It's an experience, a force that ignites a spark of light in our hearts during moments of darkness, pain, and despair.

The Greatest Punishment in Life: Understanding Yourself
The Greatest Punishment in Life: Understanding Yourself Life is a journey filled with numerous challenges, but perhaps the most difficult and longest road we ever travel is the one towards self-understanding. The process of truly understanding oneself can feel like a heavy punishment, a burden that weighs us down, especially when faced with our deepest insecurities, fears, and shortcomings.

The Other Woman
I don't know if any woman sets out to be "the other woman" - the woman we often see in movies, in books, and on tv whom someone's boyfriend, husband, or otherwise significant other is cheating with. Did any little girl ever dream of being the other woman? I don't know. But I've known a few, and they have interesting stories to tell.

The Power of a Pure Heart. AI-Generated.
The Power of a Pure Heart Life is like a shallow river, constantly flowing through twists and turns, overcoming obstacles along the way. During this journey, negative thoughts, hatred, jealousy, and the ripples of failure surround us like murky waters. Many individuals allow themselves to be consumed by these turbulent waves, losing their true selves. However, some people rise above these waves, keeping their hearts pure, for their intentions are sincere, and their minds remain untainted.

An ode to my wanderlust- my recent travel reflections
The darkness that surrounds the storm is often the most turbulent period of hardships that embellish us into the trance of not knowing what to do. I learnt the lessons of patience, virtue and gratitude from the darkest periods of my life. Life has its ways of embracing us in its wisdom, staggering us into the whirlwinds of challenges and adversities, only to gift us with peonies of hope. Hope can metamorphose mountains of hatred into the galloping beauty of existence that showers us with the narrative of self-belief and confidence. It is often in a wanderlust away from our daily surroundings that we realize the wonder that the world we live in has to offer. Forgiveness after a storm is like accepting the catastrophe without denying the damage it has done. It is painful but necessary to survive, to thrive in our lives.

The Story of a Vietnamese Prostitute
It was one of those hot Saigonese evenings. I was sitting in one of those depraved pubs of Bui Vien Street, having some beers with two Japanese fellow travelers, while watching the motley crowd rambling up and down the road. It was then when, all of a sudden, that cheery, young local girl darted out of the throng, and by the very next instant, had taken the liberty to occupy the vacant fourth chair around our table.

Who Am I?
Who Am I? In the journey of life, we often encounter a deep, introspective question: "Who am I?" As we seek an answer, our ego frequently stands in the way, distorting our perception of reality. The ego, in essence, is an emotional veil, making us believe that we are the most important and that we are superior to others. However, when we take a step back and observe with a clear mind, we realise that there is no real 'I.' We are merely a small, yet significant, part of this vast universe.

"Who Am I?" - The Illusion of Ego
"Who Am I?" - The Illusion of Ego The question, "Who am I?" is a timeless and profound query that every human being contemplates at some point in life. It's not just a philosophical question but a reflection of our innermost thoughts and existence. In seeking its answer, we are often hindered by our ego, a part of our psyche that shrouds our true self in layers of illusion. The ego, in essence, acts as a protective emotional shell, giving us a false sense of identity and importance, making us feel superior to others. But when examined closely, we realise that this notion of "I" is nothing but a mirage, a fleeting concept that does not define our true being. In reality, each of us is a small yet integral part of a vast, interconnected universe.

Even if the World Laughs at Us, a Friend's Hand Should Always Be on Our Back
Even if the World Laughs at Us, a Friend's Hand Should Always Be on Our Back In the grand journey of life, we encounter a myriad of experiences, both sweet and bitter. We achieve success at times, basking in the glory of our hard work, while at other moments, we face the harsh sting of failure. Not every effort we put in yields the expected results, and it is during these moments of failure that society can be the most unforgiving. The people around us often criticise and mock us for our shortcomings, quick to highlight our mistakes and laugh at our misfortunes. Yet, amidst all the criticism and negativity, there is one figure that stands tall above the rest — a true friend who remains steadfast by our side, offering unconditional support and encouragement.

Secrets of OZ
In a land far from our own, beyond the swirling mists of the Emerald City, lies the Kingdom of Oz—a place of magic, whimsy, and secrets. For centuries, it had been a realm where wizards, witches, and extraordinary creatures thrived. Yet, even in a land of wonders, darkness loomed, and the deepest secrets were often the most dangerous.
