Today, I want to share a short and heart-touching story. My cousin is very fond of rearing pets and animals. He has an Indian breed dog, a Golden Retriever named Sara, hens, and cattle—one Indian breed and two hybrids. Earlier, he also had a cage for birds, but now these are the animals he keeps. All of them are usually tied up in the backyard. Even Sara isn’t left free inside the house, as she is extremely inquisitive and often ends up creating a mess. A few days ago, my cousin started letting the Indian breed dog roam freely on the streets, as he was very friendly with everyone. Unfortunately, one day a man crossed his path and began teasing him. Infuriated by the man’s actions, the dog leapt at him and gave a very minor bite. The man came screaming to my cousin with a complaint. Frightened by the dog’s behavior and worried that he might hurt children playing on the street, my cousin took a very difficult decision. He locked the dog up, covered his eyes, took him to a faraway place...

Very tired of carrying all the random thoughts in my head! They’re getting bigger and heavier with each passing day. Sometimes it’s the family, sometimes it’s work. Sometimes it’s a social media post, sometimes it’s my personal choices. Everything feels like it’s stuck on repeat—making me think over and over again and exhausting me completely. It was the same chaos this evening after work. No plans for the next day, the next hour, or even the next minute. Not sure about my next meal either. Just the same random thoughts. I reached my comfort space—no ears around to listen to my endless rants, no comforting words from anyone.

Maybe the timing was right, because I just smiled seeing the name on the screen. We talked and talked for hours, not about anything serious happening in the world—just about all the naught...

I was always fascinated by one major character in the holy epic Mahabharata . I feel that the most deserving individual, yet the one deprived of everything, was the great Karna . He was unjustly punished by everyone, time and again. He was treated harshly for no fault of his own. Yet, the morals in his blood never allowed him to turn into a villain — he always walked on the path of righteousness. I feel so sad whenever I read or watch anything about him. He was abandoned by his own mother, grew up with someone else believing them to be his parents, and was deprived of the education he yearned for because of the lower-caste label. He was treated as a slave by his own clan without even knowing his true origin. He never questioned his birth, never complained about the caste he was adopted into; he simply wanted to prove to the world that an individual’s worth is not determined by birth but by talent and hard work. He wanted to be respected for his skills, not disrespected because of his c...
