Transitioning into adulthood is momentous – almost like completing the finale of the first lap of life and embarking into the genesis of the climax. There isn’t any demarcated interlude called ‘transition’ in between shifts from one stage of life to another. I wish there was! Though each of us is sculpted by the Divine […]
I sometimes wonder whether I am truly grown up as an adult according to the generalized societal standards or not. I rarely bother about what should we eat the next day, make a financial plan for the future and what will happen if there is a crisis. Usually, any adult man will poke his whole […]
That’s quite cliché and cheesy, as if from a run to mill Bollywood masala movie, isn’t it? But ironically that’s the reality of life. * Note: don’t try underwater stunts if you don’t know how to swim. Well, that joke bombed. So let’s talk about life now. What marks a transition in an individual? Marriage, […]
If you’ve watched ‘Russel Peters’ – the Indian turned Canadian – stand-up comedian, you’d probably be very familiar with the above phrase. That is what his father always told him. My Father of course never did – however, it always seemed to be implied. After a certain age, a boy just knows, he needs to […]
For all the kids who are soon going to be entering adulthood, I just have this one advice. If you learn the art of balancing your circle of influence, you will grow up to be a really strong and mature adult. This is something I learnt over the years of entering and maintaining adulthood. The […]
Marriage is a turning point for most people in their lives. No matter the reasons for marrying, its an event that leaves a mark and becomes a starting point for many subsequent events. Religious texts and rituals all across the world have spent much time and thought dictating how and why two people should marry. […]
We had a great week discussing the barriers in any sort of relationships, especially marital ones. As I was thinking about those barriers, I realised they are to be very common and known to all and we always can try to rectify our relationships by breaking them at some point in our life. But there […]
Set the alarm for the next day, have put the kids to sleep, hand cream ✔️, moisturizer ✔️, time to hit the sack and before calling it a day one important ritual to perform. Praying ❎, Reading a book ❎, Writing diary ❎, it’s a ritual followed more religiously, relentlessly – social media surfing. Yes, […]
Love is a beautiful feeling, an integral emotion and a wonderful experience altogether. Yet, love isn’t everything. And people come at the crossroads where they realize that love isn’t working anymore. Disagreement, turmoil, shortcomings and other disturbances ruin love, the basis of every relation. Ujjwala, found her love during her yoga classes. A man used […]
Love, being an intrinsic human attribute and need, cannot be effectively caged behind bars. It always yearns for expression. However, love cannot always be expressed and/ or experienced sans roadblocks. Though love faces many barriers in its way, I will talk about one major hiccup to expressing and/ or experiencing love. The fly in the […]
The baby had a lucky escape thanks to the intervention of those two human beings. It’s true that these days it’s easier to ‘Like’ something but actually take no further action. I don’t often use Facebook because the game is to get as many followers possible who can ‘like’you but you’d never be able to really interact with so many people so it becomes shallow.
On the other hand you do read of some terrible things on Facebook, accidents, deaths etc and it’s very hard to verify the truth of them so it’s easier to stay un-involved.

It’s so true that verifying the credibility of things posted on FB is near to impossible and many (not everyone) is using this platform for their selfish motives.

This says beautifully exactly what I think. We have become a selfish society. Everything has to be for our convenience, even to where we park our cars. Never mind that we might be causing an obstruction.
When I grew up, I, and everyone else, was taught to put others first. Then, in the 70s or 80s, we were told we needed to SOMETIMES ( and I emphasize that word) think of ourselves. Now this has come to always put ourselves first. Me time can’t be interrupted by anything. This has resulted, in my opinion, in the selfcentred world we have today.
