it was when i stopped searching for home within others and lifted the foundations of home within myself i found there were no roots more intimate than those between a mind and body that have decided to be whole

Freeing my gypsy soul. No big deal, casually taking a break from all the chilling I’ve been doing! 😎

Gluttony is a sin, it seems. I’m ok to be a sinner if it involves this yummmmers of a cake! 🎂
Thank you @cravebycicy for this treat.

Chapter 5:
Bring your inner child back to life. Use her tenderness, feel her kindness and joy, and don’t ever again let anyone take her away from you. This is how you can be truly at peace at all times, no matter what. ✨

Chapter 3: Many a times you get lost behind three quarter of an inch makeup and live life on a cue. When I woke up on the day of this shoot, I felt like I was staring into an abyss. I almost called off the shoot, I pursued nonetheless. I’ve got nothing to hide and nothing to disguise, I’m just a real girl living a real life.

Chapter 4: You might cruise through many a hairpin bend, climb a million stairs, walk a thousand miles to reach your spot on cloud nine. Whoosh comes your kingdom tumbling down; and mama life will teach you why being grounded is important. And when you’re down in the ditches, the only way forward will be to move forward!

Here’s one feminist life rule of mine: I never judge a man based on how he treats women when they are coddling or praising him. Look closely at how a man reacts when a woman displeases him, stands up to him, or draws a boundary with him, and you will find out who he really is.

Happiness looks different at different points in time. Sometimes it’s a smile and sometimes it’s solitude. Make your own happiness and down it like you would a goblet of Sangria on a moonlit Sunday night! 🍷 🎑

what is the greatest lesson a woman should learn
that since day one
she’s already had everything she needs within herself it’s the world that convinced her she did not

Meet the cousins: This is the FIRST time, I’m posting a picture of my big fat fambam! I DON’T BELIEVE in showcasing only to the world our LOVE and BOND. We’re a pretty tight family and I like to keep FAMILY MEMORIES SPECIAL. I’m breaking my own rules today, 2020 has been CHALLENGING and overwhelming for all us in more ways than one. It has been a year of METAMORPHOSIS, especially for me. This year has helped us realize a lot of things we all were taking for granted amidst our FAST-PACED EMPTY LIVES. Memories, relationships and people are the most important things in life, no two ways about it. The lockdown has helped me REKINDLE my relationship with the ones I GREW up with. All of our childhood and teens were intertwined, after which we all slowly but surely felt DISCONNECTED from each other – should we blame it on the rat race to reach the top?
With nothing but time on our hands, WE PULLED OUR ROOTS back together and RECONNECTED. When we connected, we realized we all are going through similar phases of metamorphosis, TRAUMA and HEALING. And for those who haven’t joined their family tribe, wishing you to cross paths soon.
Forget about the rat race, you aren’t a rat! Talk to “YOUR” people. LIVE a LOT and LOVE a lot MORE!

People are like shadows they disappear when it gets dark!
“If you want to know who your tribe is, speak your truth. Then see who sticks around. Those are the people who get a spot in your blanket fort”
and most importantly THEY DON’T MANIPULATE YOU TO CHANGE BUT LOVE YOU FOR WHAT YOU ARE.
I am grateful for you, #weareone

All virtues don’t look like white-washed linen,
All vices don’t reek of a hangover,
All revolutions don’t tear down walls,
All saints don’t have a halo hanging,
All sinners don’t have blood on their hands.
Listen to the vibes, don’t look at oddities.

This the first thing I did after the initial lockdown!
One of the most important things I learnt during this time is the value of freedom and mobility, my freedom is everything to me. There’s nothing more that makes me happier than being amidst nature with my loved ones by my side and me being my true monkey self.
You and I are free to follow our hearts.
Know your freedom, know your rights!
Happy Independence Day! 🇮🇳

Reposted from @aisootti Remember those people who tell you “It’s because of love”? “Sneham Kondalle?”
Trigger warning: Toxic love, Victim blaming.
A Malayali woman named Merin was murdered by her husband today in US- on the day she was moving out to another state and another life. He stabbed her 17 times and then ran over her with a car. The murder in itself is spine chilling. But what really froze my very soul were the comments under the news articles on Facebook. It resonated so much with yesterday’s discussions and videos. Snehamulla violence. Toxic love.
I will say this again- Whatever it takes you, whatever you do- never return to a place that breaks you, hurts you or erases you. People will tell you ; it’s love, it’s how marriages are, it’s what is expected of you, everyone lives like this, adjust a little, compromise a little, ignore a little. Don’t. They will call you names. They will say you are a whore and insane and arrogant and a sinner. You are not. They will shame you for being strong and feminist and smart and well-read and motivated. Don’t be ashamed one bit.
If anyone says they love you and continue doing things that hurt you; it is for eff-sakes NOT love. Always always trust actions over words. Trust the pain you feel over the words you hear. Repeated mistakes are not ‘patti poya’ accidents. If these accidents do not occur in public, to their friends and bosses- it is not accident. Get out. Get out. Get a lawyer who will not Mollywood Male Dialogue you. Call a friend. Call your family. Don’t teach your child Violence is how love is expressed.
Choose the goodness of nature, always! 🍃
