Periods. Yes, you read it right.

If the following content offends you in any manner, i suggest you take a good, hard look at yourself in the mirror.

PERIODSSSSS.
BLOOOOOOOOOOD.
MENSTRUATION.

Welcome to Biology 101.
Today we debunk myths about periods.

Question 1: Will Mata Devi be annoyed if i enter the temple when i'm on my period?
Answer : No, Mata Devi doesn't give a fuck.

Question 2: Is a menstruating woman impure and evil?
Answer : Possibly, because  her period led to your birth.

I don't know. I am a lucky girl, i live a society which is somewhat accepting of the bodily processes of a female. But I recently read this rather disturbing article on the state of menstruating women and how they are treated, and the reliefs available to them. This ill treatment is not concentrated to any one area, but infact is one of the most pressing issues of underdeveloped and developing countries. The saddest part is, it's not even recognised as a problem.

to be honest, it's infuriating. How backward we are about certain issues. I realise that it's probably the lack of education that leads people to blindly follow nonsensical traditions and engage in preposterous taboos, but lack of this education also does not justify these actions. The way some women are treated during those days of the month is inhuman. It is outright inhuman. They are banished from their houses for those 5 days, and they are expected to stay there irrespective of the kind of conditions outside. They are attacked by animals and men, who conveniently decide that while a menstruating female is impure, it is okay to rape her. They don't have access to sanitary napkins and are treated like untouchables. They are fed only boiled rice and this food is thrown to them like garbage in a dustbin.

Periods are a thing. They are natural and healthy. They are a GOOD thing, even though it may not seem like it at times. Periods are nothing but disposal of the inner lining of the uterus that the body creates to prepare itself for child birth. Lack of periods would mean that this lining is not formed in the first place.No periods, no childbirth, no continuation of the human kind. Each and every woman, irrespective of her caste, social status, residence, of it all, is brave to go through it. It is about time that this fact was celebrated, and people stopped treating women like shit for everything.

Your Guide to Being Cool


So I'm sure a lot of you pathetic people are forever on a quest to be cool. I, very graciously, have taken upon myself to provide you with a comprehensive list on just how to do that. This is, by no means, however, the complete list. There are always weirder things one can do to become popular and the instigator of envy within everyone around them.
It should be noted that halfway across this list, you may start to believe I am being sarcastic. Of course I'm not sarcastic though. Obviously. Sarcasm? Me? Never. Ever. Ever Ever Ever.

Now then, since that has been established. Let's get on with it, shall we?
  1.  If it’s not on Instagram, it didn’t happen. You may have brushed your teeth but unless it's your #picoftheday, how will I ever know? Is there really any proof? For all I know, you haven't brushed your teeth since the last 5 days.
  2. Bad grammar is sexy. Always. Abbreviating already short words is even sexier. For example, 'ThanQ 4 readin mah blog' is possibly the best way i can thank you for, um, reading my blog.
  3.  Any climatic change needs to broadcasted on at least 2 social media platforms. If it rained, did you Snapchat it? Yes? But did you post about it on Instagram and Facebook though? Stop leaving things incomplete. Being cool isn't that easy.
  4. Rule for Life: Everyone wants to see at least 10 selfies (per day) of you. Their day is not complete without it. Really. Ask them. The number of fucks they give is so high, it's unbelievable.
  5.  Caption should ALWAYS be in hashtags. Hashtags bring up the stud level by almost 5 times #really #no kidding #tryityourself #diy #wowmuchcool #suchsweg
  6. Facebook needs to treated as personal diary. Always. I mean, Mark Zuckerberg intended Facebook to be treated as a means of bitching about your boyfriend. Look it up if you don’t believe me, really. It's written in his autobiography called 'What Monsters Have I created'.
  7. If the caption is not deep, it will not portray your genuinely philosophical personality. If you can't see Adele rolling in it, it's not deep enough (This deserves self five though)
  8. Clothes are not bought for the purpose of wearing, they are brought for the purpose of showing people that you, um, bought clothes.
  9. If even the filters can’t make that picture look pretty, you should probably not upload it.
  10. Gym selfies are a must. Because that’s what Gyms were made for. What do you mean people go there to exercise! Noobs (no, auto correct, I don't mean boobs jeez)
Follow these to have you coolness level multiplied by infinity.*

Bonus tip : However what will make the absolute coolest is cribbing about it on a blog which literally one person reads and continue to be obsessed with social media.
You are welcome, World.

*I'm aware the answer would be not defined. Teehee. #MATHPUNS
