Finding Peace Within

 October 2nd always feels like a quiet reminder to me a moment to reflect on the life and lessons of Mahatma Gandhi. Growing up, Gandhi Jayanti was just a holiday on the calendar, but now I have realized how relevant his message still is today.

In a world that’s constantly moving, where conflict is often just a click away, I find myself wondering how much we have lost touch with Gandhi’s principles of Ahimsa and truth. Can we still choose peace when everything around us feels chaotic? Can we practice non-violence in our thoughts and words, even when we’re stressed or frustrated?

Gandhi’s life was about simplicity, but I ask myself how easy is it to live simply today? We are surrounded by so much noise, so many distractions. But maybe that’s why his teachings hit even harder now. His strength wasn’t in grand actions but in everyday choices. How often do I stop to think about the impact of my own choices, on myself and others?

This Gandhi Jayanti, I’m reflecting on how I can bring more of that peace into my life. It’s not about making big changes but small steps choosing patience over anger, understanding over judgment. Gandhi taught us that change starts from within, and I believe it still does.

So, I’m taking this day not just to remember him, but to ask myself  how can I be more peaceful in a world that feels so chaotic? How can I make even a small difference in the way I live?

 Fine then...Happy Gandhi Jayanti! Let’s all try to keep his message alive, in our own ways.

STEPS TO OVERCOME DEPRESSION, ANXIETY AND STRESS

 Hey  readers! Hope you are doing great and  you would be eager to read my next blog after a long time . Before, I explore about the topic, I would like to bring to limelight a small poem as an introduction for my topic.  Can’t you hear my silent screams? They are so loud that they echo in my dream. Behind the face that carries a smile, Lies a dark road that goes on mile after mile. My silent screams have been going on for years, But it always falls on so many deaf ears. How can they hear that silent screams in their mind? They can’t hear my thoughts if I keep telling that I am fine. What can I tell them?  These silent screams carry no words. It’s just feeling of sadness and darkness that come in its herds, How can I explain so people understand this? It’s like walking around a suffocating black mist. I can’t explain how this feels, it’s so extreme, So, I hold my mouth shut to cover my silent screams. After reading this, I hope that you would have presumed it’s ...

Women Equality a Myth or a Reality?

 Hey readers! Hope you are doing great...I am Safa, to elucidate about yet another age-old question, "Women Equality a Myth or a Reality?"  Revered readers, what do you presume it to be a myth or a reality? I would like you to just ponder upon this topic and kindly peruse it.  First, let me bring to limelight, what do you think about the equality of women during the Vedic Period? You may  feel perplexed but the answer is, women during the Vedic Period enjoyed equal and ecstatic status with men in all aspects of life. Works by ancient Indian grammarians such as Patanjali and Katyayana suggest that, women were educated in early vedic period. Women possessed zestful power and personalities . They have ruled over empires ably and effectively. Besides capable administration they were notable poets, scholars, artist and regional leaders .  After reading this I believe, you would feel as if on cloud 9 and yes, you would have felt kinda queer.  However, I feel subp...
