There are times in our life when nothing is in our control. We gave everything we could. We don’t have a time machine to fix past mistakes. What matters is your commitment. It helps you reduce sulking. The constant question monkey mind throws at you: what if you had done this or that. Death of …

shadows
Are we shadows of our past, experiences, or learnings? As we grew, many learnings got transferred from our ancestors and forefathers. We still have restaurants with secret recipes passed to each generation, like making cheese, bread, or wine. Some remaining folklores are passed through generations. With the change in society, we care least about them. …

Goodbyes are never easy, especially where both sides want to be in the journey but not stick to a common viewpoint. Not having an aligned view in the journey will cause pain and frustration. Be very careful with what you are getting, and how far can you align with the person or organization’s ideology? Our …

Playing a victim card can take us somewhere. We cannot live life with it. The world is a miserable place. Every other day something happens, and it will occupy the centre stage. You have to heal your trauma. You have to face the world and make your life count. No one else can heal you, …

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. …

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 …
Inflammation
Last few years, I have spent some time reading about body and health. In due course, I have tried numerous diets. I was able to lose weight. I have realized that our health depends on what we eat, and it is not about calories in or out. Our quality of food distinguishes our life. I …
