Damselz-In-Sanity

As almost everyone knows, Bollywood has always played an integral part in shaping my personality. Right from childhood to teenage, the one nickname I was known for was “The Bollywood Girl”. I have watched several films featuring various unique characters, however, there is only one with which I truly connected with - Naina Talwar, from the movie, “Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani”. Naina and I are similar in ways more than one. She is introduced in the movie as an introverted outcast, a quiet girl who is an aspiring doctor, a software engineer in my case. Throughout her schooling years, she is described as the silent damsel, and has been given the quirky trait of a scholar. Often teased as a “chasmish”, these are just a few instances which make me alike her.  As someone who got past her reservations and shyness to embrace every moment and become an independent, confident individual, Naina taught me a lot. Her wholesome advice at challenging times, “Thora time do, sab theek ho jayega ” is a ...

       Heyyo everyone! With the immense amount of love and success on my previous post , a lot of y'all wanted a part II so here we are :)) Aaj ka post is a myth buster where we tackle a few common misconceptions about ADHD. Without further ado, let's get it to it! Starting off, No. Though sugar intake, watching too much TV, and a chaotic family life can worsen symptoms of ADHD, research shows that they cannot actually cause the condition and be the root of it. It's universally known that high consumption of sugar makes one jittery, but it doesn't mean it leads to a mental disorder. So, throw the idea out of the window that ADHD is caused due to the above. Again, absolutely not . The disorder can also affect teens as well as get carried onto adulthood. ADHD in teens and adults is almost always accompanied by other mental illnesses such as tw: depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder. However, very very few people with the condition seek treatment. Nuh uh. No mental ...

 Heylo everyone! Welcome back <3 This is a topic on which I've been wanting to write for a REALLY long time and finally got the opportunity to.  In today's post we'll be discussing more of "what" ADHD is rather than how it arises and coping methods.  Without further ado, let's get to it! Starting off, What is ADHD? Full Form: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Now when you google this term, the top definition you get looks something like this: A chronic condition including attention difficulty, hyperactivity and impulsiveness. That's all that it gives. Though partly self explanatory, it doesn't convey the whole idea of what exactly this malady is. Let's understand a bit more about it, hmm? ADHD is a condition that affects people's behaviour. People with ADHD can seem restless, may have trouble concentrating and may act on impulse. It is usually diagnosed at an early age but in most cases continues till adulthood. Many children go throu...

 Heyy everyone! Welcome to a fresh new month <3 Today's post is somewhat special. Not only is it a SUPER requested one, it's also a revamp of my very first blog: Starting High School. This post was authored by me almost a year and a half ago when I started high school during a pandemic. Jumpstart to 2 years, offline school began for me - the compulsory one :( and it has not been going as well as expected. Perhaps now is the time when my 'student feels' of stress and anxiety caused by school is kicking in, but nevertheless, I know this feeling is pretty common among my peers and other schoolmates so I chose to throw a bit of limelight on it in today's post! The pandemic induced online studies certainly had a few pros to itself. The biggest one being: Time . I am a grade 10th student so for me, any spare second I find is precious. Now don't get me wrong, going to school is beneficial, however, since you may have lost the rhythm of it, the first few days of it c...
