A scratch on a watch he had kept boxed and unworn sets me thinking about everything we save for a later that never comes: the blank notebook, the meal eaten over a phone, the conversation only half heard.
A rainy morning made me pause and wonder when, somewhere between childhood and adulthood, we began measuring our days by what we complete rather than what we experience.
A journey to Bhopal for an important exam became a memorable experience. What began as a trip for an exam left me with memories that stayed long after I returned home.
Put the phone aside. Reflected on how easily we get lost in scrolling, comparison, and disappointment, and explored the importance of returning to the present and doing what truly matters.
Reflected on how easily we take life’s simple blessings for granted, and explored the importance of gratitude, presence, and living more consciously.
Discussed witnessing passengers mock a young beggar on a train and how it made me reflect on our tendency to see misfortune as something that happens only to others. By reflecting on life’s fragility, explored the importance of humility and compassion.
Discussed my struggle with leaving projects half-finished and how I allowed boredom to disrupt my focus. By looking to the continuous rhythms of nature and the Bhagavad Gita, I explored how I transformed this habit into a spiritual awakening.
Discussed the discomfort and disgust I experienced while witnessing the coexistence of religious devotion and plastic pollution along the banks of the Ganga in Haridwar.
Discussed how living with a pollution allergy in cities like Delhi and Mumbai feels like surviving a slow, state-enabled health catastrophe rather than a seasonal illness. I reflected on how toxic air has permanently altered daily life, turning breathing into a calculation of loss and clean air into a luxury.
Discussed how Delhi’s street food serves as a joyful escape from the city’s chaos in the article I wrote about how I find peace not just in quiet places like Gurdwara Bangla Sahib, but also in the vibrant, spicy flavors of chhole bhature and parathas on the streets of Old Delhi.
Letters to the Editor
Discussed the rise of ‘Bhajan Clubbing’ in The Indian Express, examining how spirituality is being reshaped for mass participation in the age of social media. I questioned whether this spectacle can lead to a deeper, lasting re-engagement with tradition beyond its immediate entertainment value.
Discussed how Parliament’s true responsibility lies in addressing serious national issues through thoughtful debate and consensus, not mere symbolism. I expressed concern over the rushed passage of important laws like the SHANTI Bill without proper scrutiny by standing committees. I emphasised that this weakens democratic institutions and sidelines public interest. I concluded that unless genuine dialogue between the government and Opposition is restored, the legislative process will continue to fail the citizens.
Discussed how the growing reliance on mediation is becoming essential to address India’s overburdened judicial system. I reflected on the staggering pendency of 53 million cases as a clear sign of systemic strain. I acknowledged the Mediation Act, 2023 as an important step forward but stressed that real change requires moving away from a purely adversarial mindset. I concluded that making mediation a mandatory, parallel step before litigation is no longer optional but necessary to ease the pressure on courts.
Discussed how the SHANTI Bill represents a major shift in India’s nuclear energy policy by opening the sector to private partnership and aligning with global standards. I reflected on how resolving supplier liability issues can attract international cooperation, even though it remains politically sensitive. I stressed that India’s real priority should be achieving the 100 GW nuclear energy target by 2047. I concluded that long-term success depends on a skilled workforce and strict safety oversight so that progress never compromises public protection.
