Kindness doesn’t cost shit

It has been a busy but fulfilling week at work. Not a lot has been happening on personal front, though I know it is temporary. It's an elliptical cycle. Work-life juggle balance, as they say. What I want to write about today is the power of kindness. Don't get me wrong, I am not some…

Onwards & Upwards*

What do you see in the above picture? Besides wishing you had bought this stock in 2013, what are your general thoughts on the picture? Would you say that the stock price is rising, falling or staying largely consistent? I believe most of us would interpret it as an upwards trajectory. In a conversation today…

Disconnected

Past couple of weeks have been emotionally overwhelming… I have had some situations in my mind that I feel I did not deal with properly, and that has had me go down a spiral of questioning my intellect in every move I make. Now largely, I have been able to channelise all of that by…

Life’s what you make it?

I often wonder - am I bipolar?  Do you also feel very C’est La Vie on some days and very Nope on others? Some days you will have unbridled energy to conquer every battle that comes your way and some days an e-mail makes you ball your eyes out? My question is - are these…

Absolute truth

Absolute Truth is often daunting, especially when it presents itself as an antihero to our moral compass. While it is true that we are often our hardest critiques, we tend to ignore the liberty we give ourselves as we outline our own character. We justify any means to the end and call it fair game.…

Guess who’s back?

I am writing after what feels like eons, so excuse me if you find my sentences unstructured, punctuation incorrect and thoughts unsolicited. …Which led me to think about why I stopped writing in the first place - writing has always been something that has given me a creative outlet, a canvas to express myself and…

Why GoT doesn’t evoke any emotion anymore

Well, to be completely honest, I have to say that while working on fan service in its last season, ironically, GoT has ended up making a lot of them mad.

Whore.

Not everyone gets how life in India is- people from the West have stereotyped India as the land of snake charmers. They've also accused us of aping them. The picture that comes to their head when they talk of India is the one Slumdog Millionaire painted- the land of poor people, chai and a really…

And then, I started liking it…

//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I have a beautiful family, both the one I was born with and the one that I chose. I had a super comfortable job which allowed me financial independence unlike anyone else of the same age in my peer group, and also gave me a stature in the society……
