Cutting people off isn’t strength—It is a trauma response

Your ability to cut people off and self-isolate is not a skill you should be proud of—It is a trauma response Cutting people off and self-isolating may feel like a protective shield, but it is often rooted in unresolved or unhealed trauma and an inability to depend on others. While these behaviors seem like self-preservation, they end up reinforcing isolation and blocking meaningful connections. Confronting these patterns, seeking therapy, and nurturing supportive relationships can help break this unhealthy cycle. Plus, a simple act like planting a jasmine plant can symbolise the start of your journey towards emotional healing. Why do we cut people off and isolate?

Legions of Slave Women in the Mahabharata

Awakening to the Bhagavad Gita (series) - 1 For, taking refuge in Me, they also, who, O Arjuna, may be of sinful birth— women, Vaisyas as well as Sudras—attain the Supreme Goal!

The only people of virtuous births are priests — Brahmins — and royal saints, meaning saintly royals, meaning noble Kshatriyas. No wonder then that Yudhishthira — to reinstate whom this whole Mahabharata war has been fought — maintained hundreds of thousands of slave women! Take that number again: hundreds of thousands! He had so much gold, he could afford to. He had so much virtue, but he wanted more! Let's find the facts and figures from Draupadi's own wo...

How to mourn a friend who didn’t die — Just disappeared

A reflective friendship day guide on ambiguous grief and ghosted goodbyes On this Friendship Day, we explore a grief that hides in plain sight — the sorrow of losing a friend who didn’t die but just faded away. This reflective, heart-first guide honours the ache of ambiguous grief, offers healing rituals, and gently walks you through mourning lost connections — without blame, guilt, or pressure to “move on.” Intro Letter: To the friend I lost without a funeral… Hey, It is Friendship Day today. Social media’s buzzing with throwbacks, inside jokes, emojis, and bestie declarations. And yet, here I am, thinking of you . Not because we celebrated Friendship Day together, but because we never got to say goodbye. You’re not gone in the conventional sense. No candlelight vigils. No condolences. You didn’t die. You just… disappeared. And the world tells me to “get over it.” But my heart keeps whispering, “We were *something.*” Maybe we faded. Maybe you ghosted. Maybe life got loud. But there ...
