Love, reflection and society

Weekend are similar to prussian cats, they sleep for maximum hours and crawl around the kitchen searching for rich, tasty food. On the contrary, the home of Anamika and Yogesh remained warm, vibrant and full of life. Yogesh, karthik, Siddharth and Manoj are brothers from different mothers who share a beautiful bond more than friendship and a little extra than family. They are closely knit and…

The senses knew the souls

have u ever fallen in love with a soul whose legs you kissed just because mother earth carried him all the way to you to sweep your heart magically like the warm breeze before the summer’s first rain, she got in touch with him even before thier bodies engaged in communication, slowly from there their bodies communicated, sometimes there eyes met, sometimes there hands shook, sometimes there…

My 2020:)

As we come to an end of a decade, I wanna do my ritual of reflecting, introspecting 2020 consciously. I welcomed 2020 with loads of love and vision. I went offline in the month of December itself to slow down and identify myself as a person. I was in my own phase of growing and evolving, that’s when the seed of my dream started nourishing along with my best friend remembering Abdul kalam’s sir…

Humanity and Photography!

Today is World Photography day and World humanitarian day. I am someone who believes that nature and we (humans) co-exist.

Photography – be it coloured or black and white its special as it holds a lot of memories attached to it. Watching a still image lets us time travel. Being a 90s kid owning a roll camera was a dream to me. Only while I go for excursions or trips I am allowed to borrow the…

Minimalism

Minimalism

Decluttering Zero waste lifestyle

All these words are hastags used popularly on social media networks but if we go back to our ancestors roots all these practices were applied beautifully.

Before I explain what is minimalism, how I got introduced to it and how to go about it, let me tell you a story that my dearest friend shared with me along with few anecdotes added from my…

Movies, web series and short films

A 90s kid knows the joy of watching short films played on YouTube and short film competitions taking place every now and then in various TV platforms, atleast to me.

Though CD, DVD and cassettes played an enormous role in entertaining the people – behind the scenes is less spoken about. Behind every movie, web series and short films more than ‘n’ people work/sweat out to bring the explicit…

Handmade is happiness

Awaiting for the handwritten letters and greeting cards during festivals is a nostalgic feeling and many do it even now!

During this pandemic situation as a ray of hope my dearest friend Sarumati and her friends have began an initiative named #Handwritten love where one can send handwritten letters to their beloved ones or oneself virtually along with portraits, doodles and illustrations on…

Financial Independence

Karthik bala is my mentor, a person whom I respect next to my daddy, a family member, friend, RJ/VJ, a crime writer and a beautiful soul I know since five years.

Today we are celebrating our 73rd Independence Day. Though I am happy about the independence, social issues we face as a country based on caste, religion, politics irks my heart. I am doing my part to become aware of it and give…

Art Matters – Express it beautifully

Art Matters – Express it beautifully

When words fail I express my reflections in art. I am not a professional though but I love drawing/illustrating/doodling using many art materials.

At school I haven’t got any help for any of my science drawings and that’s how I realized I am more of a right brain.

While pursuing my engineering it was more of circuits – boxes and labelling! Then, work followed by my journalism course –…

My love for elephants and libraries!

Today is World Elephant day and National Library day. Both are my favorite for ‘n’ reasons!

I will tell you my love for elephant today and libraries on some other day maybe as a separate post!

My dad is a nature lover and by DNA I too inherited it from him. The love he has got for plants and animals is immense. His happiness lies in little things such as a new leaf shooting up from a seed…

Same Soul, Many Bodies

Same Soul, Many Bodies

Same soul, Many bodies is non-fiction book written by Dr Brian Weiss. I saw this book in a movie named Anegan where Dhanush and Amyra meet in mutiple lives to unite together as soulmates.

I firmly believe that we meet every people for a reason and if someone is very special to us we might have a connection with them either in our past or future lives. This thought came to me when my dad and a…

Self Love!

To me, Self love is about embracing my imperfections and accepting myself as how I am and evolving every single day.

 In simple words ‘Self love is I prioritize taking care of myself” – as quoted by Lakshmi Dhevi.  

Many assume self love is being selfish which is not true.

For example: If you’re having a headache and your beloved one invites you for a movie. You like your friend but…
