What happens when you hold on to your pee for a long time? And you get into the habit of doing it continuously many times, over and over again? Stones, right? Kidney stones. And how does this affect you? It blocks, it creates pain, immense pain in the lower stomach. So much pain, that one might prefer to die at that moment than bear it.


So, what do you think happens when you get into the habit of holding on to your emotions? When you start bottling up all your feelings, bit-by-bit? 



Initially you might feel, ‘how does it even matter?’, ‘my opinion doesn’t matter’, ‘let's just focus on what’s ahead of me and keep moving on.’ The worst thing to say to yourself is ‘it’s just a phase and it will get over soon’.

But do you know something, it matters. The emotions keep piling up and even before you realize it, it starts affecting you. You may feel it’s okay, ‘I am okay’. But are you? It is affecting your mental and emotional health. And this practice at some point will create pain, a lot of pain, so much that one might prefer to die at that moment than bear it.

Just as the process in which kidney stones are created (in physical body), these piled up emotions come together blend into concentrated form and transform into huge stones, the weight of which is difficult to carry.

 "A kidney stone is a solid mass made up of tiny crystals", says Google. Bit-by-bit , all these negative emotions which gets stored, comes together and snowballs into a huge boulder, enough to crumble you to pieces. 

What is the process to dissolve these kidney stones of the mind? 

What is the solution?

So, Are You A Good Person Or A Nice Person?

So, are you a good person or a nice person? It’s not always good to be nice, you know. Sometimes it’s okay to be ‘just you’.   We often end up mixing the two attributes - good and nice – assuming them to be the same. But there is a vast difference between the two. What is the difference, you ask? Or is it just that I am going bonkers? Well, by definition … ·          A nice person is someone who is pleasant to be around, has good manners, and is cheerful; ·          A good person on the other hand, is someone who is honest, helpful, and morally good. A person who has generally been good tends to be nice to others, most of the time. However, the question is: should they be nice to people, even if they don’t want to? Would people consider them as ‘good’ if they are not nice any longer?   The Burden of Being Nice Here’s what I think: you might be a good person, who doesn’t want to intenti...

A Soul Stirring Journey! (Book Review)

Image Source   Book: The Seeker Author: Karan Bajaj The climax of the book is just unexpected. Well that's not how you would expect me to begin a review, but it's simply not what I had anticipated. In fact with the twists and turns I actually had no idea how the book will end. Had completely given up all my presumptions. I'll be honest, first few pages were a little boring for me. Perhaps, because the beginning is slow or maybe because I thought this packing your stuff and going away is a 'very guy' thing. Alright, the fact is I was jealous of Max, that  he could just walk away from his corporate life towards a different life...... However, I continued to read; I was curious to know   how far does Max go in order to reach that state where he feels detached from the world yet one with every tiny bit of the universe. And boy what a journey that was! I enjoyed it :)

A Fatal Distraction - Good Pick for Murder Mystery Fans

A Fatal Distraction by Samyukta Bhowmick, published by Juggernaut , is an engaging crime thriller centered around a series of murders. The title itself, meaning "a situation where someone is killed due to a distraction," perfectly summarizes the essence of the story. The plot kicks off with the murder of Dhritiman Bhattacharya, a beloved editor of a tabloid with seemingly no enemies. As the investigation unfolds, Mridula and Monami, two journalists, take the lead, only to encounter another shocking murder—that of Anika, who assumingly had several enemies. What stands out is the dynamic partnership between the two women—Mridula, middle-aged and wise, and Monami, youthful and energetic. Their collaboration brilliantly showcases how Millennials and Gen Z can combine their strengths to achieve great results. Their journey through the investigation is captivating and adds depth to the narrative.
