The Fracture of the Mind

The last time I was so shocked and saddened by the news of suicide was when I heard about Robin Williams the actor, who had killed himself by hanging himself at his home, after his bouts with mental stress and depression. And then yesterday, once again I went through similar emotions of shock and extreme

The loss of my dearest friend…RIP Jacqueline…..

At 9.48pm this evening I lost someone so very close to my heart and someone whose presence in my life was larger than life itself. She was like a mother figure, a really good friend but apart from that, a totally wonderful human being which is rare find in this world that we live in

A mothers story…My miracle….Rishaans story and the fight for his life….

Depression… the monster in your closet…

Depression. The mere word sounds like a death sentence.  People tend to refuse to admit that they suffer with it.  It’s an ugly cloud that hangs over one for endless days and nights, almost like the bottomless pit that we cannot crawl out of. It’s a dark lonely place.  The world’s as empty and hollow

Dowry- an ugly truth?

Bingo! I was waiting for this topic to come up.  I just had an inkling that Aamir Khan would delve into the darkness of the dowry system at some point in his series.  It was sooner than I thought but what a great show.  http://ibnlive.in.com/news/satyamev-jayate-ugly-dowry-truths-and-big-fat-indian-weddings/259706-44-124.html 80% of bank loans are taken by people to meet
