The Mountain Is You
This book is about self-sabotage. Why we do it, when we do it, and how to stop doing it—for good. Coexisting but conflicting needs create self-sabotaging behaviors. This is why we resist efforts to change, often until they feel completely futile. But by extracting crucial insight from our most damaging habits, building emotional intelligence by…
Your Untapped Creativity is your Hidden Step towards Inner Self

On the Times you Feel Down!
We all showcase our happy moments, our moments of victory and pride, but fail to express our low, sad, and embarrassing moments. Why is that? Because we think that it’s a sign of weakness to express our low moments. But in reality, it’s a sign of ultimate strength to recognize your overwhelming emotions and trying…
Musings of a locked down Research Scholar
With everyone talking about mental health these days, I thought I would pen down my experience on the subject. Being a PhD research scholar, I have had my fair share of these demons. I have been a good student throughout my life and was accepted to an elite engineering school as a PhD candidate. My…
Depression is Real
Yes, depression is real. Being sad is not the same as being in depression. Sadness is natural and unique to each individual. Both sadness and depression may overlap, but they differ in many ways. Depression is more than just sadness. It is a common, but serious mood disorder. A lack of interest, sleeplessness or excessive…
Catch and Release- Matt Simons
‘Catch & Release’ is a single by American singer-songwriter Mathew Griffith Simons (Matt Simons). Co-written by Erik Olof Mattaison, the song was released in September 2014. This is an amazingly soothing song even when it talks about coping mechanisms through the struggles in our lives. “There’s a place I go to, where no one knows…
Inevitable Truths
The heart desires remorselessly and the mind suffers- bearing the weight of all the consequences and fretting over the tiniest of things. It’s in these moments you begin to question everything you ever stood for, when your principles are challenged by none other than your own self. What are you supposed to do when the…

International Yoga Day 2020
Here are some splendid words about yoga for us to seek inspiration and get motivated on this International Yoga Day. Yoga is not a religion. It is a science, science of well-being, science of youthfulness, science of integrating body, mind and soul. @amitray Yoga is not just doing some exercise, it is much more. It…
Most Important Things
The most important things are the hardest to say. They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish them, words shrink things that seemed limitless when they were in your head to no more than living size when they’re brought out. But it’s more than that, isn’t it? The most important things lie…
Bloom
How familiar we are with darkness can be quite surprising at times. You sit there and wonder how someone that looks so alive can actually be so melancholic. I believe that this darkness is what sets the right contrast for us to see clearly. But our role doesn’t end there, we don’t just survive and…
വൈറസ്
ഏകാന്തത ഒരു മാരക വൈറസ് ആണെന്ന് പലപ്പോഴും ഞാൻ വിചാരിക്കാറുണ്ട്. നമ്മുടെ അനുവാദമില്ലാതെ തന്നെ, തൻ്റെ നിശബ്ദ ശല്കങ്ങളാൽ അത് നമ്മെ സ്പർശിക്കും.. പിന്നെ, ആരും കാണാതെ, ഒരു വിഷവള്ളി പോലെ..നമ്മളിലേക്ക് പടർന്നുകയറും. അപ്പോൾ ആൾകൂട്ടമൊഴിഞ്ഞു നാം തനിയെ ആകും.. ഈ ലോകത്തിനു നേരെ വാതിൽ കൊട്ടിയടക്കാൻ,.. ആരും കാണാതെ ഒളിഞ്ഞിരിക്കാൻ…നാം പഠിക്കും. ചൂടും കുളിരും നമ്മെ മാറി മാറി പുണരും.. നാം ചുമയ്ക്കും, കിതയ്ക്കും, ശ്വാസത്തിന് വേണ്ടി പിടയും…. അപ്പോൾ, ‘നമ്മളി’ൽ നിന്ന് ‘നീ’യും ‘ഞാനു’മെന്ന…
Broken Ones
Who fixes broken people? Is it only other broken people, ones who’ve already been ruined? And do we need to be fixed? It was the messiness and hurt in our pasts that drove us, and that same hurt connected us at a subdermal level, the kind of scars written so deeply in your cells that…
