    Ease After the Whirlwind: Claiming Your Heartfulness

    October 16, 2025 /

    Some storms come without warning — a racing mind, a tense body, a chest that refuses to rest. For days, I carried the weight of thoughts that were not mine, wounds that were borrowed, and care that was misplaced. This is the story of reclaiming it all: softening the knot of tension, setting boundaries, and allowing ease to return. In the quiet, I discovered the luxury of a heart still unbroken, the permission to rest, and the gentle rhythm of being wholly mine. Let the world’s chaos dissolve — what remains is yours to nurture.

    The Weight I Was Never Meant to Carry

    October 16, 2025 /

    Letting go of emotional weight is a journey, not a single decision. It begins with noticing the small spaces where light can enter, even when mornings feel stormy. This reflection is about letting go of emotional weight, learning to release what was never yours to carry, and discovering quiet love in unexpected places. It’s been weeks since I last blogged.My memories — my idea of love — have shifted. Mornings feel heavy, so I brace myself in the dark. Yet, light still finds its way in small, unexpected corners. I watch it creep across the floor, a quiet reminder that it exists — not everywhere, not in everyone, but somewhere.…

    House Help Disaster: When Dusting Turns Into Chaos

    October 16, 2025 /

    I asked my house help to dust the ceiling fan—simple, right? Handed her a telescope duster, pointed to the sturdy balcony ladder, basically set her up for success. Enter BS (BhagyaShree). Instead of following instructions, she perched on a low IKEA stool…on top of the mattress…yanking fan blades like a personal resistance band. Now my once-beloved fan squeaks, threatens to go airborne, and crash-land on me at any moment. Creativity? Innovation? Or pure chaos? One thing is clear: BS indeed. Nothing remotely Bhagya or Shree. Just BS. If you’ve ever experienced house-help-induced disasters, you’ll nod along. And if you haven’t…consider yourself lucky.

Truth-slinger. Word snob.
Chaos whisperer.
I don’t sugarcoat —
I serve the whole damn lemon.
Fueled by caffeine, side-eyes, and
2 a.m. honesty.
Too honest? Too bad.
