Journal Therapy

On 8th Sep 20209th Sep 2020 By natashabkIn health, Reflections, Relationships, Spirituality1 Comment

My sister and I started writing personal journals when we were super young, less than ten years old I guess. I don't remember who pushed us towards it. It must have been either Ma or Koka, our maternal grandfather. People would gift us corporate diaries, which they had received at new years and we would …

The Cursed Relationship

On 1st Dec 2019 By natashabkIn Reflections, Relationships, Women1 Comment

It is a popular prejudice that a mother-in-law and a daughter-in-law are meant to hate each other.

An innocent and simple DIL is mistreated by her …

A True Feminist

On 6th Nov 20196th Nov 2019 By natashabkIn Reflections, Relationships, Women1 Comment

In the recent years, "feminism" has become a buzzword.

Feminism is actually defined as the belief in …
