Sitting on bed with hair down and back resting on a big cushion calling it a day and watching my favorite drama on Netflix – Never I Have Ever, story of an Indian teen growing up in America. Yes I am a teen drama person, really want to keep it light for there’s always much […]
There are many times in life when we do something that we donโt intend to. Why do we do something without an intention? Because all the negative feelings like hatred, anger, frustration, guilt etc. do not work with Intention. These feelings only know destruction and even though these can motivate you for a short while, […]
Of all the beautiful reads I had, the one that I could not get over was Rachael Lippincott’s five feet apart. I remember waking up for hours in the middle of the night, checking up my tab and having the long read. Intriguing, emotional, heart-wrenching and absorbing is how I define my favourite book. The […]
Picture thisโฆ A cup of coffee in one hand and a book in the other hand sitting on a swing in the balcony lost in my fantasy world. Nobody wanting me to do anything. No calls like โWhatโs for dinner? Where are my Pajamas? โWhen will the report get submitted? Or declarations like โMaid has […]
There’s something about the prefix ‘Un‘ when attached to a word. It takes a simple word and reverses it – making it sound so much cooler. ‘Unfinished’ – there couldn’t have been a better word to describe her, she is indeed far from finished. She – Priyanka Chopra Jonas (as it says on the cover […]
Some 15 years ago when I was pursuing my MBA, our college had arranged a Creativity Workshop. The whole campus was filled with booths having many creative activities but one that caught my attention was the pottery booth. It was messy and not too crowded. So, the first impression was that there’s nothing interesting there, […]
If you ask me what brings me joy, there are a lot many. Again if I have to choose, it is indeed hard for me, because my joy seems to link to the mental state i am going through and what makes me happy then. It might not give me the same joy on another […]
Have you ever been in love? (with a human being โ can be but not necessarily a boyfriend/ girlfriend/ spouse) I can vouch for it that most of us have! At least for a brief phase . . . Love is an emotion that needs expression. Much goes wrong in relationships because of deficient expression, […]
When I was in college (graduation 3rd year), I read two books as a part of our syllabus – The Great Expectations by Charles Dickens and Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen. Both are great works. Human relations, follies, expectations, insecurities, vulnerabilities – mainstay of these works. Me being a romantic to the core person […]
When it comes to joy after hardship, the first thing that comes to my mind is my first pregnancy, where after complications in pregnancy and an extremely painful vaginal delivery, I had my bundle of joy thereafter, by the grace of God, also mentioned in –https://wordpress.com/post/candlesonline.wordpress.com/9979 Another incident, which actually isnโt quite a real hardship, […]

A great new take on fairy tales. I’ve never thought about it before, but they are all stereotypes of the helpless girl needing a man to sort things out for her. Not very good role models for the 21st century.

Thank You So Very Much for taking out time to read and comment. It’s true, Lil girls look up to these Princesses, they are their role models. And I think they should learn to be strong and determined. They shouldn’t need a man to save the day. They are absolutely capable of doing it themselves.
