Early mornings, asanas and 'unfit' body

Pune, May 2024, The morning gotta be better…hazy, alarm tinkling atop the ear, rain outburst and zooming to my classes. For people knowing me, I abhor waking up at 6 a.m! Yet! I did, thrice a week for power-packed yoga and meditation during the past two months and the rest of the days, setting for the 10.15 a.m batch. Quite a shocker, I know! Yoga is icing on the cake, lending perspective…

Forgetten tales...a 'genie' bottle lost

There is something eerily strange happening with me nowadays.

I have quite some stats to boast of, lost three water bottles and a track pants in the same location, the rickshaw, during the past six months. And, ain’t going…

Celebrating Love language

I came across the term, Love Language, on social media multiple fold, yet never paused to learn or reflect on what the term trickles to, the meaning and or motive behind it. It was only when I enrolled for a group workshop on emotional wellness for a month that our coach discussed the term and encouraged us to share our views. It was back in 2022. First, she spoke about the equation with her…

International Women Day: My Heart is Pink

We need an International Women’s Day to celebrate every single one of her achievements and the strength she lends to every single one of us, a reminder of her countless achievements, and individuality, a reminder to the patriarchal, misogynist, and sexist society that SHE cannot be called the weaker SEX. She is the stronger SEX. A call not to ascribe a label to HER and respect her choice and…

Fiction: The Black Umbrella

This misty morning, a rampage unleashed the city, jutting across from right, left, and centre in a circular angle with wind chiming violently, huge tree trunks with scattered branches piling on the tarred road jostling for space, covering cars parked on the road to spread wide like umbrellas flip-flopping to cover every nook and corner. Tiny drops of rain slowly turned into rivulet and sea storms…

Jamming with Journaling

I took to journaling this week after eons, precisely a year. It felt therapeutic. I have been longing to jot in an odd 10-year-old notebook with blank pages unfurling and staring at me. Journaling from what I garner from friends and well-versed people on social media is something very personal that helps us pour out and vent out, be it swear words, deep angst, or shitty stuff to let out. Once, I…

Have I become...?

A gamut of contradictions, moods and layers, have I become, what i feared? a pale shadow, the insides of me, reflecting on the mirror, wondering on joy eluding me, past reflecting the present, a tad too much of self consciousness, impacting my individuality, my relations with near and dear ones, getting on with a sense of uncertain oddity, sometimes life takes a toll, emotionally…
