The Khushi's Pen

⚠ DISCLAIMER!! ⚠ Dream investments are subjugated to societal risks, examine all fickle behaviour-oriented people carefully. "I have a dream." "Save it for later," "Keep dreaming you are still young. Dream more," are some of the most rampant unfiltered opinions I've heard all around society. "Sometimes some dreams are too big to fit inside a small piggy bank." It seems the society is still unable to comprehend it. Why save dreams? When you can have a waterfall of them, every day! One of the only things which are free, yet worthy and beautiful! Saving, of course, reaps benefits. But, BEWARE the case with Dreams isn't the same. It is the reciprocal of how one deals financially. Despite dreams, financial planning comes along with social support. Plan your dreams accordingly. Be wise in selecting the horizon of your dream. Because, believe me, if the direction is right; be there any odds you know, all of them you can fight. For you are a co...

Life is a journey. But, the irony is, it is a journey with no U-turns. But zig-zags. It is both- a linear and a curvy road plunged with barricades and stones. The obstructions encountered are indicative of the spontaneous, unpredicted dilemmas life throws at one. Dilemmas are always two-faceted. They pose the superpower to either lift one up from self-doubt to self-worth or are equipped to drown one into layers of self-doubt and utter disgrace. Sometimes it may be exhausting, draining you out of energy beans. You may experience myriad feelings, from giving up to abandoning. But, you won't. Yes, because you won't be able to. Because the only way out is through. Just like to let out the carbon dioxide, we need to let in the oxygen. Similarly, to let out the negativity, you need to let in the positivity. You are in the eye of the storm, with the wheel steer. Drive yourself out of the eye. Infuse yourself with trunkload doses of positivity. A dose of positivity a day removes a ston...

Lost somewhere, Plastered in shattered catacombs; Leaving us to wonder where, Our mental health has boarded to where people ain't numbs. Mental Health is the divergent product of those factors which are unique to our bodies. "One size fits all" does not imply in the case of Mental Health. A well-executed approach needs to be deployed to instil it within humankind. How can we imply that? Right-space can bridge the misconceptions prevalent between Mental Health and Physical Health. Having to choose between the two is irrational and impossible. A vehement preference for one amongst the two can prove degradative for bodily homeostasis. There is an ardent dire to stop stigmatizing Mental Health disorders. Let us admit the fact, that the pandemic has fueled the need for mental healthcare. Whether aware or unaware, but we are all ensnared to disrupted mental health. It can't sprout in a fraction of seconds, it had been since the word 'pandemic' was etched in our mind...

- 𝒂 𝒖𝒏𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒂𝒍 𝒍𝒂𝒘 A force is any power that poses the ability to compel in a physical, moral, or intellectual manner. The absence of this integral component in any sphere of life results in the outcome being null and void. Just like an engine-driven vehicle needs refuelling to pace ahead smooth and glitch-free. Similarly, the intrinsic motivation-driven human-like vehicle also needs to incubate the Ikigai of one's life. Attention, Attraction, and Affection are the three tyres of a tricycle. The psyche of life also approves of the fact that they act as catalysts of life. 'Attention' is the first act one undertakes to build a rapport. Don't pay attention, invest it. Only when you are aware and attentive to your surroundings, you are a step closer to your deepest desires and fulfilling your unfulfilled chasms. And, one only invests his/her attention to a being or thing, when they find it amusing. Be that 'interesting something'. It is a well-cited fact...

"In a world beaming with signals, some despondent souls still crave connections." The concept of valence- positives and negatives, and the notion of attraction is not only confined to Science but also Psych. What matters is the hairline difference being, opposites do not attract, they repel. According to Maslow's Need Hierarchy Theory, the sense of attachment comes third from the bottom of the five primeval human needs. Humans are ensnared, and scared. They are vulnerable. It is only the fruitful product of unparalleled love and spontaneous belonging that mortal beings find themselves akin to those around. Having a person you can count on, counts. It not only helps you revamp your broken heart but also becomes a guiding factor, brings you out of the darkness towards light, and drags you out of loneliness towards loveliness. We are all a gigantic puzzle, but with individual identities as the pieces of the humungous puzzle called- Mankind. Plastered with molten lava of love...

Aren't we all cactus and roses simultaneously? Aren't we all at times, thorny-like cactus and Then at times, soft-like rose petals? Or, let us admit that- We all have encountered instances where in the same situation, we have reacted differently to two or more people. Why, why so? Just 'cause we have that rose-like soft corner for some(-one) whilst Owing to personal grudges spiny-needle-like thorns for yet other. Why do we forget, we all are made up of- Harmony, and Love. Why don't we let it treasure trove?

A magnet has two poles, any question has either a yes or a no. All human relations have either attraction or repulsion and there's no in-between. Isn't it amusing, how there's a duality co-relation in all the subtleties? To pop the myth busters further, there are two shades of people. Under Adult Psychy, no human possesses a dilute nature of both the extremes, rather has only one dominant extreme- either Optimism or Pessimism. And, there's no in-between. But, taking out the 'mean' (getting a touch of Mathematics), there are exceptional cases too; who are none, neither optimist nor pessimist. Then, what pigeonhole do they subdue under, you'd probably be musing. Right? They are the ones who oversee subtle aspects of things, they are the ones who tend to be unknown to known, they are the ones who act blindfolded over minutest things, they are the ones who deem everything is normal. But then, what is normal? Normal is nothing, nothing is normal; more than a drye...
