A glimpse of life these days!

Surprisingly, 2022 brought a lot of firsts in my life in various different ways. Some of which became best memories and some became best lessons!. The best part was that each of them had something to offer to me! 

Life has almost been a rollar coaster in the past few months. It is surreal when life makes you realize that nothing is permanent, whatever given, can be taken back in a blink of an eye. 

While I have been going through such stormy days, I decided to take a pause and write down a series of blogs that describes my life experiences after coming to Noida. This blog will be the first one which will talk about few of my experiences so far. It makes me feel numb when I think of my innocent self who stepped into a metro city for the first time ever, only to welcome a whole new box of learnings and thunderbolts that life had to introduce to me! 

In the first few months I felt as if life had gifted me all the freedom of the world and I could travel, cook, dance, read and even go out without anyone's permission and no one would judge me or ask me to come back home soon! It was a great feeling, a great sense of liberty to me!. The corporate sector gives a whole lot of suprises to people, I got a lot of those suprises too!. The office parties, the double standards, the urge to prove your worth, the need to constantly impress people and the urge to change your basic identity so that you match the standards of the corporate life, started giving me hints that life in metro is not as easy and beautiful as I thought it would be. 

I came across several people who were trying to enjoy what these cities had to offer in the name of happiness and observed that those people were the saddest creatures ever. I met a lot of people who were trying to fit in the environment in several different ways out of which a few took the help of alcohol to avoid reality, few just kept themselves sane and found happiness in the insane crowd around them and a few were just there for the sake of being among the crowd and rest were simply the people pleasers!. 

Still, at times when I used to be at my worst, I used to look around myself and found deep grief and unspoken stories of sorrow in people's life which reminded me of being thankful for every blessing that I think I did not even deserve.
In the later months, it so happened that...... (to be continued)

    It’s very true and profound that in metropolitan cities, some people revel in the bright lights while others feel isolated. This isn’t necessarily a dark side but rather a matter of personal inner satisfaction. Soft people often find themselves feeling alone, even in vibrant environments. I experienced this when I was in a cyber city; while people around me were enjoying themselves, I found it hard to accept my own sense of isolation. During the life journey a best partner always plays a vital role.

The dictionaries and general public opinions have defined radicalisation as an extremist ideology towards anything and everything, say, religion, situation, society or sect of people belonging to a particular group. You would be wondering that what made me think or write about this topic which is highly sensitive and subjective in nature and might also result into severe disagreements and difference of opinions if talked about openly in public, but I feel that it should be discussed and should be brought to our attention especially during these times when one social media post holds an extremely surprising power to change people’s mind or to rather trigger people’s minds. Initially, I used to think about this mass destruction tool called radicalisation as an issue of a group of people having similar mind-sets and used to believe that those people are born that way, i.e, triggered and manipulated in every way possible but after researching and developing a keen curiosity towards underst
