Blog postWhere do I start? What would be the perfect word, the perfect sentence, that phrase which fits, to start writing this letter? I can’t seem to find an answer.
Just like I can’t seem to find an answer to so many questions right now? Why did you leave us? Why so suddenly?
For the last 31 years, when I was lost like this, it was you, baba, who gave me answers. Now who do I ask these questions?
Whenever something good or bad happened, you were my first call. Whenever I was -
Blog postPresent
His hands were shaking from within but he kept them firm. He did not want her to slip, twist a small muscle, did she even have muscles, he thought. He was in a completely overprotective and defensive mood, but hey!, to be fair - he was holding a newborn baby for the first time. And this baby was his. He did not know how to feel.
Just a few minutes ago, he had seen his baby come into this world. That visual scared him. Not the medical aspect of it, but the future that w -
Blog postMost of us live every minute of our short life to survive. Between our careers, friends, family and amusing us with some form of entertainment, we do not realize that few actors of democracy & anti-democracy cuff us to maintain power."India, the world's most populous democracy dropped from Free to Partly Free status in Freedom In The World 2021." When I saw this headline, my curiosity peaked as to what entailed in the article and who was behind the report that smacked my home co

Blog postFriday, October 2 marked one of the most significant days since the world learned the concept of pandemic. As if the fear, uncertainty, and chaos were not enough, the world woke up to news of POTUS and FLOTUS being tested positive with COVID-19. The messages with mixed reactions from over the world started pouring in.
Best wishes, prayers for quick recovery came from allies like NATO countries, India. In comparison, some top-level officials from countries like Iran and China mocked Tr -
Blog post,One more day, one more shooting, few more protests, few more arguments in media – today, that is just a regular American day. (Image by James Rajaste)
As an ambitious kid from India, I have fancied about the American dream more than I should have. Growing up, America was the country to be in – be it for studying, working or just living a full life (…if that is a thing these days). The portrayal of a beautiful America in a sell-out media, from the high-roaring buildings or the lush g -

After hours of discussion, back and forth, we gathered the courage to go out for an ice-cream in the evening. It was our anniversary. Last five years, we had always celebrated the anniversary in Florida (except 2019, where we took a trip about a few hundred miles further south to Cancun). This year leaving Toronto was out of the question. But we thought we could at least go out for dessert instead of celebrating on the sofa. We can trust our gov -
Blog postAjinkya Satish Dharane
Aryan was sweating from every inch of his body. He was only five minutes in his hike but was already partially regretting his decision. To be fair, he had received information that the distance would be only one and a half miles to his campsite. But the restrictions due to COVID-19 meant he had to park a mile away from the start of his trail. That unintentionally added more than a mile to his hike. He was carrying over ten pounds over his shoulders and walking -
Blog postIf there was any doubt in prioritizing a customer convenience, this pandemic has clarified that. Most of the businesses have learned it the hard way. If they do not have an infrastructure to deliver your services and products at the consumer location, they are on the verge of becoming irrelevant. Thanks to lockdown, even those loyal customers who strictly bought local products, were forced to turn to global chains like Amazon, Walmart, Costco.
Why were the big chains not affected, or -
Blog postThe world is preparing to open step by step after coronavirus shut it down in March 2020. The global pandemic has made everyone realize the value they bring in this world. Some have experienced their value rise exponentially, but most of the population has seen their price go down.
The world of the future looks considerably distinct from the World we closed two months back. The fear of becoming obsolete is growing amongst some of the large scale industries. The global trends keep chan -
Blog postThere is not a single person who is not affected by the pandemic. You might argue Jeff Bezos might be the one with Amazon stocks growing about 20% in the last one month. But I am not talking about a few gainers. I am talking about the majority of us who have been stuck at home, feeling paralyzed about the situation. Some of us want to go and help solve the issues the world is facing. Some of us want their routine back. But all of us have been building up a reserve of energy consisting of frus

Blog postWhy can we not ONLY blame China for the spread of the coronavirus?
In the wake of the pandemic, the world leaders and media organizations are calling out China as solely responsible for the spread of the coronavirus. With the number of cases touching three million and over two hundred thousand deaths globally, the sentiment to blame China is understandable.
This novel strain of coronavirus, whose official name is SARS-CoV-2, causing COVID-19 originated in Hubei province in Chi -
Blog postIt took only a couple of months for our friendship to turn into love Little did we know that eleven years later our relationship would be as pure as snow
From innocent college years to long-distance tears you stood by me, without any fear
You became one with my family as if they were your own Even on your toughest day, you didn’t corrupt your tone
You became strong and independent, kept yourself pushing not for your own gain, but to hide my shortcomings
You sup -
Blog postIt is amazing how we are being sold to ourselves.
The announcement of Facebook, a social media company based in the US buying 10% shares in Reliance Jio, a telecom company based in India, was made yesterday. The first thought that came to my below average mind was, why? What was Facebook's business in buying shares in a telecom company? But then, as I read through articles, did some research, I realized that none of the companies are now social media or telecom companies. These compan -
Blog postUnited States has been the worst affected country in the world in this global pandemic caused by COVID-19 for some time now. The US has been the world’s largest economy since the late 19th century. The country which constitutes for almost a quarter of the world economy has been in some sort of lockdown for over a month now.
As the world fights against the same enemy, the leadership of this “super” country is fighting amongst themselves. This fight has had a ripple effect on the minds -
Blog postI have sat in an expensive, tastefully decorated board rooms, chatting with accomplished executives and recently I have been an employee of a warehouse, working a laborious job. The difference in these two domains of work is probably equal to the distance between two ends of the universe. These two experiences got me thinking about the inequalities in the world. On one side, a person earning more than average income can conveniently order products in one click, in his or her pajamas. On the o

Blog postFor the first time in a long time, I had lived my day doing mindless, unproductive work. Well, unproductive for my mind. Probably very productive for my employer — Amazon Fulfillment Center in Bolton, Ontario.
My body had no trouble getting up today. It had got full eight hours of sleep and the rest it deserved after working ten hours yesterday. But my mind was still struggling to wake up. So again my mind was in a fight with my brain.
My mind said, “go out there and be the he -
Blog postI had been conflicted for some time now. There are multiple fronts my heart has been at the conflict with my brain. One of the conflicts was to write or not write. The debate has been heating a lot in the last few days owing to the shutdown the world is in right now. My brain is pro writing and my heart has been arguing, you will make fool of yourself with your limited vocabulary and untested writing skills. But today my brain has won this argument as it came up with an idea to express my fir
