Let’s not confuse issues here. Many people, I would safely venture, practically everyone, is normally on this whirlwind, merry-go-round of emotions. As humans, we are wired to feel, act, respond and live emotionally. We grow up as confused balls of pent-up emotional energy, trying our best to suppress, or at best, cope with negative emotions, […]
One of the more difficult aspects about implementing changes in our life is how we deal with people. All relationships – with friends, family, colleagues or team-mates come with opinions, judgements and approval or disapproval. It’s certainly not unrealistic to seek approval and appreciation from those you know or at least, the ones who matter […]
On 21st March, Jamshedi Navroz, most people get up late, eat breakfast and head to the Atash Behram to say their prayers.

. Ah yes! Every year March 8th is celebrated as International Woman’s Day, solely dedicated to the more or less 3.82 billion women that make up the population of the world, according to a 2019 census. By the number itself, a celebration is certainly in order, keeping in mind how female infanticides prevailed rampantly across […]
. When you lose a friendship, it’s an altogether different sort of hurt and rejection. Friends are who you share pieces and the wholeness of your life with; you comfort them as they do you. A good friend is one who shares your days and nights. Close friends are those with who we share our […]
So, it’s Valentine’s Day tomorrow… we’ll have those packs of love-crazed wolves howling at the moon, all ready to jump off cliffs, swim the deepest seas and climb the highest mountains – all in the name of love.

Railway services have been reinstated on our Mumbai locals. And what was possibly our 9:00am-Borivali-Fast, the one to which our blue-collar Mumbaikar set his watch to, could now well be the new 12:00-noon-Chugger!
