  • Karmic Flow!

    Karmic Flow!

    Wow, that’s a profound question, and my response is both yes and no. I firmly believe that some aspects of life are beyond our control, while others are within our grasp to change. This dilemma, perhaps, ties back to the concept of Karma—a notion I’m still striving to comprehend fully. The uncertainty surrounding such topics… Continue reading

  • Yay or Nay!

    Yay or Nay!

    Do you enjoy your job? It all depends on the nature of the job. If it involves annoying my partner, then I absolutely love it! :) Reading? Yay! Exercising? Yay! Cooking? Yay! Sleeping? Yay! Hiking? Yay! Watching movies? Yay! The aspects I’d mostly say nay to would be doing the dishes and anything that requires… Continue reading

  • Transitions

    Transitions

    Life, it seems, simply moved forward, I’d say. I never really took a moment to bid farewell to any phase of my life, as each transition felt gradual. However, reflecting on this question now, I realize the years following graduation and venturing into the ‘serious’ world were perhaps the most enjoyable and carefree. Yet, here… Continue reading

  • Selfhood

    Selfhood

    Now, why would I ever want to be someone else even for a day? I appreciate myself and the person I have become, so it’s a resounding no from me. Call me vain, but I am content with how I’ve turned out. Indeed, there are moments in my life I might wish to change, but… Continue reading

  • Joyful Endeavors

    Joyful Endeavors

    Admittedly, my inclination towards laziness has led me to seek assistance for my DIY projects. My foray into gardening was less than fruitful, and an attempt to paint my room resulted in a calamity that affected not only the walls but the floor as well. The memory makes me wince even now. However, my culinary… Continue reading

  • Words that really matter!

    Words that really matter!

    Do we truly wish to ban a word forever? If that’s the case, then all derogatory words ought to be prohibited. There’s little sense in casting insults and diminishing someone’s spirit. I’ve shared my thoughts on the power of positive speech and its profound effect on others before. In these times, the world is in… Continue reading

  • Optimism and Resilience

    Optimism and Resilience

    Ideally, I’d embrace optimism and wish for a future devoid of challenges. Wouldn’t that be perfect? However, life often unfolds in unexpected ways, so I am preparing myself to view any forthcoming challenge as an opportunity for growth, aiming to emerge triumphant and more resilient. Regardless of the circumstances, my strategy is to remain calm… Continue reading

  • Beyond Scores

    Beyond Scores

    What advice would you give to your teenage self? Scores aren’t everything. In the grand tapestry of life, exam scores and numbers fade in significance. What truly matters is your ability to understand, to learn, and to progress. Embrace happiness and always remember: you are remarkable! Oh, and cherish this phase of life, for it… Continue reading

  • Alasyam – Inactivity

    Alasyam – Inactivity

    What bores you? Inactivity bores me. Does that translate to being lazy? There is a saying in Sanskrit that laziness is your greatest enemy. (आलस्यं हि मनुष्याणां शरीरस्थो महान् रिपुः।) That being said, I once read a quote suggesting that those who are content with themselves are never bored. This idea, though now considered a… Continue reading

  • Uplifters – vāgbhūṣaṇaṃ

    Uplifters – vāgbhūṣaṇaṃ

    Anyone radiating positivity can transform your life and surroundings for the better! Indeed, your words have the power to endear you to others or make you someone to avoid. Constantly complaining or harboring negative thoughts can isolate you from everyone. Reflecting on this, there’s a profound Sanskrit adage by a poet that says – “vāgbhūṣaṇaṃ… Continue reading
