"HER"
AI cannot possibly be a friend.It’s code. It responds to prompts. It mirrors what you feed it. And yet, when the room is quiet and there’s no one you feel like calling, the glow of a screen feels less empty than silence. It doesn’t judge. It doesn’t interrupt. It says what you need to hear. And sometimes, that is enough. Perhaps it is my unending curiosity about what AI has to offer. Or…
Are You A Ghoster Or Ghostee?
Relationships and friendships thrive when we cherish reciprocity. They cannot sustain one-sidedly. And when they end, they should end with care and respect, just as they began. Sadly, it doesn’t always happen that way. People disappear, friends cease to reciprocate, and lovers elope without information or closure, leaving the other party confused, angry, guilty, and sorrowful. Ghosting is the…
Between Doors And Dreams
The shimmer of the makeup sat well on her face,covering the snoot from teary eyes without a trace.Resplendent silks draped her velvety skin,concealing the darkness buried within. She showered in the lush scent of roses and lavender,Yet the stench of a dead soul thickened under.She has donned grace and poise as her signature style,masked her bruised self for more than a while. With every tick of…
Fast Deliveries, Slow Decay: The Moral Cost of Our Instant World
In a recent case, a couple in Bengaluru, India, was enraged by a minor dent on their car—a mere accident. Blinded by fury, they chased down the delivery boy responsible and rammed his bike with their car. This time, it was neither accidental nor trivial—it was deliberate, deadly, and devastating. The young man was left gasping for breath, fighting for his life until he finally succumbed because…
When “Good” Hurts: How Well-Meaning Behaviors Can Quietly Erode Relationships
We all want to be good — good partners, good friends, good children, good leaders. And in that pursuit, we often choose what looks like kindness, politeness, or maturity. But here’s the hard truth: Sometimes the behaviors we consider “good” can slowly harm the relationships we value the most. Let’s look at three such behaviors that feel noble on the outside but may be quietly eroding connection,…
Three Ways I Manage Stress
Watch the video on YouTube: Stress is something we all face. It creeps in when we least expect it – during pressure at work, unmet expectations, emotional tension, or even in daily routines that overwhelm us. But the key is this: stress isn’t the enemy. Resisting it is. Let me walk you through how I personally handle stress – in a way that is gentle, realistic, and sustainable. 1. I allow the…
𝟯 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗮𝗱𝘃𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴
🎥 Subscribe to my YouTube Channel as you watch this short video: 𝟯 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗮𝗱𝘃𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 — And a gentle reminder to come back to now.Overthinking wears many disguises — planning, problem-solving, being “𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵.” But more often than not, it’s fear in a loop. It’s the mind trying to gain control over what the heart doesn’t fully understand yet.Here are three subtle but serious ways…
Measured Fury: A Sunday Reflection on Anger, Justice, and Courage
It was a Sunday evening, around 7:30 PM—the hour when the weekend’s cheer begins to fade and the ticking time bomb of my flaring rages starts. I just wait for the day to end, hoping the kids’ energy winds down enough for them to either snuggle into the sofa or retreat to their rooms. And let’s not forget my secret wish—no last-minute requests for elaborate dinners. After 7:30 PM, I look forward…
3 Simple Ways to Set Boundaries — And Why They’re Not Always So Simple
Setting boundaries is an essential act of self-care and emotional well-being. Yet, many of us struggle with it—not because we don’t want to protect our peace, but because we fear rejection, judgment, or hurting others. At its core, boundary-setting is about defining what is okay and not okay for us, and doing so with clarity and compassion. Here are three simple yet powerful ways to set…
How 'busy' is 'too' busy?
It feels good to be busy. After all, it means that we have tasks at hand that require our attention to make progress and move forward. There is a sense of accomplishment that accompanies being busy, right? Surely, YOU would want to believe so. By that principle, every task that demands our attention qualifies individuals as busy, even if it involves “doing nothing”, which has apparently become a…

I Said No and I Don't Regret It
Recently, I heard a podcast featured on LinkedIn: “I said, ‘No,’ Didn’t I?” Two certified life coaches, Mr. Chiradeep Patra (founder of I Listen) and Ms. Neeti Kandhari (founder of Kizuna—enduring bonds), conducted the podcast. It was an excellent podcast that emphasized how important it is to be able to say No. The crux lies in setting boundaries and communicating them clearly and…

Let Us Understand The Connection Between Physical and Mental Health
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!
We were born equal, with heart, mind, soul, and body. Our souls were free, our minds were clear, our hearts were pure, and our bodies were vessels to be cared for. These precious gifts were bestowed upon us to nurture and grow; they would nurture and care for us. And somewhere down the line, as we became civilised, we slowly weaned ourselves off nurturing our souls and hearts and solely focused…

WHILE RESETTING
To soar like an eagle, you need to experience the process of adulting.At around 40’s, every eagle has to make a choice either death or to undergo a painful process. This process extends its life for another 30 years. This adulting stage involves the painful task of secluding itself, knocking out its beak, and plucking out its talons so that new ones will grow.

Bridges of Time: Navigating Life through Revisits and Resets
It was just another ordinary day, yet it became a captivating conversation with my daughter. A simple outing became a small girl’s day filled with intriguing discussions. As we awaited our order at a local eatery, my daughter asked, “If you could have one superpower, what would it be?” After contemplating, I shared, “I would love the ability to read people’s minds. What about you? Wouldn’t that…
