Through The Bareness Of 2024- My Journey
Life in its brevity often feels burdensome, yearning for us to be free of all the turbulence that stirs up its breaths in our hearts. How beautiful would life be if we let go of pain, anger, sadness, grim! I wish we had built-in programming that would delete all the moments and experiences that stirred catastrophic fires and raged war and kindled and whooshed the fire within us simultaneously!

12 Reminders for Year-End Reflection
It is that time of the year again when everyone posts how truly they have accomplished feats of success, competence, grit and determination. How magnificently their vision boards have manifested in the brilliance of their alluring existence! While it is a celebratory feat for all those who had a year that was filled with love and light, it is important to remember that the life projected on social media is the highlight of someone’s best days in the entirety of their existence. It is amazing for someone to put themselves out there and post their joy for life on their platform, but in the world where comparison is so normalised, I hope you remember life does not need to be aesthetically pleasing and swoon-worthy for it to be called a perfect life.

Doorman in Purgatory
Charley adjusted the stiff collar of his uniform, the polyester itching his neck like it had a personal vendetta. It was Christmas Eve, and he stood behind the front desk of The Stratford, a luxury high-rise on the Upper East Side. The building’s lobby was immaculate—polished marble floors, a chandelier that could blind a man, and garlands draped with precision, as if Martha Stewart herself had descended from decorating heaven. Yet, despite all the splendor, the place was as dead as his social life.

An ode to my journey
Remember the times when we would yearn for certain things and beings to foster their being into our lives, where what we wanted was so far-fetched, dreams that we found so unfathomable to forge their breaths in our lives? It is wondrous and almost astonishing how existence in the most unimaginable ways, how we fathom that something we can never live without, life always turns out for the better when we let go of what no longer serves us, of what we can no longer control or any experience, person, entity or situation that we outgrow in our existential being.

Her Quote, My Journey
Today’s was one of those cold winter mornings when the air seems to be cold and everything seems to be a little more still than it was the day before. We were at our usual table in the canteen having tea with biscuits in between while chatting with friends. We enjoyed the warmth of the tea after coming from the cold, the sound of plates slapping each other joined the faint murmurs that filled the air.

The Concrete Jungle Chronicles: 20s vs. 30s
Living in the city in your 20s is like starring in an indie film with a loose script. Your apartment is barely livable—a studio where your bed is six inches from the fridge, and the bathroom is technically in the hallway—but you romanticize every corner of it. The chipped paint is “character.” The neighbors arguing at 2 a.m.? Ambience. The thrill of independence overrides any practical concerns, like how you’ll make rent this month after splurging on concert tickets and $8 lattes.

Things I learnt from my recent setbacks
Things I learnt from my recent setbacks How I wish life were filled with glory and love, tales of how we succeed in every aspect of our life, emerging victorious in battles filled with animosity and sadness. Every mortal being experiences seasons of rise and fall, of light and dark, of pain and purpose, and defeat and victory.

Sunday Morning at Church
My cat told me not to go to Church this morning. I almost obeyed her. I was wondering if I could go to the bar on a Saturday night and then go to Church on a Sunday morning without feeling like a confounded hypocrite. I defied my cat's advice and drove to church thinking about the song "Boondocks" by Little Big Town. "You get a line, I'll get a pole. We'll go fishing in the crawfish hole. Five-card poker on Saturday night. Church on Sunday morning." I'm glad I defied my cat and went to church. It's decorated so Christmas style and it lifts my spirits even if I'm a "black sheep" or even if I'm not an essential member of the church.

The Struggles Behind Success: A Heartfelt Truth
The Struggles Behind Success: A Heartfelt Truth People are often drawn to the glamour of success. They admire the wealth you’ve accumulated, the recognition you’ve earned, and the prestige you now command. However, very few care to see the struggles, sacrifices, and relentless efforts that paved the way to your success.

Evil Eye is Not Real - How to Train Your Mind for Abundance
Recently, there have been so many social media outrages and debates revolving around the concept of the Evil eye and whether it is real or not, and how other people’s negative energy or wishing bad upon us can lead to our downfall. While there are a lot of contrasting opinions about this concept, there is no research or scientific study that can prove whether this is real or not. I firmly believe the notion of the evil eye is rooted in superstitious and cultural beliefs that people who are envious of your growth or the light that you behold wish bad upon you or send curses your way which ultimately leads to ill health or losing the abundance that is present in your life.

Hey YOU, Yes, You. Quit Discontenting Yourself. You're Perfect.
Hey, person. Oh, my God, YOU, the one reading it right now. Now I need you to pause for a moment. And let out everything that he made sense. Just take a breath. Give it a minute for the whole thing to die. The next thing to tell you cost me a million. You are perfect. I recognize this inner critic — the one who says, “I’m not enough.” Or screams, “You’ll never be enough.” It is the tone that makes you doubt every choice, every possibility, every little shred of what makes you. You see, that voice — you need to pay attention — is a liar. You are far from good enough. You’re already so, so large. You can remain in your place without lifting a finger. You are precisely what you were created to be. You’d had to begin considering it.” Quit wanting to be someone else Have you ever seen someone’s entire life and said, “I’m becoming this person”? It can be your best friend, a colleague, the latest celebutante, or someone you follow on Instagram. But does it not sound greener than the grass? And I don’t know about you, but I don’t. Imagine if you need only a glimpse through those lenses and telepathy of their brains whenever whatever was behind that smirk once the scenes abased was delivered to you. What if all the great power and ideas of the great were where an image in the ideal? You are different. You may be the only person in the universe with the particular mix of knowledge, likes, and wants that you have. The soul is your spirit, your essence is yours. That’s amazing. Your reception, your sense of humor, your exit on being — none of the “you” features can be marketed. Be yourself because everyone else is already taken — Oscar Wilde.
