In the latest episode of Grey’s Anatomy, an unconscious Meredith describes how a newborn takes the first breath outside the womb. She describes it as the scariest step a human does. Breathing on its own for the very first time. Thinking about it, it made me accept the enormity of the task. That tiny little […]

I’m Not God-fearing #SoulfulSunday
For a long time, I used to believe that praying means asking God for things. Things that made my life good and happy. Then one day some years ago, I realized if there is a god he or she doesn’t need my telling what I want. God would know everything. Why would I pray to […]
What is the point? #SoulfulSunday
Sometimes I stumble upon this question. After all, what is the point? Because life is so messed up on so many levels and beyond a point, we humans can’t even make sense. Look at the events that transpire in the world every day. There is no rhyme or reason. Why some people are poor and […]
Happy Place #SoulfulSunday
Life is a mix of this and that. Sometimes life resembles a pile-up crash on the highway. But we need to keep moving forward irrespective of how disastrous it appears. To keep moving forward we need to fill our head and heart with happy thoughts and positive vibes. Especially, when our life goes through one […]
The Million Crossroads and life #SoulfulSunday
Had I taken the other road,⠀Might I still be thinking today,⠀Had I taken the other road!⠀ -Vinitha This week I read the book The Midnight Library by Matt Haig. It was a fantastic read.

Sometimes I feel this incredible anger from within. And often it is directed at someone else, originated from some undesirable memory. I’m not saying this […]
What Stops You? #SoulfulSunday
I am a person with many aspirations. I want to be a writer. I want to restart my career in software development. I want to do many more things before the final adieu. There was a time I used to feel sad that I wasn’t working. After a couple of attempts, I went on to […]
Soaked in Silence #SoulfulSunday
This hour of the morning is filled with silence. There is no way to break it. As I enjoy this silent atmosphere my mind brims with silence – untold reciprocity between the universe and its entities. I love the morning silence because that’s the only time I get to experience silence nowadays. I can’t even […]
Fill Your Cup With Gratitude #SoulfulSunday
A few minutes ago I got the news of another loss. Another life lost. Another family pushed to grieve. Another face wiped off from the surface of the earth. It’s becoming a piece of everyday news now. True, people passed away before also. But since the last couple of years, I’ve heard more number of […]
Word of the Year 2021
This is my favorite part – setting a word of the year. It all started back in 2015. 2021 is the 7th year I am doing this exercise. This time I knew what word is going to be my guide in 2021 when December began. The idea is to set a word to help us […]
