That one time I was a meme

People never spell my name correctly and it gets screwed up a lot. If I had a dollar for everytime someone wrote 'Riya' as 'Ria', I'd be retired and enjoying my life. I had 14 certificates changed in school because they always wrote 'Ria' or 'Rhea' on them. That error has happened so frequently, there came a point where I just stopped pointing it out to people, at least in messages. It's a bigger disappointment when a guy is trying to flirt, and he writes the wrong spelling of your name. I mean I don't expect you to do any favourite colour/flowers homework but the name is basics duh-uh.
Nevertheless, the day came
Suddenly everybody knew the right spelling of my name
because everyone who knew me and some who didn't, were tagging me in the #riyamemes.

Well, I don't know about Sajid but my friends were super happy because they now had a new excuse to make fun of me.

 I had so much unwanted attention on every social media platform, I was being tagged in the same post and memes by everyone on my friend list. Making someone’s name a meme isn’t the end of the world. But feel more of a schmuck when you use BandaRiya or Urea.


You know what they say about best friends always being there, trying to cheer you up?
Well, mine are just precious. (kutRiyas)



Here are my favourite ones from around the web-













 I know what my pun master junior would say about these




For weeks, I just thought about changing my name before it actually settled.



P.S. This post was long due,
when I recently opened my drafts I just knew I had to complete this one.

You can post your favourite #riyamemes in the comments below just in case I missed out on them. 

ShukRiya :)

Living

I'm not sure what I want to be or do. All I know is that I want to live. To me, living isn't about having a big title or a fancy job. It's about enjoying the simple things. It's about feeling the morning sunshine on my face, laughing so hard it hurts, and crying to release the pain. It's about finding peace in quiet moments and letting my mind wander.  But life isn’t always sunshine and pretty skies. It’s storms that break you down, darkness that swallows you whole, and days when getting out of bed feels like swimming through raging waves. It’s the crushing burden of expectations, the fear of failure, and the lonely feeling of not fitting in. I’m tired of pretending to have it all figured out.  I’m a person, a whole, messy, complex person. I’m the quiet kid who dreams big and the friend who’s there for anyone. I’m the one who’s afraid of heights but jumps off cliffs anyway. I just want to be me, with all my flaws and strengths, my hopes and fears, my joys and sorrow...

Beliefs (A book review)

Why I Am An Atheist -  A Pamphlet written by Bhagat Singh   This book isn't for a weak-willed person, but for a person with an uncompromising heart, who will not follow this blindly, but will question it, criticize it and think it over will actually understand what this book is about. Because this is what Bhagat Singh conveys to us by his book To question our beliefs. We all read history in our school, what we really don’t learn are the reasons behind them, the feelings of the revolutionaries. And even if someday history repeats itself, what will matter the most is the fact most ignored in our curriculum. How those times were for an individual, how it is being in jail constantly fighting your solace, questioning your beliefs? My favorite quote from the book is "the sword of revolution is sharpened at the whetstone of thought" Are we still not colonized? Because we still understand things from the perspective being imposed on us by society. We still do not qu...
