Hi!


Well, honestly I can't figure out what to write about. So I thought let's just start as we do with a Hi! and go where the course takes us...


Right now, I'm pretty busy, the main reason being that I have busied myself...

As a second year engg. student in a pretty non-descriptive college, I don't know where I'm going and why I am going. I've been lapping up every opportunity I can to gain whatever skills I can and not knowing why. As diverse fields as Advanced programming and management at the same time!!! With my hard work, I know I'll excell at everything but the 'why' still remains unanswered.

Where am I going and what am I doing??? My head feels like it's soon going to burst trying to remind me of all the things that I gotta do or should be doing in the next hour, day, week, month, year... 

With an ultimate aim to be an entrepreneur, I'm still looking for the right set of people who would help me see the way. I mean, I don't want anybody illuminating the path with lights (as it is, it may turn out to be just about as reliable as the Indian electricity boards!) but can't someone just point me in the "right" direction??? And hey, don't preach! I'm too stubborn to accept something if it's not backed up with justifications. Just advise, all the more better if it's a set of people who are journeying with me. Destinations may be different but ships can be the same...

Why do I have to be so damn unlucky when it comes to having a peer group??? Am I the one who doesn't think straight, or is it them? No, I haven't had a fight with anybody, I just haven't met people with whom I can have brainstorming sessions about things I am interested in.

Hoping to meet them soon... coz I need to!

The journey is long, and I can't do it alone...

From memory and mental health to love, regret, and time, this article examines characters, themes, context, and craft while questioning whether the novel still challenges and comforts today’s reader. Why does a novel about one ordinary day linger in your mind for years? This long form review of Mrs Dalloway explores through its quiet power. You will find analysis, critique, history, and personal reflection on why this book continues to unsettle and comfort readers alike. Can a single ordinary day hold an entire life? Have you ever reached the end of a day and wondered where it went, and more unsettlingly, where you went within it?

Spill the Tea: Noor and the Silence After Doing Everything right

Noor has done everything she was supposed to do — moved out, built a life, stayed independent. Yet beneath the neat routines and functional success lies a quiet emptiness she cannot name. Part of the Spill the Tea series, this story explores high-functioning loneliness, emotional flatness, and the unsettling fear of living a life that looks complete from the outside. The verandah was brighter than Noor expected. Morning light lay flat across the tiles, showing every faint scuff mark, every water stain from old monsoons. The air smelled of detergent from a neighbour’s washed curtains flapping overhead. On the table, the paneer patties waited in a cardboard bakery box I’d emptied onto a plate. A squeeze bottle of ketchup stood beside it, slightly sticky around the cap. Two cups of tea, steam already thinning. In one corner, a bamboo palm stood in a large terracotta planter. Thin stems. Too many leaves. Trying very hard to look like it belonged indoors. Noor sat down and pulled the chair ...

Why do we crave bookshops when life falls apart? A deep reading of Welcome to the Hyunam-dong Bookshop

This article reflects on Welcome to the Hyunam-dong Bookshop by Hwang Bo-reum, a gentle novel about burnout, healing, and second chances. Through Yeong-ju and her quiet community, the book reminds you that meaning often returns slowly, through books, people, and ordinary days that begin to feel like home again. Why do so many of us secretly dream of walking away from everything? At some point, usually on a crowded weekday morning or during yet another meeting that could have been an email, you wonder if this is all there is. You did what you were told. You studied, worked hard, built a career, stayed responsible. And yet, instead of contentment, there is exhaustion. Welcome to the Hyunam-dong Bookshop begins exactly at this uncomfortable truth. Hwang Bo-reum’s novel does not shout its intentions. It does not promise transformation through grand revelations. Instead, it sits beside you quietly and asks a gentler question. What if the problem is not that you failed, but that you nev...
