Dear Zindagi-A letter to life!
#Dear Zindagi, I know you must be thinking, ”Not again!” But fear not! Today, I do not address you to lament or blame you for my own mistakes and misadventures, I write to you today to let you know what I seldom say to you- ”Thank you!” Yes, you heard it right! I want to thank you…not only for the blessings that you brought along my way but also for the tears that taught me valuable lessons. As I look back at the time gone by, I realise that a lot of years have passed and what I am today is nothing but a culmination of the moments and experiences…

The storm inside
Falling down, getting up It matters not, I just carry on. The journey matters, the end shall arrive on its own. Sometimes I lie tamed above a candle Lighting up the path ahead.

The silence at the surface holds within A tempest, a tornado that storms inside.

These are the faces that glow not with conventional beauty, but with strength and resilience and the never-say-die attitude of a woman’s spirit. The calendar features women who survived horrendous acts of acid attack which left them disfigured and physically disabled but failed to break the indomitable will they possess. Bello is Spanish for beautiful and is the name of this calendar which is a part of Stop Acid Attacks campaign by Chhanv Foundation, a non-profit rehabilitation group that helps acid attack…

Greatness in deeds is greatness indeed!
Greatness ain’t what you become it is what you overcome! In this journey that we call life, we cross paths with so many people; some as acquaintances, some as friends, a few as family and a lot that just co-inhabit the planet. We forget many…remember so few. Only rarely do we come across a person whose name can be appended with ‘the great…’- a person who is truly #madeofgreat and touches our life in a way that changes it forever. Greatness, I believe, does not pertain to a single act of heroism or an achievement. It is a part of an individual’s personality- a habit of committing to the right,…
