Have you ever paused in the middle of a chaotic day and just felt something crack open inside you—quietly, without drama, but deeply? That’s what reading Renewal April Mantras by Dr. Geetha Kariappa felt like for me. It’s not a book that rushes in with grandeur or promises you easy answers. It sits with you, like a trusted friend, and whispers truths you didn’t even know you needed to hear.Dr. Gee...
Have you ever read a book that feels like it’s not just telling a story but opening your eyes to a world you’ve never really considered? Bedaawa by Tarun Bhatnagar does exactly that. It’s one of those books that lingers with you long after you turn the last page, making you rethink not just the plot, but the deeper truths of love, religion, and human connection. In a world where complex narratives...
Just when I was thinking to write something related to humanity, today I read the news where I went numb I did not know how to react on it.THE TERROR ATTACK AT J&K.Where are we leading to? Why are we judged on the basis of the language we speak?Why are discriminated on the basis of our caste and religion?Have we lost humanity? Or have we forgotten we are born Humans?Every other day, there is some ...
You ask what good is this life.Aimless days embraced with open arms, A piece of paper decides a life's plan.Blinders preferred, mediocrity sought,Creativity dictated, clamping thoughts.You ask what good is this life.The suffocated smile and pretend to breathe,Warriors retreat and swords are sheathed.Social acceptance - the primary concern,A moment's hesitation - a lifetime to yearn.You ask what go...
I still remember the exact moment I stumbled upon the quote: “If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.”It stopped me in my tracks. I was standing in a library aisle, flipping through pages like I always do, when these words hit me right between the eyes. I wasn’t even looking for a book on war strategy — but this? This felt personal. It felt like ...
The Space Between Us | Napowrimo2025 | Day 3A Stone of HopeThe mountain stands like an old sorrow,heavy, unmoving, its spine carved from forgotten voices.It has been here forever—watching, waiting,pressing down on dreams until they fold into silence.Every stone is a name, a loss,a moment someone gave up.The air is thick with it,the weight of things left unsaid.And then—something shifts.Small, almo...
The Nakshatras in Indian lore,\r\nDid the Moon very much adore,\r\nEach night he did spend,\r\nwith a Nakshatra in her abode.\r\n\r\nThe lore was spun by human mind,\r\nAnd you know we are not very kind. \r\nWe now know thanks to modern science,\r\nThe Moon's orbit went nowhere close.\r\n\r\nThe Nakshastras did not know,\r\nEach other or that we called them so,\r\nThey were far away in space and t...
Listen to the audio version hereरोज़गार का शाम पर पहरा हैं,दोपहर के बाद सीधा अंधेरा हैं।न सूरज की धूप, न पत्तों की सरसराहट,बस व्यस्त व्यक्तिओं की एक सामूहिक घबराहट।कौन रखेगा तेरी जीत हार का लेखा-जोखा,क्या प्रसारण से ही बनता हैं तेरा जीवन अनोखा?देख प्रशंसक खुद प्रशंसा बटोर रहे हैं,जिनसे भिख मांग रहा हैं, वो खुद तेरा कटोरा टटोल रहे हैं।दौड़ थी अंधी, भीड़ थी बहरी,Degree का नकाब, बिकता भरी दोपहरी |लगा...
You talk behind their backs all day, but in front, you smile and sway. Why do you act, why pretend? “Everybody does it! That’s the way”.Water flows, you let it waste. Don’t you see the damage it causes? Why ignore it, why don't you care? \Oh come on, everybody does it! It’s just everywhere”.“You have your period? Sit outside today, while others pra...
I used to think happiness was something you find. Like a treasure buried deep in the sand, or a bright light waiting at the end of a long tunnel. I thought it lived in the things I could touch— in the things I could buy, or the people who told me I was enough. I chased it in the applause, the compliments, the next achievement that promised to fill me up. But no matter how far I ran, it always felt...
