Raw And Real with Sakshi

Yoga — the word itself feels so serene, right? You picture a peaceful morning, fresh air, a calm mind, and the perfect downward dog. Instagram is full of gorgeous shots of people gracefully flowing through poses like dancers. But then… reality hits. If you’ve ever tried yoga in your living room and found yourself tangled like a pretzel or falling flat during “Tree Pose,” you’re not alone. This blog post (and comic!) is a lighthearted look at what we expect yoga to be like versus what it’s actually like when we try it for ourselves. 😅 When Your Body Doesn’t Match the YouTube Video In the comic above, I captured one of the most relatable yoga moments — trying to mirror a calm, stable pose, and wobbling uncontrollably instead. You watch the instructor float into balance with their eyes closed, while you're blinking in confusion, wondering which leg goes where. That’s the funny part about self-growth practices like yoga. We think we’ll be perfect at it. But healing isn’t always ele...

🫀 Why Is There a Sudden Rise in Cardiac Arrest Cases? ![Insert your featured image here — center aligned, large size] In recent times, there has been a worrying increase in cardiac arrest cases , even among seemingly healthy people. Individuals who regularly go to the gym , practice yoga , eat right, and live consciously are suddenly collapsing without warning. What’s going on? Let’s break it down. ⚠️ What Is Cardiac Arrest? Cardiac arrest is a sudden loss of heart function , breathing, and consciousness. Unlike a heart attack, which is caused by a blocked artery, cardiac arrest is an electrical malfunction in the heart, often fatal if not treated within minutes. 🤔 Why Are Healthy People at Risk? Even people who appear healthy may have underlying risks: 🔹 1. Undiagnosed Heart Conditions Many people have congenital heart defects or conditions like hypertrophic cardiomyopathy that are not discovered unless tested. Fact: Some heart defects don’t show any symptoms until a stressful...

Love is one of the most powerful emotions we can experience. But it’s also one of the most misunderstood. Many believe that simply loving someone deeply is enough to sustain a relationship. Unfortunately, that’s not always true. Unexpressed love can still leave someone feeling lonely, neglected, or unloved. In this post, we’ll explore why love must be shown, not just felt , and how this truth can make or break a relationship. ❤️ Why Just Feeling Love Isn’t Enough You might love someone more than words can say. But unless that love is expressed through actions, it can go unnoticed. Relationships thrive on communication, consistency, and care — not assumptions. “I know you loved me. You just never made me feel it.” That sentence ends more relationships than betrayal ever could. 🚨 The Hidden Damage of Unspoken Love When you don’t show love: Your partner may feel emotionally unsafe They may start questioning their worth or your commitment Resentment can quietly build ...

Breakups are never easy. Whether it ended suddenly or after a long, difficult road, emotional pain is a natural part of separation. Healing takes time, intention, and compassion—especially for yourself. In this guide, we'll explore practical and empowering steps to help you emotionally heal after a breakup. EMOTIONAL HEALING AFTER BREAKUP 

  🌿 There Is No Tomorrow (A Spiritual Reflection) In the Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna reminds Arjuna: "You have a right to your actions, but not to the fruits thereof." We live entangled in outcomes— waiting for peace to arrive once success is achieved, postponing joy until we’ve healed, delaying truth until it’s convenient. But life, in its truest form, exists only in the present karmic moment . There is no tomorrow. Not in the way we romanticise it. Tomorrow is a shadow of the now— a concept created by the mind to comfort our indecision. But the soul knows better. It knows that breath, awareness, and action exist only here . We postpone love because we fear rejection. We defer forgiveness, waiting for perfect closure. We delay purpose, waiting for a clearer sign. But these are illusions. The universe never guaranteed us another sunrise. 🌸 Today is sacred. This moment is your dharma in motion. This silence, this ache, this joy— they are not preludes t...

There are days… When you wake up tired. Not because you didn’t sleep, But because you carry the weight of everything—and everyone. You make breakfast, answer calls, hit deadlines, remember birthdays, pay bills, smile at strangers, motivate others, and check in on people. And somewhere in between, you forget to check in on yourself. Responsibilities don’t pause. They don’t care if you’re mentally exhausted, emotionally stretched, or physically drained. They show up every day—and so do you. But here’s the truth no one talks about: There are days when responsibilities drain every part of you, but quitting? That’s never on the table. Not because you're superhuman. Not because you enjoy suffering. But because you've built a life around people and promises—and walking away feels like betrayal, not relief. You do it all while your own needs sit quietly in the background. You don't ask for much. You just keep showing up. But just because you're carrying it well ...

 There are battles we fight that never make it to the surface.

⚖️ Introduction: The Other Side of Gender Equality We often talk about women's rights, and rightly so. But rarely do we pause to ask — is the legal system truly fair to men too? In India and around the world, many men quietly face the consequences of legal biases — with no one to speak up for them. This post is not about taking sides. It’s about seeing the silent pain that often gets overlooked. 💔 Real Stories, Real Struggles A man falsely accused of dowry harassment loses his job and social standing — only to be acquitted years later. A father fighting for child custody is repeatedly denied visitation rights — despite being a responsible parent. Young men in college are suspended instantly on accusations — before any investigation concludes. These aren’t just isolated incidents. They reflect a pattern of presumed guilt , especially in emotional or family-related legal matters. 🧠 Why Is This Happening? While laws like IPC Section 498A, the Domestic Violence Act, and PO...

Bhagavad Gita Lessons That Apply to Modern Life Over 5,000 years old and still deeply relevant—the Bhagavad Gita isn’t just a spiritual scripture; it’s a guide to life, decision-making, and emotional resilience. Set on the battlefield of Kurukshetra, the Gita speaks to the battles we all face today—internally and externally. In a world filled with stress, uncertainty, and constant pressure, here are a few timeless teachings from the Bhagavad Gita that still resonate in modern life: 1. “Do your duty, not for reward.” (Chapter 2, Verse 47) Lesson: Focus on effort, not the outcome. We live in a results-driven world—grades, promotions, likes, and followers. The Gita reminds us to shift our focus to sincere effort. Obsessing over outcomes leads to anxiety. Do your best, and let go of the rest. 2. “You have the right to work, but never to the fruits of your actions.” Lesson: Detach from expectations. Letting go doesn’t mean not caring. It means doing your part wholehear...

Life is So Unpredictable – And That’s Okay Have you ever felt like everything was going according to plan—until it wasn’t? That’s life. Unpredictable. Unscripted. Often uncontrollable. One moment you’re cruising on a steady path, and the next, you're navigating an unexpected detour. It’s scary, yes. But it’s also where growth lives. The Beauty and Chaos of Uncertainty We live in a world that craves control. Calendars, five-year plans, and routines are our safety nets. But life doesn’t always follow our script. People come and go. Opportunities arise from nowhere. Tragedies strike without warning. The ground beneath us can shift in an instant. Just recently, the Ahmedabad plane crash shocked the nation. A day like any other turned into a moment of unimaginable sorrow for many families. People who were simply traveling—living their normal lives—never made it home. It was a painful reminder that life can change in a split second, and nothing is ever guaranteed. And yet, i...

In the scorching heat, even the smallest act of care — a glass of water, a bowl for birds — can bring comfort, connection, and compassion. As summer temperatures rise, so does the need for compassion. In the scorching heat, even the smallest act of care — a glass of water, a bowl for birds — can bring comfort, connection, and compassion. ☀️ Have you ever offered a bottle of water to a delivery worker? They ride or walk for miles in the sun, with barely a break. A simple "Would you like some water?" can change their day — and maybe yours, too. 🕊️ Have you placed a water bowl for birds outside your window or gate? Even animals feel the heat deeply. In many cities, summer is one of the hardest times for stray animals and birds to survive. A shallow bowl of clean water can be a lifeline. 🐾 Have you noticed the stray dog lying under the same tree every afternoon? Next time you pass by, leave a small water dish near their spot. You'll be surprised how quickly they...

From Lover to Leaver: A Journey Through Trauma, Strength & Self-Discovery I never imagined I’d have to write this story—because I never imagined you would become a memory. We were once everything to each other, inseparable, two souls that seemed like they were meant to grow old together. But love isn't always enough. 🌧️ The Breaking Point You stopped choosing me. Not suddenly, but slowly. In the way your texts became shorter, in how our calls were filled with silence, and in the way I began to feel lonelier beside you than when I was alone. You said, “You’ve changed.” Maybe I did. Maybe heartbreak ages the heart in quiet ways. 💔 The Pain of Letting Go I tried to hold on. I convinced myself that if I loved you harder, you’d remember why you loved me. I stayed even when my heart screamed to run. I silenced my pain to keep the peace. But love should not feel like begging for attention. It should never feel like one-sided sacrifice. 🦋 The Shift One day, I woke up and realized...
