  • Coming Home to Myself

    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…

  • Pieces of My Soul Across the Map

    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…

    Have you ever paused to ask yourself why you were born as a human? Not in a philosophical or religious sense alone, but truly wondered, why this life, this mind, this moment? According to ancient Indian wisdom, the soul evolves through 84 lakh yonis, that is, life forms, before it reaches the stage of human…

    I know it’s time to unplug when even the things that usually light up my soul start to feel heavy. When I don’t feel like talking to my best friend, the person who knows me better than I know myself. When sketching, writing, or pouring my heart into my journal, which are usually my safe…

  • What True Friendship Means to Me

    Neha

    If I had to choose one quality I value most in a friend, it would be loyalty, but not just loyalty in the traditional sense of standing by you. I mean the loyalty that shows up in quiet moments, in presence, and in staying in touch even when life is tough or complicated. To me,…

  • Faith and Healing

    Yes, I do. I was born and brought up in India, where religion isn’t a set of beliefs; life is religion. I’ve grown up seeing my parents perform pooja, fast, light diyas in the temple space at home, and begin the day with the ring of bells and incense. As a kid, I imitated it…

  • The True Meaning of Having It All

    Neha

    To me, “having it all” does not turn out to be what the world traditionally makes it out to be. It’s not about a million dollars in the bank, an enormous house with gleaming marble floors, or shiny luxury vehicles parked in a row. It’s not about fame, power, or the type of achievement that’s…

  • A Quiet Light That Keeps Shining

    Neha
    in

    When I think about the legacy I hope to leave behind, I don’t think of accomplishments, awards, or belongings. I think about energy, the quiet, soulful mark I leave on the hearts I’ve touched, the lives I brighten, and the minds I stir up gently. I want my legacy to be love, not the big,…

    Honestly, I adore cold weather; it’s my absolute favorite season, hands down. There’s something incredibly comforting and healing about winter that touches me not only physically, but emotionally and psychologically as well. The instant the temperatures start to drop and that cool chill moves into the air, I experience this odd feeling of inner peace……
