Some of the best stories ever written are about women, by women! Those who say women are the weaker sex are incredibly naïve! Women are the very epitome of strength and resilience. While being the precious glue that binds all things tender and beautiful, women are raised to put another’s needs before their own, thus […]
At the onset, let me start by wishing all readers a Happy Valentines Day which falls on 14th February, 2025. They say, “Love is not for everyone.” Romantic love always has it challenges. Just see the crazy number of books we’ve read or the insane number of movies we’ve seen, all based on this one […]
A hypocrite! Surely from time to time, I may have been one, but then so have you, right? That’s the unfailing truth. You know it, and so do I. I have, on several occasions, pretended to be alright with things even though my instincts wanted to scream out, “It’s not ok!” How many of us […]

Undoubtedly, we all don masks, a social veil that permits us to form, forge and live in the real world. There is not a person alive, born or breathing that doesn’t wear it. We have one face for the world and another that often hides behind it. Relationships these days seem to be increasingly conditional. […]
It’s interesting how most assume the idea that the New Year ushers in a spirit of complete newness, heralding in some kind of rebirth or renewal, springing forth from a brand-new day. I certainly do not want to be a killjoy, but it’s not like the world suddenly gets a complete Do Over! It’s not […]
Grief is a loaded word. When you’re dealing with the loss of something irreplaceable, you feel shattered as you’re left picking up the pieces. Grief is animate, it visits at random – you can’t schedule it. If you try to walk away from it, it simply waits for you. It clings to all the parts […]
Being mature is often associated with one’s age. Age and experience can, no doubt, assist in gaining greater perspective, more insight, more temperance. But maturity is not the reserve of age – it’s a form of learned behaviour, it’s how you deal with yourself and others, in keeping with your circumstances, suffering, success and failures. […]
Your aura or auric field vibrates and radiates all your emotions and feelings. Sometimes ‘Aura’, is a term loosely used to mean a glow or a vibe that one can pick up from a person.
