‘You are the sky. The clouds are what happens, what comes and goes’ – Eckhart Tolle Of all my personal observations that have fascinated me during this phase, watching the clouds has been a very joyous and highly reflective experience. They seem like accessories that adorn the sky. As though the sky wakes up each […]
Close to two months of lockdown. Off late, you might find that… You are done being positive, you are done being resilient, you are done trying to hold it all together, you are done with trying to understand the virus, you are done trying to figure out when this is likely to end, you are […]
Hello, hello! I wished to propose something: It’s been a month in our homes now.

But what helps even more, is talking about our blessings during this particular phase. Suddenly the energy shifts, and life feels much lighter and brighter. So, I decided to through […]
