The Quiet Strength of Simply Trying

Most of us grow up believing that life is a race — something to win, outperform, or perfect. But the older we get, the more we realise that life isn’t about arriving first or having everything figured out. Life, in its simplest and most honest form, is about trying.Every single day, we try.We try to stay kind in a world that doesn’t always return the favour.We try to forgive even when our hearts…

Stop Blaming Upbringing for Every Behavior: A Thought We All Need to Hear

Today at my workplace, I was sitting with a few colleagues. We ended up discussing someone whose behavior often drains everyone’s energy — the way they talk, the way they respond, and how difficult it is to have a normal conversation with them.In the middle of this discussion, one colleague casually said something that really struck me:“Parents ne baat karna bhi nahi sikhaya isko.”And honestly,…

We convince ourselves that we need it to be happy.

काश ||

काश हम मिले न होते,काश इश्क़ किए न होते।चलो, जो मिल ही गए थे,इश्क़ कर ही गए थे,तो काश गलतियाँ न होती,गलतफहमियाँ न होती।चलो, जो हो भी गई थीं,तो काश माफ़ कर देतेएक-दूसरे को…तो शायद बिछड़े न होते।

A Simple Evening, A Beautiful Moment

Last Thursday, I was sitting with my colleagues in a cozy café, enjoying a small celebration for a friend’s birthday. What began as a cheerful get-together soon drifted into work discussions — typical us. 🥹🧿 The café was surrounded by lush greenery, making it the perfect spot for some Instagram-worthy pictures. And since I absolutely love plants, I couldn’t resist capturing a few extra shots…

Today’s Story 🌧️

Even though his auto stopped a few times because of the waterlogging, he…

Some Days, It's Okay to Just Feel

Teamwork >>>Family In an interview I recently watched, Aman Gupta, founder of boAt, shared a perspective that really struck me. He said he treats his employees not as a “family” but as a cricket team.At first, this might sound a bit cold in comparison to the warm and fuzzy idea of a workplace “family.” But the more you think about it, the more sense it makes — and the more respect it actually…
