In fact, the Indian press has its roots in vernacular newspapers which run till day to cater to the majority of the grassroots population which is mainly Hindi speaking. Hence, it can be established that local dilaect holds umpteen importance for any campaign or cause in the country. And when one talks about campaigns and cause, the rapid emergence and impact of internet, digital platforms cannot be avoided.
You might believe something based on some past references, facts, opinions or assumptions. Our beliefs are driven by our generalizations about what we have learned could lead us to pain & pleasure. Our belief system is not necessarily correct. Interestingly, we are driven by our beliefs.

My therapist (man, you know you’ve lost any fucks to give when you start a blog post with those two words) has a pretty interesting policy. Actually, as far as I know it’s the same for any NHS mental health services across the UK. The policy is as follows – although I’m paraphrasing:
If you don’t turn up to an appointment without calling ahead first, you’re immediately discharged from the service. If you cancel two appointments without giving at least 24 hours of notice, you’re also discharged from the service.
When I first reached the top of the waiting list and started receiving these appointments, I was certain this policy was going to be the absolute bane of my existence. In fact, by the time of my third appointment I’d already used my one allowance as far as cancelling within 24 hours goes. This meant that for the remainder of…

Do you consider flirting cheating?
Such a tricky little word. No, if we are going with the Merriam-Webster definition, but this is life and definitions take on a whole new meaning. Let me explain.
According to Merriam Webster, the word Flirt means: to behave amorously without serious intent. Now, I’m pretty sure we have all done it, to some degree at one point in our lives.
You know, the innocent batting of the eye lashes to get a large french fries instead of the small you ordered, or the coy wink for an extra spray of whip cream on your caramel frappe. We both know that this little exchange is not going beyond this little exchange (I’m sorry if you weren’t aware that it wasn’t going further) but I just wanted the fries.
Sometimes kindness can be mistaken for flirting, which creates for awkward situations. Just because I like your…

Sometimes when I talk on Twitter (or even this blog!) I get questions about the abbreviations I use, so I thought I’d make this list to help newbie bloggers & book community members get acquainted with some of the terminology!
It’d be a total pain typing out the words “Young Adult” every time I write YA, and so I hope this list becomes a resource! If I remember any more acronyms, I’ll make sure to update this list with them.
Also, if you think I’m missing anything let me know! I’d love to add it on so this list is more comprehensive.
I really hope this is helpful, and totally do not hesitate to ask if you’re confused about an acronym’s definition! I’m here to help!
NOTE: When talking in the book community, sometimes people use intentionally vague abbreviations (i.e. MM could be Marissa Meyer or Maura…

Clipart
My roommate and I have a tapestry hung in our living room that declares, “Be your own kind of beautiful.” This implies that the meaning of beauty varies, and even that each person creates his or her own definition of beautiful. Furthermore, we ascribe beauty to a number of images that draw contrary emotions. We behold an idyllic landscape and call it beautiful, then a novel wrought with sorrow, and even a suicide.
Are we applying the term too broadly, or does it simply have a broad meaning?
Culture, it might be argued, affects what a community accepts as beautiful. Standards of beauty change with history, as in China where bound feet once represented feminine beauty. From this perspective, beauty has meaning over subjectively; we adopt a “beauty is in the eye of the beholder” stance. What, then, becomes of beauty’s position as a transcendental element?

You’re a very complex and unique individual. What does your health look like? Everyone’s perfect picture of health will look just a little different. Wellness isn’t about being the skinniest or most buff person in the room, it’s all about being happy and feeling healthy, and finding workouts that work for you. It’s also not about eating a salad for every meal of every day. A good rule to follow is, “everything in moderation”; practice living a life that you love that is healthy and sustainable in the long-term.
Wellness is a very holistic thing with many important aspects. Your wellness isn’t only physical but also very much about how you’re feeling mentally. Many times, when one vital part of your life is off balance, it puts off the rest of your life.
Some (but not all) vital aspects of your wellness include your…

In current social media standards, I would describe self-care as “sexy”, bubble baths, wine, face masks, #selflove, #treatyourself but what is the point in all those things. Personally, these forms of self-care have never been realistic to me. Also, who can afford these kinds of self-care on a regular basis because as a struggling student I certainly cannot.
Webster’s dictionary describes self-care as “care for oneself” so if this is how we describe self-care couldn’t we say eating vegetables is self-care or going to the dentist is self-care. These things absolutely are self-care, but no one posts this stuff on social media because it’s not sexy enough.
The term self-care is extremely important in the realm of mental health as someone who had struggled with their mental health for me self-care has been making sure I brush my teeth twice a day or having three meals a day. Self-care shouldn’t…

Self
care-
a word
you often come across in self help books or perhaps read an article or two
about in cosmopolitan. A simple concept which is often poorly explained.
So what
actually is self care?
It’s
anything you do to feel good about yourself and to be in a better , more
positive space of mind. It’s self compassion and self love.
However, it’s important to know that not everything that feels good is self care. Drugs, alcohol, over eating and other risky businesses only provide temporary relief. The difference between these unhealthy coping mechanisms and self care is that the latter is uncontroversially good for you.
Quite often we treat self care as a luxury and save it as remedies for ‘that one bad day’. It’s important know that if you practice self care more often your mind and body would cope up with those ‘bad days’ a…

Admittedly, I have never really been interested in self care until this year. This could be due to society’s approach to mental health becoming much more open. Or the fact that the internet is now full of relatable quotes about cancelled plans and taking days off to yourself.
