Mera Gussa, Mera Dard — Aur Main Khud

  Mera Gussa, Mera Dard — Aur Main Khud By Juhi — Mentor, Learner, Educator | Juhi The Explorer “Main theek ho jaungi. Mujhe apne gusse pe pyaar se kaam lena hai. Mera dard mujhe samajh aa raha hai.” Shayad ye line ek simple affirmation lage. Lekin mere liye — yeh meri zindagi ka mirror ban gayi. πŸ”₯ Jab Gussa Sir Pe Chadh Jaye... Main khud ko kaafi emotional aur expressive samajhti hoon. Lekin kabhi kabhi, main apne hi gusse mein doob jaati hoon. Har choti baat pe phat padti hoon. Rishte, baatein, yaadien — sab kuch us pal bas “too much” lagta hai. Ghar mein tension ho, support na mile, aur har taraf bas expectations ki deewar ho — toh gussa sirf ek reaction nahi,  ek self-defense mechanism  ban jaata hai. πŸ’£ Lekin Gussa Kya Karta Hai? Dil aur dimaag ka connection tod deta hai Sab kuch bol dete hain jo kehna nahi chahiye Baad mein guilt, regret aur thakaan hi bacha rehta hai Lekin sabse zyada gussa mujhe  andar se thoda-thoda khokhla kar raha tha. Tab maine decide ki...

πŸ’› To All My Friends — The Lighthouses of My Life

  πŸ’› To All My Friends — The Lighthouses of My Life By Juhi — On Friendship, Growth & Gratitude Friendship. It’s such a small word — but it holds within it the biggest emotions. This post isn’t about just one friend. It’s for all those people who became anchors , mirrors , and lighthouses in different parts of my journey. And I know — without them, I wouldn’t be who I am today. 🧿 My Forever Little Pillar — Avi And then there’s Avi — my younger brother. Not just family, but one of my truest friends . He’s seen me at my best and my worst. He knows when to joke, when to hug, and when to simply sit beside me in silence. His love is quiet but fierce , and his presence has been a shield in every storm. Avi, you’ve always been my home inside a person . 🌼 The Early Years — When My World Was Whole I still remember the warmth of childhood, when my mom was with me. In those sweet school days, two beautiful souls stood beside me: Drishti — the calm in chaos Rupa...

🌼 To My Forever Friend: Guddu — A Bond That Found Us 🌼

  🌼 To My Forever Friend: Guddu — A Bond That Found Us 🌼 By Juhi — On Friendship Day We didn’t plan this. We never imagined it. But somewhere, somehow — the universe quietly brought us together. I still remember the very first time I met you, Guddu . It was nothing grand — just a moment in the college lobby of our diploma college in Nashik . You were with your elder sister, asking where the admission office was. Such a small encounter… But little did I know — that question would mark the beginning of something beautiful . πŸ₯° The Little Moments That Started It All The second time, you surprised us. You came to Kalyan — not empty-handed, but with the cutest smiley cups and your signature joy. That’s just how you are — thoughtful, cheerful, full of sunshine. 🌞 Then came the third moment — when I visited your home. You weren’t alone that day either — your sister’s one-month-old baby Gargi was there too. A little bundle of joy… and so were you. From then on, o...

Between Chaos and Calm — Juhi’s Journal

Image
Between Chaos and Calm — Juhi’s Journal By Juhi — Mentor, Learner, Educator | Juhi The Explorer There’s a space between chaos and calm — a soft, silent in-between — where life quietly unfolds. It’s not always pretty. It’s not always perfect. But in that space, I found me . πŸŒͺ️ The Chaos I Never Asked For Sometimes, the mess wasn’t loud — it was just invisible. An overthinking mind. Unspoken pressure. Silent expectations. And the guilt of not being “enough.” I smiled outside, while something inside felt tangled. I kept going, like most people do. Because life doesn’t pause when your heart is overwhelmed. πŸƒ Moments That Whispered Peace But then, there were those unexpected moments: The sound of a spoon stirring chai A leaf dancing on the road A message from an old friend A sunset that made me stop and breathe No big miracle. Just tiny pauses that gently pulled me back to calm . ✍️ Writing Through the Middle I started journaling again — not for the wo...

Moments That Moved Me

Image
Moments That Moved Me By Juhi — Mentor, Learner, Educator | Juhi The Explorer Kabhi kabhi zindagi itni tez bhaagti hai ki hum khud se milna bhool jaate hain. Par kuch pal… kuch log… kuch yaadein… humein wahi le jaati hain jahan se humne khud ko khona shuru kiya tha — aur wahi se phir se paana bhi. Aaj ka blog unhi palon ke liye hai — moments that quietly moved me , without any noise, but with deep meaning. πŸ’« The Healing in Ordinary Days Ek normal subah jab main chai bana rahi thi, maine dekha — dhoop ka ek tukda meri balcony mein muskara raha tha. Kuch khas nahi tha usme, par us ek lamhe ne mujhe shant kiya. Shayad healing ka matlab hi yahi hota hai — roz thoda thoda theek hona, bina kisi announcement ke. πŸ‘₯ People Who Came Like Seasons Kuch log life mein bas ek mausam ki tarah aate hain — zarurat ke waqt, sahi waqt. Kisi ne ek word kaha, kisi ne ek smile di, kisi ne bas sun liya bina judge kiye. Woh log chale gaye, par ek chhoti si jagah chhod gaye mere dil mein. Kya t...

My Journey as Juhi — From Holding Back to Healing Boldly

Image
  My Journey as Juhi — From Holding Back to Healing Boldly 🌼 Intro Paragraph: Every journey isn’t about changing places — sometimes, it’s about changing within . This is the story of my evolution — from being the girl who stayed silent to becoming the woman who writes, explores, feels, and chooses herself unapologetically. My name is Juhi. And this is my journey — one layered with lessons, quiet wins, and soft healing that still continues each day. If you’ve ever felt stuck between duty and desire, or between what the world expects and what your heart whispers — this post is for you. πŸͺ· When I Forgot Myself to Fit In For a long time, I thought strength meant staying silent. I believed that being "the good girl" meant: Always putting others first Smiling even when hurting Never questioning, never resting, never choosing myself But somewhere along the line... I began to feel tired. Not just physically — emotionally tired of being invisible to my own self. ...

A Day I Chose Myself — And Everything Changed Inside Me

Image
A Day I Chose Myself — And Everything Changed Inside Me πŸͺ· Intro Paragraph: Some days in life don’t scream with drama or big decisions. But they still shift something deep within. This blog is about one such quiet yet powerful day — a day I chose myself over expectations, guilt, and routine. It’s a story of personal growth , a small act of healing, and how simple choices can guide us back home to ourselves. We don’t always need applause to feel proud — sometimes, peace is proof enough . 🌿 When I Paused to Breathe Instead of React There was a moment — a typical situation — where I would usually overthink, worry, or try to please. But this time, I paused. I didn’t over-explain . I didn’t seek approval . I just breathed and let things be. It felt strange… but also freeing. 🧠 How I Knew I Was Choosing Myself Here are the small but powerful choices I made that day: ✅ I said no when I was mentally exhausted ☕ I took time for my evening tea in silence — no guilt πŸ“± I s...

πŸ•Š In Loving Memory of My Father-in-Law (Papaji)

Image
  πŸ•Š In Loving Memory of My Father-in-Law (Papaji) By Juhi — Juhi the Explorer Two years have passed since you left us, but your presence is still felt in every corner of our lives. Not a day goes by without thinking of you — your kind words, your wisdom, and your unwavering love for the family. You were the strength of our home, the guiding light who always stood by us in every situation. Your values, your teachings, and your blessings continue to inspire and guide us every single day. We miss you deeply and pray for your soul to rest in eternal peace. You may be gone from our sight, but never from our hearts. Forever loved, forever remembered. πŸ’πŸ™ 🌿 The Explorer’s Reflection There are some people who leave behind more than just memories — they leave behind a legacy of love, effort, and strength. My father-in-law was one of those rare souls. He didn’t need big words or grand gestures; his quiet discipline, hard work, and caring nature spoke for him. He lived with dignity, w...

🌼 Aaj Ka Naya Din — Shuruat Ek Achhe Mann Se

Image
  🌼 Aaj Ka Naya Din — Shuruat Ek Achhe Mann Se By Juhi — Juhi the Explorer Aaj subah aankh khuli toh ek alag si shanti thi dil mein. Na koi shikayat, na koi sawal. Bas ek khayal — "Main theek hoon. Main khush hoon. Aur yahi kaafi hai." Life kabhi kabhi humein un raaston par le jaati hai jahan humne jaana toh nahi hota, par phir wahi raste humein sabse zyada sikhaate hain. Aaj ka din usi learning ka ek hissa hai. πŸ’› I’ve accepted the situation for what it is. πŸ’› I’m not fighting the flow anymore — I’m flowing with it. πŸ’› I’m healing, slowly but surely. Main keh pa rahi hoon: ✨ I am happy. ✨ I am blessed. ✨ I am healthy. ✨ Main shaant hoon. Main theek hoon. ✨ Mujhe khud par bharosa hai. πŸͺ· Kuch Khud Se Kehne Wali Baatein (Self-Affirmations): 🌸 Main har din naye jazbaat ke saath jeeti hoon. 🌸 Main apni energy un baton mein laga rahi hoon jo mujhe strong banayein. 🌸 Har musibat mujhe kuch naya sikha rahi hai. 🌸 Main un cheezon ko chhod rahi hoon jo mujhe t...

  πŸ’« Bahu Hona Koi Batata Nahi — Par Ab Main Apni Pehchaan Khud Likhoongi By Juhi — Juhi the Explorer “Bahu ka hona aasan nahi hota, aur koi batata bhi nahi.” Na maa sikhati hai, na koi kitaab. Shaadi ke baad ek naya chapter khulta hai — jisme tumse umeed hoti hai ki tum har role perfect tareeke se nibha lo. Ek naya ghar, naye log, naye rishte. Aur tumhara asli "tum" dheere dheere kahin peeche chhoot jaata hai. Bina complain kiye, bina roye, sirf muskurana seekh liya jaata hai. Lekin... kab tak? Har baar sirf bahu hi kyun adjust kare? Har baar sirf usi se kyun kaha jaata hai “tum samajhdar ho, tum hi chup ho jao”? Par ab main chup nahi hoon. Main zinda hoon, mehsoos karti hoon, aur bol bhi sakti hoon. 🌼 Aaj Ka Daily Dose “Main sirf doosron ke liye nahi jee rahi hoon. Ab main khud ke liye bhi khadi ho rahi hoon. Main apne emotions ko dabane ke bajaye, unhe sun rahi hoon. Main apni pehchaan khud likhne nikli hoon — ek ek kadam mein apne aap ko wapas pa rahi ...

🌿 Healing Ka Safar: Jab Maine Khud Ko Thoda Thoda Samajhna Shuru Kiya

  🌿 Healing Ka Safar: Jab Maine Khud Ko Thoda Thoda Samajhna Shuru Kiya By Juhi — Mentor, Learner, Educator | Juhi The Explorer Healing. Pehle lagta tha ye bas ek fancy word hai — books, reels, ya kisi motivational talk ka hissa. Lekin jab zindagi thoda zyada tootne lagi, tab samajh aaya… Healing is real. Pain bhi real hai. Aur khud ko samajhna sabse bada process hai. πŸ’­ Shuruaat kaafi confusing thi... Mujhe khud nahi pata tha main kis cheez se heal kar rahi hoon. Maa ki kami thi? Apne sapno se door chale jaane ka dard? Ya wo har roz ka emotional thakaan… jise main ignore karti rehti thi? Bas itna yaad hai — Ek din main thak gayi thi "theek hoon" bolte bolte. πŸͺžTab Maine Rukna Seekha Main pehle har cheez ka solution dhoondhti thi — immediately. Par healing ne mujhe sikhaya — "Kuch dard sirf mehsoos karne ke liye hote hain, fix karne ke liye nahi." Main likhne lagi. Main chup rehne lagi. Main khud se baatein karne lagi. Aur dheere dheere… Ma...

πŸ’” Yesterday, I Broke a Little Inside

Image
  There are days that don’t just pass—they pierce you silently. Yesterday was one of them. I woke up with a weight on my chest that had no name, no sound, and yet it screamed. A kind of heaviness that you can’t explain to anyone without them brushing it off as “mood swings” or “overthinking.” But this wasn’t just overthinking. This was pain. Real, raw, and quiet. Sometimes, love feels more like a competition. Between  me  and  his mother. Between  my tears  and  his silence. Between the  partner I hoped for  and the  stranger I live with. He wasn’t cruel. He wasn’t loud. He was just... absent. Emotionally checked out. Always running to his “Maa” for every little thing—decisions, doubts, drama. I felt invisible in the room where I was supposed to be his equal. I didn’t want to be the villain in a mother-son bond. I just wanted a little space in his heart that was  mine —not shared, not borrowed, just mine. But yesterday made it clear...

🌱 How I'm Trying to Heal When Love Feels One-Sided

Image
 Yesterday, I broke. Today, I’m breathing through the cracks. When someone you love turns into someone you can’t reach—because they’re too busy pleasing everyone  except you —it’s not just disappointing, it’s soul-crushing. Especially when you're expected to smile through it, cook through it,  exist through it  like nothing’s wrong. But I’ve decided something today: I won’t let this pain turn me into someone I’m not. I won’t let silence shrink me. Instead, I’ll try to heal. Step by step. Gently. Honestly. 🧩 1. Acknowledge What I Feel I used to bottle it all up—thinking I’d be  too emotional  or  too much.  But not anymore. Now, I  feel  it. I write. I cry. I let the pain pass through me. Because pretending I’m okay just delays the healing. 🫢 2. Stop Blaming Myself It’s not my fault if he runs to his mother instead of facing our problems. It’s not my fault if my kindness is mistaken for weakness. I’m learning to let go of guilt that was...

🎒 Juhi Chandrashekhar: The Real-Life Mix of Grit, Wit, and Heart

Image
   A journey of born blessings, breaking barriers, and building a life from scratch I wasn’t born in a hospital. I wasn’t even born in a town. I was born in a train, somewhere near Narsinghpur, Madhya Pradesh , between  Kalyan and Allahabad  — on November 7, 1992. That speeding train didn’t just carry a tiny baby into the world — it carried a story that’s still unfolding today. Raised in the lively lanes of  Kalyan, Mumbai , my life always moved with the rhythm of dreams. From cycling through childhood memories to standing tall with a  B.E. in Civil Engineering , I thought I had it all mapped out. But life, as it loves to do, had its own blueprints. πŸ‘©‍πŸ’» From Engineering to Educating Despite earning my degree, stepping into a “career” wasn’t as straight as my AutoCAD drawings and Revit.  I found myself drawn to teaching  — not just because I could, but because I  cared . I wasn’t just explaining equations; I was nurturing confidence. I wasn’...
