THE PERSON THAT I ADMIRE THE  MOST  – MY AUNT There are a lot of people in this world that help in shaping our futures and the kind of people we will become when we grow older. We all have this one person that we can share everything with, for me it is my aunt- Purva. She is not a famous celebrity or a billionaire entrepranuer or a star sportsperson but for me she is the best person in the world. It is not because of the adoration we feel towards each other as relatives but because - whether it be encouraging me to stand out in the crowd or recommending good books, she has always been there when I needed her. A few years ago, I was burdened under peer pressure and had lost all hope in myself that is when she gave me the courage to be confident and optimistic. She made me fall in love with my own self and happily look forward to whatever comes next. I have seen her play the role of a mother, wife and daughter-in-law apart from an aunt and I must say she manages ...

I Thought I Was Brave

I thought I was brave but that was just a misconception. or you could call it a hallucination on my part. I, wrapped up in my cozy cocoon, hardly knew what it’s like to spread your wings for the first time and find that one of them is broken.

The pain that drained their small bodies refused to let them live and yet with hardly any energy left, they fought like brave warr...

The Post 370 Era.

-
The historic Constitutional Order that rendered Article 370 and 35A null and void was passed on 5th of August. For seven decades, this 'special status', formed the socio-political identity of the people of Kashmir. But it was never a 'special status', it was only a temporary act meant to lend time to Kashmiris and India to decide the fate of the region and all its people. In theory, removing these acts will allow complete integration of the territories of Jammu and Kashmir into the Indian Union, something which was long overdue. However, those out on the streets beating drums and firing crackers may be celebrating too soon because the real challenges begin now.  NOW, WHAT? When examined thoroughly in the present context, removing the law and creating two UT's from the region are only symbolic measures and do not assure any peace or development. Also, the people of Jammu and Kashmir who are at the center of this issue were blatantly ignored. The move needs to ...
