From Munnar to Muruga, A Road That Rewrote Me...

This was not an educational tour. It was not even a planned escape. It was a pilgrimage quietly intense, physically demanding, and deeply personal. For five days, I walked from Munnar to Palani with my professors, not as a student ticking academic boxes, but as a seeker learning lessons no classroom could offer. Being my third year, I thought I knew the route, the people, and even the pain. I was wrong. The moment we began walking, I realised something powerful this journey was not only about burning calories, it was about burning rubbish unnecessary thoughts, ego, and foolish assumptions that quietly occupy our minds. Yes, my feet hurt badly, but Lord Muruga made the pain lighter than last year, as if reminding me that endurance grows when faith deepens. From misty hills to open landscapes, nature unfolded like a living text wild elephants, bison, deer, rivers, and streams crossed our path. Each sight felt symbolic. Life, too, demands that we pass through wild experiences unpredictabl...

Yesterday Felt Like Coming Home...

Yesterday felt nothing less than magic to me. The day before yesterday, I received a call from the CEO of my college. I was asked to go to Chennai for an official assignment. Without a second thought, I said yes. One reason was respect for the responsibility given to me. The other reason was simple it was Chennai. Not just a city, but another home for me. A place filled with friends, family, memories, and most importantly, my Loyola College. The moment I reached my college campus, something changed inside me. I completely forgot about the official work that brought me there. I went straight back to where my heart belonged with my friends. Sitting in the same old place, eating breakfast at the hostel, talking casually, laughing without reason, meeting staff and coworkers, clicking pictures everything felt untouched by time. Those three years in Loyola were not just about studying lessons. In fact, they taught me much more than books ever could. They taught me what life truly is, how to ...

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...
