  CONFIDENCE Why am I writing a blog about confidence? I always mention that confidence is something I am interested and I want to grow my confidence. But why do I have this curiosity to desire for it. Growing up I have felt that I am not that much confident about myself. I have often felt “less than”, incapable and intimated by people and situations. There has been an underlying feeling of discomfort and being exposed. However, the times I have mentioned to others that I feel I am not confident and want to work on it I have often received responses. As a kid I would often write goals and spend time thinking about the future and how it could be better. I was very much a dreamer. It was not so much about my physical environment that I felt needed improvement. Rather it was about my own potential for success. I changed somewhere along the way, losing sight of my natural optimism and belief in myself. I don’t believe there was a particular event that created the situation ...

  What a girl wants… Well, a question is very much asked by majority of the men being an important subject of matter and that is “What does a girl actually want”?

  The day I lost my Great-grandma!!   Obviously fear of losing people is something that I’m most scared of, yes-more than ghosts also. When people leave, I hate that thing - whether for a short period or for lifetime. I still remember my best friend when I was a kid, and literally when she left...Well, I was a kid but that thing affected me so badly.

Then, at 11 in the morning telephone bell ringed, and it was my grandma who told us about my Great- grandma that she is no more. And, all five of us were in shock and tears blended out of our freaking eyes. And we were literally blank and we didn’t know what to do next. That day was like a complete roller–coaster of emotions. There was an underlying feeling of di...
