Let the Arranged Marriage Bashing Begin!

In the time span of only two days, I saw two posts on the walls of my friends that mocks arranged marriage. Generally, I get the humor, but these posts did not make me laugh. Probably, the mockery got to my ego. Who knows? One post said, “Jinka koi nahi hota uski arranged marriage hoti…

Are you weak? #FridayReflections

In the recent past, I have read one book and watched a movie, both of which have one common beginning; however, the reactions of the leading characters to this beginning are worlds apart. In the movie, a husband loses his wife and kid by the hands of a bank robber. That bank robber was running…

Fear of Losing Love! #FridayReflections

Yesterday, I had a breakthrough with my sister. She doesn’t reveal her true emotions very easily, and to get her to pour out her feelings and fear has never been an easy task. Yesterday, however, things were a little different. Let me recall the events and put these down here for the readers. I am…

99 Things that Make Me Feel Alive! #FridayReflections

I am a magnet for work. When I take a break from my office, I think that I would actually “take a break,” but I end up taking up several assignments of my own to pass the time. Before you know it, I am up to my ears buried in these DIY projects. Anyways, this…

A Lost Dream of a Fearless Walk!

I have a dream that has been with me for a long time, now. Every night when I am lost deep in my sleep, I see myself walking, freely and fearlessly, in the woods, on the roads, next to a river (even in my dream, I don’t know how to swim), and on the beach…

Seeking Help takes Courage!

” If I ask for help to a psychiatrist, and someone gets to know about it, then people will think I’m crazy.” This has been a common mentality. This makes me wonder why are we afraid to seek help on the account of others. When we are falling down then who is there to lift…

What Legacy should I leave?

The prompt of the day, legacy, is a head scratcher for me. Not to sound too pompous, but I pride myself in believing that I have numerous virtues. Nevertheless, I do not think I have many virtues which are worth leaving behind as a legacy to the future generations to follow. I believe that I…

If only, we could learn to celebrate the contrast!

When I read the prompt of the day, contrast, the first idea that struck in my head was that God loves “contrast.” The first instance is the color of the day and the night. If he had preferred a monotonous world, then he would have painted the canvas of the universe in only one color….

Live Life “Morrie” Way!

I came across a book called tuesdays with Morrie — thanks to my teammate Anurag — which modified my outlook towards life. I am writing this article to share the life lessons, which Mitch Albom, the author, has mentioned in the book. These are the lessons, which he received from his teacher, Morrie.  One may think,”What is so…
