A Weed and a Whole Lotta Wisdom

 We’ve always heard it—“there’s something to learn from everything in the universe.” And guess what? Even a weed teaches us something.


Think about it. A weed? Grows on its own. Needs no fertilizers, no pesticides. Stands tall, strong, independent. A self-made lady, honestly. And what do we humans do? Uproot her. Why? Because we think she’s "useless."

She’s a weed—not a flower in anyone’s vase, but a wild one who never asked for space and still found a way to grow :)


But who really is?


Let’s take a moment to salute her—Miss Weed. She’s not dependent. She doesn’t care for your validation. She thrives anyway.


Now contrast that with us humans. We build bonds, trust people, and end up accidentally depending on them. It’s a social phenomenon, right? But when the thread of trust breaks—it’s broken. Even if we tie it back, that scar? It stays. A constant reminder of the snap.


And that’s where our inner trauma kicks in. The fear of being bandaged again holds us back from trusting anyone deeply. We’re scared to get stitched, scared of pain, scared of trusting again. So what do we do? Pretend not to care. Mask up. Go full lone wolf.


We say “I won't get attached again,” but who are we kidding? Our default setting is to care. Especially when you’re living in hostels with people from all over the place. Different backgrounds. Different energies. And yes—different red flags 


Still, I fall into the nasty pit of trusting people. Again and again. It’s like a loop with no escape button.


But here's the ironic part—we're medicos. We're supposed to have empathy and humanity, right? In fact, not just us—every human should. But these days, even humanity seems to be out of stock.

(Probably chilling on Mars or something)


If you don’t share what you feel, they say you’ve got an attitude. If you do share, they make you regret being vulnerable in the first place. Classic lose-lose. So now, we don’t speak. We just vibe and disappear.


So - Don’t expect people to be there for you just because you were there for them. That’s not how this world works anymore. It’s better to stay detached, be independent, and remind yourself ;)


You’re not everyone’s cup of tea. You’re a shot of espresso—illegally hard to handle!!!



To anyone who relates—just know this:

It’s okay to care. It’s okay to trust. But protect your peace. Don’t lose your softness. Just learn how to water your own roots—like that weed. Grow wild. Grow strong. And grow anyway.


Because you deserve you.

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...
