"No Matter What You Do, People Will Talk—So Live Your Life!"

-

 Are We Living for Ourselves or for Others?

Have you ever noticed that no matter what you do......wearing your favourite colour shirt or capturing a picture of nature.......someone always has a comment to make?

 It happens everywhere at school, college, the gym, and the workplace. And, of course, our relatives and neighbours are often the first to judge.

People are naturally judgmental. It’s part of human nature. Because of this, many of us work hard to present ourselves in a way that gains social approval. We buy things not just for personal happiness but to shape the way others perceive us.

But is this really necessary?

Does loving someone solely for their social status bring real happiness? Is it worth paying EMIs for cars, bikes, or properties just to receive validation from others? Are we truly living the life we want, or are we just trying to fit into an image society has created for us?

Instead, we should focus on what genuinely brings us joy. We must love people who make us feel valued rather than those who fit a societal ideal. We should buy things that bring us happiness, not just approval.

At the end of the day, life is too short to be lived for the opinions of others. Do what makes you happy. Choose what feels right for you. That’s where true fulfilment lies.

Sitting and enjoying a calm evening with your loved ones is way better than attending a party just for the sake of societal pressure or to show off on social media




Remember these points

  1. Live for Yourself, Not for Validation – Seeking approval from others can be exhausting. True happiness comes from doing what you love, not from impressing society.

  2. Love Those Who Truly Value You – A relationship built on social status is empty. Real love comes from feeling valued, respected, and supported.

  3. Spend on What Brings You Joy, Not Just Prestige – Owning luxury items for social validation won’t bring lasting happiness. Invest in experiences and things that genuinely fulfil you.

In this digital era, we are habituated these days to get things fast due to the smartphones in our hands, we want food we swiggy it, we want snacks we zepto it, we want a bag we buy it on Amazon, we want to clean our homes we book via urban clap, we want bus tickets we book on red bus and the list goes on. Thanks to the power of technology we can get these things or services within a few minutes, but that doesn't mean that the nature of human beings has changed or is it???? We human beings need to build ourselves step by step right from our knowledge, skills, career, body and of course our relationships, this reminds us all that    “Rome wasn't built in a day”.  We are part of nature and nature has something called a process and it can't be rushed how hard you try,  Let us look at this through a  kutty story...... Mr.DAS was a sincere man who was consistent with his work, he used to wake up early in the morning do his meditation, brush his teeth, read t...

From Likes to Life: Rediscovering Myself During a Social Media Break

  A few months ago, I went out with my friends for lunch at a beautiful seaside restaurant along the East Coast Road. The view was stunning—people playing on the beach, fishermen guiding their boats, friends laughing as they braved the waves, couples deep in conversation, children flying kites, and athletes practicing surfing against the rhythmic crash of the tides. It was one of those moments that felt picture-perfect.   As I soaked it all in, I realized my phone battery had died. At first, I thought it might be inconvenient, but soon, I discovered something refreshing: I was completely immersed in the moment, undistracted. There were no notifications dragging me out of the conversations with my friends, no impulses to capture the view for Instagram stories, no dopamine hits from new messages or social media updates. Just pure, unfiltered presence. It was calm, pleasant, and deeply soul-satisfying.   But then, reality hit. As soon as I got home, I plugged in my pho...
