What's the best piece of advice you've ever received? Some of the most profound lessons I’ve carried in life weren’t from books or lectures—they were from conversations with my father.

When Home Became Memory
Share a story about the furthest you’ve ever traveled from home. The furthest I’ve ever traveled from home wasn’t measured in miles or airports.

Places, People, Moments: The Beauty of Impermanence
“ But if you knew, you might not be able to see it again tomorrow, everything would suddenly become special and precious, wouldn’t it?” — Kafka on the Shore, Haruki Murakami We move through life assuming continuity—believing the places we love will stay, the people we cherish will remain, and the moments we live will …

Between Culture and Compassion
When a mother has a baby girl, people sometimes respond with comments like, “Don’t worry, maybe you’ll have a boy next time,” as if having a daughter is somehow disappointing.

On the Days That Feel Heavy
“If today feels heavy, carry it lightly. If it feels empty, fill it with the smallest comforts. A warm drink. An uplifting song. Soft clothes. A deep breath. You don’t have to fix today.

So do what your heart wants. Follow it — fully, unapologetically. Say no to anything that doesn’t align with who …
Resilience Isn’t Born – It’s Built.
I used to feel everything. Too much. A shift in someone’s tone could ruin my whole day. One careless word, and I’d spiral into overthinking — questioning myself, replaying conversations, holding on too tightly to things that shouldn’t have held that much weight. I let the world get under my skin — way too easily. …
Carrying You With Me, Always
It feels almost cruel to write this. Cruel that life moves forward when someone so deeply loved is no longer here. On 23rd April 2025, I lost the most incredible man I’ve ever known—my father. My Aba. The kind of parent who wasn’t just a father, but a protector, a guide, and the safest place …
Grief & Love
And just like that, a whole person disappears... No warnings. No goodbyes that ever feel enough. It hits you-how someone who was once your everything becomes a memory you're now left to protect. Their voice becomes a faint echo in your mind. Their presence turns into silence that screams louder than anything else. And in …
My Aba — A Lion with a Gentle Heart
April 23rd, 2025. The day my world shifted. The day I lost not only my father—but my anchor, my teacher, my best friend. My Aba. Even now, it feels unreal to speak of him in the past tense. My heart resists it. How can someone so full of life, love, and kindness simply be gone? …
