I usually don't write about my personal and political beliefs on my blog as this is not a space for that. However, sometimes you are forced to raise your voice. Especially when war, conflict, and viol...
As we approach the third decade of the millennium, it is safe to say that the world of ideas has been saturated. We don't get to look at falling apples and go. 'Gee, I wonder how that happens'. Becaus...
In one of our usual existential conversations, a friend of mine said to me, "I feel like I am always waiting for something. But I don't know what it is." While I told her that I could relate it got me...
I've been working on becoming more mindful for a few months. I don't do it as a ritual or indulge in mindfulness practices on a daily basis (yet) but I've definitely become mindful of being mindful. I...
It's no secret that adulthood is a roller coaster ride. Your twenties, especially, are marked by some very high highs and some very low lows. We've all seen the memes. One day you feel like you can co...
This blog post is about words and I'm sitting here struggling to find the words to share how I feel...about words.
I came into this world with a paintbrush in one hand and a book in the other. �...

I’ve always had a way with words from as far back as I can remember. I remember reading my first book – Goldilocks and the Three Bears – when I was around one/two-years-old. My parents had bough...
I went back to uni to get my postgrad degree in February 2018. After 2.5 years of academic break, numerous anxious question started popping up in my mind. Will I be able to take the study load again? ...
Everything starts when we are little. That’s how it started for me, too. I remember even now how my dad used to read books for me before bed. And how my mum would make up stories where I was the mai...
I usually don't write about my personal and political beliefs on my blog as this is not a space for that. However, sometimes you are forced to raise your voice. Especially when war, conflict, and violence come so close to your home that you feel personally affected by it.
From the Pakistan-India conflict to the recent New Zealand terrorist attac...
As we approach the third decade of the millennium, it is safe to say that the world of ideas has been saturated. We don't get to look at falling apples and go. 'Gee, I wonder how that happens'. Because, duh. We keep hearing that 'content is king'. So writers and bloggers have to play the inevitable game of thrones. There is so much being written ev...
In one of our usual existential conversations, a friend of mine said to me, "I feel like I am always waiting for something. But I don't know what it is." While I told her that I could relate it got me thinking about what this feeling actually is. After a bit of pondering, I arrived at a probable answer. Longing. A melancholic descend into nothingne...
I've been working on becoming more mindful for a few months. I don't do it as a ritual or indulge in mindfulness practices on a daily basis (yet) but I've definitely become mindful of being mindful. If that makes sense. I have one of those minds that doesn't rest. I have to purposefully push the brakes and take time off thinking. Mindfulness help...
It's no secret that adulthood is a roller coaster ride. Your twenties, especially, are marked by some very high highs and some very low lows. We've all seen the memes. One day you feel like you can conquer the world and the other you just want to stay in bed like a burrito of blankets playing a certain Bruno Mars song in the background.

This blog post is about words and I'm sitting here struggling to find the words to share how I feel...about words.
I came into this world with a paintbrush in one hand and a book in the other. As a child, I was either creating a "masterpiece" or devouring a book. While art allowed me to express myself freely, books granted me passage into d...

I’ve always had a way with words from as far back as I can remember. I remember reading my first book – Goldilocks and the Three Bears – when I was around one/two-years-old. My parents had bought me a bear, and it came with the book. Each of the bear’s ten toes corresponded to the ten pages of the book; and, if you pressed the toes, the bea...
I went back to uni to get my postgrad degree in February 2018. After 2.5 years of academic break, numerous anxious question started popping up in my mind. Will I be able to take the study load again? What will the social situation be like? Am I ready to indulge in the long hours of commute again? I was unsure of all these things but I was sure that...
Everything starts when we are little. That’s how it started for me, too. I remember even now how my dad used to read books for me before bed. And how my mum would make up stories where I was the main character but I never understood it. How could I be a princess wanted by so many guys in the village? Or how could I be a mermaid in the deep blue s...
