 I cannot believe I'm about to expose myself like this.     Deep breaths.  Calm down. (I'm Kevin in this picture.) Hey everyone and welcome backzo to month 33 of #faltufridays! I have always been petrified by this one thing (wait wait, I'll expose it soon - right now I need to clickbait) that has made my childhood (and teenage) a living hell. I mean literally.  There hasn't been a single party or celebration where this "thing" hasn't marked its grand presence and left me terrified.  Yes, guys. You guessed it right (I'm guessing lol) I have an irrational fear of Balloons. I know it sounds extremely stupid, but yes. It is true. If you ask me for the reason behind this fear, I have no clue. I discovered it when I was 4 at a birthday party and a magician had come to perform. With what my vague recollection entails, I remember seeing a glazed balloon being cut into half by an axe, making a booming sound, a brief moment where I felt that I had fainted, and t...

 Hello everyone!     Welcome backzo :) Aaj ka post is based on something nearly all of us can relate to. Glow ups. Tell me I'm not the only one who's guilty of searching "How to have a glow up in 2 weeks" or "How to glow up over the summer" on Pinterest. Something common that's found in all these posts is that they always indicate weight loss, an insane amount of water intake, face masks  and of course, waking up at 5am (bruh how?) . We've all tried our luck at this and frankly, the chances of it working are 1 in a million. The reason? They're unrealistic and forced. When you force yourself to do any activity, there are negligible chances you will enjoy and succeed in it.   Instead of focussing on frivolous activities such as the above, focus on your present and important things that DO matter in the long run, such as academics (they are not a 100% of your life, but they are important.) Don't get me wrong; there's nothing wrong with hav...

 Hey everyone and Welcome back! With the growing rate of mental issues among the youth, seeking help to combat the same has become the need of the hour. Today's post is going to be a "revamp", of my previously authored post( Read here! ) focussing more on why more than how. Happy reading! Going to Therapy. Society has unnecessarily made this a very "hush-hush" topic; and I fail to see the reason why. What's wrong about wanting to seek help? Mental issues aren't as easily visible or diagnosable as compared to a physical ailment.  Let me explain with the help of an example: You fall sick. You get fever. You know that these are the symptoms of a fever and take some meds and get better soon. If after a while the symptoms don't subside, you go to a doctor to check if it's something else. It's the same with the brain involved. You may feel sad or angry or any emotion for that matter. You'll try to get yourself through it with whatever technique...

 (Hint: It's super easy!) Hey everyone and welcome back! When we think of the term "Ally", many of us often have a stereotypical picture of someone aggressive/bold, holding huge posters, marching on the street in the back of our minds. While this is true for a few cases, sometimes, being an ally doesn't mean doing all the above; rather just taking a few measures yourself to make the world a better, a more inclusive space. So, in today's post, I'll be sharing 3 (super easy) ways you can be a Mental Health ally-for free! Being an ally and making jokes about Mental Health is one of the most hypocritic things you can ever do.  Don't get me wrong, there's absolutely nothing wrong about speaking about your own mental health with a bit of humour but when you choose to say terms such as " Bro, depression ho gaya ", you're indirectly contributing to the stigma. Mental Health is not something to be joked about. It's an extremely serious topic a...
