Do you have a few things you keep to yourself? Objects, thoughts or emotions. They're yours and no one else's, you rarely talk about them because sharing them is tainting them. I have some things like this and I know for certain that others in my life do too. People who are not private, become… Continue reading Some things are ‘just for me’

Staring at the sky
Have you ever laid on the grass, the concrete or your terrace and looked at the sky? Have you left that overwhelming sense of peace washing over you as you watch the clouds float, the colours changing and the lights fading? It's absolutely beautiful, wondrous, mesmerizing even. It's meditative. Nothing else matters in those moments.… Continue reading Staring at the sky
Forgetting someone
Have you ever forgotten someone? It's quite beautiful, really. Quite heartbreaking, yet beautiful nonetheless. Take a moment and think about about someone you love who is no longer with you either due to circumstance or death. Do this with me. Once you're done reading this blog, I want you to close your eyes for a… Continue reading Forgetting someone
A strange calling
Have you ever experienced those moments when everything around you suddenly stills, or moves in slow-motion, and the only thing, the only person that is moving at normal speed is you. In those moments, nothing on the outside matters, but on the inside, you can hear something calling your name. It's a little distant at… Continue reading A strange calling
Power in a conversation
Just a few minutes ago, I was having a conversation with my internship/work supervisor. We were talking about a feedback and pitch call for potential clients. She said something that really hit me. She said, always be conscious of the power you hold in a conversation. Ensure you have that power and you're not simply… Continue reading Power in a conversation
Some things never go away

I was around 13 years old when I first did it, I was really sad about something, but I just can't remember what. By the time I turned 17, it was a terrible dependency. I… Continue reading Some things never go away
The notion of being ‘good enough’
I have to make a strange admission - throughout my life, I have been afraid of not being good enough. Not being good enough at academics, at dance, at swimming, at reading 'smart' books and so on. I've striven to be absolutely perfect in every single thing that I have done and while I end… Continue reading The notion of being ‘good enough’
Pain is inevitable
Pain is inevitable, that much I have learnt is true. It's what we make of the pain that we undergo that defines us. I truly believe that. I used to be the kind of person who just festered in their pain. I'd feel hopeless and rather helpless most times and it would be so terrible… Continue reading Pain is inevitable
The eye of the storm
Does anyone else ever get this feeling that absolutely engulfs you. It tells you to write, draw, paint, create. It fills you up and you feel like a cup about to overflow. It's a little overwhelming, no doubt; yet the weight of that feeling on your chest is something you welcome. For me, the feeling… Continue reading The eye of the storm
Flux
Human beings are always evolving, constantly in a state of flux in tandem with the world around them. Nevertheless, there are some things that remain the same - the most inert parts of our personalities, belief systems and habits. Maybe it's because of genetics, maybe because we were conditioned to be a particular way and… Continue reading Flux
