I once had a friend…

I once had a friend I used to talk to almost every day. We’ve known each other for a short amount of time, but we clicked on a level that was not easy to explain. We never used to plan when and what we will talk about because it was…

Be Kind!!

“Do you believe in coincidences? Or do you consider everything is predestined, and whatever happens, happens for a reason?” One of my friends asked me a few days back. I was conflicted because, for me, they are not mutually exclusive, I believe coincidences happen for a reason! Many years ago…

The Instruction Manual!

The other day I was assembling my new office chair, but somehow when I opened the box, I couldn’t find the instruction manual. “It can’t be that complicated, I can easily fix a chair!” I said to myself with a smirk! So I started studying the parts, some were round…

I hope you’re doing well!

Three months back if someone would have told me that soon this world would come to a standstill, you won’t be permitted to take flights or go anywhere, bars would be closed, and restaurants would stop hosting people, I would have laughed and thought they are narrating me a story…

Regrets!!

A few days back I met a friend to have drinks at a happy hour. We were sitting at the patio, the view was spectacular, music was hip, and our drinks were just right to help us unwind after a full week of work! Overall, it was a delightful evening. …

Validating our feelings!

The other day, I was browsing thru the TV channels, and somehow I stopped at some kids show where a little girl was sitting with a gloomy face, her teacher asked her, “How are you feeling? Are you feeling sad? Let’s validate your feelings!” Validating our feelings — a concept…

Not your destination!

“We can achieve this! We are better than this! We deserve a life better than what we have!” — When we believe in ourselves, we believe that we have what is needed to succeed. We expect we can do anything to succeed. To achieve our goals, we make a list…

Pretty girls are not nice! — Not really!!

It was not the first time when I got upset with a comment which was said with a sound of a joke but was brutally mean in every sense! “Why people are so blinded by prejudices, why are they so judgmental!?” …

It’s okay to be sad!

Isn’t it lonely for you? Don’t you think it’s depressing to come home to an empty house and eat alone? — Somebody asked me as if they don’t know the obvious answer or maybe they wanted to make sure I’m feeling how I’m supposed to feel! I didn’t say anything…
