Alive
The world is in a mess. From the middle east to Africa to Asia to Europe people are dying because of war, famine, disease, and hunger. Millions are getting displaced everyday in tribal war, religious war or country battle. These people are working hard to build there new identity and because what they have gone …
sulking
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.
