What is it that a woman desires? To be noticed not just for her looks but also for how enlightened she is. Like any other woman in the world, I wish for nothing besides being taken seriously. This however does not come as easily as it does to men, who can command respect with their strong husky voices. If this were something a woman were to do, she might as well be tagged as inelegant. To succeed in this male dominated world, it becomes necessary to grab your own throne and that’s impossible without dressing up like a queen.
With all these thoughts in my head, to dress the part; to impress; to prove my worth and to walk with my head held high, I entered an Allen Solly store, instantly realizing that this is where I was meant to be. This is when I first came across a beautiful pair of pink ballerina shoes which I immediately fell in love with.
Our intimate relationship with shoes, I believe, begins the moment we learn to walk. haven’t we all slipped on a pair of our mother’s shoes? Or made that first independent pair of footwear with the aim of showcasing our personality? The moment you find that perfect pair, a boost of dopamine gushes through your body, providing a high no less than a feel-good drug.
Shoes maybe the best accessory that were ever created, instantly spicing up an outfit, adding that missing glitter to one’s life. I have always dreamed of dancing, but alas I was born with 2 left feet. But the moment I put on those beautiful sandals from Allen Solly, I felt as though I could achieve anything that my heart desired. I recall clicking my heels as a sprung out of the store, towards a better day, a better life and a better future.
Ever been irritated by people crying about the minor inconveniences that they may be experiencing in their life? If you haven’t, you must be a saint. November, which is just 4 months away, is the National Diabetics month. Diabetes is a job one can never quit. Imagine getting drained both emotionally and physically with this incurable, invisible disease, while the others tell you that ‘There is a bright light at the end of this tunnel’.
I have been a part of the diabetic community for over 19 years now. You may have seen kids running around the park with cones of ice cream in their hands, at this moment, 5-year-old me would have probably been in a room getting an insulin shot because I ate too much. But that’s in the past, with age comes tenacity. I have come to the realization that complaining about things you can’t control is draining. Set to prove that I am above a minor illness, I decided to challenge myself, taking about BDS as my graduation. Because of the itch to do the next big thing, I decided to pursue MBA, where life is nothing but a race against a time and you wish that the days were just a little bit longer, because every second counts.
In order to rule the world, you should know what goes on in the world. We all have issues, some big some not so big, dwelling in these is what holds one back. Pursing success is like chasing a rainbow, the faster you are, the farther it gets from you. The key is to be patient and gain as much knowledge as you can along the journey; to not take failures and insults personally, but instead as guiding stones to success. Success is jumping from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm, its not in what you do or do not have but in what you are, so be the best version of yourself.
