Living with scars is difficult, walking a ramp with them feels impossible. Yet, a few dare. A large auditorium was filled with sceptics, learners, critics, influencers, sympathizers and casual observers. Suddenly, the sound of breaking glass shattered the air. Darkness fell. Silence followed. In dim light, a lone figure walked the ramp. A feminine voice spoke: “Scars show pain and suffering, some pages turned, some bridges burnt and lessons learnt – beautiful in a way. They

Happy New Year wishes come by the dozens from so many who mean well for you, yet new beginnings finally depend on trusting the quiet magic within oneself. Happiness is not something readymade - it arises from one’s own actions, intentions, and alignment. Let the change of year bring in the desired actions to approach life with purpose, responsibility, and strategy, seeing personal growth, contribution, and daily activities (work, family, self-care). The New Year can be se

An elderly man in a bar picked up a tissue paper and scribbled a line “Why Suffer The Past And Future …. that does not exist”. He then wrote “A Deal” you pay for my drinks and I shall reflect on your "Deal With Memory & Imagination” and placed it on the next table where 3 friends were sitting. On reading the note the three were adjusting their seats closer to the old man. After exchanging their names, the elderly man said in your conversations I could sense you three w

Most people prefer the emotional comfort and security of adhering to their existing beliefs and opinions, even when those beliefs might be factually incorrect or challenged by new evidence.

“How much do we compromise?” depends greatly on our stage of life, our temperament and what exactly is at stake. In relationship, compromise is familiar territory. In youth, people often adjust more freely- sometimes in the name of love, sometimes because their own preferences are not deeply set. As one grows older, life patterns, habits, and personal space become more defined. With this comes less tolerance for disruption, and a smaller appetite for compromising one’s wel

Willingness and Wilfulness each of the two has its own time and place, but when misused, either can quietly dismantle whatever we are trying to create. Willingness – is the inner readiness – the happy consent to do what is needed. ‘Wilfulness’ (or willfulness in American spelling) on the other hand expresses a stubborn refusal to consider, to change direction or to be persuaded.

An elderly woman was reading a book in a coffee shop when a young girl approached her and said, We may not be on the same page, but it seems we are reading “Distance Well” by the same author. The old lady smiled and invited her to sit so they could share their understanding. The elderly women began, “Do you sense that distance is far more than the dictionary definition of space or withdrawal?’ The young girl replied, “Yes distance feels like an inner experience as much as a

A master carpenter the highest ranker in his profession stood before a new batch of students. Spread across the table were a wide range of tools, each with its own purpose, weight and character. Introducing carpentry, he described it as a skilled trade rooted in cutting, shaping, and assembling wood to construct and install components for buildings and furniture. Carpenters must learn the use of numerous hand and power tools to measure, cut, fasten, prepare joints and under

The birth of ‘you’ is given by others. It is others who give ‘you’ a name. For every ‘you’ others play a vital role- providing support, shaping personal development, and offering new perspectives through various relationships like family, friends, and mentors.
