Urja, is the very essence of womanhood. It embodies the unlimited energy that women possess. We often talk in terms of woman power but miss the unlimited energy that she possesses.

The reluctant warriors
Recently a student of mine requested me to give my inputs on ‘strength’. He felt that people conveniently juxtaposed the inability to take an action or see it through to results with their being weak. They simply hide behind the excuse that they are not strong enough. Incidentally, I had started writing this post a…
The Fire of Friendship
“Shubh! What should I write about this week? And don’t say, “I have no idea! I’ve done that as well.” Shubham looked around his room and looking at a little curio his friend gave said, “Umm, write about friendship.” “No way, I’m done with it.” “Okay!” He looked around some more and fixed his eyes…

There are likes, comments and personal posts of appreciation on WhatsApp and Facebook and each of them means a lot to me. One common refrain across all remarks is that I write from my heart.I remember having read…
Learning To Let Go
One very good thing with WhatsApp is that one gets unsolicited advice with ardour.

Learning to be Invictus
“Giving up is not on your list, Sona!” reads a comment on my blog. The comment comes from an equally strong woman who luckily happens to be my cousin. And this lesson was taught to me by another cousin when I was in my late teens or had just hit the twenties.I do not want…
