A Personal Loss: Remembering Zubeen Garg
In 2011, when Steve Jobs passed away, I couldn’t sleep the whole night. His life and work had inspired me so deeply that his death felt like a personal loss, even though I had never met him. Now, with the news of Zubeen Garg’s passing, I find myself feeling the same way. Restless, shaken, carrying Continue reading

Already Naked: The Courage to Follow Your Heart
We spend so much of our lives hesitating—worried about failure, about what others will think, about what we might lose if things don’t work out. Careers, relationships, opportunities—we treat them as fragile possessions to protect rather than as doors waiting to be opened. But pause for a moment and consider this: in the grand scheme Continue reading

If You Are Alive, Make It Count
Life doesn’t come with instructions. It comes with moments—some beautiful, some brutal, some unbearably ordinary. What you do with those moments decides whether your story echoes or fades. Think of it this way: And above all—If you are alive, make it count. Because one day, there will be no song left to sing, no battles Continue reading

Life is Not Fair, Why Are You Trying to Play It Fair
We grow up hearing the golden rule: play fair, be kind, follow the rules, and life will reward you. But the truth we discover as we step into the world is often harsher—life is not fair.

If you look back through history, you’ll notice something striking: the names we remember are not those who gave up. History doesn’t talk about quitters.

Winners, Losers and the Voices of Envy

The Nature of Envy Envy often disguises itself as criticism. When someone achieves something, instead of celebrating them, people sometimes question, dismiss, or undermine their effort. It’s easier Continue reading

Three Hobbies for a Balanced Life
Life feels a little fuller when we make time for hobbies. They’re not just ways to pass the hours—they’re investments in ourselves. A good hobby can build skills, bring joy, or even transform into something bigger. To keep things balanced, I’ve found it helpful to think of hobbies in three categories: one that helps you Continue reading

Beyond the Finish Line
In yesterday’s blog, I wrote that there is no finish line. But perhaps that isn’t entirely true. There is a finish line. It is the ultimate truth—death—a certainty that awaits every living being. Yet, the real question is: what do we do before we reach that line? How do we make our lives echo beyond Continue reading

There is No Finish Line
We often think of life as a race—one where we must run faster, work harder, and reach some ultimate point of success or fulfillment. Society teaches us to chase after milestones: finishing school, getting a job, buying a home, raising a family, and eventually retiring with the satisfaction of “having made it.” But if you Continue reading
