A Day That Needed No Reason...

Today feels different. Not loud, not dramatic just quietly beautiful. I woke up with a light heart, feeling blissful and happy, though I honestly don’t know why. There is no big achievement, no special news, no reason to celebrate. Yet, I feel blessed. Sometimes, happiness arrives without knocking, and today it chose me. Soft, melodious music played in my ears as I sat by the window. The weather felt pleasant, almost kind, as if the sky itself decided to slow down for a while. The bus journey to college became more than just travel. It felt like a pause button in a fast forward life. Watching people, trees passing by, roadside tea stalls, and children laughing it all felt comforting. Nothing extraordinary, yet everything felt enough. Yes, there are many works waiting at college classes, responsibilities, deadlines, and plans. Normally, these thoughts would tighten my mind. But today, they didn’t. Instead, I smiled at them and let them wait. For once, my mind chose peace over pressure. ...

A Beautiful Pause in the Rush of Life...

Seven days ago, I arrived with strangers. Today, I leave with a family. Somewhere between shared smiles, sleepless nights, and countless cups of conversations, something quietly magical happened I lived. What began as an unfamiliar space slowly turned into a place of belonging. Names turned into numbers on my contact list, and numbers turned into people I know I can call my own. We came from different places, different ages, different stories yet none of that mattered. Age stayed outside the room, and only love, care, concern, and laughter walked in. I gained a lot. I learned a lot. But more than that, I felt a lot. Late night bike rides that made no sense but felt perfect. Entering the campus way past time, only to be lovingly scolded by the gate security (who, I’m sure, secretly enjoyed it). Taking reels for the first time yes, reels! I laughed at myself, laughed with others, and loved every second of it. And then came the surprise I never saw coming my birthday. I never planned to c...

A Short Meeting, A Long Lesson...

The past two days felt like a small fantasy in my life. They were different from my usual days and made me think deeply. I remembered a famous line often said as “Men may come and men may go.” Now I understand how true it is. I believe that the universe has a plan for everything. Nothing happens without a reason. Every person we meet teaches us something, even if they stay only for a short time. During these two days, I met a young man who was younger than me but full of dreams, energy, and hope. He had strong ambitions and a clear idea about what he wanted in life. Honestly, I felt a little jealous not in a bad way. I admired his lifestyle and the confidence with which he lived. His passion made me reflect on my own journey. It reminded me of the fire we all have when we are young and fearless. We shared many things. Some were spoken through words, and some were shared silently through understanding. The time passed quickly, but the moments felt meaningful. Before we parted, I shared ...

2025, A Year That Taught Me to Trust...

2025 felt like a dream beautiful at times, painful at times, but deeply real. When I look back, I don’t see just days and months I see lessons, faces, moments, and silent battles that shaped me. This year taught me more than any book ever could. Learning, however, came with a cost. I paid a lot emotionally, mentally, and sometimes silently from people I trusted, from situations I didn’t expect, and from hopes that didn’t stay long enough. Yet, I do not regret it. I thank the universe not for only giving me happiness, but for giving me understanding. I won’t pray with long requests, because you already know me well. You know what should stay with me and what should quietly leave. You know what strengthens me and what weakens me. With a smile, I accept your decisions. Gratitude fills my heart not because everything went right, but because everything made sense in the end. You gave me moments of joy, and you took some away. You gave me wounds, and you also gave me time the most powerful h...

Travel as a Quiet Healer and the Lessons Beyond the Road...

There are moments in life when the mind feels cluttered not with problems alone, but with questions that have no clear answers. During such times, I have often heard people say, “Travel heals.” Yesterday, I didn’t just hear it I lived it. Travel is not merely about changing locations. It is about changing lenses. When we move away from our routine spaces, something within us loosens its grip. The mind begins to breathe. The heart becomes receptive. Travel, I believe, recharges us not by giving answers, but by reshaping how we look at life. My recent journey to the Guruvayur Temple in Kerala was one such quiet teacher. The temple visit itself was serene, but the real lesson came not from the sanctum or scriptures it came from the road. On my return, my bike suddenly got stuck. No heroic breakdown, no dramatic smoke just enough trouble to make me stand helplessly, staring at the machine as if it would suddenly feel guilty and start on its own. It didn’t. I tried all the expert techniques...

The Art of Being, Not Becoming...

After a long pause, I return to writing not out of urgency, but out of stillness. Today’s blog is born from my solitude. The word solitary often carries a weight of misunderstanding many see it as emptiness, withdrawal, or loneliness. But what I experienced today was none of that. It was, in fact, a quiet kind of bliss. This evening unfolded gently. I was seated by the window of a bus, a familiar route yet somehow new. A favourite song played softly through my earphones not loud enough to escape into the world, but just enough to fill my inner space. The bus moved steadily, as if it knew there was no hurry. Outside, the evening air brushed past, cool and forgiving, carrying with it the scent of routine life tea stalls, tired streets, and people heading home with stories of their own. In that moment, I realised how rare it has become to simply be. No anxiety about what tomorrow demands, no replay of yesterday’s mistakes. No expectations either from myself or from others. Just presence. ...

When a Gym Song Made Me Question My Age...

Yesterday at the gym, something unexpectedly funny happened, and it completely stayed in my mind. I was doing my regular workout when a new Tamil song started playing on the smart TV. I had no idea which movie it was from, or who acted in it. Still, like anyone would, I just turned my head for a second to see the video. That one simple glance became a whole life lesson for me. A guy next to me, without even missing a rep, casually asked, “Anna, elamai thirumbuthaa?” For a moment, I froze. Elamai thirumbuthaa? Me? I didn’t even look at the heroine properly, I just looked at the screen because something was flashing. But suddenly, my small glance became a sign of “youth returning.” I immediately started wondering inside my mind  Have I really become that old? Do people think I’m out of date now? Is my youth something everyone else has to remind me about? Honestly, that single line hit me more than my workout. But after a few seconds, I started laughing to myself. Why am I even worryi...
