Oksana Makar was brutally gang-raped, strangled, and burned alive — the world really ended in 2012
Oksana Makar, an 18-year-old girl who was raised in Mykolaiv, southern Ukraine — in a male-dominated society, was living her usual life on the night of 8th March 2012. She was invited by two of her friends to their pal’s house — normal fun, a casual day in the life of every teenage girl who likes to enjoy gatherings with her friends. It was supposed to be a good time — she probably picked out her best clothes and left something in her fridge to eat when she came back home.
She never came back.
The gathering which looked like…
Deviled anxiety symptoms and how we can fix ourselves in those moments.
“Man is not worried by real problems so much as by his imagined anxieties about real problems”
― Epictetus
We have all been there, we have been the attendants of anxiety in our lives — some of us aren’t even aware of it being our regular visitor, we just keep living our lives. For some reason, I am glad anxiety is a feeling and not a human being, because if it was to have a body, it would have been pretty muscular and impossible to be shaken or taken down.
You will regret leaving people behind and there is nothing after death — it is all dark and gloomy.

One of my feet followed the other quietly, and I could hear people talking —but they weren’t real. It was my mind creating them, and my psychosis that was hidden from everyone, even my parents. It was listing things I didn’t want to hear, and showing me faces I didn’t want to see. My thoughts were against me.
The stairs that led me to the rooftop of my double-story building were dusty on the night of…
People can’t breathe, dead bodies in India are piling as the Covid cases increase.
The first wave of Corona killed many people, but I think we were more scared and prepared then, as compared to how we are now. The deadly virus has taken over a whole Country on extreme levels, just the way we used to watch in those horror outbreak movies.
The second wave of the Corona Virus has crushed the population of India. More than 300,000 new cases of COVID-19 emerged and more than 2263 deaths were announced — making the highest death record in a day.
People are dying but is the virus to blame? Not entirely.
On Wednesday, 24…
We can no longer believe what we see — it’s not humans, it’s the computers.
Back when I was 13, the only thing that occupied my mind in the dead of the night was having someone like Forest Gump in my life — I don’t think people as nice as him exist anymore. Who wouldn’t want somebody who was met and praised by John F. Kennedy? The first time I watched this movie, I was convinced that Mr. Gump was my kind of a guy and that one day, I would say out loud how we are like “Two peas…
I lost 55 pounds and controlled my symptoms. If I can do it, you can too.

The cruel hold of PCOS
Do you have irregular periods, hair fall, weight gain, acne, and hirsutism? If yes, then there is a possibility that you might be 1 in every 10 women who have PCOS.
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal disorder seen in women of reproductive age. Women with PCOS may have problems with their menstruation cycles, chances of infertility, and high levels of male hormones (androgens). If you have these symptoms, It is time to see a doctor without wasting any time.
A look back at my old self
It’s hard for me to look…
If you have these symptoms, you are 1 in 10 women.
I am a cyster.
A Wednesday noon of September 2016, I remember how my appointment with a dermatologist became a turning point in my life. I just wanted to get myself checked for the acne I was going through and why my hair was always pretty oily. Things took a dramatic turn when my doctor (who was supposed to give me something for my skin) asked me to get an ultrasound of my ovaries done — what a crazy doctor? I talked crap about how he didn’t know anything about my acne and hushed down his money-making scheme of a…
These little signs can later develop into the strongest feelings.
When we talk about love, we automatically start playing our favorite romantic movie on the big screen of our minds. Things move slow, and we kind of feel levitated in mid-air (just kidding). Love is tricky. When we are in love, half of the time is spent thinking if the other person is on the same side of the story or not. Do they look at us and give us a side smile? Do their eyes twinkle the same way when they look at other people or is it just for us? It is hard to tell.
Love is different…
Sometimes little kids teach us big lessons.
This pandemic has brought out a new side of me. I used to be the person who loved her alone-time but now, I really don’t like being alone. With that being said, the baby fever in me has grown to mind-blowing levels, and I know it won’t be going away anytime soon.
My sister moved in for the holidays and during that time, I learned how her babies are more like me than her. No wonder, they are witty and smart — they get it from their aunt. She has a 4-year-old daughter and a 7-year-old son. …
