The hum was the first thing I noticed. Not the kind of hum that comes from an old fridge or the fluorescent tubes in a neglected office ceiling, but the soft, infinite hum of circuits straining to keep a hollow city lit. It sat behind the screen, low and constant, like the pulse of something…

Truth Lies for Pennies
Truth lies for pennies in the market square, Authentic hearts are scattered everywhere. The sweat of labor stains both earth and sky, Yet solitude sits gentle, and not wry. But falsehood struts in robes of golden thread, Its price is dear, yet mortals turn their head. For costly masks do catch the crowd’s delight, And…
Mahaveer Swami’s teachings
Remembering Mahaveer Swami on this auspicious day today..centuries ago, gave us timeless lessons that can guide even our modern lives filled with rush, competition, and endless striving. The first and most powerful lesson is “Ahimsa” non-violence. At its core, it is not just about avoiding physical harm but about choosing compassion in every thought, word,…
Free
You walk alone. Not because no one is there, but because there are journeys that cannot be shared, choices that cannot be spoken for you, truths that cannot be handed down. There is a path only your feet can trace, one step at a time, and it does not ask for company…it asks for courage….
I carried my words
I carried my wordslike river stones in my pocketsmoothed by years of touch,never once let go. Around me,voices shifted with the weather,bending themselvesto fit new skies. But mine stayed,anchored deep beneath my ribs,where truth does not rustand promises hum softly in the dark. It wasn’t stubbornnessit was tending,watering the same small seedeven as the gardenwas…
Finding yourself in a Golden World
I wasn’t born into a struggle. My family was well-off. The golden spoon was there, polished and waiting, ready for me to hold it without question. But something in me resisted. I didn’t want my life to be measured in what I had inherited. I wanted it to be measured in what I had made….
It is just You
I kept asking myself over and over why would someone do that to me? What had I done to deserve silence from someone I held in such high regard? Someone I trusted, respected, and looked up to with admiration. Someone who inspired me to dream bigger, reach further, and believe in the path I was…
The Perfect World
The perfect world is not built on appearances, but on presence. Too often we find ourselves surrounded by mentors eager to guide those who already stand tall, senior leaders polished and visible, while the ones quietly struggling at the edges wait unseen. Wisdom should not be a privilege reserved for the few with titles and…
Before you sink, find your anchor
There’s a peculiar kind of heaviness that can descend on a person when the world seems to have pressed pause. Time stretches out, each second drawn into a pool of quiet so thick it feels like moving through water: every breath, every step demands effort. In that stillness, memories of a loosing someone you can’t…
So you are a convenience?
Have you ever paused before sending a quick “Hey, can you help me with this?” message and wondered if you’re treating someone who truly cares about you as nothing more than a convenient favor factory? Genuine professional connections, those colleagues, mentors, and peers who really want to collaborate, deserve more than sporadic outreach only when…
