My stories, My way
Y is for You! Everything starts and ends here. There is a Shloka in Bhagvad Geeta – Akele aaye hain and akele hi jaana hai – we come to the world alone and leave it alone. It doesn’t translate that we should be alone but the fact that it is very important to think about…
X is for XO which stands for hugs and kisses in popular culture. I started researching as to how it came about. The internet has many theories – it seems X resembles lip lock and O looks like two people embracing. I cannot see it but symbolism has always been interesting. I am a big…
W is for Wisdom – wisdom of stories passed through generations, wisdom of parents’ experience and wisdom of what I have learnt as I have grown older. In Hinduism, wisdom is defined as a state of mind and soul where a person achieves liberation. Nirvana, as it is called, is reaching a place of ultimate…
V is for vulnerability – our biggest strength. Showing vulnerability is about displaying your authentic self to the world. And what can be more powerful than that?

When I started with today’s post, I had to remind myself about the last 2 years. Especially coz 2020 has been a blur! The pandemic has really shifted my concept of time…may be for all of us in some way! We all change as time passes. In fact our personal growth is driven through change…
