Cycles of Inheritance
I found myself lying in a nearly pitch-dark room, surrounded by shadows of conversations I wasn’t part of, conversations that seemed to move around me in a cycle I could neither claim nor escape. It was as if I had been placed in the middle of a story already in progress, a narrative as old as time and as familiar as the air I breathe. In that dim light, I overheard two women speaking—a woman, perhaps an employer, congratulated another woman, acknowledging her rise within the workplace. I murmured just enough to prove my relevance, hoping to claim my own place in the world they had carved out. Yet, I felt like an outsider, as if there was a barrier between me and that congratulatory moment, one that was both impenetrable and rooted in history, shaped by generations of the same cycle.

Two Audiences
I do wonder if I need to write this one. My time here at Vocal has allowed me to write about things that I had deep in my thoughts and had nearly abandoned as possible topics worth sharing. The pieces on literature, movies, music, my travels and other obsessions were worth the time spent shaping and creating them. But I have not covered everything I want to say about why I do this. Maybe that is a well that I will continue to draw from as long as I have a medium that will accept it. And you have all been very open to whatever has hit this page.

Know Your Spirit: The Journey Within
Know Your Spirit: The Journey Within There comes a time in every person’s life when the outer world, with all its noise and chaos, fades into the background, and we are left with one resounding question: Who am I? This isn’t merely a philosophical question but a deeply personal inquiry into our own spirit. To know your spirit is to embark on a journey within, a path where your deepest fears, hopes, and strengths are laid bare. It’s an awakening, an unspoken recognition that the real essence of our being lies not in the roles we play or the things we achieve but in the quiet strength of our spirit.

The Pressure of Perfection: Are South Asian Parents to Blame?
Imposter syndrome is a common experience that many of us hesitate to acknowledge. It stems from our unique life choices, societal conditioning, and the perceptions we hold, which shape our reality. This feeling of inadequacy often leads individuals to attribute their successes to external factors like luck or chance, rather than their own abilities. In South Asian households, particularly for women, there is a cultural expectation to downplay one's achievements and to adopt a humble demeanor, influenced by patriarchal norms. This article explores how parental influence contributes to the development of imposter syndrome in the South Asian context, highlighting the societal pressures that encourage women to minimize their accomplishments.
