  • One more day ends. One more evening passes with the changing pallor of the sky, from grey to black, where the stars twinkle so bright as if giving the onlooker a tiny flame of hope, reminding the refuge of the dusk that a new day awaits next. I too seek a refuge. Not as the…

  • Thinking of ‘Positivity’, I often build an imagery of the blossoming Morning Glory flowers in a classic summer month, where I’m seated with my laptop in a woodden chair, in a rose wood cottage in the middle of a meadow. In the same imagery, and across the only window behind the pale-yellow blinds, I see…

  • Mind over matter

    When mind blooms, we are Happy. So, what makes us Happy? Is it mere fortune, that calorie count or a recreation in a resort? In this materialistic life, we hold these standards in high regard, a traction for chaleur humaine, often thinking less about the fact that you would barely recognize the same people, if…

  • Amol was scared. He wanted to go home. But he was not alone. The God had entered his body. His realm was consumed. There was this God who was giving him the strength of something, which he did not want at this moment. Because, he was scared. 1 It was 3 a.m. He sat on…

  • In the vastness of the ocean lies an undefined innocence. The deeper you dive, the beauty becomes evident. The depth of innocence is beyond an understanding that the more evident it becomes, you are at bliss. This year, I was in Kannur, a coastal town in the southern part of India. I was on vacation,…

  • I love silence. It allows me to think. It is not the chaos that makes me think. I attended numerous meditation classes, had even read online articles on this subject. And, they all say the same thing – We dwell in our past and worry about our future. That is true. We are all living…

  • Being overwhelmed, an abhorrent case for many often leads to a palpable malady. Some say, being overwhelmed is an emotion, whereas, for most of them, it is a sign of depression; as we continuously oscillate between what is true, and whether we can relate ourselves to that truth. For instance, I’am a writer and an…

  • We all wish there was a Genie in our lives, who could fulfill our wishes in multitude. Life would have been so easy, isn’t it? But, being in a fantasy world and experiencing the chaos of real life, are two different aspects of a human life. In a lifetime, we collect too much earthly garbage…
