depression

trying to fight depression


According to the World Health Organization, India is one of the most depressed countries in the world. While around 9% of people in the country say they have experienced extended periods of depression at least once within their lifetime, nearly 36% have suffered from Major Depressive Episodes (MDE).
Yes, chronic depression might not be the ideal topic for an elevator conversation. But people think it is perfectly alright to discuss swine flu or dengue in public.
One could argue it’s because they could be deadly and we can actually see people suffering from them. What we don’t realise is that depression can be deadly too and we can see people suffering if we choose to look.
Going to see a doctor for depression should ideally be as normal as visiting a physician for diabetes. But our society does not consider it “normal” because there is a stigma attached to mental health issues.

dirty politics in india The main reason for dirty politics in India is its PEOPLE. Yeah, you read it right, PEOPLE.Perception of people towards politics is such that if a New Leader wants to come in and serve them, they themselves act in such a way that he becomes corrupt. Let us consider the following things which are impacting Indian Politics: People don’t Cast their Vote, They Vote for their Caste.Till the time we don’t stop voting on basis of our caste, Our Leaders will not take their election promises seriously.They will not deliver anything because they know that people will not ask them. Religion into Politics: India is land of every known religion,We live in Harmony until our leaders, who don’t deliver promises start blaming minorities to divert attention.  Ek Danga karado, Aur pura election set, this has become sad reality of Indian Politics. Even money or Alcohol can influence a person’s vote. We don’t vote for a person who could deliver, We vote a...

fake relationship

fake relationship It’s really difficult to recognize whether a relationship is fake or real in short span of time but in my opinion there are few signs by which you can know relationship is fake: No Future or Immediate Plan/Concerns  - How can you build a future together or life if you don’t discuss it or even casually talk about it? If your partner avoids/postpones/dodges talk on future it means he/she is not serious. Lack of Emotional Bond  - When you are not with your partner then do you think about him/her? Does their mood affect your mood also? Do you really miss him/her? If ans to all these ques is NO then your relationship is fake one. You have changed a lot!  - A clear red flag. If you are not natural with your partner or you are try to mold yourself too much then your are in fake relationship. In real relationship your partner accepts you with all flows and you do the same.
