They say grief is love with nowhere to go. But that’s only the beginning.What they don’t say is that grief is not a single feeling — it is a shapeshifter. It arrives as a storm, leaves behind a fog. It hides behind your smiles and shows up at the most inconvenient times — not always…

In the vast epic of the Mahabharata, many characters stand out for their strength, valor, or wisdom, but few match the strategic brilliance of Krishna. As the mentor and guide to the Pandavas, Krishna’s role in the Kurukshetra war was not to engage in direct combat but to offer his profound wisdom and foresight to…

In a world where leadership is often tested by challenges, competition, and the lure of short-term gains, maintaining an unwavering commitment to ethical values can be difficult. Yet, leaders who stick to their principles, even when the road is tough, are the ones who earn lasting respect and loyalty. This philosophy is beautifully exemplified in…

In today’s fast-paced, competitive workplace, emotional intelligence (EQ) has emerged as one of the most critical skills for effective leadership. It’s no longer enough for leaders to be strategic thinkers or problem-solvers; they must also possess the ability to understand, connect with, and inspire the people they lead.

In a world that constantly demands noise, presence, and participation, I’ve come to appreciate something far more subtle yet deeply powerful—solitude. Solitude is not loneliness. It is not the absence of people; it is the presence of self. It’s the gentle space where I meet myself without pretense, without performance. It’s where I recalibrate, away…

We are raised on the idea of straight lines. The linear path. The upward graph. The plan that unfolds exactly as imagined.Do this, and you’ll get there.

We tend to fear grief because it feels like drowning. But grief isn’t the opposite of love—it’s what remains when the form of love we knew changes or disappears. It is the echo of connection, the fingerprint of meaning, the thread of memory that refuses to let go. Grief doesn’t follow logic. It doesn’t respond…

Discomfort becomes the enemy, and we are armed—always—with distractions, advice, affirmations, or analysis. But some things in life are not asking to be solved….

There is a quiet kind of hunger inside many of us. A longing to feel anchored. Seen. Enough. We chase after things that promise fulfillment—recognition, relationships, perfection, approval—only to find they fill us briefly, then fade. We keep moving the goalpost. We keep refreshing the feed. We keep performing a self we hope others will…

There is a kind of power that doesn’t announce itself with noise or visibility. It doesn’t seek attention or applause. It exists in stillness. In silence. In solitude. We live in a world obsessed with connection—networks, notifications, endless conversations. And yet, beneath all the noise, many of us are starving for something quieter. Something more…
