WE ARE A FAMILY ❤

Blessed are those, those who have a family. I have seen so many of us not treating our parents, the way they deserve the respect, care & love. We should feel lucky that we have parents, we have a family. Think about them those who don't have a family. They cry & they wish for it daily what we have. So, why don't we people feel blessed for what we already have. Why some of us don't give respect to our parents ??? Why do we not give that love & care what they; our parents deserve & give us. All we need to do is just to reciprocate, what we recieve. Our parents do whatever they can to provide us all the happiness, love & care we ask for & we deserve. Then, why can't we do the same for them??? Can't we provide them the love, happiness & care they deserve & want from us ???

I still remember, when I lost my mom. My dad, took all the responsibility of my mom. He took care of me & my sister & he being a single parent raised us & provided us all what so ever we wished & asked him.

He taught us how to fight & face this cruel world.

Down the memory lane, back in 2013 when I got to know that I had stones in my Gall Bladder. The doctor told my Dad, that it needs to be operated & after operation I'll be okay.

So, I still remember, that when I was being operated how tensed he was for me. And, even when my operation was successful I was unconcious for 3 hours. After seeing, that state of mine he got so angry that he told the doctor that why is my daughter not awake yet??? Why is she unconcious, till now?? & how long will it take for her to regain the conciousness back ?? So, doctor said that she'll regain conciousness soon. Very soon. And, when I regained my conciousness. He was, on cloud nine. Believe me, I've not seen him that happy in my entire life before 13th september, 2013.

That was the time, when I realized that if my dad can find happiness in seeing me alive. Then why can't I just give him the respect what he deserves.

So, this was just a small example of how my dad took care of me.

All, I want to convey throughout my blog is that if we have our parents, we have a family. And, if we have a family. Then, we should love our family & we should take care of them. Coz, eveyone is not blessed with what some of us our blessed with.

Also, we should love & care the people those who don't have a family. Coz, love can heal what loneliness cannot.

Love,
Gunjeet Kaur Sehgal.

TODAY'S EVE TEASER IS, TOMORROW'S RAPIST !!!

If you, me & most probably all of us. If we will not stop it on the spot from happening then it is for sure gonna happen.

If we will not stop the eve teasing, happening around us. If we being the victim, will be quiet. Then, it will obviously give rise to a rapist.

Those who think that what society will think, then you should also think that by thinking like this you are not securing the future of the girls of the nation.

Be it a small or a big one, a crime is a crime.

If you decide not to raise the voice against the crime; then indirectly you are also supporting a crime.

Keeping QUIET is not RIGHT.

BUT BUT BUT!!!

If you raise your voice against a Crime,
If you stand against a Crime,
If you are right,
And,
If you know that by keeping quiet,
You are not doing right.
Then,
why don't we stand against the wrong
& fight for what is right.

On a big note, I have always supported what is right & I've always stood against what is wrong.

SARAGARHI DAY ✌💙😊

21 Against 10,000 💪💪💪

Yes, you read it correct. 21 SIKH soldiers fought against 10,000 Afghans, the battle of saragarhi. I wonder why this battle have never been mentioned in the history book & why it had never been talked about in the school. There are many movies based on this battle which have been released & there are two more upcoming movies based on this battle.

Pashtuns wanted to capture the forts which were originally by Ranjit Singh, the ruler of the Sikh Empire. On 12 September 1897, 10,000 Pashtuns attacked the signalling post at Saragarhi to cut communications between  the two  forts ( Forts Gulistan & Fort Lockhart). Due to the forts not being visible to each other, Saragathi was created midway.

The soldiers in Saragarhi decided to fight to the last to prevent the enemy from reaching the forts.

Gurmukh singh, who communicated the battle with Col. Haughton, was the  last  Sikh  Defender. He is Stated to  have killed 20 Afghans, the Pashtuns having to set fire to  the post to kill him. As he was dying he was said to have yelled repeatedly the Sikh battle cry "Jo Bole So Nihal, Sat Sri Akal." ("One will be blessed eternally, who says that God is the ultimate truth").

"And they  won, the battle of Saragathi"

The names of those 21 brave soldiers who  fought & won the battle & who  are the recipients of the gallantry award are:

Havildar Ishar Singh, Naik Lal Singh, Lance Naik Chanda Singh, Sepoy Sundar Singh, Sepoy Ram Singh, Sepoy Uttar Singh, Sepoy Sahib Singh, Sepoy Hira Singh, Sepoy Daya Singh, Sepoy Jivan Singh, Sepoy Bhola Singh, Sepoy Narayan Singh, Sepoy Gurmukh Singh, Sepoy Bhagwan Singh, Sepoy Buta Singh, Sepoy Ram Singh, Sepoy Nand Singh, Sepoy Jivan Singh, Sepoy Bhagwan Singh, Sepoy Gurmukh Singh.

Today, is the day i.e on 12 Sep when this battle was fought. The Sikh military personnel commemorate the battle every year on 12 September, as Saragarhi Day.  ❤❤❤

LOVE WINS 🌈

So so so proud today. Finally, Supreme Court of India decriminalises Section 377. Historical Judgement!!! A huge thumbs up for humanity and equal rights. 👍🙏👏

One India, Equal in Love 💕💕💕 Love is love, be it between same sex or the opposite. Love should be treated equal. ❤❤❤

Love sees no color, no gender, no social status, no wealth, no race/ ethnicity. Love has no labels.

Love always Wins 🏳️‍🌈

Challenge your Phobia 💪👊💙

Walking on these rocks for rafting that too in flip flops was not that tough for me; while actually facing my fear was. Yes, you read it right.

I actually am an aquaphobiac. But at the same time I was excited too. Being nervous & excited how it feels like. I actually experienced it on 13.6.18. When our instructor asked us to jump into the water. It was only me who knows how I jumped into it & was there for 3-4 minutes into the water.

If I will say that I have overcome my fear it would be a lie. But I'll try my best to overcome it. Coz, facing your fear is the key to a happy life. 💙🛶

Shave Your Opinion... 💭

I believe in comfort and not in the way people will look at me. I dress up for myself and for the way I feel, not for somebody to be impressed or provoked. I don't think this even needs an explanation.
                 
               

To all those who judge us  for our necklines and the length of our sleeves and skirt.
Someone's perception of perfection will never determine the way I look, it's time you
 Shave Your Opinion.

Miles apart...close to my heart 🌻❤

Do you remember the night
We spent together
under the stars
for long hours...

Not physically we were together
But over a phone call
This is somehow
Our long distance relation
         have been
maintained for years.

It might be a matter of concern for others
But for us
It is our bond
Which is getting more stronger.

31 Days of Art ❤

I was planning to host a challenge from a very long time. Then back in the month of June, I finally decided to host a challenge in the month of July. Yes; my first ever challenge. I polled a vote on my instagram & so many of them were ready to take my challenge. This challenge was for one month. I named it #31daysofart. The main motive behind my challenge was that I wanted to showcase what others think about art. What is everybody's perspective about art.

So, as my first ever Challenge is over. The best of them are on my instagram handle: blogger_speaks. I hosted this challenge because I wanted to share what's everybody's perspective about art. So many of you took my challenge, but only these 2 of amongst them were the constant ones. Pratyush has a very good sense of writing. I have posted his best of his writeups & photography which I personally loved reading them. Sahana, the photographer. I have posted the best clicks by her; which I think you guyzzz will also like it.

As I promised; that best one will be as my post.
Thank you for being constant; in this journey. Journey of #31daysofart.
The month of #31daysofart brought so many challenges for me; personally.
The July every year has got something or the other for me.

Little Black Dress 🍷

I have got so many messages regarding the outfit details, so here it is.
I bought this Little Black Dress from Myntra App.
Though, I shopped this dress 4 years back. I still love wearing it & the best part about it is that it is still in fashion.

I was surfing the app & my eyes were instantly drawn to this beautiful black dress.
The cost of this dress is just 1k. The brand I am wearing is Miss Chase. The lipshade I am wearing is from Half & Half. I bought these footwears from the local market of Jaipur.
It was a special occasion, & I believe that special occasion is incomplete without a pretty outfit.
P.S. Thank you to all, who liked my this look 🌻❤

"Prettiest Thing Hides Most of The Pain".

     I want to say this from such a long time; here comes a video with a message what I wanted to convey. There are many people who have this tendency of hiding their deepest secrets with there pretty smile on their face, the prettiest eyes hide the most tears, & the kindest hearts have had the most pain. 

      So, overall I want to say that try to communicate with them who you find to be in such a situation. Coz they don't show their pain but you can try to talk with them. I am saying this Coz I personally feel that they deserve the most of the care, love & happiness, out of this world.

The Old You 🌻

I really miss the old you

The one constant support I can look upto

The chats we did were not like normal friends or bffs do

I don't find you 

When I need you

I miss you 

Hell lot

When I see others together 

As friend, family, couples

Thou we never met

But the conversation we had 

Was worth to remember I bet

You know me better then others

I want you in my life

Forever.

You chose something else

I still miss you 

to be with me.

Though we were not dating 

Nor we were normal friends 

But I don't know why

I still miss the old you

Friends became Strangers 🌼

To the one whom I miss the most!

Yes, its true

I really miss you. 

No matter what,

I think of you

day & night.

Its not a single day, 

Not even an hour or a minute

When I don't wish to have you or to be around you.

I want you back in my life,

I don't know how

but you've to come back.

I miss it

how you used 

to take care of me,

to love me,

to cuddle me,

to pamper me,

to make me happy.

I miss every bit of it...

Late Night Adventures of our adverse peregrinate 🌴

Late Night Adventures are always worth remembering and that too when you are with your favorite person 💙 Yes, I am talking about my sister. Recently, we went on our first official "sehgalsister" trip 👅 I literally loved being roaming out there with her on the streets of Uttarakhand. She always says that why to fear, when we are together. We were shopping and exploring while walking around the markets of Rishikesh & Mussorie. We covered a distance of almost 20 km or even more than that while walking; in Rishikesh. But the best part is that we were so excited to travel to Mussorie; even after walking for 20 km's our tired body was not ready to take rest. We reached Mussorie & after having a 3 hours nap or so. We were again, out on the streets of Mussorie, The Mall Road.It was raining heavily, still we didn't bothered. And we sisters hopped on the streets, exploring and shopping from Mall Road. We reached our hotel at 12:00 in the night.
This was one of the best trips with her that I will never be able to forget; not only because of the memories we made together but also because of the tragedies we had to face.
But there is a saying that All's well that ends well. ❤❤❤

Women Empowering Women

Women should empower each other instead of being so hateful and covetous of one another. Because, we rise by lifting others. So, be a woman other women can trust. Have the courage to tell another woman direct when she has offended, hurt or disappointed you. 

Successful woman have a tribe of loyal & honest women behind them. 

Not haters. 

Not backstabbers or women who whisper behind their back. A small advice to all the people out there, always be careful of what you hear about a woman. 

Rumors either come from a man that can't have her or a woman who can't compete with her. I firmly believe that a woman who lifts other women is a strong Womanize. As I personally, agree to this that Other women are not my competition. I stand with them, not against them. 

Because, a strong Womanize stands up for herself. 

But a stronger woman stands up for others.

The Year

                                                     
The Year I Met You was the best year of my Life.
 But now when I think about The Year I met you;  I think it was the worst year of my Life. The Year I Met You is the year I want to forget. The Year I Met You, was the biggest mistake of my life. The Year I Met You, is the year we became friends with each other. The Year I Met You, you became the important part of my life. The Year I Met You, I learnt the true meaning of friendship. But now when I think about our friendship, the only question comes into my mind is Was it really, a friendship? Was it from both of us, or it was just from my side.

The Year I met You was the year full of fun, care, sharing, love.  But now, when I think was that all true or fake. Or is there something, you are hiding. Is there something, which you don't want to speak? Or I should say that I'm just overthinking about everything. Was that 9 years of friendship, true?  Or was it just my belief in you & our friendship. Since 9 years we were friends, were we? Or it was just from my side. I know after reading this, it won't make any difference to you. Nor does it matters! The Year I Met You, have now made me a person, who will no longer be able to believe in friendship, relationship, Love, Trust. To all the years of our friendship & to all those friends, who once used to be my everything, now they are nothing to me. To all the friends who made promises that they won't leave me, have taught me the true meaning of this: promises are meant to be broken. At the end, I would just say that live your life happily, stay healthy, stay blessed, be strong, don't do wrong, love yourself. To all those friends who were mine, who are now not a part of my life. Kudos, to you'll for making me a person who I have become right now.

    Oh Feminism!

    I have heard

    a lot about you

    Oh Feminism!

    Some say

    I support, 

    Some say

    I don't. 

    But what exactly

    it is? 

    Is it supporting

    women rights? 

    Or the men actually

    supporting women's rights.

मुश्किलें तो आएंगी हज़ार,
ए यार,
तू डर मत
डट कर सामना कर।


डगमगाएगा तो 
रूकेगा नहीं,

आगे बढ़
सामना कर।



हौसलों को रख बुलंद इतना
कोई मुसीबत रोक ना सके तूझे।

काबिल बन तू इतना 
की,
दुआ मेरी कबूल हो
दोस्ती हमारी कायम हो।

A letter to my Daddy-Friend

Dear Dad,  

   
      I know I am the most stubborn one, but you are that man who can handle all of my tantrums. 

     I know I have made many mistakes in my life, but I also know that if ever I will be in a trouble, you'll be the one standing next to me as my lifeguard; as you always have been. 

     You ain't just my dad, you are my best friend too 💙 With whom I have shared all my secrets, sorrows and happiness. Whether be it my friendship breakups or be it my health issues or be it my adventure trips. 

      You being a single parent, have always proved the society that a single parent can also raise his 2 girls on his own. I still remember, when I was admitted to the hospital in 2013. And when after 3 hours of my operation also I was unconscious, how you scolded the doc and held him responsible for my unconsciousness. 

     
  Because, Normally it takes only an hour for a person to get conscious after an operation. I still remember, how happy you were when my 12th standard result was out and I passed with flying colors. And also whenever I go through any kind of breakup, you are the 

  "One who always says, koi dost rahe na rahe, tu itti strong ban ki tujhe kisi ki jarurat na padhe". 


Love,

Papa ki beti ❤
