My Tech-Savvy Scholar Life
Oh, how has technology changed my job? Well… first of all, I don’t exactly have a job in the traditional sense. I’m a research scholar and an author, which basically means I’m either buried in academic articles, lost in a forest of footnotes, or having deep emotional conversations with my laptop at 2 AM.

Learning to Say No
Honestly… not often. Or at least, not in the past. I’ve always struggled with saying “no.” You could say I was almost allergic to it.

Caravan Dreams: My Perfect Road Trip
Alright, let’s settle this once and for all. If I’m going on a cross-country trip, what’s my ride of choice? Should I fly like a bird, ride the rails like a mysterious traveler, embrace the chaos of a bus, cruise in a car, or, if I’ve truly lost my mind, pedal my way across the…

Finding Comfort in Simple Joys
Coping with negative feelings is something we all have to navigate at different points in our lives. Over time, I’ve learned that instead of resisting these emotions, it’s much more helpful to acknowledge them, sit with them for a while, and then gently guide myself toward a better state of mind. One of my favorite…

Superstitions: A Part of Me
Oh, absolutely! I am very much superstitious. Being from India, superstition is almost woven into the fabric of daily life. It’s not just about personal beliefs, it’s a societal thing. Growing up, I was constantly surrounded by all kinds of superstitions, whether it was my parents warning me not to sweep the floor in the…
