    Whenever someone asks me, “What’s a job you would like to do for just one day?”, my mind goes blank for a second. Just one day? That’s such a tiny window of time. How do you even experience a job fully in one day? I suppose if I really had to choose something fleeting and…

  • The Essence of Uniqueness

    That’s such a beautiful and thought-provoking question. From my point of view, as someone who’s deeply immersed in psychology and also quite introspective by nature, I believe what truly makes a person unique is a combination of both inner and outer dimensions, some visible, others beautifully hidden. First and foremost, I think our thought patterns…

    First of all, video calls with my bestie are my personal comedy shows. We live in different states, but distance has only made our gossiping game stronger. We talk about everything under the sun, sometimes meaningful, often complete nonsense, and always ridiculously funny. From analyzing someone’s cryptic Instagram story like it’s a Sherlock Holmes mystery,…

    Well… when I was five, to be brutally honest, I didn’t even know there was something called “future.” Future? What future? I was too busy living in the present like a tiny Buddha, enjoying my roohafza, running around barefoot, watching cartoons, and just being blissfully unaware that one day I’d be expected to answer deep…

    Honestly, there are so many things most people don’t understand, but if I had to pick one, it would be this: karma is very, very real. People often live like whatever they’re doing, whether it’s hurting someone, being dishonest, or taking shortcuts, won’t come back to them. But I truly believe jo karam karoge, wahi…

  • 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. Technology,…

  • 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. Being an introverted girl who avoids conflict like it’s the plague, I always found it easier to say “yes” and deal with the consequences later, consequences that usually meant sacrificing…

  • Why Winter Wins

    Oh, hands down, winter is my absolute favorite! I know some people romanticize summer like it’s this magical season of sun-kissed skin and beachy vibes, but honestly? I spend most of summer looking like I just ran a marathon… while standing still. 😅 I sweat a lot. Like, enough to water a small plant with…

    If you ask me what I wish I could do more every day, honestly, my heart screams content creation and painting. These two things light me up from within, they’re where I truly feel like me. Whether it’s pouring my thoughts into a video script, shaping ideas for a blog, or losing myself in brush…

  • The Quiet Power of Observation

    If I had to pick just one word to describe myself, it would be “observer.” I’ve always been the kind of person who watches and listens more than I speak. Whether it’s people, emotions, patterns in behavior, or even the small unnoticed details of life, I naturally analyze everything. Maybe it comes from my background…
