Mindfulness
By simply tweaking our deep-seated ideas about even the simplest of things that have an impact on our lives, we can achieve improvement in our day-to-day life and/or personal growth. Since childhood, we have been accustomed or even indoctrinated to believe a bunch of things and as a result behave the way we behave. My goal is to encourage you to question your beliefs and be open for change rather than uncritically consume the information that is being fed to us. By slowly detoxifying your mind, you can start questioning the established norms. You can also avoid unnecessary suffering caused when we make decisions based on incomplete or incorrect knowledge as evidence-based information is either being withheld, trivialized or in a way that benefits certain vested interests.

Yesterday my eldest who is three and a half came back in from our garden saying that he’d stepped on the baby sparrow my husband had rescued a few days back. I don’t know if this actually happened. Benjamin is still in that age where…

Togetherness instead of social distancing
Let’s make space for each other. Even if we don’t feel like it. We have to. Because fear melts in the presence of togetherness. That’ why we are being kept apart. With physical distancing turning into social distancing. With pieces of plastic covering our smiles. …

The power of a hug
Life is so simple. We have everything we need in that one hug. That hug is our safe place. That hug keeps us sane and true to ourselves. That hug gives us space to reflect and reconnect. We don’t fight when we hug. We don’t…

What happens to your story once you’re gone?
While pushing the stroller in the cemetery outside my mother-in-law’s house on chilly June mornings, I found myself thinking about the message that we leave behind us once we are gone. My baby found strolling on the unpaved roads in-between the graves soothing, which meant…
