I feel some places have healing power. It could be a shrine, library, or park. We have to find out what works for us. We can unwind and be with ourselves and our thoughts. Our hyper-connected world has made us more disconnected from ourselves. And it is a cause for worry.

one
How do we know who is the one; I asked some of my married friends. A few told me about years they had spent together, while others mentioned offloading it on their parents. On enquiring further, some agreed that this concept of “one” is flawed. Ideally, we all need a partner who understands each other …
self
There is a kid inside us, irrespective of our age. This kid needs pampering and care. This kid side of us is not open to everyone. Our life is limited so are friends and loved ones. That kid within us gets pampered and reciprocates. Please find that small group to be yourself.
learning
Life is a never-ending learning process. Whatever happens to us: good, bad, or ugly; it teaches us and cements us for a better tomorrow. Once the learning stops, our will to live starts deteriorating. Remember all the fights you were part of the college football team, siblings, friends, or ex-lover. They must have taught you …

World

The sudden need for weapons has increased, and nations like Germany are increasing their Defence budget, buying more weapons from the …
Thank you list
We all make a bucket list. How about we also make a list and keep it near us of all the things we are thankful for. Born in India Great parents and siblings Amazing teachers and education Friends who are to give shoulders in pain Great team to work with. Mentors guiding and showing the …
health
“You are what you eat.”, said a doctor friend to me last week. We are living in a different world post COVID. Some of us are on Long COVID. Its cure is still under process. It has made us take our minds and body more seriously. As we age, we are only deteriorating on the …
