For better or for worse, relationships reveal the core of the human condition.
Finding Connection In A Disconnected World
If you want to have more ease in your relationship, vulnerability is an important piece of the pie. This isn't easy, especially if you've already been operating a certain way in a relationship. It will take some focus and hard work to make a change, and both of you will have to want it.

Will The Omicron Variant Be The Proverbial "Last Straw" That "Breaks" Us?
Just when we thought that the worst is upon us and we have resumed our pre-pandemic way of living and working, the Omicron variant is making its presence felt, and that too, how!! Right from even vaccinations not being effective, to its high transmission rates, and with no known treatment that is effective against this variant, the Omicron variant comes at a time when hope was rekindling. Moreover, the West, which was in a self congratulatory mode, having achieved high vaccination rates, now finds itself confronting the scourge again, and that too, bang in the middle of its annual holiday season. Indeed, Santa Claus has been interrupted!!, and Christmas ruined with the possibility of 2022 witnessing yet another round of lockdown.

India Is Going Down A Deep, Dark, Genocidal Rabbit Hole, Decades In The Making
Much like the fictional character, Alice in the all time popular children’s fiction tale, Alice in Wonderland, there is much that is foreign and unfamiliar about “New India”. This is a country barely recognizable from what it was even a few years ago, or a decade at the most. From open calls for genocide against minorities, to the very unreal contradiction of headline management proclaiming the country as a superpower, to the pathetic on the ground realities, a disorienting and disassembling bizarre feeling takes over whenever we attempt to analyze what’s wrong with the nation. Of course, as the cliche goes, “we reap what we sow” and the present rut that India finds itself in is the culmination of decades of apathy and self serving policies perpetuated by whoever was in power, no matter the “ideological color” that they belonged to. As genocide becomes a reality, what with Millions of Mutinies (to paraphrase the late V S Naipaul, the great writer of Indian origin), taking place everywhere, there is a nagging sense that we are approaching a tipping point that can very well swing the popular mood and take us all down the rabbit hole of violence and god forbid, a civil war.

Memories of a Backyard Hanging
In finding some forgiveness of loneliness, and with a strange acceptance of suffering, I can now look back on it all with a dim understanding. It happened at a time when creativity existed within me at an exhausting level. There was a maddening frenzy in the way things came out of me, pouring with sympathy, yet offering nothing.

Silence Isn't Simple
Silence isn’t just a simple definition of “zero sound; no outright noise; or the moment before your child lets out the random scream that sends your heart irregularly palpitating for whatever reason… maybe it’s the PTSD, possibly just the generally skittish nature of the morphed group of cells, blood, bone, and hair that is holding your beautifully and intricately designed brain in its place?

Let’s get back to the roots. What even are Emotions? /Part 1
It’s Christmas time, I’m chilling all by myself binge-watching Hawkeye (The new Marvel tv-show), with some delicious snacks and peaceful silence, excited about every episode I start. What could I ask for more? Suddenly out of nowhere, I had this confusing yet curious thought. Why am I excited? and what is excitement in the first place? Is it an emotion? What even are emotions? I don’t know, but like every like-minded introvert does. It’s time to get to work to try to answer this question that many scientists have tried to answer a long time ago.

10 Facts about Moving
1. Moving sucks. I already knew this from moving out of dorms and my parents’ house. Moving is a necessary evil in life if you don’t want to be stuck in the home you grew up in. That doesn’t make waking up the next day to a house full of boxes any easier.
