Who likes to indulge in self pity? At least, I don't. I have got a big ego that doesn't permit me to display my hurt. I would rather die than show weakness in front of those people who didn't think twice before hurting me. Anyway, would it matter to them even if they knew how much I was hurting? I guess not. So, why bother?

Trust issues
Nowadays, I teach creative writing to a couple of kids, and when I was on my way to the class, I saw an ad for a job opening. My brother is unemployed at the moment and it just crossed my mind that he would require my dad to vouch for him if he ever applied for such jobs (It was related to security management).

Friend-me-not
I dedicate this blog post to all those wolves in sheep's clothing.
I know I am exaggerating when I compare the friends-gone-strangers to wolves, but
I couldn't find subtler words.
I'm never in a hurry to end a relationship. I believe that acknowledgment is the first step to solve any problem, not termination. However, I have stopped talking to many people, who were once upon a time my friends, this year - sometimes, they initiated the process, and the other times, I did.

Heartbreak and whatever!
You realise you
are growing old when you decide to stay away from a person who mistreated you
without getting into any tit-for-tat businesses. Now, you're old enough to
understand that such people are just not worth your time and effort.

True and Unrequited Love
I'm one of those millions of girls who grew up reading Cinderella and other such tall-tales. At the back of my mind, I always knew that such stories were just a work of fiction, but in the naivety of childhood, I still hoped; I hoped that true love existed and one day it will sweep me off my feet.

Liar liar pants on fire
I met way too many liars in
the past few days that I had to vent out somewhere and what better place than my
blog…
There are people who make several
promises to manipulate others to get their works done. Boyfriends and
girlfriends promise commitment and marriage to squeeze sex and money out of
their partners. Colleagues promise cooperation in return for small favours. Businesses
promise services in return for money. But, these people hardly keep their
promises.
Two paths diverged in the woods
Growing old is inevitable, however feeling old is optional. I realize with each passing day I am getting older and becoming wiser (perhaps not), but I don’t feel old enough to be figuring out someone else's dinner, putting a kid to sleep, and answering to people other than my parents. When I am still working out how to handle trivial affairs of a so called grand life, when I still spend my days anticipating its vital moves, I see my friends battle with bigger and meaner demons.

Crushing
I
left halfway through an article on my friends and their broken relationships to
write this. I have had way too many crushes and that’s reason enough to
dedicate an entire blogpost on the topic.
I
clearly remember, it all started when I was ten year old. I was seriously
crushing over a film-star then. It was nothing serious though. It was all about his
movies and running around trees singing songs. Now, every time I see him on
television, I facepalm.

Women's Issues
I
suppose I have been giving men more attention than they actually deserve, at
least on my blog. Well, I am a big girl now. I have my share of men issues and
need a platform to vent. Where else will I go other than my ‘Otiose Opinions’?
And to be honest, there are quite a lot of things I wish I could talk about, but
cannot. You know, a girl like me has to think about her reputation in the
society and she must also be considerate about others who are involved in the
issues she wants to discuss.
