Fixing Life
I think I need to fix it,There’s something broken it seems;Is it me or is it life,Or is it everything in between? I have an urge to find a solution,To a question or a problemWhich exists only in my mind,And yet it seems so real. Being constantly in the fight or flight mode,Trying to figure […]

Seeking Answers
Staying up at nights, I keep thinking;Trying to find answers,Of questions I do not know.Asking the darkness,To show me the light;Asking the weak,Tell me, how to fight?I keep running over and over,Through the same lanes,And the same roads;Hoping to run into something new,Something exciting, Giving me a cue.Little do I know, For the answers I […]

Let’s break the silence on mental health issues for NRIs
“Mental health problems don’t define who you are. They are something you experience. You walk in the rain and you feel the rain, but, importantly, YOU ARE NOT THE RAIN.” — Matt Haig The thought of living abroad in a new country comes with its excitement, making us picture a happy life full of adventures […]

It’s not you, It’s me!
When I see you, it’s sad, You obviously need some help, Even though you don’t think that’s true, But I can see it all through. I can see your mind angry, I can feel your cry for help; It’s clearly visible how you avoid things, And people betrayed, this is how you felt. Like you […]

Weeding your subconscious
Every incident matters. It leaves an everlasting trace on you. No matter how small, and no matter how insignificant. You are changing every single minute. Each encounter leaves an impact on you. You are nothing but a collection of events since birth and beyond. Every event that happened to you has shaped you in some […]

You are what you give away
We all have judged someone one time or the other. Oh, she is good. Yeah, He’s snazzy. Well, I wish he were more intelligent. And we all subconsciously continue to do so. But have we ever though what kind of person we are? No, really? Have we ever? I am sure a lot of us […]

The fear of the unknown
The unknown grabs metwists my guts and turns them around.Not knowing the outcomelocks me to the ground. It grapples meto the hooks of routineaccepting what isfor the ordinary thing. It makes me want to staywhere I should be leavingand be afraid of doingwhat might be the right thing. It ties me down in my very […]

Blame game
“You always blame me for what happened”; “Why am I always responsible for anything that goes wrong?” If this is what something you keep telling or wondering, chances are you are the one blaming yourself rather than others around you. You need to recognize the pattern of automatically holding yourself responsible for everything around you. […]

Things are meant to be
If things are meant to be,Nothing you do matters;However unlikely they seem,Even if they are in tatters. All the obstacles you counted,And all the negatives you saw;There’s always a way that works,That’s the goddamn law! If people are meant to be together,They will end up so;All they must do is trust,And just go with the […]

When worries surround you
When worries surround you,And you don’t know what to do;When nothing seems to work,Everyone looks like a jerk. When restlessness is your new friend,And you have so much to mend;When nothing anymore excites you,“Oh routine! I am tired” is your cue. Stop worrying of the future and the past,These will not last;Do what need to […]

Unstuck yourself!
I have seen a lot of people feeling stuck in their life at some or the other point. They have this feeling where they feel worthless, they are bored with life. Life feels like a routine. Nothing new, nothing exciting. They hate their life. They feel worthless. They feel as if there is nothing to […]

Stories our mind makes up
Ask your mind to stop thinking for a bit? At the precise moment, innumerable thoughts will come up to keep you engaged. Well, this is the nature of our mind. Mind is the master. Majority of us identify ourselves as our mind. What we lack to realize is that mind has It’s own identity. Just […]

The invisible
Like a blanket of comfort;Like the favorite shirt,Like a blessing in disguise;Like the waves that rise;Like the bond of joy;And the amusing toy;Like a laborers chore;A traditional folklore;Like the sun that shines;Oh! the intoxicating wine;Like the moon that reflects;And the hearts that connect;Like the all supreme;Yet the very dream;Like the see-able unseen;The core of every […]

I am growing
I am growing, evolving; I am turning into a new me. Slowly, but surely, I am going to be free. My mind is just a tool, And my thoughts still rule; It will take loads of time, But ultimately, I will find. What I seek, is seeking me; And distracted I might be, Yet, it […]

Rise up
I fall time and again, Yet I get up and walk; I aim to fly high in the sky, Whilst I am still crawling. People I love – leave, And yet I am still hopeful. When everything comes crashing, I smile and say, There’s always another chance, A new day, A new opportunity. I am […]

Stop Judging…. Yourself!
“Oh, it’s not really his fault”, “It’s ok buddy no worries” or “That’s alright. I completely understand why you did what you did”. We all have said this to a lot of people. We all have forgiven other people for their mistakes, for the hurt that they have caused us. We always give other people […]

Six Strings of a Guitar
Aren’t we all a little like that? Limited by ourselves and so involved in our own thoughts of right and wrong that we forget to see beyond. We are so comfortable in our routines and egos and limits set by ourselves that we actually forget to live!

Don’t Lust, Grow!
A thousand suns are still insufficient for the insatiable minds. Isn’t that true? When all we want is more and more, we can never be satisfied. But is it wrong to ask for more? It’s that a way of moving ahead in your life? We don’t want stagnation in our lives. All of us want […]

Ask people “what is life all about?”, and you get so many different answers – it is about finding your purpose, being a good human being, fulfilling your dreams or simply living. Personally, I feel life is all about experiencing both – the good and bad, learning your lessons and evolving. But here, I want […]

Friends are forever
Friends – we all have them. They are like our extended family, sometimes extended part of ourselves! With them, we can be as crazy as we like and still be counted sane! They are the people whom we share our every secret, every joy and sadness. We have fights, we patch-up, we talk about our […]

Have a Magical Day – Every Day!
Life is never one smooth journey. There are always ups and downs in life. Everyone has both good and bad phases in life. The good phases make happy memories.
