History Remembers the Ones Who Begin
Yesterday, I wrote about procrastination—not as laziness, but as a quiet force that keeps us trapped in the ordinary. If you want even a flicker of the extraordinary, you must break that spell.

Procrastination Is Good
At first glance, procrastination seems harmless—almost comforting.It makes you lazy, inefficient, unbothered. You don’t have to put in effort. You don’t have to confront fear, discipline, or the hard edges of ambition. You simply drift. And if you drift long enough, something quiet but dangerous happens: you become ordinary.

Never Bring Logic to a Half-Knowledge Conversation
There’s a simple rule life teaches you—slowly, painfully, and with great clarity: never bring logic to a conversation where the other person is armed only with half-knowledge. Half-knowledge is loud.

But in truth, greatness shows itself most clearly in the quietest way: the ability to remain calm in the midst of chaos.

Short-Term Fixes for Long-Term Problems
One of the quiet problems of life is that we keep reaching for short-term solutions to long-term problems. We patch, distract, suppress, or delay — hoping a quick fix will somehow heal what’s been hurting for years. Short-term solutions feel comforting because they’re easy. They silence the discomfort of the present. But what we avoid Continue reading

How a Random Thought Becomes a Song
Sometimes a thought appears out of nowhere—soft, fleeting, almost forgettable. But when you pause and hold it gently, it transforms. A random feeling becomes a single beautiful line, a line that suddenly carries more weight than you expected. Soon, that line attracts memories, emotions, and rhythm. It finds companions. A stanza forms—not because you forced Continue reading

When a Song Reminds You What Lives On
Yesterday, as I was returning from my professor’s funeral, the world felt unusually heavy. Grief has a strange way of slowing everything down, softening the edges of reality until all you’re left with is a quiet ache. The entire journey back, I sat in silence—still trying to accept the truth that I would never meet Continue reading

A Day That Left Me Quiet
Yesterday was a very sad day—one that left my heart strangely quiet, as if the world had dimmed by a shade. I lost the professor because of whom I am in the field of taxonomy today. He was Prof. Kamal Choudhury, a teacher whose belief in me shaped the direction of my life. It’s hard Continue reading
