Recipe for self-love!!


Two students bearing a poster endorsing how each and every hand is helping!
No beginning is a small task!!
To the nights spent wondering, what is love? To the days spent daydreaming, will we find it? In the world filled with rom-coms, and cheesy lines! With a dash of romanticized heartbreaks! We forget to be our own favorite!

Love is the strongest of all emotions, something which cannot be defined by one word to take in the entire meaning of it. To love has different expressions, physical to silent to expressive to be effortless. Happiness to be expressed is that someone cares, someone is looking out for you, and someone is having your back.

The art of believing in oneself is often driven by seeking affirmation through outside source, we have made our existence in accordance with the states of others, when our birth in this time is not accredited or yet found a source and reason, we are living it for ourselves and not others. The point to ponder here is to learn to unlearn this defense mechanism which we have developed, the mechanism which states we invest ourselves so much in acquiring love from someone who is next to irrelevant to us, in our existence and place in this world.

Think about it, does it really mean we have to depend on someone to smile. Once a very learned person, American actor Will Smith said that “Her happiness is not my responsibility and mine is not hers.” When the perspective is changing life is changing throughout, we are born as two separate beings with assorted thought process and the ability to look the world through different eyes and perspective!

There is a number of birthday cakes which can be seen here along with the smiley images of the kids who are eager to celebrate a new day with rest of the volunteers.
Birthday cakes: sparkly smiles!

Happiness in togetherness is our expression of spreading love and helping the children who have been sent in as angels of the very essence of the universe that love is not subjected to something which has blood. Birthdays form the epitome of love and happiness. So, blood being thicker than water is the saying of past. Here we celebrate love, care and affection which is present everywhere and anywhere, but it begins with oneself. Here we are mindful to opening these little hearts to the entire possibility of them starting to have acceptance and love for themselves while spreading good-well like glitter of sunshine on a gloomy day to bring about the change in empathy!

Learning to love oneself we must learn to unlove the preset norms of the society which play significant role in building one’s perspective over how we look upon ourselves, do we love ourselves or not? Are we good enough? Are we sufficient? Are we feeling good? Once out of a relationship we present ourselves in the form which represents us as vulnerable leaving us with a lot of questions. Believing in ourselves becomes difficult with doubts planted to undermine our credibility, integrity, and self-love. How is that they left us, how is it that it is over so easy, how to get over someone how to live, breathe without that person.

An exhibition of self expression through the medium of heart!
Creation and expression of self love!

Funny isn’t it, we feel so much but hardly have the guts or place to express ourselves, each and every time we tend to bottle it up. Khwaheshein have perfectly found its way into expressing the fun, unjudged and open platform to present your thoughts where no one questions, judges, inquires, beats around the bush. A place to express yourself, your thoughts your love, your heart to be the most vulnerable yet being free at the same time. That is what learning to unlove is. This is what Khwaheshein is, to spread your wings and fly around with a heart full of dreams!


Another expression is kalakriti, presentation of self, using color, vibrancy for happy mood, to paint and color, to spread the cheer.! Making something productive out of the chaos is what defines the art of being happiest ever! Selling our creations to bring in joy for others is the kind of joy and inspiration which one requires to lift us when the worst of the worst time is upon us. To feel to be able to help someone to feel.

Life is always going to be a bed of thorns but with thorns there are roses too, why not focus on the glass half full and find the bright red, yellow, white, pink roses from the thorns. We exist because there is something which could not be fulfilled if we don’t exist. It's all part in the process and having faith in the process.

Life is falling apart! a piece by piece falling around! A jigsaw puzzle to put up together, A way of life to live it together, Everything will fall in place, Walking the path takes time, One partner is all it takes, Make sure it’s YOU!

A cap and poster being descriptive of spreading smile through the hope.
Smiles to be spread around.!!

Reaching miles by spreading smiles!
