Another week brimming with work and routine has ended and we are all ready to sit in the cool shade of our home, making conversations with the weekend. As you greet Saturday’s sunshine with a smile, we fish out some comforting stories to make your Saturday moments a little more spicy! While bloggers spend almost an eternity penning down every single musing of their mind onto virtual paper, we do our bit by getting the best of them under the single roof of our Picks. Believe us, the results are always enriching.
Expression, once put into words, remains there forever, touching anybody who passes by. A mere skim, a subtle whiff or a full read, enjoy the below blog posts as you want as we compile the worthy reads we unearthed through the week. If you wish to get your blog discovered like this, click here.
- Who: Akshata Ram
- What: “Career aspirations of women- can they make it big?”
- Spicy: Marriage, ideally, is a coming together of two equal souls but in reality, the balance of compromise is generally tilted against the woman. On one hand, women have grown wings of independence, where on the other, expectations and roles have stayed fossilized since forever. A happy marriage is sometimes built on the foundation of unsatiated career aspirations and dreams of a woman. But what happens when a woman’s job is a priority for her? Join Akshata as she describes the crossroads of balancing between marital chords and her career.
- Who: Zeenat Merchant Syal
- What: “How and Why you NEED to Surround Yourself with Positive People”
- Spicy: How many of you welcome the idea that the universe whispers? The people and things that surround us create their own aura, sending out waves of energy that finally shape the way we interpret, experience and react to the world. If life has been all doom and gloom for you lately, you might want to take a long, hard look at the people you spend the most time with, and embed a few positive currents in your friend list to bail yourself out of your gloomy box.
- Who: Kiran Manral
- What: “Love in the time of WhatsApp”
- Spicy: The world has shrunk into a chunk of people connected forever via social media. While availability has become a matter of ‘last seens’ and two blue ticks, dating keeps juggling between on and off modes. Has social media made people jumping jacks when it comes to relationships and love affairs? A few emoticons and abbreviations now have the potential to change the course of a relationship. Kiran’s write up is a perfect juxtaposition between ‘her times’ and our modern world where smartphones act as Cupid.
- Who: Pranju Chakrapani
- What: “The anger, against me”
- Spicy: Bouts of depression, frustration and worthlessness have engulfed each one of us at some point in time. As the world of competition keeps soaring high and people become masters in the cut throat business of moving ahead, one can easily get swallowed by disillusionment and pain. Pranju tries to soothe the hidden agony and affliction through a heavy-hearted prose.
- Who: Greenboochi
- What: “Roach and Zard”
- Spicy: Yes, we all have been there! Our sudden encounters with cockroach filled drains and unexpected encroachments in the kitchens are not an unusual story. Cockroaches may not have any malice in their minds towards us, yet the species is found repulsive and unwelcome by all. Their sight is generally greeted with a piercing scream or an Usain Bolt-esque dash away from them. Here’s a chucklesome encounter with lizards and roaches by GreenBoochi that kept as laughing till the end.
- Who: Ram Kumar
- What: “The Only Floating National Park In the World- Keibul Lamjao”
- Spicy: The heat wave has finally taken its descent with monsoon on its way to drop by. If you have been busy contemplating on your prospective destination for this season, perhaps here’s a pick for you. Perfect for the vacations coming soon, here’s a pictographic trip to the only floating national park, home to a myriad of species. Nature’s calling and you might just want to meet her up!
- Who: Tell A Tale
- What: “A Writer’s Note: Be Selfish, Be Brave and Just WRITE”
- Spicy: Many a times, writing and blogging that is triggered through our passion, becomes a constant effort to please the readers. While writing, the anxiety to face critics doesn’t leave us, taking a toll on our very talent to express through words. Sangitha shares her experience of gaining back her rapport with words after a short phase of losing herself amidst people’s opinions.
