Different Timelines, Different Paths

Life changes every few years. Some phases get over quicker than you’d like to believe; other times, years go by and nothing seems to change. All of it is fine as long as you have company; you’re surrounded by friends and peers, all trying to get through it. So be it preparation for the commonContinueContinue reading “Different Timelines, Different Paths”

How rich are you?

It’s interesting—the trail of a thought! I was watching this podcast on entrepreneurs when it occurred to me. As Riteish and Nikhil were talking about early life success, the imposter syndrome that comes with it, and its connection to ‘belief in God’ (the higher power that’s given you more than you deserve), I was intriguedContinueContinue reading “How rich are you?”

Celebrating the quiet victories!

Some experiences one has to live to fully understand. You might think that reading, listening, or even seeing someone live through it is enough, but no, some parts one has to live on their own.

To have so much to lose!

While watching people is fun at many places, one that’s really interesting is temples. People from all walks of life visit the place for all sorts of reasons, seeking blessings, mental peace, and even materialistic stuff. Some would have long internal dialogues, while others would just express their gratitude and leave. When I visited theContinueContinue reading “To have so much to lose!”

Chocolates in Hidden Boxes

Remember the time you were a kid. Let’s say chocolates were your favorite thing; you go crazy happy whenever you get one. Imagine you are at home one day; Mom and Dad have gone out. After playing with your toys, you get slightly hungry, and so you go to the kitchen. All of a sudden,ContinueContinue reading “Chocolates in Hidden Boxes”

It just happens once!

We spend so much time thinking, wondering about possibilities, worrying about life, meandering in the plains of our momentary situations. It would be interesting if someone were to take snapshots of our lives, say, a month, six months, or two years ago. You’d be thrilled beyond belief to see how much changes so quickly andContinueContinue reading “It just happens once!”

A world for you!

It’s that time of the year—look back and smile. Think of all the little things that went your way, the good things that happened to you, even the bad ones; the seemingly insignificant and yet substantial ways you made the world a better place; the small happinesses you brought to your loved ones! A partContinueContinue reading “A world for you!”

Some new happinesses!!

Some joys are simple, like that of eating your favorite snack or the usual banter amongst your group of friends, but some are layered, big, and new that you might not have felt or processed before. One of my closest friends got married recently, and unfortunately, I couldn’t attend the wedding. In an attempt toContinueContinue reading “Some new happinesses!!”

Witnessing a Wedding!

Attended a cousin’s wedding last week. So many things to write about: the months-long preparation and the long list of people that came; loud events and old rituals; elegant dresses and energetic dances; sparkling décor and the luscious food. The charged emotions of joy and laughter, the intense overwhelming moments of shedding tears of happiness.ContinueContinue reading “Witnessing a Wedding!”

Warmth in Winter

Such a long wait for Gurunanak Jayanti, one of our holiest fests, extra special because of the way we celebrate it in our town – a bustling full-day event right from early morning pheri through all-day events to the late midnight celebrations. And there comes the unexpected rain, trying to steal away the fun. TheContinueContinue reading “Warmth in Winter”

Getting over Defeat

Defeats are personal always, and most of the times are dealt with in isolation. Maybe because unlike success, in which you share and celebrate with everyone, failures can put you in a place where it takes time to get back and even start reaching out, which makes it even more crucial to address them. IContinueContinue reading “Getting over Defeat”
