We were sitting in silence in my balcony , and sharing a cup , when he finally spoke. “You know,” he said, not looking at me, “some stories don’t end when the case ends. They just… settle inside people.” I looked at him. After all these years, he still knew exactly where to press. “You…

I went to his office for work. That was the plan. Nothing philosophical, nothing profound—just a regular professional visit. His office, perched high above the city, reflected everything he had built: expansive glass walls, immaculate desks, screens glowing with data, assistants moving in and out with purpose. On paper, it was the definition of achievement.…

I used to think ageing was about lines on the face, slower mornings, fewer nights out. Nobody told me that the real ageing happens quietly — inside the heart — in the way emotions soften, deepen, widen. Today, when I look back at the woman I was in my twenties and early thirties, I don’t…

I never imagined that a tiny bulge between two vertebrae — L4 and L5 — would one day bring my entire life to a grinding halt. I had always been the woman who managed everything. Targets, operational work chaos, PhD research deadlines, client escalations, flights between cities, spiritual pilgrimages, friendships that needed holding, family expectations…

The first time I noticed it was not in his words, but in his eyes. We were at a party — light music, over-enthusiastic laughter, clinking glasses to celebrate something unnamed. He was in his early fifties, casually dressed, carrying himself with the quiet compossure of a man who had learned how to survive decades…

I don’t remember the exact day I noticed him, only that one morning he existed differently. We were colleagues—shared meetings, shared corridors, shared deadlines—but suddenly, he also shared my awareness.…

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. As if her body was present, but her mind had stepped out long ago. When I tapped her gently, she flinched. Then she looked at…

I always thought ageing would come with wisdom, calmness, maybe a little grey hair and some joint pain.What I didn’t expect that waking up at 45 feeling like my brain was a browser with 47 tabs open, 12 frozen, and music playing from somewhere I couldn’t find. This wasn’t midlife.This was perimenopause—the underrated, misunderstood hormonal…

I don’t remember when my life stopped belonging to me. Maybe it happened the day I took my first corporate job.Maybe the day I got my first promotion.Or maybe the day I convinced myself that running was the only way to survive. In my adult life , every day morning started the same way—the alarm…
