Through his eyes
To the Stranger Who Changed My Life Dear Stranger, Sometimes, we don’t realize how small moments can have the biggest impact on our lives. It wasn’t an event I had been waiting for, nor was it a moment I could have anticipated. But the day you stopped, noticed me, and spoke to me—everything changed in ways I still struggle to put into words.

Vibe Alone Until You’re Valued
Vibe Alone Until You’re Valued There’s a peculiar kind of quiet that comes when you stop chasing validation from others. At first, it feels uncomfortable—like something is missing. The spaces where someone’s laughter used to fill the air feel too vast, and the silence of your phone is deafening. But then, something miraculous happens.

The Beginning
I’ve always wondered: am I the only one who walks around, constantly spinning stories in my head? Maybe that’s where imaginary friends go when we grow up—fading from sight, only to become stories instead of companions. But can they even be called “companions” if they were never really there? Still, they felt real to me. Real enough to fill quiet moments with dialogue, adventures, and entire worlds I could escape into.

Goodness Is Weakness. Content Warning.
While I Slept Last Night, The Real Me Held The Waking Me Hostage I wasn't bound or gagged. I was sitting in a dark room that was lit by dim bulbs, and viscera dripped from the ceiling to the floor. It wasn't the intestines and seared and ragged flesh that lined the walls as curtains or the exsanguination of random limbs littered on the floor that told me it was a nightmare. It wasn't the blood and guts that oozed from the walls endlessly that told me that it was all a very bad dream. Those things are in every dream. I am unbothered by the gore of my mind.

The Power of a Pure Heart. AI-Generated.
The Power of a Pure Heart Life is like a shallow river, constantly flowing through twists and turns, overcoming obstacles along the way. During this journey, negative thoughts, hatred, jealousy, and the ripples of failure surround us like murky waters. Many individuals allow themselves to be consumed by these turbulent waves, losing their true selves. However, some people rise above these waves, keeping their hearts pure, for their intentions are sincere, and their minds remain untainted. Though the world around may be filled with negativity, if one's heart is pure, its glow never fades. History is full of individuals who, despite being surrounded by negativity, have upheld their truth and purity. One such example is Mahatma Gandhi. During the unjust British rule, he chose the path of Satyagraha. No matter how much injustice, hatred, or violence surrounded him, his purpose remained true and sincere. As a result, his character continued to shine and influence generations to come. Saint Tukaram Maharaj is another unparalleled example. He faced immense criticism, with people accusing him of many things, dragging him into the murkiness of society’s scorn. However, Tukaram’s heart was pure, filled with devotion and truth. His only aim was to worship Lord Vithoba with selfless devotion. His Abhangas (devotional hymns) created a new light in the hearts of people, and even after centuries, his legacy continues to shine. The murky waters symbolize the falsehoods, wrongdoings, and negative environments present in society. But those who have a pure heart, whose intentions are genuine, remain untouched by these waters. When the heart is pure, one’s perspective remains untainted regardless of the circumstances. Such individuals don’t deceive others, don’t harbor ill thoughts, and remain unaffected by negative influences. Consider the example of a tree. No matter how many storms it faces, the tree with strong roots stands firm. Similarly, our lives are the same. No matter how difficult the situation, no matter how biting the criticism, if our roots are firmly grounded in sincerity and pure intentions, we never falter. In this world, many people may doubt your sincerity, find flaws in your actions, or criticize your choices. But instead of being swayed by their murky thoughts, the key is to keep your heart pure. The power of truth and sincerity is such that it cleanses any negativity and helps maintain your individuality. There will be many moments in life when people throw mud in your path. During such times, responding to them is not as important as responding through your actions. Just like a lotus flower that blooms in the muck, it preserves its beauty and purity without disturbing the muddy water. It doesn’t cloud the water; instead, it purifies it. Similarly, our lives should be like that. No matter how much dirt surrounds us, we must preserve our purity. In life, there will be times when people criticize us, when wrong things are said about us. But during those times, we must have faith in our purity of heart. If the heart is pure, no amount of murky waters can overwhelm us. Truth and purity are our true strength. Ultimately, no matter how much murky water surrounds us, preserving the purity of our heart is the truest essence of our life. For when the intention is pure, even murky water cannot wash away our uniqueness.

An ode to my wanderlust- my recent travel reflections
The darkness that surrounds the storm is often the most turbulent period of hardships that embellish us into the trance of not knowing what to do. I learnt the lessons of patience, virtue and gratitude from the darkest periods of my life. Life has its ways of embracing us in its wisdom, staggering us into the whirlwinds of challenges and adversities, only to gift us with peonies of hope. Hope can metamorphose mountains of hatred into the galloping beauty of existence that showers us with the narrative of self-belief and confidence. It is often in a wanderlust away from our daily surroundings that we realize the wonder that the world we live in has to offer. Forgiveness after a storm is like accepting the catastrophe without denying the damage it has done. It is painful but necessary to survive, to thrive in our lives.
