These last couple of months, I’ve been spending quality time with my nephew’s, umm, or should I say niece’s dog (the ownership’s a bit hazy, but strongly debatable between the two). Safe to say then, the cute pooch that belonging to both, taught me some salient lessons about life without even trying. For all who […]
An age-old question we’ve all often asked ourselves – why do we hurt the people we love the most? It’s uncanny how we operate on various levels of inflicting and receiving hurt, with most cases defying simple logic. Our relationships are often formed over years of intimacy and trust.

Finding a perfect pair of jeans is honestly more difficult than finding the right guy! In your teens and 20’s, that perfect dude had to be cool, hip and completely with it.

‘Ikigai’ – you’ve probably heard or seen the word. Or, maybe you’ve seen the multi-circle Venn diagram. A while ago, this book, ‘Ikigai’, with the serenely beautiful blue cover and a stylistic cherry blossom, started doing the rounds and immediately became a Los Angeles Times bestseller. Ikigai (pronounced ‘eye-ka-guy’) became a topic of conversation and […]

Have you ever asked yourself the big question – ‘How do I want to be remembered’? A seemingly deep and conclusive introspection, it would be a quite difficult putting the answer into words. It’s a meaty question for sure, the kind that leaves you in profound philosophical thoughts for hours. This self-query will reveal a […]
Carpe Diem! Gosh, how often have you heard this catchphrase? How many times have you spotted it on graffiti-displayed walls? Billboards carry it, encouraging messages play it, advertisements promote it, and products sell it!
