Not Every Journey Is Meant to Be Shared

I can only say this: true happiness, at least for me, is not found in careless enjoyment but in mindful presence. If we are careless, we miss the quiet wisdom that nature offers us every day. We miss how a spider weaves its fragile web overnight, teaching us patience and resilience. We miss the way a snake rests motionless for hours, reminding us that stillness too is strength.

The Goodbye that still breathes

They say dogs come into our lives to teach us something, and once they finish teaching, they leave quietly. Bruno taught us love, loyalty, discipline, courage, empathy — and above all, he taught us that family is not defined by species, but by heart.

The Gentle Guardian

Bruno was not just part of our home; he was part of our journeys — literally. From the earliest days, he travelled with us everywhere. Before we even owned a car, he would sit between us on the motorcycle, calm, composed, and so unbelievably obedient that strangers on the road would turn their heads in admiration.

When Destiny Walked In to Our Lives

He was with me in every season of life — the quiet days, the storms, the victories, and the failures. He never cared about who I was, what I earned, or where I stood. His love had no conditions, no expectations, no judgement.

He taught all of us — my wife, my parents, her parents, friends who had never even touched a dog before — that love is universal.

He lived with a discipline and grace rare even in humans:
He waited for me to say “go and eat”…
He sat with us on the floor when we ate…
He loved simply because he loved.

Discipline Over Motivation: A Wake-Up Call for Today’s Parents

You cannot expect your child to lead a balanced life if your own is a mess of bad habits. If you're indulging in midnight food cravings, binging on junk, skipping exercise, throwing money around on unnecessary luxuries, turning every weekend into a mall-hopping spree, and making late-night parties the norm — you’re not raising a child with values. You're raising a fragile, unhealthy, and sometimes emotionally unstable individual.

பாதை சொல்லும் கதைகள்: ஜவ்வாது மலையேற்றமும் குள்ளர் குகைகளும்

ஜவ்வாது மலை பாதையின் ஒவ்வொரு திருப்பமும் தீண்டப்படாத இயற்கை அதிசயத்தின் காட்சியை வெளிப்படுத்துகிறது. சிறுசிறு சிகரங்கள், பசுமையான பள்ளத்தாக்குகள் மற்றும் படிக நீரோடைகள் அனைத்தும் இயற்கையின் கலைத் தேர்ச்சியின் அடையாளங்கள். இது நமக்குள் ஆழ்ந்த பிரமிப்பு மற்றும் ஆச்சரியத்தை எழுப்புகிறது.

Javadhu hills trek: Through Thorn Forests and Rocky Heights to the Enigma of Kullar Caves

Yet this journey left me with more than memories of effort and companionship. The Kullar Caves and their enigmatic dolmens lingered in my mind like unanswered riddles. The dwarf-like structures, the perfectly carved circles facing east, the stories of Valiyar and the celestial Nagas, they stirred something deeper in me. Standing there, it felt as though the stones were whispering truths too ancient for words, asking us to pause, listen, and question.

முழு சந்திர கிரகணத்துடனான எனது ஆத்மார்த்தமான சந்திப்பு

As the Moon’s surface quietly embraced Earth’s shadow, it wasn’t just a celestial body turning red — our souls were stirred, reminded of how tiny we are in the ever-expanding universe. In that fleeting alignment of Earth, Sun, and Moon, we glimpsed something timeless — not just a shadow, but a cosmic mirror reflecting the vastness beyond and within.

Shadows that illuminate the soul

In that moment, I realized something deeper:

 In this universe, everything is connected.

Everything happens for a reason.

Everything depends on time… and time is eternal.

Atoms are everywhere — in the stars, in us, in the shadows.

It was the first time in my life I truly learned about their intricate life cycles, their nuanced behaviors, their astonishing adaptations.

வண்ண ஹோலியும் இந்திய ஒற்றுமையும்

இந்தியா ஒரு மதச்சார்பற்ற நாடு என்பது நாம் அனைவரும் அறிந்ததே. இந்தியாவில் நாம் மொழி, மதம், கலாச்சாரம் போன்றவற்றில் வேறுபட்டவர்கள். இந்த வேறுபாடுகள் இருந்தபோதிலும், நம்மிடையே ஒரு குறிப்பிடத்தக்க ஒற்றுமை உணர்வு நிலவுகிறது, அதனால்தான் இந்தியா வேற்றுமையில் ஒற்றுமையை வெளிப்படுத்தும் ஒரு தேசமாக உலகிற்கு முன் முன்வைக்கப்படுகிறது.

The colours of india

Holi is more than just a festival of colours. It’s a reflection of India’s true spirit is diversity, unity, and inclusivity. Just as no single colour alone can capture the vibrancy of Holi, no single faith, language, or ideology can define India. But what happens when those in power try to erase this diversity, favouring one shade while suppressing the rest? This article conveys the deeper meaning of Holi, the symbolism of our Tricolour, and why true democracy must embrace all voices, not just a chosen few. After all, a nation without its colours is just a blank canvas, and India was never meant to be colourless.
