The Man Who Forgot He Was Alive
The Man Who Forgot He Was Alive He couldn’t remember where he’d put his keys. That was how it started. A small thing. He stood at the doorway, hand frozen over the knob, a blank space in his mind where knowledge used to be. He checked the table, his coat pocket, the kitchen counter—nothing. Eventually, he found them in the fridge, resting beside a carton of milk he didn’t remember buying.

The Story of a Pomegranate and the Sweetness of Compassion
The Story of a Pomegranate and the Sweetness of Compassion There was a man who used to buy pomegranates from an old woman every day. Each time, after the weighing was done and the price was paid, he would cut open the pomegranate, take a single seed, put it in his mouth, and frown as if it tasted sour. He would then complain aloud, saying, "These are sour!" After voicing his complaint, he would hand the pomegranate back to the elderly woman without taking it home.

The Silent Bond
In the quiet hills of a forgotten village named Sundarpur, far from cities and crowds, lived two friends: Hari and Ramu. They had known each other since they were boys. No one remembered how they became friends—it was just something that always was, like the river that flowed beside the village or the mango tree near the temple.

Master Your Mind
Master Your Mind: The Art of Commanding Your Thoughts and Reining in Mental Chaos In today’s fast-paced world, most people find themselves prisoners of their own thoughts.

Yet, what if we could hold the reins? What if we could truly master our minds, command our thoughts, and steer our mental energy toward clarity, peace, and success?

The Man Who Fixed Radios, But Broke His Silence
My father wasn’t a talkative man. He fixed old radios for a living in a dusty corner shop squeezed between a tire repair stand and a tea stall. Every morning, he’d leave before sunrise, lunchbox in hand, grease already on his fingers. Every evening, he’d return smelling like wires and solder, his silence louder than any conversation.

The Day I Found My Father's Journal
I was never close to my father.It’s not that we didn’t get along—we just existed beside each other. He was the quiet, stern type. The kind of man who never raised his voice, never lost his cool, and never told you how he felt. He worked hard, read the newspaper religiously, and believed emotions were something you kept folded up in your back pocket, like an old receipt you never threw away.
