A Small Emotional Homecoming
The last two days felt ordinary. And yet, maybe they weren’t. I stepped out after a really long time to meet a friend who lives outside the rhythm of my everyday life. I’ve realized something about myself over the years: I’m not a great friend in the traditional sense. I don’t initiate much. In my…

Inclusion is a powerful thing.
And no, it’s not about the budgets allocated, the trainings scheduled, or the essays written about it.Inclusion happens in the everyday. In small, almost forgettable moments. When people wait for you before having tea.When feedback isn’t asked as a courtesy, but because your opinion actually matters. I felt that kind of inclusion recently in a…

Between Traffic Signals and To-Do Lists
With corporates moving back to a full work-from-office mandate, my days have stretched longer—about three extra hours lost on the road. Traffic, I’m realizing, has a silent cost. The day now starts early. By the time I step out, it’s around 7 a.m. And by the time I return home, it’s often past 5 p.m.…

Life Goes On While We Focus on Other Things
I’ve been noticing a quiet shift in me lately. I’m more mindful now about creating a holistic life — not one that revolves only around work. I’m not married at 34. For the longest time, I believed life would begin after marriage. Until then, the plan was simple: work hard, reach the top, then live.…

Finding My Rhythm
I missed writing yesterday. I just didn’t have the energy. A faint voice in my heart kept saying, you can do it, it will just take 60 minutes. But I was so tired that even sparing 10 minutes felt like too much. It’s always discipline versus energy. Yesterday, I was exhausted beyond limits. My eyes…

The Quiet After the Holidays
As I was stepping out for some work today, I saw a group of people taking down the lights and decorations.And instantly, I was taken back to two weeks ago—when those lights first went up. That moment felt so joyful. Almost like an aha! — holiday season is here. Seeing them come down today did…

The Sunrise Didn’t Show Up — And That Was Okay
I brought in 2026 with a wide smile on my face at midnight, and then woke up early this morning, went on a short road trip, and came back. I went hoping to catch the sunrise—but nature had other plans. It was misty and cloudy. Surprisingly, I wasn’t disappointed. I found myself thinking, yeah, okay,…

Messy, Hard, Worth It — A Thank You to 2025
I read something yesterday that stayed with me: Resilience, while you’re in it, doesn’t feel like resilience at all. It feels messy, chaotic, and directionless. Only in hindsight do we name it. That sentence summed up 2025 for me. When I was in the middle of it, I was genuinely praying for the year to…

I Love Walking, But My Step Count Says Otherwise
I am a girl who loves to walk — not a casual stroll, but a 5K-in-one-go kind of walk.In any new city, I’ll always choose walking over transport. It has consistently been my breath of fresh air after hectic days. Early mornings on a beach as the dawn breaks.Mountain paths that lead to a waterfall.Walking,…

A 60-Second Reel Is 90 Minutes in Real Life
The thought going on in my mind since morning was that I have to post.It felt good. And then the workday started — and I forgot about it completely.By evening, the energy was gone. Still, here I am. Writing.Because I committed to carving out 15 minutes. Fifteen minutes sounds small. Anyone can find that time.But…
