Made of movies, books and literature. Occasionally there's a penchant for social commentary.
Its one of those times when my faith is tested to its limits, again. There’s a line in one of my favourite devotional songs from Bollywood that goes ‘Bhakti ko shakti do’, which means ‘give power to devotion’. It implies that if we pray hard enough, that could be our superpower. I have believed firmly... Continue Reading →
For the first time ever today, I felt like there’s a dangerous cache of unresolved anger within me that could surface at the most inconvenient time and make things difficult for myself. I’m usually one of those overly positive people – attempting to see the best in every situation, romanticising the littlest experiences, finding memories... Continue Reading →
With a lot of gratitude to offer, I inch closer to a new year looking forward to many good things incoming. What’s worth sharing here, however, is the battle with self-sabotage that I am still overcoming, but have made considerable progress with in 2023. A therapist would tell me a number of things about why... Continue Reading →
I assume that one of the hardest life skills to master for anyone is to not have expectations from others, especially when you’re someone who naturally makes a lot of effort to make things happen for someone you love. The motivational speakers and spiritual gurus on Youtube make it sound rather easy and glorious to... Continue Reading →

Productivity and a constant sense of accomplishment is my high in life and something that keeps me driven. However, one common misconception that people have about workaholics is that we love work so much that... Continue Reading →
I always felt life is so much easier when you're unapologetically, yet responsibly yourself. One social issue I often have is dealing with people who try too hard, albeit unsuccessfully, to constantly hide and miscommunicate parts of themselves to maintain a projected image. How do they manoeuvre through? How do they remember what version of themselves... Continue Reading →
Life isn’t too considerate while throwing hardballs at us and leaving us knocked out and clueless at times. It gets us questioning the whole point of existence and the significance of every little thing that we assumed made our lives what they are. No matter the number of options our conscience might present to us... Continue Reading →
No, love. You haven’t seen me. You’ve seen the version of me that loves you. One that tears up when you don’t meet expectations One that forgives and forgets a hundred mistakes One that never returns the rude remarks And one that has love left in her heart to still shower. No, love. You haven’t... Continue Reading →
One thing my generation (and the ones after that) has really struggled with is the idea of having to give things time. We were brought up into a technologically advancing, and considerably advanced world that adapts to the most volatile human qualities in no time. It cuts down efforts, shortens time needed to complete a... Continue Reading →
