The way we perceive is the way we harness – Cheers to my 13th Diaversery.

-

💛Completing my 13 years with type 1 Diabetes envelops 18,000 pricks (approx.), a cataract surgery, swallowing bitter juices, 500 hospital visits, sweating muscles, plenty of sleepless nights, and building an optimistic perception with a lovely smile. This lifetime relationship is experiencing a more challenging bond yearly (indeed with smiles and tears).

Developing my ability to perceive situations positively leads to a higher level of joy, contentment, and inner peace. I consistently try to take personal responsibilities, weaving compassion for myself and others, accepting that being different is better than being the best, and never forgetting to activate my pause button when triggered by low vibrational emotions. 

 According to psychologist Linda Humphreys, perception is the lens through which we view people, events, and things. It profoundly impacts how we mold, shape, and influence life experiences. 🌜Harnessing is collecting, controlling, and utilizing our ideas and energy effectively. Acquiring a positive perception of life always instructs our subconscious mind to harness it productively. Researchers state that our perception is based on our beliefs, thoughts, and behaviors, and our unconscious visual beliefs play a very significant role in how we perceive objects.

Change your perception of things, and you will change your reality. After all, your perception is your (not actual) reality.🌠

My Silver Strands at 27🩶

-
💜 I love adding colours to my world be it on a canvas or a sketchbook. But when it comes to my hair, I choose not to colour them. I recently came across an interesting fact: A butterfly cannot see its own wings. Others admire its beauty, but it remains unaware of its own splendour. Similarly, people around me appreciate my clarity, maturity, and perspective on life, yet they struggle to accept my grey hair. Their resistance confuses me every time. Ironically, I am doing PhD on the issues related to ageing populations, and it seems my body took the topic too seriously! Jokes apart, my hair has become an unintentional statement one that I now wear with quiet confidence.  I get constant reminders from people walking on the road to attending conferences and weddings about these silver linings .  The irony? I don’t notice my grey strands unless I look in a mirror. And so, I let them (both people and hair) be, just as I let life unfold naturally and in its own time. Being a  ...

In His Time, I Grew

-
It’s been 10 years since I began studying economics, nothing more than learning to estimate costs, quantify variables, and evaluate outcomes. But for the past 27 years, I’ve lived as the second daughter of a man whose time, love, and effort can never be measured by any economic modelling or empirical evidence. No formula can capture the cost of his sacrifices as standing under the harsh sun outside my exam centre, gazing at hospital corridors during my checkups, running for college admissions, or waiting alone on an airport bench through the night, just to see me return safely from my first international solo trip. I may not be living a perfectly healthy and wealthy life, but he always makes sure I’m living one worth everything. And every time someone says, “Bilkul papa pe gayi hai”, my heart swells with pride because that’s the best compliment I could ever receive. His timeless efforts have sparked a feeling in me to transform the moment I was born with the words "Firse beti hui ...

The Pain and The Gain🌻

-
The very first rule of living with nephropathy is simple yet harsh: no painkillers for the rest of my life. At first, that thought felt unbearable, as how could I possibly manage pain without relief? But over time, I’ve learned something essential: pain is inevitable, suffering is optional. Pain will always show up, but suffering comes from how we choose to respond to it. Life has taught me that when the quick fixes are taken away, when you can no longer numb discomfort, you’re left with only one option: to face it. And in that facing, something shifts. Pain stops being an enemy to fight against and becomes a teacher. It teaches you your limits, your strength, and your resilience. I think of it like living with photosensitive eyes. Brightness overwhelms me, intensity blinds me, and yet over time, my eyes adjust. That sensitivity, though uncomfortable, also allows me to notice things others might miss, like the subtle hues, the quiet details, the richness of the world’s colours. I am no...
