last night, i accidentally joined a stock trading group thinking it was a yoga class. there i was, awkwardly trying to do downward dog while they were yelling about "buying Vodafone Idea shares." turns out, flexibility isn't the only thing i lack; my social skills are even worse. everyone turned to look at me, and i just froze like a deer in headlights. yaar, matlab samjho na, now i question if th...
it's not that i care about stocks, yaar, matlab samjho na, but seeing everyone getting excited over these Vodafone Idea shares hits differently. i scrolled through my contacts and realized, it’s just me stuck in a cycle. people thriving, and here i am, feeling like an investment gone wrong, just waiting for a rebound that never comes. do they even see me or is my life just a statistic? the panic o...
ever watch your friends buy their first homes or fancy cars while you’re just trying to figure out how to make rent? that’s me. it feels like im watching a highlight reel while my life’s stuck on the blooper reel. they all seem to have it together, and here i am, waiting for the universe to drop a miracle in my lap. i lied about not going out because i’m “busy,” when really, i just can’t afford it. i tell myself maybe one day things will shift. and for a split second, i think—what if coal india stocks skyrocket and solve all my problems? not that it’s realistic, but a person can dream, right? #CoalIndiaShare #delusions

literally just saw this thing about the chinese new year parade, and it reminded me of the last time I felt a spark of connection. my parents showed up unannounced, and the chaos in my apartment was like a forgotten festival, except there were no fireworks, just dirty dishes and crumpled dreams. I have all these contacts but honestly, nobody to call when I’m low. who knew adult life would feel mor...
