Racism Is a Global Issue — So Is the Fight Against It

 🌍 Racism Has No Borders — And Neither Should the Fight Against It By Sakshi Gupta 🧭 Introduction Racism isn’t just a problem in one country. It exists everywhere — in schools, in governments, in police forces, and even online. From police brutality in the U.S. to caste discrimination in India, and anti-immigrant hate in Europe, racism is a global issue — and it demands a global response. 🌐 A Global Problem With Local Faces In every region, racism looks different — but it’s always about power and exclusion .

India: Casteism and violence against Dalits and Adivasis. China: Systematic oppression of Uyghur Muslims. South Africa: Deep economic inequality along racial lines decades after apartheid.

You’re Not Buying a Bag—You’re Buying an Illusion

The Ugly Truth Behind Expensive Bags: Status Symbol or Just Smart Marketing? “Are you buying a bag—or borrowing a feeling of worth?” ✨ The Glamour Trap We’ve all seen them. The sleek Hermès Birkin swinging on a celeb’s arm. The crisp Louis Vuitton logo splashed across Instagram posts.

The Quiet Storm in My Head

  When Overthinking Starts to Haunt Me By Sakshi Gupta Some days, my biggest enemy isn’t the world—it’s my own thoughts. I can be doing something simple—washing my hands, lying in bed, or staring at the ceiling—and suddenly I’m replaying a random conversation from a week ago. Wondering if I said the wrong thing. Overanalyzing the way someone replied. Thinking about what I could’ve done differently. And that’s how overthinking starts.

From Fear to Peace: How I Learned to Embrace the Dark

  From Scared of the Dark to Peace in the Dark 📌 Introduction The dark used to terrify me. Not just the absence of light—but the silence, the stillness, the unknown. It felt like everything I feared came alive when the lights went out. My thoughts would race, my chest would tighten, and I’d wish for morning to come faster. But over time, something changed. I stopped fighting the dark. I started listening to it. 🌑 Why We Fear the Dark Darkness often feels like a mirror to our own mind. It strips away distractions. It forces us to sit with ourselves—our memories, regrets, fears, and insecurities. As children, we feared monsters under the bed. As adults, the monsters moved into our heads. The dark becomes a symbol of the unknown—of things we can’t control. And we, as humans, crave control. 🌌 The Turning Point One night, in the middle of one of my usual anxious spirals, I didn’t turn on the light. I sat still. I let the darkness wrap around me like a blanket, not ...

The First Job: When Dreams Begin to Walk

With Dreams in Our Eyes: When the First Job Becomes Reality “The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” – Eleanor Roosevelt There’s a special kind of magic in firsts. The first time you ride a bicycle. The first time you win something. The first time someone believes in you. But among life’s many milestones, few are as emotional and life-changing as your first job . Because it’s not just a job. It’s a beginning. It’s the first step toward your dreams, your independence, and everything you’ve worked for — often in silence, often with tears, always with hope. The Journey Before the Offer Letter Behind every “Congratulations, you’re hired” is a story. A story of sleepless nights and anxious interviews. Of rejections that stung like heartbreaks.

You remember walking out of i...
