Loneliness has become the most common emotional complaint of this generation. You can have friends, family, colleagues, thousands of followers, and an active social life… and still feel a silent, heavy emptiness underneath everything. But loneliness today is not the old, romantic idea of being alone. It’s not sitting by a window waiting for someone […]
The easiest thing in the world today is to blame technology. Every time society fails, we look for a shiny new villain — something that cannot argue back, something that cannot expose us. This narrative has become a convenient shield that keeps us from seeing the real child stress crisis in India. So now, when […]
Let’s start with a confession: I don’t like dogs. Yes, any dogs. Not your pampered poodle, not your tail-wagging Labrador, not even your adorable Indie rescue. And before you send me hate mail, I’ll say it straight — I’m even scared of them. Don’t know what childhood trauma caused it. Certainly not something a therapist […]
Let’s talk about the world’s most ignored pandemic No, not COVID. Not depression. Not diabetes. I’m talking about stress — the slow, silent serial killer that lives in your body rent-free, ruins your sleep, screws your gut, hijacks your brain, and walks you into an early grave. It’s everywhere. It’s in the workplace email at […]
As a founder, I meet a lot of people. Founders, funders, suit-clad speakers, TED talkers, unicorn chasers, even the occasional philosopher in a Patagonia fleece. Some walk in with energy. Some walk in with ego. And a few… walk in like they’re God’s gift to Earth. Let’s be honest some of them probably are half […]
Never in my 25 years of flying have I seen such mayhem. Will it fly, will it not? Now it’s boarding, now it’s not. There was shouting, screaming, panicky outbursts, troubling arguments between passengers and crew, almost physical punches being thrown (thank God it didn’t come to that). Exactly 17 years since my first trip […]
Suicide is a complex topic, often painted in broad strokes. Yet, I find myself seeing it in shades of gray areas rather than black and white. Let’s unpack this. Firstly, let’s be clear—I’m not here to romanticize suicide or offer it as a solution. No, sir. I firmly believe in extending a helping hand to […]
Rahul Gandhi, the Congress party’s golden boy and self-proclaimed messiah of the people, has yet again graced us with his profound wisdom. In his latest address, Gandhi spoke about ‘Shakti’ in Hinduism. The devout Shiv bhakt probably didn’t know that Shakti in Hinduism is Nari and the power of women. While his intentions may have […]
Ah, the grand spectacle of elections. A time-honored tradition where democracy dances with capitalism in a waltz of vested interests and ulterior motives. Let’s not delude ourselves with notions of noble civic duty; behind the facade of democracy lies a stage where the true players are not the voters, but the investors. Picture this: a […]
IndiGo Didn’t Just Collapse. It Showed Us What Indian Apathy Looks Like at 35,000 Feet
The IndiGo crisis wasn’t about delays. Delays happen everywhere. Heathrow freezes because a server sneezes. America shuts airports every time someone whispers “snowstorm.” Dubai floods. Tokyo gets typhoons. The world survives — this is just world current affairs playing out in modern aviation. India’s problem wasn’t disruption. India’s problem was silence — and that silence […]
