This is the happiest marriage I can think of… the marriage between your body and soul. Undeniably, one cannot thrive without the other. It does not need any reiteration that a healthy body is a prerequisite for professional success. Food not always as per your taste but customised to heal, sustain and build your body…
My Very Own Idea of God
It is often said that Man (here man is gender neutral) is the supreme creation of God. There are many pointers to this observation. Let us begin with the most obvious – the physicality. In the images of God (gender neutral again) that we worship, our God looks the most stunning version of ourselves. This…
Busting gender stereotyping @ Sanju Barai
I start with a disclaimer. I don’t know Mr. Sanju Barai personally, yet. And none has asked me to write this post on him. I watched one of his insta reels a couple of days back and got hooked. I watched more and then some. Mr. Sanju Barai is a teacher in a governmet school…

It was the Kalbaishakhi Saturday on 22nd May, 2022. I was barely out of my workplace premises when strong gusts of wind hit me. The sky was rapidly turning dark and the wind continued to assail. I considered going back to my workplace for shelter but then decided against it. The sudden drop in air…
#My question: Pallavi De’s suicide #My question: SSR’s suicide

Pallavi De, a television actress from Kolkata committed suicide on 15 th May, morning. Her body was found around 9.30-9.40 am. Correct me, if I am…
When you feel unsettled, immerse yourself in the mundane
Sometimes we are stressed and cannot particularly identify the reason. We feel unsettled. Maybe there are many things that are currently contributing to our stress, but unfortunately we cannot do a thing about it. As they say, it is beyond our control. In such a situation, if we immerse ourselves in mundane activities, it helps….
