Why Does Growth Often Feels Lonely
I am here and right in the middle of it. The Lonely Stage. It is not just a passing feeling. It is that messy phase where my goals and reality clash like two kids fighting over a toy. It is where old friendships fade, and new ones have not quite clicked yet.

Where Have Those Days of Friendship Gone?
Where Have Those Days of Friendship Gone? Where have those days gone when friendship was not just a relationship but the very essence of life? Those days when sitting on the school steps, chatting endlessly, getting drenched in the rain, playfully splashing water at each other, and later hiding those wet clothes from our mothers out of fear but laughing uncontrollably – all of it feels so vividly etched in memory even today. Those were days of innocent friendship... a bond without selfishness, without expectations. Sharing lunch during recess, tasting each other’s favourite dishes, and finding immense joy in such simple acts – there was magic hidden in those little moments. If someone got a new pen, it was mandatory for everyone to use it before the school day ended. There was no room for jealousy or competition, only pure happiness in each other’s joys. Fights did happen, misunderstandings arose, but they never lasted long. A quarrel in the morning would turn into laughter by afternoon. The concept of 'not talking' would last for just a few hours because ego had no place in that friendship. We played pranks, teased each other, but even in those mischievous acts, there was affection. In those playful smiles and innocent tears, there was a bond of togetherness that words could never define. But today, everything has changed. Friends are still there, but the essence of friendship is lost. People are around, yet hearts have drifted apart. There are thousands of ‘friends’ on social media, but not a single true friend by the side. We have emojis to express laughter, but the genuine warmth behind those smiles is missing. Where did that friendship go, the one where there was always time for each other? Today, even with plenty of time, meetings are limited to online platforms. Feelings are confined to text messages, and instead of opening up to each other, people find solace in updating their ‘status.’ The digital age has certainly brought people closer virtually but has widened the emotional gap between them. Do you remember those moments when after a fight, we would walk away, turning our backs on each other, but before reaching the end of the street, we’d glance back... and the moment our eyes met, we would run back and hug each other tightly? Today, arguments still happen, but they are followed by prolonged silences, sometimes even permanent ones. Where have those days gone when there was no ‘I’ in relationships, only ‘we’? Where is that emotion which kept humanity alive? Even after achieving success and reaching the pinnacle of life, the void left by the absence of genuine friendship lingers painfully in the heart. Truly... where have those days of friendship gone? Perhaps, we are the ones who left them behind as we moved forward. It’s time to turn back and look for those lost days. It’s time to revisit those memories when a fight would start over a piece of chocolate, but the same chocolate, when shared, would make the friendship sweeter again. Let’s take a moment to call our old friends, go beyond the confines of social media and meet face-to-face, look into each other’s eyes, and have heart-to-heart conversations. Because friendship never grows old, it just waits silently in the corners of our hearts. Where have those days of friendship gone? They are still within us... waiting to be revived once more.

Table for two
I didn't see her when I walked in from the parking lot on the side of the building, and I didn't see her either while I was standing in line, waiting for my turn to place my order at the counter. But as soon as I sat down at the empty table next to the window with my little numbered marker, my drink, and a few napkins I finally caught a glimpse of her obscure figure. She was alone, eating and smiling like she was enjoying her food. Nobody was bothering her and that was a surprise to me if I need to be honest while I tell you the story. Not that I want them to be rude, but I never saw something like that before, at least not where I live. This was the first week I was there and was still learning about the locals' "way of life".

The Queer Kingdom: For the love of the Zoo
It was a cloudy Wednesday morning at Sunnyside Zoo when the interns gathered for their first animal behavior lecture. Dr. Susan Patel, the lead zoologist, stood in front of a whiteboard scribbled with diagrams of penguins, giraffes, and geese. “Today,” she began, “we’re going to talk about a topic that isn’t often covered in textbooks but is just as important: the queerness of the animal kingdom.”

Life
Every hurdle a person faces in life is painful to encounter. Sometimes, we see them coming; other times, they strike unexpectedly. In overcoming these hurdles, we fight—battles that we call struggles. And these struggles leave scars, ones we carry with us every day, often for the rest of our lives.
