Passion Is Not a Wrong Profession

 Have we ever even been taught that we can choose professions related to creativity?

Everyone is raised to become a doctor, engineer, — but not someone in media, not a writer, not an artist.

Though things are changing now, creative fields are still looked down upon.

Even in 2026, we still hear things like:

"Why did you choose arts "

And when they earn well they say 

“You have done only a Master’s in Arts, yet you got a job paying 50k, while engineering graduates are not getting jobs.”

Instead of appreciating the change, instead of understanding the importance of these professions too, people still question them.

Why is creativity still seen as less valuable than conventional careers?

Why are passion, expression, storytelling, art, and media still treated like secondary choices, when they too shape society, culture, and people’s thinking?

Not every meaningful profession comes with a lab coat or an engineering degree.

Yesterday!

Yesterday felt complete. Because my favourite professor presented me with a diary Because it was the last offline working day Because all the classes were fun Because the last hour was a group activity Because it was rain and sunset together Because of the giggles And the unbearable belly laughs. Yesterday was special. Was it so special? Wasn’t it ordinary? No, it wasn’t for the last six months. Though it rained, Though both the sun and clouds coexisted, Though we, as friends, were together, Yesterday felt different—real, genuine. The old energy is back. The moment we realised It’s still the same spark, The same bond, The same charisma, The same love is Alive between us. Yesterday was special. Another win is Having made a plan out of a WhatsApp group, And actually executing it amidst heavy rain. Having tried new snacks Without running behind time and the bill, Eating them all, Fulfilling the inner child’s stomach and soul. Having taken selfies Despite being shy and awkward. Yesterday w...

Growing with them☘️

Even the idea of talking about plants today makes me feel excited. That’s how much I love plants.It was not really a sudden attraction or love towards them. Since childhood, I was always surrounded by plants and trees. When we were taught that plants are living beings, being a child, it was overwhelming. Like humans, they too are living — that fact itself was just amazing.Since then, I started observing them closely, the diseases they get, the signs that show when life is slowly leaving them, all of this I understood through science, keen observation, and childhood curiosity. I remember when we bought plants for the first time, I named them. One of my teachers told me that plants can respond to us. So every morning, once I woke up, I would share a small talk with them. Even thinking about it now feels cute, and the same excitement is still alive. Even in the town where we were brought up, there wasn’t much of a flat culture. Houses were usually in the centre, surrounded by trees on bot...

Say and Do

Say and Do, Not only the spelling of these two words differs, But the meanings do too. Only One in a million Doesn’t know the difference, Whereas others, The whole population — Know what the word “Say” denotes And what the word “Do” denotes. Yet we just pretend, As if we are great actors. It begins in childhood, Gets worse in adulthood, And in old age, A few realise and succeed, Whereas others regret And find it difficult to cope. It all starts with small promises. We used to say, “I promise you, Mom,” But with the left hand, Or By twisting the middle and Index fingers, So that those words are just words, not action. So Say & Do isn’t a new thing for us. It grows As a habit, Or develops as A trait itself. It should be pruned like a weed in a plant, But instead, pesticide is sprayed, And we fail to remember that  Any day it's unhealthy. Adulthood worsens it. Food, fashion, fitness, studies, and life choices — Everything makes a cameo. At times, I wonder, Are we really being acto...
