We chase the outcome, self love, peace, forgiveness, while ignoring the input that produces it. Self love is a byproduct of self-trust. Letting go is a byproduct of building. Forgiveness is a byproduct of outgrowing. Focus on the action, not the outcome. It works, invariably.
Wealth comes in many forms. Before you rebuild a bank balance, name the assets no one taught you to count, a love of learning, delayed gratification, an eye for craft, and the rituals that steady you under pressure. These are not sentiment. They are what actually rebuilt mine, twice.
Money is a powerful tool, but it should never become your identity. In this personal reflection, I explore the two money traps of having too little and having too much, and how redefining my relationship with wealth helped me find something far more valuable than financial success: freedom and peace.
Rebuilding financially after a major loss can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re starting over with responsibilities and uncertainty. In this personal story, I share how I rebuilt my financial life after becoming a single mother, the mistakes I made, and the five money lessons that transformed my relationship with wealth. From learning to pay myself first to understanding that financial freedom is really about having choices, these principles helped me move from survival to independence. If you’re wondering how to rebuild financially after divorce, job loss, or any life upheaval, I hope my journey offers both practical guidance and hope.
Yes, you can hold profound grief and everyday joy in the same day. Joy does not betray what you lost. With time the grey becomes the backdrop, and the small yellows, a line of sun, a cup of tea, look brighter against it. The question: can you let it bloom?
We celebrate the self-made. The older I get, the less I believe in them. “I built this myself.” We celebrate these words. We put them on magazine covers, repeat them in commencement speeches, admire people who seem to have risen by sheer force of will. But the older I get, the less I believe in […]
When rebuilding after loss focusing one oneself is the best way to move forward. Small consistent habits pay off.
I have been dancing since I was five. Not as a hobby. As a practitioner who has organised life around it through every season. Education. Deaths. Motherhood. Rebuild. Someone once told me no one cares if you don’t dance. It was the most liberating thing I ever heard.
We are often raised to define ourselves in reference to others. But true individuation means choosing from within-free of borrowed guilt or irrelevant ambition. When we discern who we are becoming, we grow from our own rhythm, not another’s narrative.
We all carry both light and shadow: kindness and insecurity, confidence and fear. This reflection explores the beauty of contradiction and how embracing our inner duality leads to deeper healing. Just like midnight walls and ivory ones, both belong. You’re not broken. You’re human. And that’s enough.
Most of us are performing love, not living it. We keep peace. We avoid discomfort. We shut down difficult conversations. We suppress anger. We are taught to behave a certain way if we want to be loved. But that is not love. That is polite survival. Real love is not a performance. It is a […]
Control vs Care: A Quiet Struggle for Mothers and Women If you are a woman and a mom, there’s always a fine line between control and care. We love control and yes, it often overlaps with care. It feels empowering, productive, even noble. But the truth is it rarely allows for moments of authentic connection. […]
We live in a culture where pain endurance is a virtue. Especially if you belong to a middle-class Brahmin household like I do, endurance is almost celebrated. The more you endure, the more virtuous you are seen. Enduring disrespect, emotional starvation, the absence of love or harmony, all of this gets woven into your story. […]
There is ongoing debate about whether an obsession with physical fitness is beneficial or harmful. Like any extreme behavior, excessive focus on fitness can have its downsides. However, from my own experience and observation, I have seen that physically fit individuals tend to handle difficult situations with greater resilience and less stress. The connection between […]
Some losses are final and definitive. A death. A separation. A sudden shift that takes something away for what you believed it to be. Others are more insidious. They don’t just take. They erase. Smudge , create self doubt making you wonder who you are. Grief doesn’t just bring pain. It brings a quiet destruction […]
When I became a single parent, the pain of that identity transformation was overwhelming. Staying focused on the good amidst such turmoil felt almost impossible, especially when there was no agreement on the causes of the breakdown. Accepting the situation was one step forward, but how does one handle the negative interactions or those deeply […]
The journey of healing and courage is rarely linear. After the loss of my firstborn son, the courage to have another child became an emotional battle. I needed to find a way to battle fear of death amidst grief. Coming from a traditional Brahmin community, I was advised to perform specific rituals or pujas. While […]
Let’s Get Real Most of us cling to our pain like a worm in dung, not because we want to, but because it’s familiar, and we’re damn good at living it over and over. We have an extraordinary ability to endure suffering, but here’s the kicker: that strength pales in comparison to the courage it […]
Dance has been a part of my life since I was five years old. Over the years, I’ve written about its ability to create an anchor, a sense of belonging, and the refinement of aesthetics. But its most profound gift to me has been its role in my journey through grief. It held me steady […]
Emotional resilience is the ability to bounce back, rediscover joy, and create light even in life’s toughest moments. It doesn’t happen overnight, it’s built through small, consistent actions that nurture your inner strength. Here are five effective ways to cultivate emotional resilience and regain your balance. Resilience starts with savoring life’s smallest pleasures. Make a […]
