Share a lesson you wish you had learned earlier in life. I wish I had learned earlier that not everyone who smiles at you has good intentions. Some people are incredibly skilled at wearing masks, pretending to care while secretly gathering your words to use them as weapons later. If I had known how deeply … Continue reading Smiles with Hidden Fangs

When people talk about fitness, they often think of strict routines—morning runs, gym sessions, or evening yoga. But not everyone sticks to a formal exercise regimen. I don't follow a structured walking or running routine, but that doesn't mean I'm inactive. Though I don't go out for scheduled walks or runs, walking is still a … Continue reading My Unplanned Walking Habit
Do you see yourself as a leader? Yes, I See Myself as a Leader. Here's Why. When someone asks, "Do you see yourself as a leader?" the immediate image that comes to mind is often a CEO in a corner office or a commander on a battlefield. We think of grand titles and bold commands, … Continue reading What Leadership Means to Me
What's your favorite word? There’s something beautifully disarming about the word thanks. It’s short, quiet, and often said without much thought — but it carries a kind of gentle power that can shift the entire energy of a moment.

For me, it's a constellation of traits that all point to one core issue: a lack of authenticity and respect. The first and most jarring is backbiting. When someone … Continue reading What I Don’t Tolerate

Each day begins not with a jolt, but with a gentle awakening. The quiet stillness of a morning meditation, followed by the … Continue reading My Ideal Week
Name the professional athletes you respect the most and why. Professional athletes often become more than just players on a field. They evolve into symbols of discipline, resilience, and relentless passion. Over the years, many have left a mark on me, but one name continues to stand above the rest—Sachin Tendulkar. What I deeply respect … Continue reading Beyond the Game
For me, relaxing isn't about booking a weekend getaway or diving into a complicated meditation routine. It’s just this: I lie down, close my eyes, and take a few deep breaths. That’s it. And it works. The act of lying down sends an immediate signal to my body—it’s time to rest. There’s something about that … Continue reading The Art of Doing Nothing
If you had to give up one word that you use regularly, what would it be? If I had to give up one word I use all the time, it would be “scared.” I say it reflexively. A car horn blares, a shadow moves in the periphery, or someone sneaks up on me, and I … Continue reading Rewriting My Reactions
