  • The year that’s leaving didn’t come gently.It tested my patience, my faith, my strength — and sometimes my sense of self.There were days I felt lost, days I felt invisible, and days I questioned everything I thought I knew about life and about myself. But this year also taught me something precious:I survived things I…

  • What makes you feel nostalgic? Songs… I go a little crazy listening to some of them. Certain melodies instantly take me back to a very specific moment in time. It’s almost like déjà vu—same feelings, same emotions, sometimes even the same ache in the heart. Music doesn’t just play; it transports me. My mother has…

  • How have your political views changed over time? I wouldn’t say my political views have changed — they’ve quieted. Over time, I’ve grown scared of politics rather than interested in it. Not just national politics, but family politics, office politics, everyday power games. I find them exhausting and unsettling. I struggle to understand the language…

  • Share what you know about the year you were born. I was born in Chikmagalur☘️ 🏡 A quiet town wrapped in coffee☕ plantations and misty hills in Karnataka. By the time I arrived, most of the big headlines of the year were already over; the world had already watched men walk on the moon 🌝,…

Pain is not a punishment,it is an invitation.Loss is not emptiness,it is space being made for truth. When the ego loosens its…

  • 🌸🌸🌸 “Nothing in life is to be feared; it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less.”— Marie Curie Understanding this qoute✨ Marie Curie’s quote is about replacing fear with knowledge. When we don’t understand something—change, failure, illness, uncertainty, even people—we tend to fear it.…

  • What cities do you want to visit? Travel, for me, is not about ticking destinations off a list — it’s about how a place makes you feel. I dream of Lakshadweep, where the sea is said to be clearer than thoughts and silence feels healing. Bhopal draws me in with its calm lakes and quiet…

  • Tell us one thing you hope people say about you. I hope people say that I made them feel seen, supported and safe being themselves, even in a world that often feels rushed, noisy and insensitive. 🌸🌸🌸🌸 Today people are overwhelmed with information, stress and uncertainty, so anyone who offers emotional safety and understanding stands…

  • Have you ever performed on stage or given a speech? But I would love to.I want to overcome that stage fear—the blabbering, the shaking legs, the nervous rush that takes over the moment I imagine facing an audience. I’m genuinely scared… but I still want to do it. I look at people who can just…
