Racism is worldwide. When we talk about BlackLiveMatter, we are not just talking about America. We as individuals face racism, body shaming each and every day across the world and cultures. Being a South Asian, I have experienced and tolerated racism every day. People being obsessed with fair skin is not a secret in our culture. There are so many brands that promote fair skin, brightening creams, and so on. I find it really funny how white skin people want to have tan skin and in India, there is something called De-tan, I had a hard time understanding it at first. Each time when I went to salon how the aesthetician made me feel that I need to de-tan since I have tanned or I am dark, I was like please let me love my skin. Why we so allured by light skin, maybe because the society taught us how light skin is beautiful and dark skin is not. In Bollywood, it's mandatory to have light skin actresses because that is the measurement of beauty.  Each and every person wish to have a ...

When you start losing everything and start to think, if any efforts are good enough, always remember how far you have come and how courageous you were when you started. Success is not easy, it does not come overnight. Success is like Iceberg illusion, sailors might see it as a small chunk of ice, but they might not know what is the real depth of it, similarly, other people can not see all the dedication, perseverance, hard work, and discipline one has invested to be successful in life. Although one has seen so many rejections, disappointments, sacrifices, and tears yet they never gave up, so many failures and setbacks are faced by many, but they were always persistent in their endeavors. People will criticize at every step of yours, maybe make fun of you, they might say that you are wasting your time, however, you have to keep chasing the success no matter what, you will be disappointed numerous times and will decide to settle for less, however, settling for less is not an option. ...

With all the wounds and damages I decided to love you deeply without thinking about tomorrow  I chose to love you unconditionally The moment we shared I cherished them every day The memories of you I saved in my heart treasure them immensely In hope of seeing you one day again I saw you leaving silently.

When Life gives you a lemon, make a lemonade, heard this proverb probably several times. In theory, it is correct, however, is it true in real life? probably also true. When you are going through a tough time, you do not think about anything else other than how to get rid of a tough time. You try to think of several solutions, some of them work but most of them do not. In spite of doing everything, failure is the only thing that shows up. Regret is also another emotion that is more frequently occurs. Why I did not take precautions, what I could have done, why I am going through this, what I can do to correct it. Probably build a time machine, time machine does not exist, even though living in the 21st century. Why so many expectations? Life is full of failure and if we did not fail, we never know how to correct them, and how to grow. As much as the Sun is important for the equilibrium, the rain has its own importance. Without darkness, there is no meaning of Light.

the nightmare of yesterday, still lingering in my eyes, the vain is all around, nothing but pain in disguise, the world around me just moving away, something is stopped,the soul to say. the journey through the illusions, turning me towards the seclusion. No more hopes,no more cries, every moment in my heart something dies. far away from the real,somewhere i was alive, the world of sweet illusions i now deprive. the moments i had forgotten ,resurfacing again, the castle of sand, i built is broken once again. The illusions I loved ,all are scattered, nothing is there,just me alone shattered. Vaishali Saral.

Sometimes it’s so weird out of blue you see something in dream and when you wake up you think,what was meaning of it. No idea .Every night I sleep with hopes and dreams. tomorrow will be shining once again.I really hate how come I got so busy do not get time for myself.for my own soul.I haven’t talked to my soul from a long time. I wonder how I stopped listening you, You are the one who resides in me. No one listen to me ever, But you always there for caring me, I did not know when I got stuck on the way, You came like breeze of unknown mist. Several words to describe, none applied, You never needed any word to understand my zest. You lived in my dream, in my verses, One day I got lost in the worldly illusions, Chaotic sounds, away from the seclusions I could not hear you since ever, But you left me alone never, I searched you everywhere from mob to dungeon. Forgot you never went anywhere, just here in me Watching every moment, the shattering me. ...
