Every Step Counts
People often feel disheartened when results don’t show. It happens to everyone. It happens to me too. There are days when effort feels invisible, when progress refuses to announce itself, when the road feels longer than it did yesterday. In those moments, doubt arrives quietly and asks uncomfortable questions. But I remind myself of this—every Continue reading

Beauty Was Never Meant to Perform
Real beauty never exists to show off. It exists because it has a purpose. A flower does not bloom to be photographed. A mountain does not rise to be admired. A river does not flow to be noticed. They simply are. And in their being, they delight the eyes of the beholder. Beauty that seeks Continue reading

Counting Your Hurts Is Pointless, Remembering the Lessons Is Vital
We are very good at counting our hurts. We remember who wronged us, how many times we were overlooked, how deeply a word cut, how unfair a moment felt. We archive pain carefully, almost reverently, as if one day it will testify on our behalf and prove that we were right to feel broken. But Continue reading

Why I Write Songs
People often ask me why I write songs. The honest answer is—I don’t. At least, not in the way most people imagine. I write poetry. I write feelings. I write moments, pauses, unsaid things. I write what lingers after a thought has passed and what remains when noise settles. Poetry has always been my first Continue reading

Two Dream Lists, One Life
We often speak of dreams as if they must belong to a single list. As if choosing one path means abandoning another. Over time, I’ve realised that this is neither honest nor kind—to ourselves or to the lives we are trying to live. I believe we all carry two kinds of dream lists within us. Continue reading

On Staying, On Listening: A Year-end reflection
The end of the year often arrives with noise—lists, resolutions, urgency dressed up as hope. I’ve learned, slowly, that I don’t belong to that noise. Not everything meaningful enters our lives loudly. Some things arrive the way evening does—without announcement, without spectacle—only a gradual softening of light. I move slowly through my days now. Not Continue reading

Whispers of Evening
Yesterday evening, I returned to my hill station after an overnight stay in another city for work. The city had its own rhythm—quietly wrapped in fog and dust, the sun rarely making an appearance. But arriving back in the hills by evening felt like a blessing. As I stepped into the familiarity of home, nature Continue reading

New Year, New Resolution
Last year, as a New Year resolution, I made a promise to myself: I would start a blog site and post one blog every single day for 365 days. The blog went live on 27 January 2025.Today, I’m writing post number 335. So—did that resolution help me? Of course it did. But perhaps not in Continue reading

Shedding Leaves: Letting Go for Growth
Trees shed leaves in winter not as a loss but as preparation. Each falling leaf represents a choice: release what is no longer needed to conserve energy for future growth. This simple act carries a profound lesson for humans. We too carry unnecessary weight—old habits, toxic routines, unresolved fears, and limiting beliefs. Winter is a Continue reading

Winter is not a pause. It is a plan.
Every winter, nature teaches us something profound—without speeches, without urgency, without noise. Animals don’t try to flourish in winter. They don’t chase abundance or expansion. They retreat. They hibernate. They slow their breathing, conserve energy, and focus on one essential goal: survival. In the harsh cold, survival itself is success. This isn’t weakness. It’s intelligence.
