Today, my obsession was with a rusty old medal that my grandma once passed on to me. I remember it vividly. The sadness and pride I saw in my grandma’s eyes, how delicately she carried it and handed it over to me – a piece of her memory of my grandpa, a piece of him that she saved all those years, among a few other knick-knacks.

This winter, I finally saw just how much my life had changed. The place I once called home— 8,000 kilometers away, where I was born and spent most of my life before leaving for Berlin five years ago — had long been an anxiety trigger, haunted by the ghosts of my past. But this time, returning with fresh eyes shifted my perspective. For the first time, I was tirelessly committed to my mission: to turn all sorrows into happiness.

Lately, the cloud of my busy thoughts was not leaving enough space for any fulfilling hobbies. So I started consuming more content on “mental health”; some days, a lot more. And at the end of the day, I let it … Continue reading a little reminder

“So, how’s life going?” – a casual question my friends and acquaintances throw at me quite often, and the one that I find difficult to answer. I usually say, “it’s fine”, or “everything is good”, but later I wonder if I lied to them. Life is going well compared to how it was before, but apart from that, I lack a measuring system to determine how good or bad life is; one that is not focused on the past. Maybe it is the same for many! Sometimes my mind rushes through the wild opportunities that lie Continue reading “Things You Don’t See on the Surface!”
Life is not a steady race. There are a lot of ups and downs, and they are scary! One day, you think everything is on the right track, things are going smooth, then all of a sudden, things fall apart, and if you want to keep moving, there is only one choice, keep fighting… What if we try to understand what the current situation is trying to teach us before blaming it on something, or slightly distracting us from the thoughts by Continue reading “‘When Things Fall Apart’ – How Pema Chödrön explains Clarity along with Confusion.”
It has been a while since I wrote something about my life. So it makes sense to spill all of the random (yet valid) thoughts that I kept to myself for months. My 9-months-long “master’s thesis” preparation time is the excuse that I have for my absence from my usual creative projects such as blogging but I was trying to concentrate on that particular project the whole time and to be honest, I also lacked Continue reading “Chapter 13: Mental Health Check!”
There are those songs that just melt within your head. Those which are so delicate yet scream something so deep and relatable. It’s hard not to play them on repeat. Novo Amor’s Anchor is doing that magic to me for a while now, makes me wanna close my eyes, and forget about the world for a while. The genre of music here is Indie, and Continue reading “The Music That Makes You Forget The World For A While: ‘Anchor’ by Novo Amor | What Does The Song Say”
