    Are you a victim of Gaslighting – Known on Mental Health Day

    October 10, 2017

    Curiosity, awareness, and empathy are the vital factors for survival, not just for the individuals but for others too. Curiosity helps to have a mind that is open for learning, the space for why. Knowing our thoughts can be liberating; Awareness comes about after curiosity; wisdom starts here. Empathy is where wisdom pays. But do we need to say this here? Trust that by now, you would have seen many posts on mental health day. It’s heartwarming to see people come out and share their stories, that needs courage. But I also see that many do not think it is required or that mental illness is taboo or talking about…

    Reading Newspapers marks your dawn? This is for you

    September 29, 2017

    Do you start your day by reading Newspapers? If you are like my dad, then probably you will read not one, but close to three different dailies along with piping hot filter coffee. Another ritual he follows is that, he will read out certain tit-bits of news aloud – few will be hot debated topics, others will be of murders, robbery or accidents. . It makes me think, why does one even begin their day with the “newspaper” aka “new-age telegram”. While I have great respects for the fifth pillar, I would never want to start my day with one. Why?

    September 25, 2017

    A drabble is 100-words story and this story inspired (featured) this photo Mirrors – Justin TImbrelake was playing in the café. Signalling a table for two, he settled in a sit-out looking out at the street, waiting. An old couple walk by hand in hand, butterflies in his tummy “If only”. He puffed out a perfect ring as she walked in dressed in smiles, throwing him off-guard. She pulled and put out his cigarette. He looked up at her smile once again. Love was reflecting everywhere. Her smile was more addictive than the nicotine ever was. The photo hung on the wall caught his attention – “Line up for Wedding!”…
