Marine Drive Diaries


Today was all kinds of crazy in the best way possible! The plan was simple: hit up Marine Drive in Mumbai, vibe with my cousins, and soak in the sunset. But of course, life had other plans, and the day turned into a mix of fun, adventure, and unexpected twists.

The journey began with a long drive across the Cable Bridge. The car ride? Absolute vibes. Our playlist was on fire, and we were jamming to all our favorite tracks like no one was watching. Between the singing and some classic car games, the laughter was nonstop. Oh, and my little cousin, who’s just 4 years old and has more energy than all of us combined, insisted on sitting in my lap the entire time. Where does she even get that energy? Someone should bottle it up and sell it!

As we cruised through the city, Mumbai's iconic skyscrapers kept us company, setting the perfect scene. By the time we reached Marine Drive, the golden hour was in full swing. The sunset was a masterpiece, painting the sky in hues of orange and pink. We snacked on homemade goodies while watching the waves crash, and we even spotted a bunch of YouTube vloggers hustling with their cameras. Maybe we accidentally photobombed their shots who knows?

Just as we were soaking it all in, the phone rang. Granny was on the line, Grandpa had accidentally locked the apartment door from the outside, leaving everyone in a bit of a pickle. We packed up our little picnic and rushed back home.

But the day didn’t end there. Grandpa, who’s the founder of one of Mumbai’s schools, needed my help with some work. It was humbling to be a part of something so meaningful, knowing he’s built a legacy that impacts so many lives.

From Marine Drive sunsets to family drama and a touch of legacy, today was a perfect reminder that life’s best moments are a mix of planned fun and unplanned chaos. I felt like Mumbai, you never fail to surprise me!

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...
