When she plays hopscotch outside the house, she likes all her five-year-old friends to be with her. She also wants her grandmother to sit across the road. Just sit, doing nothing. Nothing but watching her. Nothing but sitting and looking at her from time to time. That is what she wants. This is one of …
A jar full of candies. Wishes half-boiled on medium heat. Hearts exchanged at parallel positions during midnight. A lottery won on a fluke. Answers to the lost questions in the desert. Winds blowing in the desired direction. Seasons arranging in the coveted order. Miseries falling like dominoes. Views shifting as per the desires. Life happening …
Some people are not meant to be a juggler, while there are some who live their lives as a master of all skills. Some not defining the worth of anything, and others carrying the abundance of everything within them. The strong, roaring waves of a beach strike the rocks with a bang, but the silence …
Winters are often remembered for long nights, heavy air, fog-laden darkness, and the misty marks they leave upon the thoughts of many thinkers, I think. They become the season of longing for hopeless romantics. Suddenly everyone seems to be on a bench in the dark woods. Alone. Searching for something, watching the road for a …
Some people describe perfectionism as their quality and hobby. They are proud of it and boast about it. Why not?

This is a realization article. Now, I don’t know what it means—if this term doesn’t exist, then I’ve just invented it.

I know that in this life we nurture too many dreams and wishes, setting an array of goals for ourselves. We sometimes raise the barriers too high and make things unnecessarily difficult for ourselves. We become too harsh, setting restrictions that are impossibly elevated for our own spirits to reach. But I would like to …
This is about faith, and I am writing about it. That is quite an irony because at this point I should have been the last person in the world to do so, but here I am, and I’ll be doing it because it is in my hands. So if I were writing it with my …
In life, we are often taught to climb this treacherous mountain, because on the summit lies the elusive success. Not only is it steep, but labyrinthine as well, and sometimes it is in this overwhelming density that souls lose themselves, who they truly are beneath the surface. Maybe when we do set out in search …
Five Acts of Kindness. It sounds small — almost shy. What can five random gestures really do? But think of it like that famous “ek chutki sindoor” — one tiny pinch that changes everything. Just like how Ramesh babu didn’t know the power of ek chutki sindoor, we are unaware of the impact, these random acts of …
