Aarvi Writings

So in case you have been reading all my blogs till date, which I hope you would have, you might be aware that I pretty well ain't good with the introduction part and all. So cutting the chase because none of us have all the time in the world either for this. So a huge part of my daily schedule includes sitting on a couch like a potato, watching tv, scrolling through dozens of apps, having short-talks with people I call friends and simply "procrastinating". Up till the last week, I was probably still doing the same until a lot of events happened in my life. These are not some major, grand events but little sequences which cumulatively made a big impact on me. So a part of my procrastinating chores include sitting glued to the tv and watching an extremely famous game show called KBC aka 'Kaun Banega Crorepati'.  I know you all might be wondering that who sees that show, it's monotonous too maybe. But there are two huge reasons why I watch it : 1. Obviousl...

So I have been posting random post here and there on my Instagram  handle  about the topic ' self-love'.  (see how subtly I gave me a shoutout :p) I know many of you might be curious about what it actually indicates to? Why is it so important? Also, isn't self-love another subtle word for selfish? I hope I solve all of these and more. Self-love is not being selfish. It is another word for knowing your value may be. But definitely not being selfish. Self-love is accepting your flaws, your scars and wearing all of those like badges of honor on your sleeve. Self-love is knowing that you aren't perfect because no human being is meant to be and still being happy and content in your imperfections. You have to keep yourself a priority like you keep the someone special while you are 'taken'. You have to do all it takes, give your best shot, stay motivated, take care, dress up and do all of this for just one person. YOU!!!! Self-love is like being in a relations...

Another day where I just have some mundane ideas on this blog post which I have subtly posted under a witty title. Well, that's what I have been doing with every blog recently. Curiosity boost up? Thinking what evaluate means here? Am I distributing interview tips? Am I going to talk about how to make yourself worthy of passing an interview? Well, no. This is such a short and simple post related to one of the incidents I closely encountered with. By evaluating a human, I just happen to say that we realize the value of a human being pretty late. We realize their value mostly on their prayer meet by acknowledging them saying ' bahut ache admi the. Bhagawan ne jaldi upar bula liya.'   or probably when that person is on  their death bed , ' kaafi taklif ho rahi hai unhe. bhagwan aisi  zindagi  kisiko na de. itni taklif wo bhi itne bhale insaan ko.' I guess I am going to need a little help here as to why we start valuing or realizing...

UnConditional LOVE? Why do we always feel this never-dying need for Happy Endings?   Why do we always expect haan bhai, movie kaisi bhi ho end mai to hero-heroine ne saathme aana hi hai ? Why do we always think that yes, we are going to have a happy-ending in our life too just like the dumb Bollywood movies?   First, you do not know when the climax scene of your life is going to come and secondly, your life is not a Bollywood movie! We all have to make our mark. That is exactly the fuel that ignites in us the desire to do better each day. Then when it comes to love, why do we force ourselves to believe in something so pure just by the looks of it in the movies or the books? Those things are fictional. I mean, you may or may not fall in love at first sight. You may find someone attractive years later and your first meet can be an intense argument. Why are you forcing yourself or expecting that your first year of college is exactly when you are supposed t...

Long time no see :P Once again, a hello from the other side by an extremely lazy-ass blogger!!!! We all have BucketLists, something we always wish to do! The main motto of our lives revolves around adding a +1 to that list while simultaneously crossing off the other. So now what was the third thing on my Bucket List and why did I take to blogger to share it out? Toh Boss Funda ekdum simple hai.. Jo humne kiya wo humare liye mushkil tha aur bas hume apko bhi batana hai. The third thing in the list was simply going to a busy resto alone and eating out without calling someone or scrolling through the Instagram feed. Yes, it takes immense gutts to walk-in in the first place followed by people's eyes around you expecting someone with you! All they do is stare and stare and next tough task is ordering for the food. If it is a proper restaurant then no issues but what if it self-served plaace? You have to make sure your seat is reserved and also go and order. Now th...

If you follow me on Instagram or snapchat and had seen my story last week, you probably know what this blog is about. Yet, I guess you should keep reading as this won't disappoint. To begin with, if you are a fan of the independence period or if you are a strong believer in the 'Mahatma', this one is for you.  There is a little-known place called,'Mani Bhuvan' in Mumbai. It is located in near proximity of the Grant Road station. You could google rest of the details here. Before we begin, let me tell you all why this place is really close to my heart. As a child or somewhere in the process of growing up, this place played a vital role in shaping me into a better human being. This is the place where we bid a strong goodbye to my stage fear and also discovered that I had some average speaking skills which are lost somewhere these days! Ghosh, I miss the stage now! But yes, this is where I learnt how you address a good audience and how you keep them interested ...

So I guess a lot of you all would have already noticed people posting stories, tweeting, sharing stuff under the #JusticeForAsifa, let's get to the basics about this hashtag, shall we? The little 8-year-old girl was held captivated, drugged, gang-raped, injured, stabbed and succumbed to facial injuries and for what? because she was a Muslim or because she was a girl? As a developing nation, it scares me! People having such mentality, possessing this blind spiritual faith in such anti-religious theories which eventually make them believe whatever they did was to prove that their religion is superior to the other religions!!!! How dumb are we that we fail to notice the truth that we are born humans and the only religion we are going to die with is "HUMANITY". God does not check or bother about your religion after you die; he bothers about what you do with the help of your humanity now. The Kathua and the Unnao case speaks tonnes about everything that is wrong with th...
