Why is it so difficult to accept our mistakes? Is it more to do with never go wrong attitude created by society or our ego. I see endless thought leadership and fight on twitter now and then. On many occasions, one person shares something controversial, incorrect, and fights until the end to hold the ground. …

obsessed
Has it ever occurred to you when you have become too obsessed with something? That obsession could be about work, person, or possession. Has it helped anyone being obsessed? Or it has fostered panic, fear, or sleeplessness? I spoke to a few friends. Their answers were mixed. Some said being obsessed about anything is like …
body
It took me over 30 years to realize that my body needs some care. I meant knowing myself, my limits, and what and how everything affects my body. Most of us relate the body with looks, muscles, and abs. We tend to treat the brain like a less loved organ without knowing that it consumes …

who
Who is going to stand by you? Are we all not alone in our little world? Thoughts, imagination, dreams all are ours. Who owns responsibility? I have been seeing a trend where people don’t want to change, move on, or take steps ahead. Some are victims of their past, live by the memories, and sometimes …
dependent
Why do we have to be dependent on alcohol, drugs, smoking, or a guru? Is it because we are scared to accept and live our lives in real sense? We have read or heard that the consumption of foreign substances will make us better? I feel we are scared of living as we are. Why …
