Royal Enfield, Roses, and Reels: The Cliché that is the Pre-Wedding Shoot

Image
What We Definitely Don’t Need (maybe): The Pre-Wedding Photoshoot Let’s talk about one of the most bizarre trends of modern-day weddings: the Pre-Wedding Photoshoot . A concept so dramatic, it feels like a Bollywood audition rather than a celebration of love. Picture this: couples dolled up like they’re Shahrukh Khan and Kajol, posing on a train track, staring deeply into each other’s eyes as if they’re part of some romantic cinematic climax. But let’s pause for a second. Is it even your story being told in those photos? Or are you just recreating someone else’s script with better lighting? People are now investing an enormous amount of time, money, and energy into capturing a version of their love that looks great on Instagram but often feels nothing like reality. It’s exhausting. It’s expensive. It’s overwhelming. And most importantly it’s unnecessary. Ask Yourself These Three Simple Questions: Where will the pictures end up? On the wall of your bedroom? Lost...

The Death of Dopamine Dressing: Who Hurt You?

Image
Dopamine dressing is dead, and all we’re left with is a lifeless wardrobe. So, tell me—who stole your color? A Rant, A Reflection, A Revival?! It’s Day 3 of me walking past a gym that feels more like a black hole literally and metaphorically. Picture this: a swarm of toned bodies clad almost entirely in black, paired with whites or beige if they dare to rebel . It's like they’ve signed an unspoken pact with monochrome minimalism. Curious (and maybe a little concerned), I tossed the question to a gym-rat friend of mine “Why black ? Why always black?” What followed was a deep dive into the color psychology of fitness fashion, and here's what we found: Black = Confidence Armor: Apparently, black clothes give an illusion of being more toned. The shadows, the contours, the muscle flex all hit different under black. It’s less an outfit, more a performance enhancer. Effortless Pairing: Black is the modern lazy genius. It goes with anything, needs ...

What's your hobby, Commenting on reels

Image
I figured out the new hobby in me which is known as, "making people understand that this is how exactly we should do it" in other words commenting. The spectrum of comments can be vividly seen from tagging ones to dark jokes extends to populating comment box with "Bhaichara on Top", "Systudouble'M'", forwards to pick up lines and then the unforgettable roast comments, gifs section has a separate fanbase just like stickers on WhatsApp. Let us not get deviate from the topic of the moment.  Earlier as a spectator to reels sometimes it pisses me off when a certain thing should be done in a specific manner but to make it more cooler or cringe they ruin it. Then a very decent emoji from my keyboard pops up "💀" with the exact strong opinion concluded in a line or a two. That's how I roll.  Well, delving deep into my brain and observing patterns of people (including me) why they do so.  There arises three possibilities: Engagemen...

The Art of Nomenclature

I couldn't help but burst into laughter when I encountered a girl named Maya during my trip to Rishikesh, living the life of a hermitess. Maya and hermitess don't exactly align, but there it was. Despite the irony of her name, synonymous with worldly illusions, she was on a mission to dodge Moh-Maya's grip. Observing this made me realize the significance behind the names we assign to things in our daily lives. The entire market revolves around the art of Nomenclature and how products are named: 1. In foreign countries these days, the crystalline form of deodorant is becoming very popular. Surprisingly, it's nothing but Fitkari (Alum). They're branding it as a crystal stick that kills harmful bacteria and is unscented. Tadow! Quite shocking, right? and it was reviewed by a user, "Crystal Mineral Deodorant Travel Stick is made of mineral salts which provide an invisible, protective barrier that blocks odor before it starts. This effective deodorant is non-sticky,...
