Celebrating Freedom



Today is indeed a very special day, because apart from celebrating Independence Day, I will be celebrating the first anniversary of my blog. As my baby blog turns one, I sincerely want to thank each and every one who has been a part of my blogging life- brands that collaborated, blog readers, social media followers, photographers and all those who have contributed to my blog in any way.


Since it is Independence Day, I want to share my idea of freedom. To me, freedom is being yourself. Most of us try to fit ourselves into other people’s image of us. Trying to be the ideal one in every role that we play is like white light giving up its pristine hue and splitting into seven colours forever. Even though each of the spectrum colours is beautiful, they can never replace the beauty of white light. In the same way, no matter how much you change yourself to fit into the many roles that you play, you must never lose your essence, for the real person behind those masks, is irreplaceable.


Another aspect of freedom is, possessing the power to be happy. Yes happiness is power, in fact a Superpower! Once you have this superpower problems lose their significance. You’re then free from negativity and that- is freedom in its real sense.

The third aspect of freedom is- living a balanced life. Most of us don’t realize that we are actually slaves. From little things like our cell phone to greater things like our goals, we are enslaved. Initially we chase our goals and with time, our goals get so powerful that they start pulling us and we just go with the flow. Your goal becomes your master and dictates you to give up on family time, leisure and even your own health. So to me, freedom is having command over every goal and every object that surrounds your life (including your smart phone). So next time if you want to experience real freedom, don’t cancel your outing because of an overtime meeting and, chuck those phone calls while you’re having your meal! 


Being Clear, Strong and Sorted- to me that’s freedom in a nutshell. And each day I strive to get closer to the zenith of Freedom.

 Hope you liked this post!

Happy Independence Day!
Love,
Bhavs

Diary Of A Single Girl

 Wednesday, 2nd March, 2022 It's already the third month of an eventful year! While entering 2022 with a sleepy head at home I didn't have the slightest idea what beautiful surprises were coming up, or well, the wonderful opportunities that I would be creating for myself. Today, as I sit under the morning sunshine on a cold sunny day in the Himalayas, the last sixty days of my life bring a feeling of exhilaration- the bliss of learning and rising higher. The tides of life can be much to handle at times. But it's supposed to be that way, else how would we find a better version of ourselves? In Search Of.... We're all searching for something- from materialistic possessions to true love and above all, a happy life. Well for me, my short-term goals were clear- beaches and snow....lolz...yes the travel bug. And why did I want these? Because they were a part of my ultimate goal of having a beautiful collection of memories of life. Goa February is a month that makes most singl

I Am Precious

“It’s always the right time to start being yourself…for in the chaotic journey of life, there is nothing more Precious than your real Essence” These are the days of podcasts and audio-visual content. But I find it liberating to write/ type down my thoughts. Hence this blog will always be special to me…after all, it was a Birthday Gift to myself in 2016! Talking about gifts, the idea of self-gifting always clicks to me. I see it as an essential routine of self-love and self-care, leading me to perceive myself as a special person (without being a narcissist). Losing Oneself in the Journey We all play different roles at each stage of life. Starting off with being a good kid, an ideal student, the perfect partner, the right employee or a successful entrepreneur, the best parent….too many expectations! Most of these roles involve other people and groups. And while these different set-ups can nurture absolutely well, being a part of groups can be taxing on one’s real self. The other

Rejected!

 So, Rejected? And... Feeling dejected? I  don't like these words but this rhyme fits well. Welcome to the world of non-acceptance! Rejections, no matter how insignificant, are usually painful. When I brought up this topic with my Instafam through individual discussions, there was one common thing for most: Rejection= Mind Chaos Hey wait, did you just remember one of your rejection moments? Please hold on, I gotta share some of my experiences first :) So here are some selected episodes from my kitty of rejections (all are real) I was once rejected at a matrimonial meet because I had not applied makeup. The incident dates back to my pre-blogging days. It was a formal family meeting with a fair-skinned Sindhi lawyer from Mumbai. And while his aunt enjoyed intellectual discussions with me, the guy and his mom were super disappointed with my simple salwar suit and 'no make-up' face. A short conversation with the Gucci guy reminded me of the character Suhaas from the movie 3 idi
