I don’t understand this craziness of selling oneself: looks, knowledge or thought leadership over social media. Are we so alone or shallow from inside or are we scared that no one is listening to us? We have stopped living for ourselves but our projections. How we look, what we read, what we were or what …

raw
Seeing a child is fascinating: all of their tantrums included. It is amazing how they live an independent, break free life. There are no rules or etiquette written for them. All of their actions are raw and free from the booklet society throws at us as we mature. Sometimes I wonder was it better being …

Looks like the 24/7 news on protests has gotten over me. In my dream, I was crying over the cutting of the mango tree by my neighbor. The tree has grown with me, it is habitat for many birds apart from delicious mangoes. I called up mom asking about it, it looks like it was …

See a mother or a father how against all odds they ensure a healthy upbringing for their family. Love is the hugs, the happiness you witness in the eye of a newborn kid for their mother, the belief …
lie
