The Road to Wisdom
We live in an age rich with information.It surrounds us, floods us, and often overwhelms us. Access is no longer the problem—discernment is. Information, by itself, is inert. It tells us what is, but it does not tell us what it means. Almost everyone today carries vast amounts of information, yet that abundance does not Continue reading

Peace Is Not the Absence of Struggle
In my last two blog posts, I may have sounded self-contradictory. One day, I wrote about carrying peace within the heart. The next, I questioned the beauty of perpetual peace. Today, I want to clarify what I truly meant. When I speak of perpetual peace, I imagine a kind of cosmic stillness—an unmoving universe, perfectly Continue reading

Why Perpetual Peace Is Not Enough
Yesterday, I wrote about carrying peace within. Yet, as comforting as that thought is, I realised something equally important—perpetual peace, even if possible, would not be beautiful. Just as a guitar string produces music only when disturbed—until then remaining a silent piece of wood with a few strings attached—we, too, come alive through disturbance. Emotion Continue reading

The Comfort of Small Rituals
We often chase big moments—achievements, breakthroughs, the next milestone. But life, I’ve realised, is mostly made of tiny, repeated acts of care. The little routines that ask for almost nothing yet give us a sense of continuity, grounding, and peace. In a world that moves faster than our thoughts can settle, it’s the smallest rituals Continue reading

The Beautiful Cost of Being Alive
There is a simple, almost brutal equation that life quietly teaches us: Desire is directly proportional to pain. The more deeply we want something, the more intensely we suffer in its pursuit. A small wish brings a small ache. A burning desire brings a fire of restlessness, uncertainty, fear, and longing. And sometimes, it even Continue reading

Day 300: The Quiet Victory of Showing Up
On 26 January 2025, I made a simple New Year’s resolution—one that felt small enough to attempt, yet big enough to change me. I decided to start a blog and publish one post every single day for the next 365 days. Not for fame, not for a record, not to prove anything to the world, Continue reading

The Arithmetic of Living
We often measure our lives in years—birthdays, milestones, anniversaries, the slow turning of the calendar. But lately, I’ve begun to feel that years are a misleading unit. A year can pass without leaving a single imprint on the soul, while a single day of genuine excitement can change the entire course of who we are. Continue reading

The only Joy we can Store
We often use the words pleasure, happiness, and fulfilment as if they belong to the same family of emotions. But they are not siblings. They are more like distant relatives—occasionally meeting, occasionally overlapping, but each carrying a very different temperament. Pleasure: The Flash of Ecstasy Pleasure is intense, intoxicating, and unmistakably temporary. It arrives like Continue reading

On Judgment, Freedom and the Strength of Great Minds
“Great men neither judge people nor let other people’s judgment affect them; whereas, a common man pays too much attention to people’s judgment and depending upon act as a judge or a victim.” – Bhaskar Saikia Over the years, these words have aged like truth—they haven’t changed, but our understanding of them has. The Subtle Continue reading

The Subtle Ways We Insult Ourselves
Years ago, I wrote a line that keeps returning to me whenever life slows down enough for introspection:“When we compromise with our dreams, we insult ourselves.”At that time, I didn’t fully grasp the weight of those words. Today, I understand them a little better. People often talk about insults as something external—something someone says, something Continue reading
