Mental health is a fundamental right; the future of humanity depends on it.

The Archetypal Evolution of Femininity
There are two archetypal patterns, polar opposites, which comprise the existential experience of human beings collectively. These are the light pattern and the shadow pattern, alternatively recognisable as a progressive attitude which tends towards the elevation of consciousness vs. a regressive attitude characterised by the sporadic and compulsive manifestation of the unconscious.

Middle Aged and Autistic
When I was nine years old, I came home from school crying because one of my classmates called me a weirdo. It wasn’t the first time this had happened and it definitely wouldn’t be the last. I cannot even remember what I had done that time. It was “something strange” in a long line of other “strange things” that Natalie did.

Lucky by Lolly Vieira
On February 21, 2020 I found a feather on the sidewalk while walking my dog. As I twirled it in my fingers, I remembered hearing once that it was good luck to find a feather. For a moment, I felt really lucky.

Discussed: National Commission for Allied and Healthcare Professions Bill 2020
The then Union Minister of Health and Family presented a bill in 2018 called the Allied Healthcare Professional Bill. Barring the name of the account, National Commission for Allied and Healthcare Professional Bill 2020, which the Rajya Sabha passed on September 15, is almost the same. The bill has been challenged by health experts and doctors' bodies, including the apex body Indian Medical Association (IMA), on various grounds.

A letter to my young self. Top Story - October 2021.
This is a letter to my young self & all persons who feel the oppressive weight of living under cultural and patriarchal restraint. Especially for those journeys that have been made more arduous due to intersectionality and for those who seek to heal from experienced traumas. It can feel like a lonely road travelled when our song feels dissonant to those around us. When individuality that follows the social norm is what is expected of us. When we are asked to be everything and expected to question none of it. When we keep space with those that do not keep space for us. When we find ourselves seeking other’s approval over our own. When we stop being crafters of our own story, stray from our path, and allow others to dance us along on marionetted strings. When we continue to witness the collective pain of marginalizing policies.

I Am Britney, Too
I grew up in a very nice house in Bel Air. I say Very Nice and not Mansion, because I used to drive the ex-CEO of MTV’s daughter to school and that $12M house was NOT like ours… probably 4x the size, but 1/10th as cozy. So I considered my house ‘better’.

Bad deeds take the lead
The article “Why greed begets more greed” by Michael I. Norton. Published on Scientific American on March 1 of 2014 discusses how a simple act of kindness is capable to leave everyone speechless. Those kind acts of “pay it forward” on a toll, or at a bar, have the ability to completely change our mood. Generosity has the ability not only to make us happier, but also healthier, sound good right? Why don't we give it a chance?

Insanity at its best
Tears rolled down her little pink cheeks. She was hunched over in a ball in the back corner of the hotel's stairwell. If only the school bus would show up, then she could escape the pain at least for a few hours. She was hiding from him, hoping he wouldn't find her in time. She was only four years old but in her mind she felt much older.
