I pick up my phone to check the time, but put it down say 22 minutes later. I had laughed twice, maybe, learnt nothing (usually), and still did not know what the time is.If you are reading this and smiling, then you have done it too.We keep saying the kids these days can't focus. Have you looked at us? The kids at least are honest about it. We adults have a list of genuine excuses to justify it, o...
Imagine having the life that people spend years chasing. Two master’s degrees. A successful corporate career. A big house. A long marriage. Two children. Two dogs. Two cars. A beautiful yard. Parties. Comfort. Stability. From the outside, there is very little to complain about.Now imagine walking away from it.That is where Leena Palav’s UnMoored begins to become interesting.Because this is not rea...
First off, I’m deeply grateful to my parents and good fortune for being born healthy, there is zero credit to me for that. I see it as my duty to remind myself—and the people I care about—to stay fit and happy. I say “I take zero credit for being born healthy, but I’m 100% responsible if I die unfit”I’m not a certified trainer or dietitian yet, but after 30 years of lifting dumbbells, jumping rope...
There are people who look lonely.And then there are people who have become so good at living alone that nobody thinks to ask if they are lonely.Meera is one of them.At fifty, she has a job. A routine. A home. A life that, from the outside, seems perfectly manageable.She wakes up. Goes to work. Comes back. Follows her routines.Nothing is falling apart.Except perhaps Meera herself.That is where Sind...
Have you ever wondered why so many of our natural tendencies feel... wrong for us?We crave more sugar than we need.We binge-watch shows instead of moving our bodies.We scroll endlessly but struggle to sit and read a book.At first glance, it seems like human instincts are broken. Other animals follow their instincts, live in sync with nature, and evolve. We, on the other hand, seem to be working ag...
Hi everyone! I’m Mamta Singh, and I am currently pursuing my MA in Yogashatra. As I dig deep into the profound philosophy behind this ancient science, I am uncovering insights that go far beyond physical flexibility. I find these teachings so life-changing that I feel compelled to share them with you to help you on your own journey of self-growth and development.When most people think of yoga, the...
Every conversation about improving our lives usually begins in the wrong place. We talk about better habits, stronger discipline, improved productivity, or greater motivation. Rarely do we begin with the organ that makes every one of those things possible. The Brain Always Wins asks us to reverse that order. Before changing our behaviour, it argues, we should understand the brain that creates it.T...
Every football match ends with a scoreline. Life rarely does. We remember the trophy, the missed penalty, the winning goal, but the conversations that never happened, the sacrifices made quietly at home, and the fears carried long after the stadium empties never find their way onto the scoreboard. That is the territory Devendra Garware chooses to explore in Shadows & Goals. Football gives the stor...
Some books arrive with arguments. Others arrive with answers. Letters from Your Therapist: On Love and Loss arrives with something far less common: permission. Permission to admit that grief does not always follow bereavement, that love can exist alongside resentment, and that healing is often less dramatic than the stories we tell about it. In a culture where emotional endurance is frequently mis...
People often say they are “overthinking” when what they are really doing is conducting invisible investigations into ordinary moments. A delayed reply becomes evidence. A brief silence becomes a verdict. A neutral expression becomes a story. Somewhere along the way, the mind stops observing reality and begins prosecuting itself.That is the quiet territory Danny Dawson explores in Don’t Let Everyth...
