Music

Sakina @sakinasaifee18 (575) • Mumbai, India 8 Feb 19

Who's your favourite band/musician? My music taste varies from jazz to classic rock to metal to indie depending on my mood. I love Chet Baker and Hozier almost equally. Music is truly food of the soul!

After hesitating, writing, erasing and rewriting for many years, I've finally decided to put up my own writing blog. The reason I've been hesitating all this while is because sharing my deepest thoughts and emotions is somewhat...

Would you rather get uglier or dumber? Of course most people would prefer intelligence, but you have to admit in today's society beauty often overpowers brains.

Same sex or co-ed?

Sakina @sakinasaifee18 (575) • Mumbai, India 9 Sep 16

I have studied in a co-ed school. And I continue to study in a co-ed college. I feel it's definitely the natural way how it should be since it helps girls and boys to have a natural, healthy relationship with each other. But I...

Pro-life or pro-choice?

Sakina @sakinasaifee18 (575) • Mumbai, India 4 Sep 16

I read an article where an 11-year-old girl was raped. She became pregnant and the court ordered her to keep the baby since it was "the right of the unborn baby to live." I think it's so terrible because the child was raped. She's...

Yoga

Sakina @sakinasaifee18 (575) • Mumbai, India 19 Aug 16

I do yoga for 2 hours everyday. It has not only helped in my weight loss, but also increased my concentration, will power and my overall mood. It's the best form of exercise, so much better than going to a gym.
