The Eternal Web Of Blame: Who's Really At Fault?

It might sound harsh, even heartless, but the tragic stampede in Bengaluru following RCB’s IPL 2025 victory wasn’t just a failure of government or team management. It was also a reflection of our collective recklessness—an unwillingness to think critically, a blind surrender to celebrity obsession, and a disregard for basic safety. It's never acceptable to sacrifice your life for a celebrity who, at the end of the day, is simply doing a job—one they are paid crores of rupees to perform—while you, at most, receive a blank wave in your direction.

The Bigger War!

With a growing number of incidents across the Country, mainly in the states of Maharashtra, Karnataka, and West Bengal, where native residents are harassing people from other states to speak only the local language or face dire consequences, the situation has become alarming. Sitting miles away from these places, I can still see clearly that these are politically motivated actions. Many Maharashtrians are condemning such behavior, where Marathi is being forced on non-Marathi speakers.

Raising a Reader!

As someone who picked up this habit later in life, I can say without a doubt: books are the wisest investment - for your children and yourself, too. And if you want your child to get into reading, the best thing you can do is pick up a book yourself. You won’t regret it.

I See Green!

I may not be climbing a career ladder right now, but I’m building something else: patience, perspective, and purpose. That’s not nothing. That’s something. If you’ve ever felt this way, you’re not alone. Sometimes, all it takes is a date, like 23rd May, to spark a flood of memories and emotions. In my case, it reminded me of how far I’ve come, even when it feels like I’m standing still. To my friends reaching amazing milestones: I’m so proud of you. To those quietly navigating life’s turns, like me: I see you.

Surprise! Let's Get Ready for the Chaos...

The mock drills are more of a mockery of the system. Held only for the sake of having them. High time that these drills are upgraded and held in a more practical way to make the individuals confident enough to save themselves and their families in the hours of crisis.

Book Review: My Life in Full

The life of Indra Nooyi - A must-read for every woman who loves to work - outside or inside the home. A revelation about her life - that it was not always easy, she was not plain lucky, how she threw herself completely into learning mode even when sitting at the top of the corporate pyramid, why it is necessary to have a wider view about a company’s decision making, and finally, that it is never going to be easy but is doable.

A Run to Remember - my first 5K!

From M to XL, I didn’t like it. Weight isn’t a problem for me because it makes me look bad; I was never “good-looking.” But it bothers me because many times I feel suffocated and lethargic, which leads to insomnia, bloating, etc. Since last year, I’ve been trying to be regular with walks. There are months when I’m consistent, and then there are months when I don’t step out at all. After February 22, 2025, the 9th of March 2025 will hold a special place in my heart. I participated in a 5K run. Though it was a Fun Run, for someone like me, it was a serious event.

Alimony And Dowry: More Than Just A Simple Yes Or No

The other day, while I was scrolling through my Instagram feed, a reel popped up where a man was asking one question to many women: "Is alimony okay? Why is dowry not okay?" From what I could see, the women he asked these questions to were young and probably unmarried. Even if they were married, these aren't the kind of questions that can be answered with a simple 'yes, alimony is good' or 'no, dowry is bad.'
