    Is there such a thing as a ‘friend for life’..? A lot of religions of the world say things come and go. But a part of us wants to believe at least some things will last for at least one lifetime.

  • Finding Home
    Kisi ko ghar se nikalte hi mil gayi manzil, koi hamare tarah umr bhar Safar me raha - Some found their destination right outside their homes, while some others, like me, kept looking all their lives.

  • Relocating across continents at 17 vs 26
    I relocated from India to the US at 17. Now at 26 I’m about to move to another continent altogether.

  • The Four Ashrams of Life - Hinduism

    A section of Hindu philosophy divides life in 4 stages (or Asharams) - Brahmacharya (Disciple), Grihastha (Householder), Vanprastha (Forest Dweller) and Sanyasa (Renunciation). This was supposed to be the ideal life cycle of a man as he transversed through the material realm while keeping 'Dharma' and 'Moksha' (ultimate liberation from the cycles of birth and death) at the center of it. It is a very fascinating contrast to our lives today, and one, that I thought definitely deserved a discussion.

  • Who Decides What You Do With Your pain?

    (P.S. Continued prayers for Afghanistan, as the world already seems to have moved on to the next piece of sensational news.)
