On vulnerability

Being vulnerable in a relationship looks like you’ve got the wrong end of the stick. But it allows you to enjoy rare joys of a relationship. Think about it.

On discerning

Everyone who smiles at you does not necessarily have the best of intentions towards you. Pause, think and then decide.

On time

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven:
A time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot,
A time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build,
A time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance,
A time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain,
A time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away,
A time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak,
A time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.

Ecclesiastes 3: 1 - 8

On miracles, big and small

Most of us look for an earth-shattering, nature defying miracle. But true happiness comes from knowing that each day, each blossom, every gesture of love is also a miracle.

On miracles

You have to believe, to see a miracle.

On persevering

I’ve realized that it is often right at the very end, when we believe we can’t hold on any more, that a breakthrough comes. Of course, most of us miss out because we just don’t hold on.

On love

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

I Corinthians 13:13

On life

Life is rosy for those who look at it that way. Life is thorny for those who expect thorns. It finally comes down to what we want out of life – roses or thorns.

Small insights, big impact

Each day we are touched by several tiny bubbles, bubbles of insights. Bubbles that float unhindered, unarmed and freely. Some of these bubbles rest on us in unexpected ways. Sometimes they come to us in the smile of a stranger, a bird song on a sunny day, a warm touch from our mothers, a gentle tugging of our hands by a toddler, an unexpected nuzzle from a pet. They warm our hearts and leave an unspoken message only for us to hear. This blog is dedicated to those subtle but powerful messages. Happy reading!
