 Silent days Tensed days Frustrated and helpless days When zoom out, ours are far better... many are struggling for years!! 😔

Lee is not someone who easily explains what he carries inside. There’s a quiet heaviness in him—something unresolved, something that lingers even in his calmest moments. He had been searching, not actively, but somewhere deep within, for a soul that could understand without too many words… someone who could simply feel. And then, Anna came into his life, unexpected, unplanned. She didn’t arrive with promises or intentions. It just happened. A conversation, a moment, a connection… and suddenly, Lee found in her a rare kind of presence. She listened. Not casually, but with sincerity. She consoled him in ways that felt natural, not forced. With her, he didn’t have to explain everything, she just understood. For Lee, that meant more than he could ever say. But Anna is not just that gentle presence for him, she is also a person with her own world, her own emotions, her own limits. There are moments when she feels overwhelmed, when his messages come like waves she cannot always hold. And in ...

  There was a time when the world around him slowly began to shrink. Not because the world itself had changed, but because people had. Conversations became fewer. Friends faded into memories. Life slowly reduced him to roles — a worker who earns money, a name on responsibilities, a “husband” by label, but rarely a person whose heart was heard. Days passed quietly. He stopped expecting calls. Stopped waiting for messages. Stopped explaining his silence to anyone. He tried to live simply — working, reading, keeping himself busy. Not because he was peaceful, but because it was easier than answering the painful question inside him: “Who is really there for me?” At times he tried to reach out to the world again. Dating apps, new conversations, random connections — but everything felt like noise. Nothing real. Nothing warm. Old memories of friends… Moments with people he once cared for… Short-lived romances… All of them existed only as distant shadows of another life. Yea...

Across Distance, Into Love.. Anna and Lee never planned to meet each other. It began as a simple conversation on WhatsApp — a message sent casually across countries, across time zones, across lives that had nothing in common except curiosity. At first, they spoke like strangers do: polite questions, careful replies, small laughter hidden behind emojis. Days turned into weeks, and conversations stretched longer into the night. Somewhere between “How was your day?” and “Did you eat?”, friendship quietly took root. They shared stories — childhood memories, fears they never told others, dreams that felt too fragile to say aloud. Anna found herself smiling at her phone more often. Lee waited for her messages like they were small pieces of sunlight in ordinary days. Without realizing it, they became each other’s comfort. Then life offered an unexpected chance. Lee learned he would be traveling to the country where Anna worked. It wasn’t planned for love, yet love pushed him forward. He booke...

It was one of those long, tiring travel days, wrapping up work, packing in a hurry, rushing through the metro, airport bus, and juggling a Teams call in between. All I wanted was a quiet moment and a cup of coffee. Finally, I settled down with my movie, trying to relax before the flight. Then came the sudden gate change. IndiGo’s chaos over the past weeks shows why India must avoid monopoly-like dominance and push the government to invest seriously in infrastructure and transportation so such disruptions don’t cripple the entire system. I moved along with everyone else, noticing how busy people were with their phones. A usual thought came to me: it would be nice to meet someone new… someone to talk to. Usually all my thoughts, ideas, frustrations, tensions all are penned as blogs. I continued watching my movie, and in a simple moment, I just asked the lady next to me whether there had been any announcement. That small question changed the whole evening. We started talking…...

എന്താണ് നമ്മളെ നമ്മളാക്കുന്നതു? ചറ്റുമുള്ളതും ചുറ്റുമുള്ളവരുമാണ്. സുഹൃത്തുക്കളും, അവരുടെ സുഹൃത്തുക്കളും ഒക്കെ ചേർന്ന്, ഭക്ഷണം കഴിച്ചും, കഴിപ്പിച്ചും, ചായ കുടിച്ചും, യാത്ര ചെയ്തും, കഥകൾ പറഞ്ഞും കേട്ടും  ..ഒരു കൊച്ചു ലോക നിർമ്മിതി, അല്ല ഇത്തിരി വലിയ ലോകം തന്നെ ഉണ്ടാക്കിയെന്ന് പറയണം, ഡൽഹിയിലെ ചെറിയ കാലം. ഡൽഹിയിലേക്ക് താമസം മാറിയതിനുശേഷം, എനിക്ക് ചുറ്റും ഒരുപാട് മാറ്റങ്ങൾ സംഭവിച്ചു -  തകർന്നു വീഴുന്ന പാലങ്ങൾ, രാഷ്ട്രീയ ശബ്ദങ്ങൾ, വെള്ളപ്പൊക്കം, മലിനീകരണം, വിമാനങ്ങൾ റദ്ദാക്കൽ,  രൂപയുടെ മൂല്യം ഇടിയൽ പോലും - എന്നിട്ടും എങ്ങനെയോ ഞാൻ പ്രതീക്ഷിച്ചതിലും വേഗത്തിൽ പൊരുത്തപ്പെട്ടു.  ജാമിയയിൽ നിന്ന് ഗുരുഗ്രാമത്തിലേക്കുള്ള ദിവസേനയുള്ള നാല് മണിക്കൂർ യാത്ര, സംസ്കാരങ്ങളിലും യൂറോപ്യൻ സമയ  മേഖലകളിലും ജോലി ചെയ്യൽ, ജീവിതത്തിന്റെ തികച്ചും പുതിയൊരു താളവുമായി പൊരുത്തപ്പെടൽ എന്നിവയെല്ലാം  ആദ്യം തീവ്രമായി തോന്നി, പക്ഷേ മാറ്റം സ്വാഭാവികമായി. നല്ല ആളുകളെയും, നല്ല സംഭാഷണങ്ങളെയും, കുടുംബത്തിന്റെ ഒരു അന്തരീക്ഷത്തെയും ഞാൻ ഇവിടെ കണ്ടെത്തി.  ഗുൽമോഹറിനും  സുകൂനിനും ഇടയിൽ  ബിരിയാണ...
