I Tried to 'Outsource' My Love for My Parents With Expensive Superfoods. It Was a Disaster.
There’s a unique brand of guilt that settles in when you live far away from your aging parents. It’s a low, constant hum in the background of your busy life. For me, living in a bustling city with a demanding career, that guilt was a constant companion. I couldn't be there to cook them a meal, to drive them to a doctor's appointment, or to simply sit with them on a quiet afternoon. So, I did what any tech-savvy millennial would do: I tried to automate my love.

Things I Wish I Could Say at the Dinner Table
Dinner tables in brown households are their own kind of theatre. Everyone has a role: the talkative uncle with endless stories, the aunt with unsolicited advice, the parent who slips in reminders about grades or weight, the sibling who tries to disappear into their phone. And then there’s me, the one quietly calculating which version of myself will cause the least chaos.

I Raised My Sibling — But No One Raised Me
There’s a strange ache that comes with being the eldest in a brown household. You’re born into a role you never signed up for, and before you even realise it, you’re balancing two identities: a child in your own right and a substitute parent for the one who came after you.

The Shoes by the Door
There’s a row of shoes lined up by the front door. Tiny sneakers, worn boots, a pair of running shoes with scuffed soles. It’s an ordinary sight—one I used to walk past without noticing.

A Mother’s Final Gift
Life has a way of teaching us lessons in the most unexpected moments. Some lessons come through struggle, others through love, but the most unforgettable ones often come as a gift—a gift wrapped in words, silence, or a fleeting touch.

Amina and the Magical Talking Adventure
Amina and the Magical Talking Adventure BY: Ubaid In the small village of Chamanpur, Hyderabad, there lived a sweet little girl named Amina. She was known for her kind heart, respect for her parents, and love for her teachers. Everyone in the village admired her good manners and gentle nature. However, Amina had one habit that troubled everyone around her—she talked constantly. No matter where she was or what she was doing, Amina could not stop talking. Her parents, teachers, and even friends tried to advise her to speak less, but she simply couldn’t help herself. Talking seemed like a part of who she was.
