I pulled out the jingling bunch of keys from my pocket in order to unlock the door. The old, grey door opened with a crackling sound. These days, I call this soundless house my home! Isn’t it peculiar how we perceive things? Only a month ago, this house seemed to be filled with dreams and…

Women! Let’s stop victimizing ourselves.
Dressed in crisp white shirt with black skinny pant and a pair of blue stilettos, I stood there in front of the mirror whining about my long voluminous curly hair. I was continuously arguing with myself, one part of me said, “I look bad” and the other part of me said, “It doesn’t matter, you…
The One!
The tea leaves went up and down following the convection current inside the vessel. The smell was relaxing and it calmed my mind. I switched off the gas and started straining this rejuvenating tea into a cup, when suddenly I noticed a bright shining light on my ring finger. It was early in the morning,…
The thoughts within…
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock! And I took another deep breath, trying to concentrate only on my breathing. There was a constant chatter inside my head. Then, I exhaled to the fullest!

Freedom – “The expression of self and the power that not everyone can handle”

Hope! The fuel for life…
Every time I go out travelling to different places I learn something new and this time was no different. I spent a week on the western coast of India. Its spectacular view, amazing food and warm hearted people made my trip pleasant. During my stay I experienced a lot of things but this one will…
The Art of Decision Making!
It was a warm Sunday afternoon, something suddenly disturbed my nap. Guess what? It was my mind regretting for everything it had done till date. I am sure you all would have done something in your life which you are not so proud of. And I am no different. One of my biggest regrets is…
My journey just began…
It was 5th January 2018, I told my mother; “mom, I am scared. I don’t know if I am taking the right decision.” And she said, “It’s OK if you fail, but take it up bravely.” And since then, my new journey started. By noon I reached Woodstock Ambience. I was nervous, as it was…
