I've been losing my footing. It's like someone or something has loosened up the hardened clay around my root system. Like some unseen force of nature is trying to uproot me. Take me out of my comfort zone and catapult me into the unknown. And I most definitely don't like it. I haven't moved much … Continue reading Of Anchors and Roots
Guest Blog – My First Volunteering Event at Dream a Dream (by Dinesh Damodaran)
Sometimes I think about the life I’m living I seem to take more than I’m giving More vengeful than forgiving More reluctant than willing Cynical without believing Need to start emptying the bad So the goodness can start filling The opposite of death is not life but birth, And we make that journey to figure … Continue reading Guest Blog – My First Volunteering Event at Dream a Dream (by Dinesh Damodaran)
The Happiness Prescription
As humans we seem to be constantly seeking something. A better job, a better relationship, better education, a better house and ultimately a better life. But it's really not the job, relationship etc. that we are yearning for. It's happiness. We think that the job or relationship will make us happy. And most of our … Continue reading The Happiness Prescription
Vegan or Vegetarian?
I turned vegetarian when I was 16. I saw a goat being slaughtered on television. I saw chickens with their feet tied to the handlebars of bicycles, their beaks grazing the wheels. My taste buds kinda died that day. I lost my taste for mutton and chicken and even seafood. I went a bit extreme … Continue reading Vegan or Vegetarian?
The Road Less Taken…
It has been hard for me to follow my dreams because they did not match the dreams others had for me. I know that is a very disempowering notion but when you are child in a adults-know-best world that's how it is. They wanted me to be a doctor and I really liked the idea until … Continue reading The Road Less Taken…

The United Nations of the World
This post was meant to be on segregation and casteism and all the ugly covers we use to judge and divide us.

Instead I have taken just the good points from it with … Continue reading The United Nations of the World
Return to Innocence…
It's September already and we are fast approaching the end of the year and some think the end of the world. Now enough has been said about the apocalypse and the Mayan calendar and aliens annihilating our earth. So I will not delve into that. By the looks of it we sure seem to be … Continue reading Return to Innocence…
Taming Your Mind, the Monkey
I did not go out seeking mind control. But was forced to do it after a severe bout of depression. I simply had to control the negative feelings that kept rising up every now and then. So powerful that they almost smothered me. I was afraid that if my predominantly negatively charged brain was given … Continue reading Taming Your Mind, the Monkey
What Do You Do With Your Sweet Bundles of Joy?
Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself. They came through you but not from you and though they are with you yet they belong not to you. - Khalil Gibran I'll be the first one to admit that I am not the world's best parent … Continue reading What Do You Do With Your Sweet Bundles of Joy?
