Once, a guy I dated asked me, "Why are you so loving? For you, it’s like your partner is the best, without fault." And I said to him, almost without thinking, "Isn’t that how it’s supposed to be?" Love, to me, has always felt like the most natural thing in the world, an offering, a surrender, a way of seeing people as they truly are. But in that moment, I realised something profound: genuine love is rare, not because people don’t want it, but because they’ve forgotten how to give and receive it fully. That realization stayed with me. I began to see how many people carry wounds from childhood, from relationships, from the world itself, wounds that make them cautious, skeptical, guarded. Not everyone grows up in a home where love is expressed freely, where warmth is a given. Some have never known what it means to be held without reason, to be accepted without conditions. And so, they hesitate, they measure, they hold back, afraid to give because they have learned that...

I get a toffee for my daughter, and for her, it’s the most magical surprise. Her eyes light up, she giggles, and wraps her tiny arms around me in a hug that speaks volumes. There is wonder in the way she finds her missing eraser and laughs as if it were a grand adventure. She holds a tiny vegetable bug fearlessly, letting it walk on her finger, while I take a step back.  Before leaving for school, she bends down to give the plants a goodbye kiss, and when a tiny bud appears, she celebrates as if she had whispered life into existence. I see her chatting with our beta fish, asking if he feels lonely and if he wants to play. She climbs up the window, eyes shining, peering at the pigeon eggs, excitedly narrating their journey from shell to sky. She finds a simple rock on the sidewalk and proclaims it the most unique treasure she's ever seen. Children are already in the dance of life, twirling, skipping, and embracing the beauty of the ordinary. Their hearts beat in rhythm with the univ...

We say we want the truth, but do we? When we ask someone to tell us the truth, we are only hearing their version—what they’ve seen, how they’ve felt, the way they’ve processed reality through their own mind. And yet, we argue over it, as if truth were something solid, something universal. But it’s not. It never has been. The Illusion of Reality Think about a conversation—any conversation. Two people sit across from each other, talking, listening, but are they really hearing the same thing? No two people see the world the same way. One sees chaos where the other sees opportunity. One hears criticism where another hears care. Every exchange is a reflection of the speaker’s mind, their experiences, their past. So are we ever really connecting? Or are we just syncing up with someone’s personal brand of imagination? We don’t find people we understand—we find people whose illusions match ours. Relationships, friendships, even fleeting connections happen not because we’ve discovered some gran...

Mondays. The day that often feels like a reluctant return to reality after the weekend’s gentle embrace. The to-do lists loom, the responsibilities beckon, and that cozy, lazy energy of Sunday seems impossible to shake. But what if there was a simple, soul-enriching way to shift your energy and set the tone for the week? Enter  Meditation in Motion —a practice that transforms an everyday routine into a powerful mindfulness ritual. For those who feel drawn to something larger than ourselves—the Creator, the Universe, the magic of manifestation—but find traditional meditation a bit daunting, this is for you. Maybe you’ve heard of the wonders of sitting still in a lotus position, breathing deeply, and finding inner peace. But who said that stillness is the only way to meditate? If life’s hustle gets the best of you, especially on a Monday, let’s bring meditation into action. Five Minutes of Mindful Gratitude—In the Shower Yes, in the shower! That daily ritual of rinsing away sleepines...

Today, I did something brave. A friend’s behavior made me uncomfortable. It wasn’t something dramatic—just one of those moments that doesn’t sit right, but you can’t quite put your finger on why. I tried to push it to the back of my mind, but it kept resurfacing, dragging along a mess of weird thoughts and uneasy feelings. I did all the "right" things—meditated, cleansed my energy, tried to let it go. But nope, it kept nudging at me like an untied shoelace you can’t ignore. I could have ranted to my husband or vented to another friend. Easy choice, right? Just let it all out, get some validation, and feel momentarily better. But deep down, I knew that would only fan the fire. So instead, I did something different. I picked up the phone and called my friend. I told her, “Hey, something doesn’t feel right about what happened. I don’t know if I’m overthinking it, and maybe I’m being silly, but I’d rather talk to you directly than sit with this feeling.” And just like that, somet...

As we grow up, we learn independence. We learn to overcome emotions, to drill strength and vitality into our system. We are taught to shut off any thought or feeling that drives volatile emotions or expectations because we must get on with life, work, and fulfill our goals. In doing so, we often lose the ability to notice the beauty of existence itself—the way a tiny bird chirps at the window, the fleeting bloom of a flower, or the radiant smile of a child when given a goodbye hug before work. We have consumed our minds with planning, scheduling, and to-do lists. Our bodies have adapted to the notion that if we are not constantly doing something deemed "productive," then we are wasting time. Productivity, a term we have redefined to mean only external results, has become a relentless corporate world in our heads. When tension rises, we long to halt everything, to take a break, to calm our minds. Yet, even when we find that rare moment to pause—perhaps by falling into our part...

Have you ever craved love so deeply that it ached inside you? Or longed for appreciation, hoping someone would finally see you for all that you are? We chase these things, reaching out with open hands, waiting for them to fall into our palms like gifts from the universe. But life doesn’t work that way. What we desire, we must first become. If you want love, give love. If you wish to be appreciated, shower appreciation onto others. If you want to be cared for, nurture someone with your heart wide open—not just in grand gestures, but in the small, quiet ways that truly matter. If you want to be trusted, be a steady presence. If you want romance, embody warmth, softness, and kindness. Life is not a list of transactions. It’s a rhythm, an energy, a cycle that loops back to you. The more you give, the more you create a world that reflects that same energy. You are not waiting for something outside of you; you are the starting point. Noticing the Little Things We get lost in the chase, don’t...
