I am sure, most of us will either lower our voice, our eyes and get an image in mind when ever the word Kamasutra is mentioned. Even the most modern minds will immediately rush toward a narrow, sensational image—explicit positions, erotic indulgence, or taboo pleasure. This reductionist view has done a deep injustice to one…

I didn’t plan to talk to her.Libraries are silent places, and strangers usually stay strangers. But there was something about the way she stared—not reading, not scrolling, not sleeping—just staring.

“Why do you keep circling back to the same point?” my friend asked, half-annoyed, half-concerned.We were sitting at our usual café corner, both of us pretending to sip coffee but lost in our own minds.

At sixteen, Aanya believed that love meant never letting go. Her world was small then — a handful of school friends, dreams scribbled in notebooks, and a heart that fluttered every time Aarav smiled at her. He was everything she thought she wanted: popular, charming, effortlessly confident. Girls in school would whisper his name with…

Knowing who we really are is one of life’s greatest challenges. Our identities are influenced by society, education, culture, and family from an early age. However, beneath all of those exterior layers is a deeper version of ourselves, our true selves, the things that make us special. For a long time I have wondered :…

In today’s hyper-connected world, we are constantly bombarded by news of success, wealth, happiness, and achievements of others. Whether it’s a peer getting a promotion, a neighbour buying a luxurious home, or headlines about billionaires expanding their empire, these stories can quietly breed discontent in our hearts. Why does someone else’s progress feel like a…
