Dogs or cats? Honestly, I don't prefer either. I mean, I’m not here to rain on anyone’s parade—if you love them, keep them. But for me, the whole pet thing just never clicked. Maybe it’s because I grew up with both in the house, and let's just say... the experience didn’t exactly win me over. … Continue reading Not My Pet Club

List 10 things you know to be absolutely certain. I don’t know everything. But there are a few things I’ve come to see clearly. Not because someone told me, not from books, but from living, watching, and learning the hard way. These, I know for sure: 1. I will die one day. This body won’t … Continue reading 10 Things I Know for Sure
If I could host a dinner and invite anyone, knowing they would surely come, I would invite my husband's friend and his family—people who live far away, yet remain so close to our hearts.

What do you think gets better with age? It really depends on the person. Some grow older with grace, becoming softer, wiser, more patient. Others grow more rigid, perhaps a bit cranky, shaped by years of experience — both good and bad. But in many cases, certain qualities do tend to deepen over time: Wisdom … Continue reading The Beauty of Growing Old
I don’t follow a fixed bedtime or wake-up schedule. I listen to my body and mind—when they feel tired, they naturally signal that it’s time to rest, and I go to bed right away. Usually, I go to bed sometime between 9:30 and midnight. I don’t use an alarm; instead, I allow my body to … Continue reading My Natural Sleep Rhythm

What are you most excited about for the future? I am most excited about the tiny spark I see now—small, almost imperceptible, yet glowing with the promise of transformation. It is a spark of awareness, of awakening, of good karma taking root quietly in the hearts of a few. Though modest in its beginnings, it … Continue reading My Future Excitement for “One Spark, One World”
I’ve let go of many things in my life—for the sake of peace, for the sake of others, for the fragile balance that often holds relationships and environments together. At home, at work, in friendships and conversations—I’ve swallowed words, stepped aside, compromised, and chosen silence over being right. But among all that I’ve released, one … Continue reading The Things I Release for the Sake of Harmony
Describe your most memorable vacation Looking back, one of the most unforgettable vacations we ever took as a family was years ago—a journey to Bangalore and Mangalore filled with discovery, laughter, and memories.

Have you ever had surgery? What for? Yes. Six.All because of one accident. One careless moment by a bike rider. I was on my scooter—just riding to the Church for Mass—and then everything changed. The impact wasn’t just metal against metal. It was life crashing into stillness. My leg and shoulder took the worst of … Continue reading When His Riding Mistake Became My Six-Surgery Story
How do you practice self-care? My self-care practice may appear intense, even selfish, but for me, it's a profound commitment to inner peace, discipline, and the purification of the mind. I've come to understand that I am the creator of my own miseries, and therefore, I must also be the one to overcome them. This … Continue reading The Discipline That Hurts—and Heals
Every day, I waste time. Not in the way people usually mean it. I don’t sit scrolling endlessly through social media or binge-watch shows on autopilot (well… not every day). My kind of time-wasting is quieter. It’s the kind that wears the disguise of productivity—writing articles, reading stories, and falling into poems like open windows … Continue reading The Art of Wasting My Time Everyday
Some moments in life don’t just pass—they stay with you, quietly shaping who you become. One such moment in my life was meeting Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, and even more incredibly, capturing that moment in a photograph that I will always treasure. Like millions of others, I admired Dr. Kalam not just for his accomplishments—as … Continue reading When Dreams Met Reality
I was fifteen, fresh out of 10th grade, at that in-between age where you’re no longer a child but not yet something else either. I never had strong feelings toward boys or girls, never looked at anyone with anything more than a sibling-like ease. I spoke to everyone the same way I spoke to my … Continue reading A Crush on Temple Festival Night
What’s your favorite thing about yourself? If you had met me a few years ago, you would have seen a completely different person—tense, restless, and often overwhelmed. My mind was always racing, pulled between the regrets of yesterday and the uncertainties of tomorrow. I was fiery by nature, quick to react and slow to let … Continue reading From Fire to Stillness
I don’t dream of retiring in the conventional sense. I want to keep working—not because I have to, but because I want to. I’d like to stay active and purposeful until my last breath. For me, fulfillment comes not from idleness but from making a difference, even in small ways. Still, I long for financial … Continue reading Until the Last Breath
"The story of an old laptop and the words it still helps bring to life" It hums a little louder than it used to. The battery lasts about as long as a short coffee break. The keys have lost their letters from years of typing, and the screen has a faint flicker that would probably … Continue reading Vintage but Valuable
There’s a certain kind of magic that exists in the early morning. It’s not loud or showy. It doesn’t arrive with fanfare. Instead, it comes quietly—with the hush of still air, the dim blue of dawn, and a world that hasn’t yet remembered to rush. One of my favorite moments—perhaps the favorite—is the hour I … Continue reading Before the World Wakes
“What notable things happened today?” It’s a question we often ask with the expectation of excitement—an achievement, a dramatic change, some kind of big news. But today, the answer was different. No milestones, no headlines. And yet… something quietly magical happened. It rained heavily this morning. The kind of rain that soaks the earth deeply, … Continue reading The Sun Came Back
Have you ever had a moment when everything seemed fine on the outside, but inside, something felt... off? That quiet, almost invisible ache that whispers, “There’s more to life than this.” That whisper is what started my journey into holistic health. For me, holistic health isn’t just about eating well or taking care of the … Continue reading The Passion That Guides Me
