 🌍 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 . United States: Police brutality, mass incarceration, and racial wealth gaps. Europe: Islamophobia, anti-Roma discrimination, and refugee 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.

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. For years, expensive bags have been the ultimate trophy—symbols of power, taste, and “making it.” But beneath the shiny leather and stitched monograms lies a deeper question: Are we actually buying luxury—or just buying into the idea of it? 💸 What You’re Really Paying For Let’s get one thing straight: most luxury handbags don’t cost nearly as much to make as they’re sold for . That $3,000 bag you’re eyeing? It might cost $200–$500 to produce, materials and labor included. So where does the rest of the price go?

  Power of Patience in Life Introduction Have you ever felt like giving up because things just weren’t moving fast enough? Maybe you’ve been putting in the work—day after day—only to feel like the results are still out of reach. In moments like these, we often forget one powerful ingredient for long-term success: patience . In today’s fast-paced world, learning how to be patient can feel like a challenge. But whether you’re building a dream or rebuilding your life, one truth remains: it’s all about patience . The Power of Patience The power of patience lies not in simply waiting—but in how we wait .

It helps us stay grounded, improves our decision-making, and allows us to handle stress mo...

A personal reflection on anxiety, overthinking, and silent emotional chaos.

  From Scared of the Dark to Peace in the Dark 🌪️ Living in Fear: A State of Constant “What Ifs” There was a time when I was afraid of almost everything. What if I fail? What if people leave? What if I’m not good enough? Fear was my default setting. I played life safely — never too high, never too deep — just somewhere in the middle. Comfortable. Predictable. Numb. But the truth is: a life lived in fear isn't lived at all. ✨ The Turning Point: When Life Gently Breaks You Open My shift didn’t happen overnight. It came through breakdowns, disappointments, and quiet heartbreaks that slowly pushed me inward. I started journaling, listening to spiritual talks, and learning to sit with my discomfort instead of running from it. One night, I whispered to myself, “Maybe I don’t need all the answers right now. Maybe I just need to breathe.” 🌈 What Helped Me Move from Fear to Peace? If you’re in that place of unease, I want to share what helped me: 📝 1. Writing My Truth Journa...

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. Of watching others move ahead while you stayed behind, clutching tightly to the last shred of belief in yourself. You remember checking your inbox a hundred times a day. You remember walking out of i...
