Welcome Post!

Hi, 
 
I am Mehak, a student currently residing in Mumbai. I've been blogging for the past two years. The blogging experience is great, though it has its own set of challenges. I started my first blog with the ambition of connecting people with one another through shared principles and ideas.
 
When Jaden Smith on a podcast said, "Man, can we talk about the political-economic situation of the world right now?". In 2021, I would have supported him with all my heart. I believe a well-informed Gen Z could make better decisions for tomorrow than our preceding generations could achieve for the good of humanity. But after a decent level of university education, I guess it's just too early to take on such a heavy responsibility right now.
 
So I am doing what I hope most of my peers should do. Taking a back seat, let the oldies fight over land, resources, and power. In the meantime, I would read a book or two, navigate this life, and maybe share something online. This year, I decided to be more of a person or human in my writing than a poorly crafted PR machine for Beyonce (you know, when she's talking big things, she's being unrealistic, and I believe she doesn't actually believe in a lot of the talk she does). This is just a personal opinion.
 
So I plan to keep this project open for a year or two. Every day, I would promise myself to dedicate two hours to this page, sharing my thoughts on the most absurd observations or issues I face, directly or indirectly. Stay tuned for more madness that is coming your way! 
 
Huzzah! 
 
Mehak.

Girlhood, a bad economy, and urge to stay hot

Girlhood, a bad economy, and urge to stay hot  I spent the majority of March 2025 shopping. Books, clothes, makeup, accessories—everything in between. Legend says I’m still hunting for the next cute shirt and matching pants. But girl, to be a girl in  this  economy is almost murderous. So what the hell is even happening? How do brands justify that the cute top you like—handcrafted with love (and probably child labour) in Vietnam—costs INR 2,000? Why is life, existence, and the pursuit of aesthetic bliss suddenly so expensive? Is it Trump’s tariffs? Then fine, dude, I’ll swim across the ocean like a colonizing 18th-century man riddled with disease to fetch my clothes. But wait—those tariffs don’t even apply to our beloved desi land. Are we in a recession? Twitter’s been whispering “recession” since the pandemic ended, but officially, we’re in projection limbo. Too many rhetorical questions. Too little time. Anyway. Why should I pay Zomato INR 300+ for 10 steamed momos? Or ...

Mid Week Conandrum - My take on Marriage

  Hello Blog,  Welcome to Mid-week Conundrum!  About Mid-week Conundrum:  Every week, I'll dive into our curious conversations – the ones that spark a thought, make you wonder, or shift your perspective. In a jist, it is a snapshot of the world through the lens of everyday talk. It’s the mid-week breather you didn’t know you needed, with a twist of insight, curiosity, and reflection. ___________________________________________________________________________________ My Take On Marriages   Carrie Bradshaw has been my muse this week. Her ‘research’ methods—if you can call them that—drive me to write this blog daily. Today, I conducted my own research, and here are my findings. Someone at work asked me who my favourite actor was. Simple enough, right? Until I realized all my old favourites are now either unattractive, aged, or embroiled in scandal—yes, I’m looking at you, Leonardo DiCaprio. I knew my answer would be judged, and while I could have said Vicky Kaushal...

From the vault: Xavier's Khandala Trip

  From the Vault: Xavier's Khandala Trip  Hey Blog,  30th June 2024 - It's been a year since I wrote the below article. I was clearing my drafts and suddenly I saw this post. I hope for some people it brings some sweet memories of our time at Xavier's Institute of Communication, Mumbai. This post was written exactly a year ago, today.  Pre Workshop Thoughts:  7th June 2023: I am beyond nervous about our upcoming trip to Khandala. The thing is that it has been three or four days so far into the programme. I haven't interacted much with my classmates. My close friends have been nothing but super supportive. I am actually desperate to meet them too. But our schedule has been so tight that I haven't gotten a chance to catch up on some sleep or a breather. Anyway, so far I have narrowed down which bag I would take to the trip. But that bag is too big for a one-day sleepover exertion. I wish someone I would have shared this experience with someone from school or coll...
