Life is indeed about the journey. The funny thing — the ultimate cosmic joke — is that we won’t truly understand that until we’ve taken the journey. Sometime back I listened to a Howard Stern interview with Jonah Hill. They were discussing topics such as taking notes on a film and why Jonah wanted to host SNL for a fifthContinue reading “The Journey”

Happiness is a Choice
Henry David Thoreau said: “Happiness is like a butterfly: the more you chase it, the more it will elude you, but if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and sit softly on your shoulder.” Here are two stories on happiness. Once, a shah was riding in his palanquin through the town,Continue reading “Happiness is a Choice”
You are Whole
I came across this lovely quote on my Insta feed from thedoodledesk‘s account. And this made me reflect on how things are constantly changing in my life. We all have our ups and downs, days when we are super-motivated and days when we feel low and lost. We are constantly trying to keep up withContinue reading “You are Whole”
Bitter or Better? Your Choice
No one on this planet is spared from getting affected by the actions of others. People impact us, sometimes in a good way and sometimes in a bad way. We get hurt by the words and behaviour of others. Some of us may pretend that no one can get under their skin. But at someContinue reading “Bitter or Better? Your Choice”
One Word Can Make A Difference
Every single word or sentence has the power to move people toward you or away from you. Using the right words can inspire, embrace, acknowledge, intrigue, validate, and include others in a positive way. Words are powerful things. They can uplift and they can burn.

It was a romantic night to be sure, but one of theContinue reading “Suggestive Women – The Story of the Car Radio”

We’ve all gone through that phase when people, friends or family, have a change of attitude towards you. Most often we tend to say “it is not my problem!”. S/he has a problem and hence the change in behaviour. When it is the other way around, we may tend to withdraw, switch off, keep tellingContinue reading “Introspection”
Clap for Yourself and Others!
Jealousy is a normal emotion that everyone experiences. If you’re not careful, however, jealousy and envy can grow into resentment and bitterness. And those destructive emotions could lead to a vicious downward spiral. Social media seems to amplify resentment. Spend two minutes scrolling through Facebook or Instagram and it’s easy to become convinced your friendsContinue reading “Clap for Yourself and Others!”
Choosing Hope
This quote by Christopher Reeve is a perfect example of choosing hope rather than giving it up. He didn’t let his accident end his life, he chose to hope that one day he would walk again and he made great strides towards that goal. While he may not have achieved it he still goes downContinue reading “Choosing Hope”
