A visit to Shah Rukh Khan's Mannat

 A Day with the King, His Son, and the Waves

When you're in Mumbai, every day feels like a movie waiting to happen and yesterday was my big Bollywood moment! It all started with a visit to Mannat, the iconic home of Shah Rukh Khan, with my cousins.

The scene outside was like something straight out of a fan fest. Dozens of people were gathered, their phones ready to capture even a glimpse of the King of Bollywood. And then, as if on cue, SRK himself stepped out! The crowd erupted with cheers as he waved his hand, radiating that signature charm. For a moment, it felt like he was waving at me (okay, probably not, but let me live the dream). That surreal moment had us buzzing with excitement.

Post the Mannat magic, we hit Bandra Beach, the perfect place to let the adrenaline settle. The salty breeze, golden sands, and endless waves set the mood. We ditched our shoes and let loose running along the shore, splashing water at each other, and laughing like we hadn’t in ages. And, of course, no beach outing is complete without some street food. Vada pavs and sugarcane juice tasted extra divine with the sea as our backdrop.

Just when I thought the day couldn’t get any better, Mumbai’s infamous traffic decided to spice things up. We were crawling through a gridlock (as usual), and I was already in full “ugh, not again” mode. I leaned out of my car window to distract myself when I spotted a sleek Audi parked right next to us. At first, I didn’t think much of it it’s Mumbai; fancy cars are everywhere. But then, I glanced inside. And OMG it was Aryan Khan!

Yes, Shah Rukh Khan’s son, casually sitting there, looking cool and unbothered as we all sat stuck in traffic. My inner fan freaked out, but outwardly, I tried to keep it together (spoiler: I was totally losing it). We were stuck in traffic for a good 45 minutes, and I couldn’t stop sneaking glances. Honestly, those 45 minutes felt like a movie montage me, Aryan, and the chaotic Mumbai streets.

The day ended with a breathtaking sunset at Bandra Beach. Sitting on the rocks, watching the sky turn into a canvas of orange and pink, I couldn’t help but replay the day in my head. From the King of Bollywood to his son to the magic of the sea it felt like I had lived an entire Bollywood film in just one day.

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...
