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 […]
The last month of the year has many of us reflect on the year gone by. We push away from all the noise and distractions, even as we look forward to new beginnings with the advent of a New Year. Some hope, some fulfilment and some resolutions that will be met as now there’s the […]
Turkey has increasingly become a preferred tourist destination. By the onset of the millennium, Turkey was gaining momentum but come 2021, Turkey stood proud as the fourth-most visited country in the world. At its height in 2019, pre-pandemic, Turkey attracted 51 million foreign tourists! Straddled between Asia and Europe, Turkey boasts of a unique Arabian […]
Most writers write in tandem to their lives, in tandem to their experiences, but good writers create. They create magic on paper, magic in tales, with fiction or fact – the script, unique… the play of words, smooth and textured like cream on crusty bread. Like cream and berries always a soft burst of light […]

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 […]

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. […]

Science defines it as an electromagnetic field around you. Science has also managed to pick up colours that surround people, […]
Undoubtedly, women are a force to reckon with. They juggle, wiggle, contend, they task – they do it all! Born multitaskers, women as women are absolutely fierce… but when it comes to her role as a mother, she is undeniably the spring from whence starts all creation! Being a mother is about playing the pivotal […]
Sometimes you just need to walk away. Walk away from those selfish, self-engrossed individuals whose toxicity drains your aura.
