When Giving is Never Enough: Lessons from the Bhagavad Gita

-
Image
There comes a point in life when you realize that no matter how much you give your time, patience, care, or support it never feels enough. You offer your voice, your silence, your help, and your presence. And yet, it doesn’t fix the situation, it doesn’t change the other person, and it doesn’t leave you fulfilled either. The Bhagavad Gita doesn’t ask us to stop caring it asks us to awaken. It reminds us that some desires are endless by design: the more you feed them, the more they grow. When your worth becomes tied to how useful or available you are, you unknowingly lose yourself in the name of goodness. What the Gita Teaches About True Giving Act without attachment to results: Krishna’s words to Arjuna are timeless you have the right to action, but not to the fruits of action. This doesn’t mean becoming robotic but choosing what is right over what is pleasing. Real selflessness comes without the need for validation. Boundaries are clarity, not selfishness: Saying “no” doesn’t make you...

Are We Losing Balance In the Name of Equality?

Why the Youth Must Rethink the Noise Around Marriage, Masculinity, and Modern Liberation When the pendulum swings too far in one direction, even balance begins to look like injustice.  — Rollo May, Existential Psychologist Marriage in India has always been more than a personal choice. It’s a sacred social contract, a cultural cornerstone. Generations grew up believing in it not as blind submission, but as a partnership rooted in trust, sacrifice, and patience. But lately, a powerful wave is shifting that belief especially among young, urban minds consuming content that sells freedom over commitment, individualism over interdependence. One such example is a recent article titled “ Marriage is dying in India, and women are glad it is. ” While it's important to hear different voices, we must pause and ask: Whose truth are we hearing? And what is the cost of believing only one side? Then and Now: What Changed? Traditionally, Indian households operated on clearly defined roles. Men earn...

14 Reasons Why You Should Date A Man Who Is Family-Oriented

-
Image
 People are not cut and dry. Everyone behaves differently in a relationship, and it can often be difficult to attribute certain characteristics to life circumstances. However, I have personally found that strong family ties inspire a unique kind of relationship conduct that extends past the family circle. There’s something special about being with a family man. When the going gets tough, he won’t get going. A guy who is very close to his family understands commitment at a deeper level. If you undergo hardship in your relationship, he isn’t one to just call it quits and leave. He understands that relationships aren’t always easy because he has continued to maintain a strong one with his family throughout his whole life. He knows how to compromise, and sees the bigger picture. He’s supportive of you and what you love, even if he doesn’t enjoy it himself. Being close to one’s family means attending loads of soccer games, family reunions, dance recitals, graduatio...

7 Boundaries Every Man Should Set With Female Friends

-
Image
Have you ever found yourself in a friendship that felt a bit off, but you weren’t quite sure why? Or perhaps someone once told you, “Dude, you need boundaries,” but you shrugged it off thinking, “We’re just friends—boundaries aren’t necessary.” I used to think the same way. It turns out, though, that healthy boundaries are crucial for any friendship, including the ones we have with female friends. I’ve learned a lot about boundaries the hard way—through late-night conversations that got too personal, mixed signals that led to awkward confrontations, and emotional entanglements that left both parties confused. Not to mention, I’ve done my fair share of reading on psychology and relationships, which consistently underscores the importance of knowing where healthy limits begin and end. So, in this post, I want to walk you through seven boundaries every man should consider setting with his female friends, based on psychological insights and personal experience. Ready? Let’s dive in. 1. Be ...

Daughters

A pregnant woman asks her husband: "What are you expecting, a boy or a girl?" ” The husband replies: "If it's a boy, I'll teach him math, we'll work out together, teach him how to fish, etc." ” The woman, laughing, asks: "What if it's a girl?" ” The husband smiles and says, "If it's a girl, I won't have to teach her anything." She will teach me everything: how to dress, how to eat, what to say and what not to say. Very soon, she'll become like a second mom to me, and even without doing anything special, she'll always consider me as her hero. She'll understand when I tell her no and she'll still compare her future husband to me. No matter how old she gets, she will always want me to treat her like my little princess. She'll fight for me against the world, and if anyone hurts me, she'll never forgive them. ” The woman, a little intrigued, asks: "You mean your daughter would do all thi...

But your business needs them, and they need you, and when you get to understand and know creative people, gain their confidence and respect, then extraordinary things happen.

The Silent Weight of Unspoken Goodbyes

-
Image
There’s a particular ache in goodbyes that are never spoken. It isn’t just the parting it’s the silence that lingers, the unanswered questions, the unfinished conversations. These moments leave us suspended between the comfort of what was and the uncertainty of what could have been. We all want closure. We want reasons, explanations, and clarity that let us move on easily. But life doesn’t always offer that. As Seneca wisely said, “We suffer more often in imagination than in reality.” Our own need for certainty can deepen the pain. When someone leaves without explanation, it’s easy to spiral replaying conversations, wondering if we could have done something differently. But not every story ends with neat answers. Some chapters close abruptly, asking us to face ambiguity rather than avoid it. Marcus Aurelius reminds us, “You have power over your mind not outside events.” Unspoken goodbyes force us to realize that closure is something we create within ourselves, not someth...
