Unfortunately, I passed all these exams, and my family and I chose the easiest option - business studies under the aegis of University of Delhi, which I could attend while staying at home. On the face of it, it was a highly coveted course, and everyone was happy. Always having dreamt of being a columnist, I put media at the back of my mind.

It may sound counter-intuitive, but I believe many people are depressed because they live excessively in their own heads. And when you live a life centered in your mind, you are turned inward, likely listening to a constant inner dialogue of judgement and criticism: I'm not good enough, beautiful enough, strong enough.
