 Uncharted Paths: A Tamil Girl’s Journey from India to the UK Leaving home is never easy, especially when you're headed to a place thousands of miles away. For me, studying abroad was always a dream, but my heart was set on the Netherlands. I’ve always been drawn to its culture and lifestyle, and I thought that would be the place where I’d further my education, work, and life. However, life threw me a curveball when I ended up applying to Universities in the UK. The idea of studying in the UK was never part of my plan, but here I am, in a place I never expected, embarking on a journey. Coming from a rural area in Tamil Nadu, India, dreaming of studying abroad seemed like an impossible task. The competition was intense, and the journey to achieve my dreams felt overwhelming. I still can’t believe that I’m now sitting in a classroom, surrounded by people from all over the world, learning alongside them. Making friends and connecting with my classmates hasn’t been easy, but it’s been ...

 In a relationship, the most important things to me are effort , priority , sacrifice , adjustment , and time —and these should be mutual. I admire people, both men and women, who make an effort to spend time with their families, even when their schedules are tight. It’s not about grand gestures, but about making time for the little things, especially at the end of the day. Love and care shouldn’t stop once the relationship starts; they need to stay alive, even after years together. Effort is needed constantly, not just at the beginning. It’s about keeping that spark, that thrill, and that connection alive—forever. Even the smallest things mean so much—Whether it's taking a walk together at night or in the morning, working on fitness goals together, cooking and cleaning the house together, eating together, or planning dinners, playing a sport together, watching movies, listening to songs, walking in the rain, writing vintage letters, giving small gifts that carry deep meaning, trav...

  Have you ever quietly admired someone, watching them from a distance? Maybe you noticed how beautiful or handsome they are, without them knowing. Or felt drawn to someone in a way that didn’t involve touch or possession—just pure appreciation. I have :)) It isn’t always about romance or finding a partner. Sometimes, it's a simple love for family, a soft spot for a child’s laughter, or a fleeting bond with someone who unknowingly brightens your day. There’s something magical about a genuine smile, so rare and unguarded, that I want to dwell in that moment a little longer. I’ve never hugged anyone outside of my parents and my closest friends. It’s just my way, and it doesn’t mean I think hugging is wrong. For me, selfless love goes beyond physical gestures. It’s about being fully present and embracing someone’s essence as they are. And sometimes, it’s just a quiet crush, a secret admiration—watching someone from afar, capturing moments that go unnoticed. I find myself drawn to thei...

Travel as much as you can, because that’s where you’ll find yourself.   I’ve learned so much about who I am when I travel alone,   and sometimes, with my friends by my side.     I love solo trips—not for luxury or fancy places,   but for the simple, raw experiences they bring.   It’s the small things I love—   the quiet of the mountains,   the sound of water flowing,   birds chirping, leaves rustling in the wind.   I feel peaceful, like I belong there,   in these moments of calm.     I don’t need much—just simple clothes and a love for nature.   There’s beauty in the little things,   like lakes, ponds, forests,   and the quiet life people lead, far from the noise of the world.   When I travel, I love seeing how others live—   the way they smile, the food they eat,   their clothes, their stories.   ...

  I'm still here, loving you silently  Every piece of mine aches for you  You are that ' Nothing', When people ask me what I'm thinking... My heart feels home when I hold your hand tightly and gaze at your eyes  Never and ever let go of you at any cost... With so much hope - I'm at the same place awaiting for you... Let’s immerse ourselves in a world of love, kindness, care, understanding, hope, joy, spirited debates, curiosity, adventure, compassion, and promises ~  Just YOU and ME .

  The moment our eyes met, something shifted inside me;  your steady gaze set my heart racing, a quiet spark I could barely contain. The warmth in your eyes lingers in my mind, a happiness I hold close.  Those small, unforgettable eyes of yours are etched in my memory, My heart quietly yearns for that fleeting connection, a gaze that I hold close, though I keep the feeling hidden deep inside. Believe me, I swear -  "When I look into your eyes, the world fades away, n o one else exists in that moment."  It’s like everything else disappears, and it’s just US , with nothing standing in between.

  It's always been you, and only you.  Eye speaks more than words  and he feels like Home - Peace and Quiet  From one corner of the world you came and I, came from the other end - Is it a destiny or just am living in the Phantasy ?  Will the universe tie a strong knot for us or it's just going to break my heart ? With you, it's different  But you never get it  Atleast our paths have crossed.  Shall we each other cross paths again? But this time as life partners - I'll take rebirth to be yours forever.
