Girl in pink | Walk the confidence, Wear the power

Pink, a colour for girls they say...
Often we hear the society associate the words weak, fragile, soft, humble, kind, caring with women. They gave the colour pink these characters and tagged it to girls.
Right from birth, we see the differentiation where boys get things, from toys to socks for their tiny feet in blue while girls get them in pink.
Well, my problem is not tagging humans in different colours. Yes, colours do have different personalities and our human mind does connect with certain colours which we emotionally get bonded too. But my problem here is the hatred towards pink that most people have, thinking it’s a soft and weak colour just because it's associated with girls'. Boys who like pink, mostly do not admit it fearing being mocked at for liking something that’s supposed to be girls. On the other, blue though tagged with boys, is a universal colour which everyone likes to wear. That’s stereotypical! Don’t you think so?
Pink is strong, pink is bold. Pink is not just for the kind and sweetheart, but for the boss lady and badass too...
Here I bring to you – ‘ Girl in Pink’
she is fun, she is powerful she is everything the world said she can be not!

Passion or a Hobby ?

PASSION OR A HOBBY?   Doodles by Annlet Aju Have you ever been so much passionate about something? So damn passionate that you delay & deny sleep and food for it! Well, I am pretty sure we all have one. Few of us have discovered ours and few of us yet to kindle our self! For a long time, I had a confusion understanding the difference between what a passion and a hobby is! 'Passion is different from your hobbies. It's not just what you do when you have nothing else to do. Passion is you defining your life doing something.', they say! But my little brain often used these two words as a synonym. I came to understand what exactly a passion is through one of my close friend and yes, she has an interesting passion! This blog is about my friend Annlet  (Nope, she didn't pay me for this 🤣). I know her since my first year of college and finding her without a sketchbook and pen is like finding tiger milk in the town we live in! ( If you get my reference fr

  Img : Instagram / Power Of Priya India’s First Female Comic Superhero Priya, All Set To Spread Awareness On COVID19 The fourth sequel of the Priya’s Shakti comic book series has come a long way from telling Hindu mythological stories to addressing issues of universal concern. Priya’s Mask is based on the ongoing pandemic and how it affects the physical and mental well-being of children around the world. When the world spoke about losing jobs, GDP, rising positive cases and number of deaths; most of us didn't know how the children were reacting to this ‘mask culture’. The sudden change to homeschooling, online classes, deserted playgrounds and social distancing have sent a wave of depression and voidness in them.

THE WINDOW SEAT

From Window to the Aisle Seat Travelling could be fun, Travelling could be hectic, Travelling could be boring, Travelling could be enlightening,                  Travelling could be a jukebox of everything regardless of where you are travelling to or how far you are travelling to! I had one such trip where I was flying back from Ahmedabad to Kannur. There aren’t any direct flights so I had a transition from Ahmedabad to Mumbai and from Mumbai to Kannur. It isn't a long journey if you ask to any wanderlust- travel freak person who finds no trips long enough! But this journey is long enough for a student who didn't sleep doing her assignments the previous nights and had to wake up before the sun this day so that she could travel from Baroda to Ahmedabad airport and from there on...Well, in simple words it was a long journey for me. Though I couldn't eat anything in the morning other than a glass of chai, I had enough energy to try not to faint! I was sta

An Ode to the beauty of Womanhood!

For a long time we kept quite, Then came the time of upheaval and mental riots, Now they say "Feminism?- its talked too much about, Let's take something different, something that's not boring!" Woman, her needs, her wants and her life is not just a topic for entertainment that gets "boring" with a period of time! Its a basic human right to raise voice against anything that's oppressing, demeaning and not treated with dignity! Body shaming, character assassination, catcalls and what not! Being a woman isn't easy, or does the world make it sound like that? From strangers to the boy you sit with in the class don't know who's gonna caress your butt at any cost. But if you scream or complain, "Its all your fault"! Enough is enough!! #NOTALLMEN, I agree! but why do all women have a terrible story to tell? Her Husband beating her up black and blue, her guy-friend invading the space of hers, Rapes and acid-attacks, death threats to forced s

Gender Stereotypes around the colour 'PINK'

Is your Gender Pink in colour? Pink has been the comic sans of colours for a long time. A colour associated with everything not so serious and yet so fun. Pink being a strong and vibrant colour has been associated with boys for a long time. The carefreeness, the dominance, the freedom to play around yet not to be blamed is the personality of any boy, or can we say the hue pink? So when did pink became a colour for girls ? When did the colour blue, the colour which stands for caring, honesty, delicate and dainty, and everything we associate with femininity became the colour for boys? Or is there all just in our minds or a stereotypical vaccine that we inject in the fresh minds of kids who didn’t know that we hypocrites have gender-differentiated colours too. Let’s now look at what the youngsters of NIFT Kannur think about this! Breathing the air of fashion around, are their opinions on the colour pink stereotypical or not?  Students of NIFT, Kannur did have mixed opinio

WHAT IS THE COLOUR OF YOUR WARDROBE? Did you know that the colour of your wardrobe defines your personality? Yes, you read it right! Consciously or sub-consciously when we make a purchase our mind tends to be drawn to a particular colour no matter what the silhouette of the outfit is! The colour that dominates your wardrobe can give away a lot about you! So, What is the colour of your wardrobe? Psychology says that colours emit radiations that can change a person’s mood. And it can be different for different people, say bright yellow can make you more energetic, awake and noticed whereas a little dark mustard yellow could convey envy, jealous, dull and depressed. Thus we see a lot of people who like yellow for all its good reasons and people who hate the colour for the negative impact it creates. Here what matters is not the colour and the vibe it creates but which tint or shade of the tone flashed your mind when I mentioned that colour. And that, my friend, that! defines
