Songaholic :-P

Priya Bhowal

This year I seem to be drunk on books. One after the other I go on reading…… When I am not on books I’m found on songs. Romantic songs…. those romantic Bollywood songs, that make you feel “fairy tale”-ish……….. I imagine myself waltz around in the rain with an imaginary partner <3 <3 <3 Right now I'm high on "main hoon hero tera", by Salman Khan. Wait I'm high even on Armaan Malik's version. Same song, two singers; doesn't make much of a difference on my "high"ness. I don’t think I ever got over the hangover of  Galliyan Banjara, in … Continue reading Songaholic 😛

Nature’s conspiracies

Priya Bhowal

How much ever daredevil one tries to be, no one has enough courage to face death. No one wants to die. At least not by a terrible accident.

But none wants a death by accident. It’s a universal truth, we humans can do anything. But we can’t fight fate and nature. Nature happens to be a shrewd conspirator, just like us…….. Today when I opened my eyes, I thought … Continue reading Nature’s conspiracies

Time for some realisation

Priya Bhowal

My parents have been very strict with me. I often used to be hit for committing mistakes (i was an ill tempered kid and quite impulsive; often lost control on my actions). I had borne an anger towards them for treating me like that when all my friends used to be pampered by their parents. One of my aunts commented, on our first meeting, that girls are a burden on parents. This comment remained embedded in my mind. After a few months, I, coincidentally, overheard my father expressing his anger on my mother for not giving him a son. This … Continue reading Time for some realisation

Fighting life. Fighting for life

Priya Bhowal

Today I watched a video. Felt Empty And Directionless’  Deepika Padukone o…: https://youtu.be/TwIOrxWT7Z8 It’s a NDTV interview where India’s one of the top actresses, Ms. Deepika Padukone talks of her fight with depression. As I listened to what she was saying, I was constantly drifting back and forth thinking about the emotional swing I go through. She says fighting depression needs a lot of support from family, friends, counsellors, doctors. She also said there is a huge difference between being sad and being depressed. I am not sure at all whether I am sad or I am depressed. I can’t … Continue reading Fighting life. Fighting for life
