resilience
The Silent Resilience I often talk about the resilience and strength that lies within us to be the best version of ourselves everyday. The growth that envisions the dreams we embody, and the manifestations we yearn for to come true. All of them are reflections of how the world within us forges itself, whether we are at peace with ourselves or our existence belies in the chaos of being alive.
