In our minds resides a demon, it is full of pessimism and fear. It starts seeding our thoughts with why and whatnot, and ends by making us fearful. Most of us have surrendered to it. We have accepted our limitations and have let it rule over us. There are some days in life when I …

Nothing
When you are in a state of accepting that you don’t know things, that is when curiosity kicks in and inner motivation drives you to learn things. We live in a world of recycled knowledge, where everyone claims to be an expert. What differentiates us then is working more than the rest and understanding the …
Writer
A writer’s life is a mixed bag: happiness, pain, melancholy, and celebration. The contents flow from the subconscious with real-world experiences. Another aspect of writing involves crafting stories and achieving personal desires via the story. In many instances, the author’s failure becomes their arsenal on which they build the script. The wildest of the dreams, …
Process
We get involved in the process at times. As a result, we forget the purpose. Our life is a collection of moments; we create it. The surroundings, people, and our thoughts play a key role in it. We know where we have to travel. At many times, we get so obsessed with the plan that …
40
I recently celebrated my 40th birthday. With age, we become wiser because we have witnessed more ups and downs. It’s the scars we carry that make us more cautious.

These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its continuing mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go …
unknown
Going through Ruskin Bond’s short stories takes me back to childhood. Even though I was born in a plain, but after school, Delhi became home. The frequent trips to the hills from the ISBT bus stand. It seems every other house on the hill had a unique story. Or it was a favorite time for …
test
If we look objectively, life seems to be some kind of test. There is one or the other surprise hidden in every aspect of it during our existence. It is not something one can overcome. We can only celebrate and lead our lives. The definition of happiness, the power of money, or freedom are all …
Connect
We are living in an automated world. Our emotions are like air, impossible to catch. Our moments are slaves to the digital sphere. The connections are mostly plastic and hollow. The rat race of proving something or someone has superseded the act of becoming human. We appear too busy to live with essence. We are …
