- Exorcism - The Indian Way (Part 1): What Ritual Actually Does to the Mind
India has no single word for exorcism. What it has instead is something older, stranger, and more psychologically honest than the word itself suggests.
- Exorcism - The Indian Way (Part 2): The Black Magic Angle
Black magic in India is not just superstition. It is a social language, an economy, a weapon, and a mirror. This is the part of the conversation people avoid.
- Why I Can’t Be Nonchalant
Some people pretend not to care. I never could. A reflection on feeling deeply, loving fully, and knowing when to walk away.
- Moving On, Quietly
Moving on is not loud. It’s slow, silent, and deeply personal. A reflection on letting go while still remembering.
- How Computers Shaped My Life
A story of destiny, manifestation, childhood magic, and the bond with my father that shaped my entire life.
- Losing My Father
One call. One flight. One night that changed everything. A true story of fear, loss, and quiet strength. Grief didn’t end me - it rewrote me.
- Strangers We Never Meet Again
Short reflections on fleeting honesty - conversations with strangers online and in real life.
- Gen-Z Love vs Old-School Love
How modern love scrolls faster than it feels. A reflection on attention spans, ghosting, and what we lost along the way.
- Why I Think Nobody Can Love Me
An honest reflection on loving deeply in a world that moves too fast. A quiet story of self-worth, hope, and staying soft when life gets heavy.
- Loving Her, But the Time Is Wrong
A story of two people whose hearts aligned but clocks did not. When love is right, yet time refuses to listen.
