When Planning Feels Impossible

-

Ahhhhhhh,

This is too much. I feel exhausted, nervous, overwhelmed, and hopeless.

I don’t know why this keeps happening to me—it’s incredibly draining. Whenever I make a plan, someone interrupts me with household tasks. I feel guilty refusing because I don’t want anyone to think I’m disrespectful or a bad person. But honestly, it feels suffocating.

Sharing Some Recent Actions

Last night, I made a proper plan and woke up early today, feeling ready to study. I freshened up and organized my desk, and just as I sat down to begin, my mom came and asked me to boil milk for her because she was getting late for school (she’s a teacher).

I thought, “Okay, this won’t take much time.”
So I got up and did it.

But then, after about 30 minutes, my dad needed tea and breakfast. Once again, I stepped away to help. Just as I finished, he returned after a while, asking for more help. At that point, I started wondering if I would even get a chance to study today.

I felt completely overwhelmed 😩😫 and stuck—mainly because I can’t say no. Somewhere in my mind, I keep thinking, “If I help them now, maybe they’ll help me someday when I need it.” So I end up doing things for everyone—family members, relatives, even strangers—without giving it a second thought.

Yesterday, I stayed up late and spent nearly an hour and a half researching chemistry lectures. I even discussed everything with my online friend to finalize a solid study plan. But today, when I finally sat down to study at 9 A.M., the endless tasks began again.

I couldn’t follow my plan.
The day slowly turned into a cycle of exhaustion and frustration.

At this point, I’ve accepted one thing: whenever I make a plan, the first day of action always turns out to be overwhelming, tiring, and chaotic. 🙄😳😳

Yahi Sach Hai: My Perspective on Life

-
Disclaimer Yeh blog Hinglish mein likha gaya hai, kyunki mujhe lagta hai ki Hinglish emotions aur feelings ko zyada naturally convey karti hai. Kahaan se shuru karun, samajh nahi aa raha. Kuch din pehle maine ek novel ka chapter padha tha— “Yahi Sach Hai.” Yeh chapter mere dil ke kaafi kareeb hai. Maine ise teen baar padha hai, aur har baar kuch naya sikhne ko mila. Waise, yeh novel mujhe meri badi didi ne diya tha, aur unka favorite chapter bhi yehi hai. Is chapter ki kuch lines mujhe bahut pasand aayi, jaise: “फिर अठारह वर्ष की आयु में किया हुआ प्यार भी कोई प्यार होता है भला! निरा बचपन होता है, महज पागलपन! उसमें आवेश रहता है पर स्थायित्व नहीं, गति रहती है पर गहराई नहीं। जिस वेग से वह आरम्भ होता है, जरा-सा झटका लगने पर उसी वेग से टूट भी जाता है। … और उसके बाद आहों, आँसुओं और सिसकियों का एक दौर, सारी दुनिया की निस्सारता और आत्महत्या करने के अनेकानेक संकल्प, और फिर एक तीखी घृणा। जैसे ही जीवन को दूसरा आधार मिल जाता है, उन सबको भूलने में एक दिन भी नहीं लगता। तब एकाएक एहसास होता है कि...

Mere Mann Mein Kya Chal Raha Hai?

-
Main kya kar raha hoon, kyun kar raha hoon, kya soch raha hoon, kya plan hai, kya chahta hoon— mere mann mein kya chal raha hai, mujhe kuch samajh nahi aa raha. Raat ko der tak jagta hoon. Na padh raha hoon, na kahin baahar ja raha hoon. Main kisse kya bol raha hoon, ye bhi samajh nahi aa raha. Main itna kyun soch raha hoon? Aakhir main chahta kya hoon— ye bhi samajh nahi aa raha. Zyada kisi se baat nahi kar paata. Aisa nahi hai ki baat karna nahi chahta, par log milte hi nahi. Waise bhi, kisko kya bataun? Khud ko hi samajh nahi aa raha. Koi pooch leta hai, “Kaise ho?” “Kaisi chal rahi hai padhai?” aur main jhooth bol deta hoon. Par main jhooth bol hi kyun raha hoon? Main sach keh kyun nahi deta? Na jaane ye sab isi waqt kyun hona tha… Mera mann kahin aur hai, dhyaan kahin aur. Main chahta kuch aur hoon, aur ho kuch aur raha hai. Ab to ye bhi samajh nahi aa raha ki jo kar raha hoon, wo sahi bhi hai ya nahi. Raat ko der tak jaagna, un kaale aasmaanon mein si...

The Last Days of January & A Fresh Start in February ✨

  January 31st – The End of a Chapter I woke up at 7:25 A.M. on January 31st , feeling neutral. It was the last day of the month, and I had mixed emotions—thinking about what I had accomplished, what I had missed, and what I needed to do next. After freshening up, my day started with a cup of tea that I made for myself and my family members. I went to study in the sunlight, where my siblings were already studying because the next day ( February 1st ) was their board exam. I was studying Physics to complete my syllabus. My sister was revising Biology , and my brother was analyzing question patterns and sending some important questions to his friends. I was studying too, but I kept observing them. I knew that their analyzed questions might not help much, but I still encouraged them, saying, “This is good, but revise other chapters as well.” By midday—almost 1:00 P.M. —my sister took my phone, and I went to eat something. That was my free time. After about 1.5 hours , around 2:4...

31st December – The Last Day of 2024

-
Image
Someone once said, “If the end is good, then everything is good.” I had thought of something similar long ago, and with that hope, I wanted to make the last day of the year my best day. My goal was simple—to reflect on my good deeds, bad habits, and mistakes, and welcome a better version of myself into the new year. The last day wasn’t anything extraordinary, yet it had its own quiet charm. Honestly, this year turned out worse than I had expected . Still, amidst the struggles, there were moments of growth and learning that shaped me in ways I didn’t realize at the time. One major highlight was attending weddings and traveling alone to my relatives’ house . For me, this was a big achievement, as my parents rarely allow me to go anywhere alone. Traveling solo to another district was a fresh and enriching experience. Even now, as I write this, memories from that journey fill my mind and remind me how far I’ve come in terms of independence. I had planned to make the last day productive, ...

This Wasn’t the End—Just Another Beginning

-
I thought everything was fine 🙂, but it turned out to be just a fleeting dream. Yesterday, I realized this wasn’t the end—it was only the beginning of another side of the problem. And trust me, it feels terrible… I can’t explain much, but I’m hoping for the best. Maybe by the end of this week, things will settle again. Thanks to my siblings, who are still handling everything carefully. The situation is so bad that I can’t even focus on my studies at home. My elder sister, who is preparing for UPSC and BPSC,  has taken charge of things. Meanwhile, I—the one who knows everything and is directly involved—was the first in the family to figure it out and explain it carefully to her. I feel completely drained. There’s no energy left for studies—just exhausting days, one after another. I tried my best, but nothing seems to be working, and now my studies are suffering. 😭😭 For the past week, my mental health has been terrible. I had a fever of 102°F , but I didn’t tell my parents the rea...
