She embraces the night
In solitude…She discovered herself…Night was her friend…As the sun sets, she awaits..Awaits for the whole world to sink into deep sleep…That’s when she can embrace her true self..Until then, she is a highly functional, brave and ambitious woman..Her smile fades away,And her tears, awaiting at the brim of her soul..Finds its way out…Letting her unfold all those emotions,She felt deep within…This…

Letter to your Soul
Dear Soul, Let me begin with saying, to be precise acknowledging how strong you are. You have been on this journey ever since you were born…and i know you are keeping on it, in the best way you can. And I am sure, you might be seeing tiny little wins, which might not be big enough for the world around you….but to you, it matters. Remember to celebrate it, you are worth it. I know you might be…

Solitude .....I crave
I am selfish at times…Being a mom, it doesn’t last long…Probably being me, it doesn’t last long…Every time I am alone, I crave a little more…It’s not because I do not enjoy the company of others besides me…It’s just that I love my company more than anyone.I crave those extra minutes of solitude I get in the early morning…those minutes, when it’s just me, my thoughts and the music,where the world…

You were seeded not caged
At some point in life…We feel like we are being pushed underground…Deep onto the ground…That we see nothing but just darkness…It becomes hard…Every time you try to push your way out…You are just going deep down…Nothing seems right…And at one point…You tend to give up…And start to adapt to that space,Where you were pushed into…Suddenly you see some changes in you..You wonder why you are rooted in…

Tend your garden
Roots dried..Leaves falling away…..It does not fall yet..It was time to bloom…Yet i see you are fading away eventually…Like the life within you is pulled away.I watered you occasionally… didn’t I?..My questions were answered with a smile…A smile that weighed tons…And i stood helpless..Even when i knew,All i needed to do was tend the garden well enough…I spent more time nurturing other plants…That…

The wait
Waiting….A feeling that seems endless…Unable to move on.It’s like I am stuck there…Waiting for that journey to propel…Something i started with someone,Who was taken away by the wind…I travelled so far, that now i am unable to return…But again, I can’t move on,Since the journey seems unending…The gruelling journey into my mind…It kept me going…But i know that life moved on…And i am stuck there…Am…

Unsettling sorrows
I am right here…Beside you,Whispered my heart to his…Listening to all your pain….Far but near..Unable to hold you closer…But, here i am to console you….Your voice echoes in my heart..Like a raging wave to the shore…Silenced by the shore…As it never got the opportunity,To thrash on the rock..All it could gather was the tiny stones..That just got washed away to halfway….Nothing left unturned nor…

The introverted mind
Here am i,Standing there…On the verge of  finding my true self,It is just a step away…But there i am,Standing numbUnable to moveUnable to express myself….Words stuck in my throat…Waiting to be called out.Awaiting to express the deepest desires…Yet, i remained silent….I wished i could step out of this…Enjoy what i longed for years…But something held me back…And what was it…Ah! There you are,The…

Pause
As we sit and try to grab the time in our tiny fist…Just to grab them and soak in it…It slips by…A sudden gush of anxiety rushes within us…What if we lose something else…We forget for a second that we have it ….the power of now…We wanna hunt down the more…the impossible ones…And all we do is let go of what we have now…It seems tiring,The whole world pushes us to do things,Where we might not even…

Alone, Not Lonely: Embracing the Power of Self-Connection
​Being alone and feeling lonely are two different aspects- not something that everyone can understand or relate to. Often, people get confused about the idea of spending time alone—some call it a lonely moment, and some take it as alone time. It all depends on perspectives.Being a mom, working woman, managing my household, kids and even my interests – it is being a juggle all along … sometimes i…

To say or not to say
I am not sure if saying is important or choosing not to say it is important. Again it all depends on your situation. Words can be hurtful; expecting every other idiot you face to understand your point of view is an unimaginable aspect. All you can do is hold your thoughts and let the world assume whatever nonsense they want…..think out loud,… doesn’t really harm you… To be honest, it doesn’t…Your…

Setting boundaries isn’t pushing someone away—it’s making space for healthier connection. You can love fully and still need room to breathe.

The tethered soul
Fading,feeling unconscious and lost;unknown emotions stirring my mind;thoughts fading in and out, uncontrollably;words waiting to spread out;unable to spread the wings, under the walls unseen;breathing becomes uneven;yet the soul stands still;like nothing has ever happened;so calm and enduring- from the outside;but with the absurdest storm within;thrashing every bit of uneven thoughts that lay…

Mind Over Mirror: How Mental Health and Body Image Are Linked
Back in the early years, yea a millennial like me can relate, where social media was null,  TV and movies, played a vital role in creating a stigma in our mind. I remember looking at Urmila in Rangeela, or Raveena Tandon in “tu cheez badi hai mast mast”, and many more. I was obsessed with the thought that beauty means “that”.   Being an overly healthier body, I did have lots of body shaming in…

When Your Child Teaches You Something Profound
​I believe that we are surrounded by good and bad teachers. I am not pointing to the so-called “hi-fi degrees” required to be one. To be honest, all my life,  I have grown among teachers, thanks to my mom, who is a teacher, was a teacher and forever a teacher. I am not speaking about the bookish things we learned in life. So far, I hardly remember what or how to add fractions. As soon as my kid…

Happiness is not defined by external forces
Your future does not define your happiness all the time.We always focus on what might come next to enjoy or to be happy. I  will be happy when i get a new job. I will be happy when i lose weight.  You need to realize that your happiness does not depend on your future but on your present.Shut your eyes, and soak in the moment.Ask yourself, are u happy?You may not be content, or you may be on a…

Navigating the Journey of Parenting Teens
It’s never easy to be a mother. Even though the bliss of being a mom is more significant than any other joy I have ever cherished. The pain, of being your child’s boring friend, the solitude that comes with the company of your child, with whom you had giggled and muffled a lot more than she remembers, is indeed the hardest.Being the older child, I know the difficulties that I have gone through,…
