Stuck in a Love Loop

It happened 7 years ago, but the memories are as vivid as if it were yesterday. That year was undoubtedly the best of my life, as I experienced the magic of falling in love. Deeply enamored by the feeling, I was eager to explore this emotion. However, my heart and mind were in constant conflict. Being an emotional person, my heart led the way, unbeknownst to me at the time.

It was a cold winter night, and I, a college student working part-time at a library, was wrapped in layers of warm clothing. Little did I know that on January 30th, 2012, my life would take an unexpected turn. I laid eyes on a stranger who would later become my best friend, soul mate, lover, and husband.

Our connection blossomed rapidly as we chatted through the night. The adrenaline rushed through me, and I felt alive and happy. However, doubt and fear crept in as I questioned my intense feelings for someone I just met. Despite the societal taboo against dating in my community, I couldn't resist the magnetic charisma of this boy.

As I immersed myself in a dream world with him, my heart fluttered when he expressed his feelings. No one had ever held such power over my mind, body, and soul. Though I distanced myself, his message saying "I miss you" shattered my apprehensions. I realized I might be falling for this charming stranger.

This newfound revelation both thrilled and frightened me. I was in love with this boy, and the thought of him potentially feeling the same was exhilarating and nerve-wracking at once.

It's a Love Story and I Said Yes!

Illustrator: Akanksha Thapa They say love happens to you when you least expect it and it couldn’t be truer than in my case. Little did I know on that fateful day of January 30th 2012, that my life was about to change forever. That’s the day I met my soul mate and this is my story. Love happened to me in the second year of my college. Let me recap: I was bored to death with the robotic routine of go to college, come back home, eat and sleep so I was desperately looking for something more to do. That’s when I saw an ad outside a small book store in my neighborhood. It read: “Librarian Wanted.” Mind you, for a hyper 19-year-old me, it sounded like music! I laughed to myself, “So they’re gonna pay me to just sit there and read books? That’s awesome!” And so it began, my sojourn of working as a part-time librarian in that private local library. All I had to do was make a note of who was borrowing which book and I was set! I was feeling great about my new job and I was over the...

The man behind Grameen Mall

Knowing Sitaram Knowing Sitaram: Having been born and brought up in a family with its roots firmly held in a rustic setting, my interest in agriculture sprouted at a young age. After finishing my master's in Microbiology, I swayed away towards a career in the Pharmaceutical sector. In this endeavor, I learned team building skills and effective sales. I also got promoted to key positions and received several accolades and awards. Though I enjoyed my work, I had a persistent urge and inclination towards farming. The Newton Moment: The distress experienced by the farming community, from suicides to their unfruitful migration to cities, had a profound impact on me as a teenager. I tried deciphering the reasons behind this escalating tragedy. I could see certain unaddressed issues like the depletion of water resources, increasing input cost, lack of proper market linkage, etc. I put myself ...

Why Dress Up? Fashion or Personality

No, I am not a fashion designer or the fashion police, nor am I a fashion diva. I simply believe in comfort, and I've worn mismatched and unflattering clothes for years, not caring about how I looked. To me, it was about being carefree, but to others, it seemed careless. I used to believe that it shouldn't matter what others think of you, but I've come to realize that certain situations in life require you to be taken seriously, and if you don't care about your appearance, no one else will either. Recently, I landed a job in the fashion world, which made me reflect on my hidden passion for fashion. I've always wanted to work for a fashion and lifestyle magazine, and it seems that my choice of Mass Communication as my field of study was aligned with this passion. I've always been drawn to fashionable things, from style and lifestyle to trends, makeup, and beauty. I admire women who carry themselves with grace and style, and I constantly read article...
