We are running on a treadmill. A lot of this blame goes to our parents and society. The level of expectations put on young shoulders by Indian parents is undoubtedly beyond the limits. There is a checklist made as we age. This system makes life miserable for women, a constant nudge of getting married and …

Injury
I have been regularly running for over six years now. It has been more of a meditation for me and helps with clear thoughts. I am not a gym person and quit cycling as well after a morning riding accident. I have been in on and off knee pain because of running. Last week I …
lead
Can you lead with fear or putting guns on the head of your team? Isn’t a team is about working together for a common cause? The modern world runs on money. People join and leave for better money. But how long can money subside over shitty work conditions or treated like a slave with a …
want
Our desires have no limit. If we start writing a bucket list, most of us will end up filling a few hundred pages. It is good to have a bucket list. But what happens to us when these lists end up being unmet? Does it make us love the world and people around us less? …

We build our imaginary castle, and when these expectations are unmet, we turn sad or become violent. In certain instances, we stop believing in humanity altogether …
positive
We are living in a world where being positive is supreme. We have been sedated and pumped up via coaches or best-selling authors why we should think positive. At times I feel capitalism thrives under the cult of positivity. I have been told time and again how acceptance and positive belief does miracles. I understand …
