Today’s question – “One thing you should stop doing” There are so many things that cross my mind for this question. But if I have to choose one thing it would be overthinking. I tend to overthink about situations. It has lot to do with my upbringing where we were pushed to perfection and the…

Day 8 – Fame
Today’s question “How important is fame for you?” Some people live their whole life chasing fame and if they get it, then worrying about losing it and if they don’t get it, then getting depressed about it. I have never chased fame and don’t care about it. In fact, as much as possible, I try…
Day 7 – Best Friends
Today’s question is “ Three things you and your best friend have in common.” I made friends in my new homeland in my adulthood which is always harder but better. When you make friends in adulthood, you are more conscious and choosy. I am very lucky that I have a close circle of friends who…
Day 6 – Friendship
Today’s question is “The most important qualities in a friend” I have always had friendships based on common values and alignment of energies.

Day 2 – Success
Today’s question is “Do you feel successful in life?” This is a question that is close to my heart and I have written a few articles on it. I grew up in India where the idea of what success looked like was defined by the society – study with excellent marks, do a professional course,…

July 2024
Winter months are for hibernation but as humans even though we store, we don’t hibernate and rest. I have learnt to balance. I either like to travel to warmer places or try and stay put at home as much as possible. This month I focussed on my reading. I took advantage of the Prime Day…
June 2024
I am penning my blog after almost 6 months. I am not sure why I stopped but the vacation made me think about reviving it again. I like blogging; it is therapeutic for me and I liken it to Pensieve, as described in Harry Potter. I love going back and reading and reflecting on it….
