    Kahlil Gibran’s Life Hack: Why resistance is pointless in love?

    June 22, 2021 - By 

    It is Part 2 of the series: Khalil Gibran’s Life Hack. Gibran speaks of love in his second chapter on the Prophet. Love is always complicated and messy. It makes you question all of the beliefs you have on your ideology. Love has been here on this Earth for centuries. Poets and writers come and go; they become immortal by writing about love. Though we know love for so long, we still don’t know how to define love. We don’t know what love is not. You can read Part 1 of this series here. A seeress named Almithra, who believed…

    Kahlil Gibran’s Life Hack: How to Move Forward Without Sorrow?

    June 19, 2021 - By 

    Kahlil Gibran’s ‘The Prophet’, an inspirational fiction, is a great reservoir of spiritual experiences. Gibran is notably the third-best-selling poet behind Shakespeare and Lao-Tzu of all time. Khalil Gibran, the Lebanese-American author of this beautiful life hack, is still a literary hero. The writer’s best-selling book ‘The Prophet’ is a deviation from the classic structure of the poem. His power came from some great reservoir of spiritual life else it could not have been so universal and so potent, but the majesty and beauty of the language with which he clothed it were all his own Claude Bragdon You can…

    Elegant Females is a Trap- ‘Do We Need Feminism’ Series

    June 8, 2021 - By 

    Feminism strives harder to break the shackles of patriarchy and gender stereotyping for years. It is time to focus on society’s view on Elegant females. Like men, women also have a certain set of rules and frames when they start growing up. Male and female have to follow certain qualities, characteristics and behaviour to fit into the sex they perceive themselves of. Do you remember the famous “Saatvikam, Prachodakam, and Bhayanakam“ dialogue from the Super Star Rajinikanth’s starring movie Padaiyappa? Apparently, the girls get classified into three categories, as mentioned above. Obviously, Saatvikam is a “marriage material”, while the other…

    Why paperbacks are better: I am surely taking sides

    May 17, 2021 - By 

    What is the first thing you remember when you think about ‘paperbacks?’ Is it about your favourite author? Is it about the last book you read? Or is it about the book you love the most? I remember picking my first paperback book from the British Council Library when I went on a school trip. The criteria for choosing that book: None. Honestly, I went for the book cover and name that intrigued me. Well, I never finished that book until today. I returned it after reading some fifty pages barely. It was my first book experience. Naturally, you might…

    Feminism A-Z: An ultimate guide to the scary F-word

    March 19, 2021 - By 

    Here’s an ultimate guide to driving your fear away about the scary f-word: feminism, feminists and people who voice out for gender equality. You no longer need to hide from feminists or be feared about saying the word aloud if you are one of us. I hope this article explains to you what feminism really is, and serves as a knowledge transfer from me to you. “It took me three years to find that I am a feminist, and it took me another two years to say it aloud.” Feminism is not a subject or theory; it’s a perspective, a…

    The Power of Language: Proven ways to improve child development

    February 17, 2021 - By 

    Certainly, action speaks louder than words. But, do we know the importance of the words, especially in the development of a child? Do you believe in: ‘language shapes thoughts’? If not, why not? There is no single answer for the debate on which came first: thoughts or language. Ludwig Wittgenstein‘s perspective of language, “The limits of my language are the limits of my world,” might sound exaggerated to some of us. Do you know about the indigenous people of Himba Tribe of Namibia or the Kuuk Thaayorre tribe of Aborigine? Language shapes the cognitive abilities subtly, but profoundly, say the…

    Self-care: 4 secrets to know for a healthy lifestyle

    February 13, 2021 - By 

    Self-care and self-love are the two sensational words on the Internet that are so easy to remember, but hard to practice. Knowing and practising self-love is hard, but it is worth it. When we buy an expensive watch or a laptop, how well do we take care of it? If a mere watch or laptop that gets replaced needs so much attention, then, doesn’t body, which serves as a vessel for living needs more care and love? Working hard for so long makes your body tired and exhausted. Every time, I look worn out, I hear suggestions that involve spending…

    Bottom line, does negativity make you a bad person?

    February 5, 2021 - By 

    Are negative people necessarily bad? What sins are they committing to term them wrong? Let’s talk about something that no one talks about often. We always talk about positivity, positive people and the light that they share with others. We rarely think or speak about negativity or negative people. We are not talking about it, not because we don’t have an ounce of negativity in us. It is the other way around. We think by speaking about negativity or negative energy, we get succumbed to a black hole. It’s a common misbelief that thinking about negative energy could take you…
