My brother-in-law is in the Merchant Navy, so every now and then, I receive a photograph from somewhere far out across the water. This one caught my attention. A quiet sea. Mountains rising in the distance. Heavy gray clouds covering almost all of them. I kept looking at it. The mountains were undeniably there…..I just…

The other day, I watched someone casually silence a phone call with an exasperated roll of their eyes. “It’s just my mom,” they muttered, sliding the phone back into their pocket. They weren’t being unkind. It was simply a Tuesday. To them, that ringing phone was routine……a slightly persistent interruption between errands, something so ordinary…

I used to think habits were dramatic villains…. you know, something you fight, defeat, and move on from. Turns out, they’re more like that background song playing on loop…. so familiar that you don’t even notice it anymore.We keep asking ourselves the same question…. Why am I stuck? Why can’t I change?

Relax, it’s not witchcraft.…

This morning’s newspaper didn’t just carry news …. it carried goosebumps.A full spread of the Indian women’s cricket team, smiling, hugging, lifting that shining trophy ….. and a headline that said it all: “The Journey of Belief.” 💙 For years, they were told what they couldn’t do.Today, they showed the world what happens when belief…

Ever felt like your brain should come with a “Do Not Disturb” sign? One minute you’re peacefully sipping coffee, and the next …… Boom…….. your mind whispers, “Remember that embarrassing thing you said in 2016?” Welcome to the club. We meet at 3 a.m. when everyone else is asleep. We often talk about protecting ourselves…

Mira had become the kind of woman everyone admired …..efficient, independent, composed. She woke up before dawn, powered through work, managed her home, and always had a polite smile ready. But lately, her reflection looked like a stranger …..neat, capable, and… lifeless.The sparkle in her eyes had been replaced with calculation. She didn’t dream anymore,…

Lately, I’ve been thinking about why people try so hard to grab attention. In the movie industry, in social circles, even in daily life….everyone seems to be running after the spotlight. And yet, I’ve seen how short-lived that spotlight can be. My Grandfather’s work as scientist, which once had its own respect, isn’t remembered today.…
