    Picture this, you are sitting with a cup of tea/coffee, scrolling through your phone, and suddenly realizing how weird it is that we, as a generation, are so connected yet so emotionally starved. We know exactly what someone across the world had for breakfast but often have no clue what’s going on inside our own…

    When people ask me, “What have you been working on lately?”, I know they usually expect me to talk about a job, a project, or some visible accomplishment. But honestly, what I’ve really been working on isn’t something that fits neatly into a résumé or a social media update. I’ve been working on myself, on…

    If I could sit down with my younger self and whisper one lesson into their ears, it would be this: your life is yours to live, not a stage for others to direct. For the longest time, I thought I had to bend, mold, and sometimes even break myself to fit into other people’s expectations,…

    In an alternate universe, I think I’m living somewhere near the mountains, not the kind of mountains people hike just for Instagram stories, but the kind that feel like they have souls. I wake up to the sound of birds and the scent of wet soil, not alarm clocks and deadlines. There’s no constant rush,…

    Honestly, everything.But not in the academic way we’re taught to be curious in school. Not in the “read a chapter and give an answer” kind of way.I’m curious about life, the messy, confusing, beautiful, heartbreaking experience of just being human. I often find myself staring at the ceiling at 2 AM, wondering: Why is my…

    If someone couldn’t see me and asked me to describe myself, I think I’d pause, not because I wouldn’t know what to say, but because it’s hard to wrap a whole human into neat little words. Still, I’d try. I’d say, “I’m someone who feels deeply, even when I don’t show it. I live in…

    Recently, I’ve been asking myself this question, not merely reflectively, but on a soul level. What am I holding on to that is keeping me out of balance with peace, with joy, with who I truly am? And the response arrives softly, but clearly, I could release toxic people. The ones who suck the life…

    Honestly, for me, self-care isn’t just about doing face masks or going on a digital detox (though those things help too!). It’s about coming home to myself, mentally, emotionally, spiritually. I’ve realized self-care starts with being truly present with me. Not just surviving the day but really asking myself, “How do I feel today?” and…

    Honestly? A lot. Maybe too many for one lifetime, but that’s the exciting part, right? I’ve always felt this strange, unexplainable connection to foreign countries, especially the western ones. It’s like my soul whispers to me every time I watch a travel vlog or see pictures of old cobblestone streets, snow-covered mountains, or neon-lit cities.…

    Honestly, I think it’s a mix of what touches the soul, what nurtures the heart, and what grounds the body. For me, a good life isn’t just about achievements or appearances, it’s about what makes me feel deeply connected, supported, and at peace. First and foremost, Bhakti.To me, Bhakti is not just devotion in a…
