Have you ever thought of a quality which is indispensable, can change your life dramatically, yet so underrated? For past few days, I had been researching over gratitude, science behind it and why it is even relevant to our lives. Here are some findings I want to share with you all. We all know whatContinue reading “Gratitude-the first step toward the path of success”

Disclaimer: This post does not intend to support or devalue any religion. “Are you getting ready for the church?”, Kate asked me. “Yeah…I will join you in a couple of minutes.”, I replied. Since I had come to the Netherlands, I have not been to any temple. I thought why not explore a church. IContinue reading “I met Ganesha in the church”

I always wonder how to start an article. I have so many thoughts in the mind, trying to make their way to have a clear picture on a paper and make some sense, that this time, I thought I will allow them to directly appear, as they are, without any formal start or introduction. TwoContinue reading “Ambling in a city of the Netherlands: A small bag, a big bag, Amstel-dam and me – Part 1”

Today, I came across this YouTube video (Disclaimer: By no means this article is to advertise the mentioned video.) and contemplated for a spell of time. I realized that, all of us, in general, knowingly or unknowingly judge people based on their skin tone. If not judge, we give importance to color tone for certainContinue reading “Unfair and lovely?”

It’s almost three weeks in and I am settling in the Netherlands – first time abroad and so naturally, full of curiosity. I came here for my bachelor’s thesis and my nerdiness would definitely make me do more of studies (:p) but awestruck by the idiosyncrasy of the place, here I am, trying to exploreContinue reading “Ambling in a village of the Netherlands”

“Ajo, why don’t you play the slide with me?”, asked little Ashni to her grandpa. “I am old now, beta. I can’t.” “Ajo, but why can’t you? You are fit.”, came the next innocent question. “Ashni…beta, do you see old people playing slides? No, right? It’s the thing of children.” Ashni traipsed back to play.Continue reading “The skies did not restrict him”

Silence is an underrated thing. There is unmatched beauty in silence. It brings you close to the person whom you keep on ignoring in your busy schedule(which, in turn, you yourself made busy by choice – believe it or not! So, respect it!),a person you should love the most in your life – and yes,Continue reading “A page from an introvert’s diary”

So, the other day, I was walking in my college campus from the computer centre to my hostel enjoying the scenic beauty of the central lawns and experiencing the breeze flowing through my open hair with my favourite songs playing on in the earphones! Just another day. On my way, something caught my attention…just anotherContinue reading “Embrace the shadows!”

So, here I am, with a lens in my hand and trying to find my passion… I listen, I watch, I read a bunch of things out there that glorify “Find your passion.” I thought for a while. Are passions inherited in the genes? Are they built up by default, by birth? Do we reallyContinue reading “Finding passion!(?)”

I really don’t get the meaning of remarks like “my daughter/wife/mother, etc. is not less than a man.” I mean really? By saying this, you are concreting the opinion: man is the best and you need to change yourself to be like him or “improve” yourself to be like a man. I think we needContinue reading “Ladies, “the you” in yourself !”
