Does God Really Exist?

After a few months away from WordPress, I’m back and I’m returning not with something light, but with one of the heaviest questions humans may have ever asked. What brought me back today is a question that has been sitting with me for weeks now: Does God really exist? I know this question can be uncomfortable, even offensive, for some. That is not my intention. I’m asking it with genuine…

Is happiness overrated?

What’s a common misconception people have about happiness? Okay, I’m a little late to this prompt, but this topic appears to be interesting. So, here I am providing my insight. When I think about happiness, one thing is clear to me,it means something different to every person. But somewhere along the way, society created this one-size-fits-all idea of what happiness should look like. And I…

Books That Are Calling Out to Me in 2026

What books do you want to read? After looking at this question, I feel like laughing at myself and my TBR both. Why? Last year was my first year of blogging, and I remember being so excited to answer this question. Back then, it felt both easy and difficult. Easy, because I knew exactly what my TBR looked like. Difficult, because if I had listed everything I wanted to read, this blog post would…

How Do Writers Find the Time?

Hi fellow writers, I’m curious to learn how you structure your writing life. How many hours do you spend each week writing and refining your work? How many posts do you usually publish in a month? My blog focuses on book reviews, and I prefer a slow, thoughtful process,writing, refining, and revisiting before I publish. While I admire writers who publish frequently, I’m learning to respect my…

A Life Lesson from the Mahabharata

If you had a freeway billboard, what would it say? Sometimes, it feels as though the entire essence of life is contained within a single verse from the Mahabharata. If we truly absorb and live by this teaching, life may not necessarily become exciting in the way we imagine but it will almost certainly become peaceful. And over time, I have come to realise something important,peace is not just a…

Life… what is it?

Is your life today what you pictured a year ago? Perhaps it is that phase when life begins to push you from every direction or rather, press you in from all sides. Personally. Professionally. Slowly. Relentlessly. The walls don’t rush toward you; they move inch by inch closer,until one day you realize how intensely you are suffocating inside them. And yet, there is a strange feeling.Even when…

When DD National Was Our Entire Universe & Never Knew That Cartoon Existed

What’s your favorite cartoon? People get shocked when I say this… but I never watched cartoons growing up.Yes, zero. Nothing.Not even Chhota Bheem. Not even Mickey. Not even Doraemon asking anybody ‘kya hua Nobita?’ I grew up in a rural village where we had a color TV but only one channel: DD National. There was no concept of changing channels or choosing what you wanted to watch. Whatever came…

My Closing Reflection for 2025 - The Light we carry…Overcoming in uncertain times

What positive events have taken place in your life over the past year? As this year comes to an end, I find myself looking back with a quiet honesty.When I try to recall positive events from 2025, nothing immediately stands out. Not a milestone, not a major achievement, not a dramatic change.But that doesn’t mean the year was empty.It means the year was different. 2025 was not a year of…
