Cravings: A problem with Vocabulary, not Character
The Wisdom of Cravings: Why Your Body Keeps Asking for What You're Not Giving It There is a conversation happening inside you right now that you probably don't know about. Your brain is talking to your gut, your gut is talking back, and both are trying desperately to get a message through to you. The problem isn't that they're not speaking. The problem is that we've forgotten how to listen. We often wage war against our cravings, viewing them as signs of moral failure, a lack
The High Cost of Cheap: How Our Quest for Discounts Is Poisoning Us All
There's a cheap poison running through our lives today, and we have only ourselves to blame. It comes from the choices we make every single day, often without a second thought. Think about it. When you go to buy onions, apples, kiwis, mangoes, or even a car, what are you really looking for? Most of us are hunting for something cheap. Oh, we dress it up in fancier language. We talk about "return on investment" or "optimal pricing." But strip away the jargon, and what remains i
Apoptosis: The Selfish 'Selfless' Act of Love and Sacrifice
Let’s talk about a concept that sounds almost morbid at first: cellular suicide. In the scientific world, we call it apoptosis. But as we peel back the layers, you’ll find it’s one of the most beautiful, philosophical, and profoundly selfless acts that keeps us alive every single day. So, what is apoptosis?

Are You Investing in Disease? The Hidden Cost of Saving for a Rainy Day
In my previous blog, I touched on anxiety, specifically chronic anxiety, not as a disease but as a neural circuit that enslaves us for its own survival. If I am suffering from anxiety, that means I am anxious. I am the one doing the anxious feeling. But here is the thing about chronic anxiety, the kind that lingers and poisons everything. You are not actually anxious. Not really. What happens is that anxiety descends on you like a fog rolling in. And as it settles, different
The Real Wealth Equation: Why Managing Desires, Not Money, Is the Secret to a Happy Life
We spend so much of our lives chasing money. We calculate returns on investment, track our savings, and strategize about how to maximize every rupee. We put our effort there, believing that this is the path to wealth and security. But if we stop and look at money for what it really is, a fascinating realization emerges. Money has value only because we collectively agree to give it value. That is all. It is paper, metal, or digital entries with no intrinsic worth beyond what w
The Grief We Own: A Reflection on End of Life, Loss, Letting Go, and the Selfishness of Sorrow
We often find ourselves in the midst of loss, searching for the right words, the right feelings, the right way to process an event that feels inherently wrong. But if you listen closely to the laments of the grieving, you begin to notice a subtle, profound truth. The tears we cry are rarely for the one who has departed. More often, they are for ourselves. Consider two very different ends to a life. In one scenario, a family gathers around a loved one in a Critical Care Unit.
