Coping with loss and grief

Image
Loss reminds us to hold the present close, to truly see its beauty before it slips away. Death, in its quiet finality, teaches us that nothing lasts forever, and that’s precisely why each breath, each connection, matters. The path isn’t easy, but it’s not beyond us. So live with intention, love yourself fiercely, and honor each moment as if it were your last. Because truly, we never know when the curtain falls. #tillwemeetagainappa#foreverRadza

The Courage to Be Honest: A Reflection on Truth and Self-Respect

“Have the courage to disappoint people if it means being honest.” At first glance, honesty seems simple, just speak the truth. But in reality, truth-telling often carries weight. It can stir discomfort, evoke anger, or reveal realities others may not be ready to face. That’s why many people hesitate. Not because they lack integrity, but because they fear the emotional consequences of honesty. Yet, living in fear of disappointing others is a quiet betrayal of the self. When we shape our lives around pleasing everyone, we risk losing the thread of our own truth. We cannot be everyone’s best friend. We cannot live solely to satisfy the expectations of others. To do so is to invite exhaustion, resentment, and ultimately, a quiet kind of despair, the kind that comes from not living life on your own terms. Each person deserves the freedom to lead a life that reflects their values, desires, and natural rhythms. Even within families, differences in temperament, preferences, and emotional n...

Indian Wedding (Brief)

Indian weddings are branched out into many kinds which differ significantly according to religion, caste, belief or language spoken. Fundamentally, all Indian wedding ceremonies are rich in rituals and traditions with the involvement of a Brahmin priest except for the Dravidian Indian wedding that would be conducted without a priest and mantras but all the rituals carried out will be explained by an elderly in a medium that is understandable to all. The classic musical instrument, “Nadaswaram” will be played throughout the occasion to bring glory and grace to the function. The “thali”-tying ceremony is the most magnificent of all as it is referred as a holy thread by Indians, and this sacred string will be tied around the bride’s neck by the groom with three (3) knots that represent God Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh. “Thali” is also called “Mangalyam” in Sanskrit or “Mangalasutra” in Hindi, interpreted as an auspicious symbol. The string of “thali” could either be in thread or gold and ...

Waste not, want not

Waste not, want not? What do we understand about the statement given above? How do we interpret it? Well, it depends on the eyes of mind that see it. For me, it's a crime and all of us are actively involved in this crime in our daily routines, either consciously or unconsciously. I got to admit that, I am prime criminal of this subject as I waste a lot in terms of food, money, time and more. Yet, I'm at least convinced that I'm aware of what I'm doing. Sadly many of you out there are clueless as it doesn't seem to be that severe. Wasting is becoming a habit-cum-second nature in most of us. This can be prevented if we spend a few seconds thinking how the things that's useless for us may be important or useful for others. After all, any act of kindness wouldn't harm or cost anything. Think for a minute before wasting your food if it could be given to someone else or at least a stray dog which is dying in hunger. Why wouldn't you pack a few bags of ...

How do you express anger?        some show it by yelling,  some by talking back;             hurting people,        some by taking revenge., some by listening to music,       some by reading books.... some by working with art;                and colours,      some by cooking,  some by throwing;         and breaking things up,     some by taking a decision, some by giving punishments,     some by being rebellious, some by keeping quiet,     some by burning calories....  and I?      by practicing laughter therapy..

Expressing a truly exhausted mind ....

Life seems to be over occupied with things lately.      Plans are haywire, yet thoughts are stable, Trying to cope well and adapt what's happening,     Nothing emotional or special, just exhausted. Not fad up, but tired physically and also mentally perhaps,     However, it feels really good,            Kind of a contended feeling, A sense of fulfillment by getting committed to life,          Nourishing awareness of  expanding years of survival, Anticipation of what's next,                            Curiosity on how does it going to be..., Uncontrollable imaginations growing vast within,         Enlightening and vibrant as it could ever be.., Goals shine as the peaks are close ...,       I see lights of blessings and tranquility, Reaching the edge...,       So...
