I Wanted To Be Like Barbie. But Now It Makes No Sense

Image
I grew up people calling me a replica of Barbie. When I was 6, I owned just one but promised myself to buy more when I start earning. Now 20-something and 3 years of fat pay cheques later, Barbie never really appeared on my shopping list. 1.    Because my sense prevailed with age. 2.    Investing in food sounded better to me. The iconic doll celebrated her 60th birthday on March 9, 2019, and what surprised me, was that unlike every year, I completely forgot her birthday this time. Well, it's alright! After all, Barbie is not an inspiration to me anymore and shouldn't be for any of us. 36-18-33 That’s Barbie's vital statistics. Well, I am not even sure how that unusually lean body can store all the organs. Though what I am sure about is, that Mattel, the manufacturer, surely left her stomach out (hence, that figure). FYI, the stomach is probably the most important organ for me. Now follow the lyrics of the classic Barbie Girl song. I'm a Barbie girl,

How NOT to React to India-Pakistan Conflict

Image
It’s been more than two weeks since the Pulwama attack in J&K. I haven’t publicly commented on the whole incidence and its aftermath, although technically, as a Journalist, I should. But then I saw innumerable expert comments already displayed on my Facebook feed. Surprisingly, even people on my friend list who I thought can only make Tik Tok videos and share memes are also actively posting and sharing whatever anti-Pakistan posts they can find. So, do we need social media soldiers? Well... STOP!  According to my very recent observation, for every 50 stupid people, there is one smart person on Facebook. This one smart person understands that posting about the need to declare war is not going to help anyone. This person also knows that NO ONE from their family is going to fight in the war zone, so he/she shouldn’t encourage the idea of war as someone else might die.  In brief- Are you going to join the fight physically? No?! Then quit Facebook and go get a life.

You don't deserve 2018 if you still don't know these four things

It's a New Year but I know many of you may suffer from the  same heartbreaks, disappointments, insecurities, and bad days like last year and the year before that and so on. The reason is that you have not learned any lessons from the years that have passed and overlooked some facts which you should have known long ago.  So, why not get it straight out for once and all?  Well, your crush likes someone else And t hat could be the reason why he/she never paid attention to you in the first place. Or maybe you have not tried just enough to get their attention. More followers? It’s not how it looks  Never-ever feel bad about having less number of followers or likes on your social media accounts. Those having 1000+ followers can be seen having just about 100 likes on their pictures. So see, around 90% of their followers do not even give a fuck! So when in doubt, check their number of followers and then the number of likes on their pictures. Simple! Girls are not tha

5 Disney Princesses Who Have A Better Life Than Me

Image
I have not blogged for two months and I was kicking myself for not managing to write anything during that period. But I hope you already know that it is not always possible to do what we want due to certain circumstances (curse you work, tiredness and sleep). “Oh come on, you are not a Disney princess that everything will be good and perfect for you all the time,” I said to myself in order to calm down. But then I started counting exactly how many of these Disney girls had/have a better life than me…and there I found them! Sleeping beauty She slept for 100 years, and I don’t even remember the last time I slept for 8 hours. She wakes up to her saviour prince Phillip when she finally opens her eyes and I usually wake up to emails from my boss ranting about the last ppt I made. But that apart, honestly, I will knock off this Phillip guy if he kisses to wake a sleep-deprived person like me. No one needs you anymore Phillip! Rapunzel Her silky long hair is around 70 feet i

Annabelle and I

Image
After watching both the Annabelle movies, I am sure doll lovers like me will literally think twice before purchasing a big doll like that the next time. Already a lot of people have warned me that the dolls I have could be possessed like her but I never really paid any attention to them because I know my innumerous dolls are NOT evil. But then one sleepless night, I wondered what if someday this Annabelle doll appears in my house and refuses to leave? That got me thinking that what should I do with an evil doll like her? Firstly, makeover time She needs it big time. I don’t see why I will scare myself further with her existing haircut, that long white dress and over-the-top makeup? Hair chopped, shorter clothes (definitely no white clothes on her anymore) and a sober make up this time. Okay, better! Training session (I hope it works)- It’s been too long that Annabelle has stopped being a doll. Making her watch movies which have dolls (thank you Toy Story) might make her und

Attention! Spider-Man Is My Would-be Boyfriend!

Image
I am receiving hate emails in huge numbers since Wednesday, July 5, 2017. These were a gesture to the last blog I wrote which, according to most of my readers, was offensive in nature as the love between them and the love of their life is too strong to be valid with that blog. I am called a “pathetic arrogant/unlovable girl who can never make a boyfriend” by a sling of people in the ever-popping emails. It hurt me a bit. So, to refresh my mood, I went alone for the Spider-Man Homecoming movie. And bam! I realised that Spider-Man is exactly the guy I need as my boyfriend. He will save my travel time and money . My web-slinger boyfriend can be my best money-saving transport. All I have to do is cling to him and I reach office or anywhere on time with no traffic blues at all. We are also a pair made in heaven . Since I am a journalist and he is a freelance photographer, we can actually coordinate. You see, while I will do the news reporting part, he will be the cameraperson

Here’s Why Boyfriends Are Dumb!

Image
  First of all, who needs a boyfriend? Second, girls do need them. On one hand, we are talking about empowering girls every day and on the other hand, girls don’t think twice before asking boys for petty favours. The breed of boys—being mostly chicken head gets swayed away with every request the girl makes without thinking twice (or maybe they think but they do what they are told anyway!). So does that make them good hearted? No, that makes them dumb! Boyfriends, take note! Spending on girlfriends You know what, you would have been rich if you had saved your money rather than spending it on your girlfriend. From recharge to buying her new outfits, chocolates, teddies, getting her even those things which bear huge price tags, kidneys, and what not…you are just wasting it. You are her boyfriend not father, remember? And let’s be honest, do you really think she makes you buy all those clothes for her to impress you only? Got my point? Believing whatever they say Don’t be a dumbass
