Full Circle

Image
  There’s a strange magic in this world, one you can’t touch, see, or measure, but you can feel it. It works quietly, almost invisibly, and shows up when you least expect it. You might call it fate, karma, blessings, or just “life coming full circle.” I call it the return of goodness. It happens like this. You’re going through your day, not thinking too much. You hold the lift door for a stranger rushing in. You help your colleague finish that presentation even though you have your own pile of work. You pay for a tea at the roadside stall and quietly tell the Chaiwala to keep the change because you know coins won’t change your life but might make his evening easier. You don’t do any of this thinking, “Yes, now the universe will reward me.” You just do it because it feels right. And then, days, weeks, or months later, when life feels heavy and you’re quietly wondering why nothing good seems to be happening for you, something strange occurs. You’re stuck at the railway statio...

Your Story Matters

Image
  If you don’t tell your story, no one else will. Every person you meet is carrying a story within them. Some parts are happy, some are painful, and some are a mix of both. Yet, most of the time, we keep these stories locked away. We tell ourselves, “Who will care? My life is ordinary.” But the truth is, there is no such thing as an “ordinary” life. Every life is made of moments that can touch hearts, even if they seem small to you. Think about it, people may see you smiling today, but they might not know how many nights you’ve spent holding back tears. They may see your achievements, but not the countless failures that came before. They might see the calm in your eyes, but not the storms you survived in silence. Unless you speak, these parts of you will remain hidden forever. When you tell your story, you are not just talking about yourself, you are opening a door for others. Someone out there might be going through the same struggle you once faced. Your words could be the reason ...

True Happiness

Image
  Life has a beautiful way of teaching us lessons, often through people we least expect. During my college days, I had some classmates and even a professor, who were unlike most of us. They couldn’t see the way we do or hear the way we hear. At first, you might think that would hold someone back, that it would limit them. But if you had met them, you’d know it was the opposite. These were some of the most brilliant minds I’ve ever known. Their positivity was contagious. They had this rare ability to look at life differently, to find joy and purpose in things we often take for granted. While many of us complained about small inconveniences, they moved ahead with a smile, refusing to be defined by what they lacked. Their way of living left a mark on me that even after a decade, I still carry. Recently, I came across an interview of a person with similar challenges who had cracked one of the most prestigious exams in the country. When asked about life, his words hit me hard, not becau...

Love Within

Image
  There are moments in life when silence feels heavier than words. You could be surrounded by people, yet feel unseen. Friends you once leaned on begin to drift away, relationships lose the warmth they once had, promises break, and expectations quietly shatter. In those lonely moments, a question softly echoes inside, “Does anyone truly love me?” When the world feels distant, when human love feels fragile and temporary, there is a voice that rises from deep within you, gentle, timeless, and certain: “Yes, God does.” This is not a whisper of helplessness. It is the truth of a love so vast and pure that no human affection can match it. Life teaches us that people will often stand beside us when things are bright and easy. They might celebrate us when we succeed, comfort us when it suits them, and even walk with us for a while. But human love has limits, it can falter under pressure, fade with time, or fail when circumstances change. God’s love is different. It doesn’t need us to be...

Whispers of Shiva

Image
  There is something deeply calming about Lord Shiva. You don’t need to know mantras or rituals to feel his presence. You don’t need grand offerings or complex traditions. You just need silence… and a heart that seeks. Shiva is the stillness in chaos, the quiet behind the noise, the peace after a storm. He is both the dance and the dancer, the fire and the ash. He wears the crescent moon in his hair, yet his mind is steady like the vast sky. The Ganga flows from his locks, yet not a strand moves out of place. Serpents wrap around his neck, yet children call him "Bholenath", the innocent one. He does not sit in a palace; he rests on the cold, snow-covered mountains. He wears no silk robes or golden crowns; only a tiger skin and a garland of skulls. He doesn’t demand riches; he blesses even those who offer just a leaf or a drop of water with love. Shiva is the god who accepts you as you are. Whether you are broken or lost, joyful or doubtful, he never turns you away. When...

Life’s Plan

Image
  This morning, as the soft golden light filtered through the curtain and a warm cup of black coffee rested in my hands, I sat by the window of my small condo. The world outside was slowly waking up, birds chirping, a distant honk here and there, and that familiar calm before the city rushes into motion. As I sat there quietly, some thoughts came uninvited, memories, events, a few regrets, and some surprises from the past few months. They passed through my mind like an old movie reel. And while I sipped my coffee, one quiet truth whispered louder than the rest: we make so many plans, don’t we? We plan our careers. We plan our relationships. We even plan the next five years, ten years, and sometimes, our whole lives. But then… life takes a turn. And suddenly, the road we carefully mapped out begins to crumble beneath our feet. Maybe you’ve experienced it too. You wanted to stay in a job, but you had to quit. You thought someone would stay forever, but they didn’t. You worked hard fo...

Caged Wild

Image
  You know, a strange thought crossed my mind today while I was just sitting quietly with a cup of Coffee in hand. I don’t know why, but it stuck with me. “Indeed, hearts are wild creatures… that’s why our ribs are cages.” And the more I thought about it, the more it made sense. Have you ever noticed how our hearts always want things they shouldn’t? A person we shouldn’t fall for… a dream we shouldn’t chase… a feeling we try so hard to ignore? Yet the heart, stubborn as ever, doesn’t listen. It keeps beating for things that may never happen, keeps longing for people who may never turn back, and keeps hoping even when logic tells us not to. It’s like the heart has its own mind, wild, free, untamed. It doesn’t follow rules or limits. And maybe that’s why we need a cage of ribs around it. Not just to protect it physically, but to keep it in check. Otherwise, who knows where it would run? There have been times in my life when I knew something wasn’t right for me, but my heart still wan...
