"Too hot to handle? Nah, just Pitta Prakrti things

 Meet Tara. She’s that girl who walks into the room looking like she’s got her whole life together — sleek hair tied up in a no-nonsense bun, eyebrows always on point, and that natural glow people spend money trying to recreate with 15- step skincare routines. But here’s the truth — her glow isn’t from serums. It’s from inner fire.  Literally.


Tara’s day starts before sunrise — not because she’s trying to be aesthetic, but because her inner clock is built different. She doesn’t “wake up late.” That’s just not in her DNA. Her wardrobe? Clean, crisp, and no-nonsense — just like her.


Now, let’s talk food. If it’s too spicy, Tara’s body goes full-on “this is betrayal.” So she sticks to cooling stuff — coconut water, sabudana khichdi, cucumber salads. But here’s the twist: she loves spicy food. She’ll be dying inside after eating a plate of peri peri fries but still be like, “One more bite.” Classic toxic relationship energy with food.


She’s always warm — emotionally and temperature-wise. Her hands are warm, her forehead’s warm, and her presence? Also warm. She can keep a straight face while everyone else is panicking, but the moment someone breaks the rules of logic — boom — inner volcano erupts. (Politely, of course.)


Tara doesn’t waste words. She speaks when it matters. But when she does? She’s sharp, direct, and brutally honest — like if a highlighter pen had a personality.


She thrives in competition, aims for the top spot, and lowkey feels irritated when things get messy. She might look chill on the outside, but she’s already edited your sentence three times in her head. That’s how detail-oriented she is.


Social events? She’ll join, flash her dazzling but low-effort smile, have one plate of food (avoiding fried stuff), analyze the room silently, and vanish before anyone notices. Her ideal party? A to-do list and eight hours of sleep.


Sounds familiar?


That’s because Tara is the poster child of Pitta Prakriti.


Pitta folks are known for their fire — not the angry kind, but the focused, purposeful, let-me-fix-this-world kind. They’re driven, intelligent, confident, and sometimes too perfectionist for their own good. Their digestion is strong (until they mess it up with junk), their body runs warm, their hair might be straight and fine, and their skin? Often oily with the occasional glow or breakout.


Tara doesn’t chase attention — she naturally attracts it with her aura of quiet power. And while she may look like she’s judging you, she’s probably just judging her own to-do list.


And the funny part?


There are Taras everywhere. Maybe your class topper. Maybe your boss. Maybe your bestie who sends you a Google Doc for a birthday plan.


Or maybe, just maybe… you’re a Tara too.


And if that’s the case, own that fire, hydrate often, and please — go easy on the peri peri.

Chickenpox Diaries: 19 Days of Forced “Me-Time”

  Everything happens for a reason, right? Well, life just gave me 19 days of chickenpox leave, and trust me—it was not the kind of vacation anyone would ask for. The first 4 days? Literal hell. Couldn’t even sip water without wincing, throat burning like fire, body screaming with pain. To top it off—full-time isolation in my room. 24×7. I used to check the mirror every day, hoping the blisters would heal fast. But honestly, though I always had clear skin, I didn’t even get sad about the “connect-the-dots puzzle” on my face. My only prayer was to get rid of the throat pain and weakness. And don’t even get me started on the bland food—life had lost all taste. From day 5, things started getting better—pain faded, blisters began drying, and I could finally feel human again. But while I was fighting pox in my room, my class was living in a mini drama series. I left on a Monday after the 2nd period (two blisters + fever + body ache gave me away), and the very next day panic spread becaus...

"Silence Isn’t the Absence of Words; It’s the Presence of Truth"

Ever felt that weird shift when someone you trusted suddenly starts acting different? That quiet change, no explanations—just distance. It’s in moments like these that some truths hit hardest.  First of all, the biggest mistake some of us make (yes, me too): trusting friends blindly. Even when our inner sense knows that at some point, they might walk away, we still fall into that trap. Why? Because we’re human. It’s natural. And it’s fine too. But eventually… it affects us. Mentally, emotionally, and psychologically. Especially when you’re the one who gets affected by others’ actions—while they walk around acting cold and unapologetic. It’s honestly one of the worst experiences someone can go through. And I think, at some point in life, everyone goes through this phase. You understand people better through these incidents. And learn that giving the wrong people your time, energy, and emotions will only drain you. What annoys the most is when people start playing the victim card lik...

Flashmob, Fort & Fake Studying – A Saturday Saga

 Yesterday was one rollercoaster of a Saturday. So our toxicology sir had told us earlier that we’d be doing a flashmob for Anti-Tobacco Day. Yes, you read that right — a flashmob. In public. Dancing. Us. Lol Practice started the day before the actual event. Very on brand for us. Thankfully, heavy rain gifted us a leave on Friday — bless the skies. We aren't professional dancers or anything, but we’ve got one thing in common: the willpower to pull off whatever chaos we sign up for. Our rehearsals were basically just us roasting each other, laughing at wrong steps, and doing the signature “wait, what comes after this move?” head tilt. Come Saturday morning — 9 AM sharp — we reached Fort. There were police officers, excise officers, and students from another institute, all geared up and lined up neatly with placards. We stood with our banners, acting all serious for a minute. Then came the speeches. But the real chaos? When they suddenly announced “Now, the flashmob!” BROOO. Panic mo...
