Indian Version of Halloween

-

It's Halloween season, and while the world fears ghosts, witches, and zombies in India, we have our own unique set of horrors.

Ghosts? Meh, we’ve been facing real terror for years!

Imagine:

The aunties who randomly show up and ask, When are you getting married? Like, please, I’m just trying to survive my weekend in peace!

Uncles who’ll casually walk up and say, It’s time to settle down. Settle what, Uncle? The debate between Netflix and gym? 

The legendary ‘What will society and relatives say?’ kind, which stalks at every corner, waiting to criticize your every action. These people make rom-coms out of horror films!

Ever noticed how Indian families don’t need Halloween to scare you? Try telling your parents you want to follow your passion... they’ll give you a look that makes The Conjuring feel like a fairy tale.

And let’s not forget the real haunted houses: Relatives’ WhatsApp groups. Full of conspiracy theories, outdated news, and mysterious ‘good morning’ images that appear at 6 AM sharp, no matter what!

So, this Halloween, while others dress up as ghosts, we’ll be running away from marriage proposals, career advice from every relative, and the fear of random visitors. 

Let’s face it, we’ve been dealing with this desi horror since Day 1.

Happy Halloween, India! You’ve got nothing on us.

There was a time when I constantly questioned, “Why is this happening to me?” I wanted to escape those moments of misery, but gratitude helped me shift my mindset and heal.

Feeling lost because of not being able to do my job anymore, go out with friends, enjoy the things I love the most, not able to focus on anything, loss of appetite, and b...

Self-discovery is not about finding something outside ourselves; it’s about reconnecting with who we truly are.

By taking time to reflect, we can align our actions with our inner selves, leading to a more fulfilling and beautiful life. How to Start Reflecting?
