Miss/Mr. World  Miss Universe  Miss/Mr. Asia  Miss/Mr. International  Mister Global  Miss/Mr. India  and many more  Have you heard of these?   Well, these are the famous titles that people compete for.  Beauty pageants or bodybuilding pageants are events or competitions that rank or judge contestants on the basis of their physical attributes.   Over a period of time, these have grown to give significance to the intellectual capacity and personality traits of the participants too.

MUMBAI - THE CITY OF DREAMS This place does wonders for its people by giving them a living. Standing right there with open arms, welcoming anyone and everyone, it definitely acts as a home for varied cultures. This diversity in the population makes it so rich and endearing.  I remember when I was told we had to move to Mumbai because of my father’s transfer.

To top that, I am...

Before diving into the article, I have a question for all my readers here. Is the brain a part of our own body? Did we all say yes..? Then what’s the need of creating so much stigma around it unlike the liver, kidneys, and the heart. Why is any other organ or body part dysfunctionality normal but low mental immunity such a huge issue? Let’s see, because society might call you crazy? Well, I believe that no one person is completely sane in this world. We all have our own share of dysfunctionalities and being a little offbeat will keep you going in this twisted world. But coming to the other side of being offbeat - the more serious levels of having low mental health immunity causing you emotional stress and pain that drives you crazy.  Yes, I am talking about all those times when people take depression, anxiety, stress, emotional vulnerability, and distancing, a joke and treat it like just a ‘phase’.  The foremost thing to understand and adapt here is that this is no fun and it ...
