The Come Up by Tasmiya

Dear diary, Today I addressed a boy half my age as UNCLE !! Well, I revolted back for being fed up of being called as "AUNTY" even though I am young and unmarried.  I have seen people addressing men my age as "Bhaiyya" i.e big brother and Women my age as "Aunty" and maybe society is Okay with this but I am not and I will continue to revolt. I know I can't change the mindset of whole society but I can atleast try not to become just another same minded person myself.  My opinions might trigger tension and fights but I call it revolution.  There was an aged man who was standing next to the boy whom I addressed as Uncle and he wanted to argue with me saying that boy was just a kid because he was 14 or something but I wasn't ready to argue with him yet so I just moved on. I now feel bad for not answering back that aged man because they are the reason Girls are always symbolized as someone who ages faster than Boys. Next time I am taking every opportunit

Stir and Stir and Stir While stirring my daily dose of proteins with water I often have multiple thoughts running in my mind. Today it was about how much we stir or shake the powder with water to get the perfect drink without a single lump but when it comes to life, we stress about every single difficulty so much that we fear taking up new challenges and risks. We work for hours just to get our eyebrows on fleek, lipstick perfectly applied within the lines and so on  I wonder when we can spend such amount of time making the smallest things perfect, why don't we work on the difficulties that actually matter. As they say "Dar k aage jeet hai", it just takes a slight determination to put all the fear and stress behind and achieve the purpose. Anyone can say anything in theory but what matters is how good you are at practicals. -Sqtasmiya
