There’s fear in the air as we see history repeat itself. 2021 feels like an extension of 2020, but with some extra dose of crisis thrown in for some added effect. Don’t you think? Today, as I spoke with a friend, she shared how her sister was reeling from anxiety thanks to the absence ofContinue reading “Pandemic and the Anxiety.”

Needs versus Wants. #SoulfulSunday
A year ago, life changed for the denizens of this planet. Life, as we knew it, came to a standstill, thanks to a virus that threatened to wipe out the smile from every face on earth. We were forced into our homes, advised to stay indoors, come what may, and learn to adjust to theContinue reading “Needs versus Wants. #SoulfulSunday”
Where do you feel most secure? #SoulfulSunday
Last week, someone on Twitter asked a question: If you are thrown into a room with all the people you have ever met, who would you look for first, and why? I replied I would look for my mom and my pet dog (if he could return from Heaven). The reason is simple: I haveContinue reading “Where do you feel most secure? #SoulfulSunday”
Finding oneself. #SoulfulSunday
“You only have to find yourself. Everything else, you can Google.” I came across this quote this morning. It set me thinking, nay wondering, how the Universe knew this is what I have been pondering since some time now! But, the Universe does that, you know, to wake us up from our slumber, to nudgeContinue reading “Finding oneself. #SoulfulSunday”
People in our life. #SoulfulSunday
The blank screen gazes at me, as if awaiting my command. My fingers hover over the keyboard, ready to click on the keys I instruct them to as my mind tries to grasp a wayward thought and turn it into a blog post. Sadly, no luck. I look back at the blank screen and wonderContinue reading “People in our life. #SoulfulSunday”
Labels. #SoulfulSunday
As I held the jar of pickle at the grocery shop, wondering whether to buy it, or not, the label on it caught my eyes and I was transported to many years ago, back to when I was a 6th grader. I wasn’t studious then, and hence a mediocre student, scraping through the many exams,Continue reading “Labels. #SoulfulSunday”
The Universe listens. #SoulfulSunday
What happens to the words that come out of our mouth or take form in our mind? I used to wonder often. Sometimes I would see a wish miraculously fulfilled. At others, I would sense my words coming back to haunt me. That’s when I realised that what we speak doesn’t get lost in space.Continue reading “The Universe listens. #SoulfulSunday”
Stay positive, come what may. #SoulfulSunday
It’s tough being positive in the face of uncertainty, when in the midst of adversity. Our mind is such, it is an expert at imagining worst case scenarios, at catastrophizing, at thinking of only bad things happening to us. Rarely does it come up with something positive—a happy image, an encouraging thought, hope, a beliefContinue reading “Stay positive, come what may. #SoulfulSunday”
Losing a pet #SoulfulSunday
Last week, my friend lost her pet dog of eleven plus years. Shourya was a golden retriever, six years younger than Chikoo and also his close friend when he was alive. It’s because of our pets that we girls met one fine day, almost ten years ago. Such a long time ago, but it feelsContinue reading “Losing a pet #SoulfulSunday”
Who inspires me. #SoulfulSunday
Being an artist is as tough as anything else. When you see a work of art and exclaim at its beauty, you fail to recognise the amount of time and effort the artist must have spent dragging themselves to their desk to make it. For, it’s not everyday that the artist must feel energetic andContinue reading “Who inspires me. #SoulfulSunday”
