What Does Success Mean To You? The highs and lows in the journey of 'making it'. Now, for many success means having a nice luxurious house, a car, wealth and some other things that make you look 'rich' and hence 'successful'. But is that it is? At its core, I would say success is about finding purpose and contentment. It is not merely measured by wealth, power, or fame but by the ability to lead a life that aligns with your values and passions. If you really think about it you achieve success in the little things in life and, personally, they give me more joy and contentment than any luxurious apartment in a skyscraper would.

Guys, don't strive to be perfect, strive to be your authentic self. Being perfect will get you in the race but it won't win you the race.  Parents, ...
Mental Health  I welcome everyone to a session of talking a little bit about mental health - but it's not just depression but every other emotion that you and I feel that leaves us feeling uneasy and reckless.   I am Rutuja, a student of MIT WPU, studying Media and Communication and taking advantage of my academic learnings to share my ideas with you guys through this platform. Now I know everybody talks about taking care of your mental well being these days and everyone is smart enough to know that but sometimes, in this fast track life, we get so busy with our academics, our social hangouts, our family conflicts, our future plans and our past traumas that we forget to sit for a moment and think about US. I want to focus this blog specifically towards my generation and thats because me being that age too, I know every other person right now is suffering through some or the other emotion. For instance, being neglected in the family, the pressure of acing academics, different k...
