Loneliness isn't always what it seems - it can sneak up on you, even when you have friends and family who care about you.

 



Opening up about my journey through loneliness has been one of the most challenging yet liberating experiences of my life. Loneliness isn't always what it seems - it can sneak up on you, even when you have friends and family who care about you.

Have you ever found yourself surrounded by people who love you, yet still felt like a solitary wanderer in a bustling world? Have you experienced the feeling of losing interest in the very things that once filled your heart with joy and passion?

There were days when I didn't want to speak, not because I had nothing to say, but because I felt like an outsider in the race of life. I retreated into silence, my once vibrant spirit fading into the background. The things I used to love became distant memories, and my passions withered away.

I'd spend hours sitting silently, doing nothing, just lazing around. Arguments and fights felt like distant battles I had no energy to engage in. I ignored calls from friends and family, not because I didn't care, but because I couldn't muster the strength to connect.

Food lost its taste, and getting dressed up felt like a chore. Pyjamas became my armour, and the thought of a refreshing bath was a distant memory. Exercise was a foreign concept, and even television couldn't capture my interest.

I harboured feelings of resentment toward everyone and everything, but I chose silence over shouting. It felt like something was building up inside me, something I couldn't quite grasp. So, I'd scroll endlessly through my phone, seeking solace in the digital world.

I couldn't help but wonder, "What happened to me? And is there a solution for all this?"

Through my journey, I've learned that there is hope. Loneliness is a formidable adversary, but it can be overcome. I've taken steps to reconnect with myself, rediscover my passions, and rebuild my life's vibrancy.

If you've ever felt this way, know that you're not alone. There's a way back to happiness, and I'm sharing my experiences and insights to help you find it too. Together, we can navigate the storm and emerge stronger on the other side.

Bonds Brewed Over Tea: A Daily Ritual of Sharing with Aadhya and Ansh

                      In the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, finding moments to connect with our children becomes invaluable. As a parent, one of the most rewarding rituals I've established with my kids, Aadhya, an 11-year-old with a penchant for stories, and Ansh, a bubbly 5-year-old with endless curiosity, is our evening tea time.                     Every day, as the clock inches towards the evening, we gather around the table, the aroma of freshly brewed tea mingling with the excitement of what each of us has experienced during the day. It all started with a simple realization: I needed to take the initiative by sharing mine first if I wanted my children to open up about their day.                     The routine kicks off with the kettle whistling its familiar tune, announcing the beginning of our special time together. Aadhya, being the elder, usually helps prepare the tea – a blend of warmth, comfort, and a touch of nostalgia. Ansh, on the other hand, is in charge of s

  In a world that seems to be constantly moving at the speed of light, it's easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle, feeling overwhelmed by the never-ending to-do lists, and the fear that time is slipping away. Today, I want to remind you of something important: stop stressing yourself; you are okay. You have time. Slow down, calculate your steps, and remember, you've got this. The Pace of Life - Life can sometimes feel like a race, with everyone rushing towards their goals and dreams. We often find ourselves comparing our progress to others, and this relentless pace can take a toll on our mental and physical well-being.

You Are Right Where You Need to Be - One of the most significant sources of stress is the feeling that we should be further along in our journey. Whether it's in our careers, relati
