A woman has to go through many challenges in her life. She is a multi-tasker: a mother, sister, wife, or entrepreneur. She has to compete with men and society every day to prove her worth. Religious fundamentalists in a few countries have made them an object for pleasure or baby-producing machines with all the restrictions. …

Mandala
In the last few months, I have lost track of many things. I have gotten sick a few times. As a result, less focused as well. I am finally getting to try mandala, hoping it will help me get back to reading and writing. I remember reading about it in Carl Jung’s autobiography long back.
Possibility
We live a life of infinite possibility. Our actions, efforts, and some luck get us what we want. And sometimes giving our best, our desired result gets un-achieved. We have to leave it at that. A few went against the odds and made freedom; innovation possible. Gandhi, Martin Luther, Wright Brothers are a few pioneers. …
self
The world is burning, and millions of lives are lost due to hunger, overeating, and war. We can be a cheerleader, supporters, or take sides. At the same time, we can do our part by being more responsible with what we are consuming. We want to eat seafood or enjoy the chill in an air …

sides
We are biased and crave what fulfills our ideology. NATO/UN have given great attention to the Russian aggregation. Ukraine will be part of NATO anytime soon, it seems. I am not saying what is happening in Ukraine is right. But what I would have ideally liked is that these organisations equal attention to other merciless …
travel
Can travel recharge us? Despite us carrying all our pain in our head? Travel is considered a solitude and peaceful experience. I am not sure how much of it is correct. In smartphones, we carry our existing world and experience less travel. We are all digital nomads, we are no more traveling but shit posting …
escape
We try to delay tough decisions. We end up running away from it. We are scared of being hurt. In reality, deep inside, we are hurting ourselves more. Can we live our septic figure for auto-healing? Does it not result in it affecting the entire hand?
Optimist
Radical Optimist, a virtue I have added in the last five years of startup life. Running a company is a mad ride in itself, and not having an optimist approach to our action will harm us. We have things in our control, which is giving our best. However the same time, the output is a …
