Have you ever really stopped to think about why we eat food? At its core, food is fuel. Humans need energy to stay alive, and food is how we get that energy. It's a basic biological need without it, our bodies can’t function. But if you look a little deeper, you’ll notice that not everyone eats just to survive. Some people develop a habit of eating at certain times, regardless of hunger. Think of someone who eats breakfast at 8 AM every single day even if they’re not hungry just because it’s “breakfast time.” Others eat for the taste , seeking flavor and pleasure from their meals. Imagine a foodie exploring street food in Bangkok or trying gourmet dishes at a Michelin-star restaurant. For them, food is an experience, not just a necessity. Then there are those who eat with a purpose  to stay alive and healthy . For instance, a diabetic person carefully measures their carbs and sugar intake to maintain balance and avoid complications. Their relationship with food is rooted in ...

Have you ever paused to wonder what truly shapes us into who we are? Whether we become a common person, a hero, or even a villain - what determines our path? For most of us, the answer lies in a combination of three powerful forces: our environment, the people around us, and our mindset. These elements influence how we think, how we act, and ultimately, who we become. But there are rare individuals who defy these norms. They rise above their circumstances and shape their identity from within. Like the sandalwood tree, which grows gracefully and spreads its fragrance despite being surrounded by snakes, these people remain unaffected by negativity. Their strength doesn't come from the outside - it comes from within. This teaches us an important lesson: while most of us are shaped by our surroundings, a few exceptional souls draw strength from their inner resilience. And that makes all the difference. It’s crucial, then, to seek environments that uplift you, align with your values...

In today’s fast-paced world, the pursuit of money often leads us down a path filled with silent sacrifices. To build a stable career or achieve financial goals, people study relentlessly, work tirelessly, and unknowingly trade away pieces of themselves. What begins as a dream for a better future gradually turns into a life of compromises. We trade our joy, comfort, and peace of mind for stressful work routines and high expectations. In search of better opportunities, we leave behind our mother tongue, our culture, and the familiar comfort of home . The people we love become distant memories, voices on phone calls, or occasional video chats. With time, many find themselves stuck in a professional life that, although financially rewarding, takes a toll on health, mental peace, and emotional fulfillment . The bank balance grows, but the soul feels increasingly empty. The warmth of childhood friends, the calm of home-cooked meals, and the peace of a familiar hometown are replaced by de...

We often categorize people based on their habits—some have "good" ones that reflect discipline and character, while others carry "bad" ones that seem careless or impulsive. But if you observe closely, you’ll notice something quite unexpected. In everyday life, it’s not uncommon to see someone with bad habits easily surrounded by people, gaining attention or even forming groups effortlessly. Why? Perhaps it’s simply because they’re open to inviting others in. Meanwhile, someone with admirable traits and good habits might still find themselves alone, despite having an impressive personality. This leads to a confusing question: which kind of habit should we actually adopt? Good or bad? Which one truly serves us in the long run? The answer isn’t as simple as choosing one over the other. When you reflect deeply, you realize that habits are more than just “good” or “bad.” They’re shaped by personal experience, environment, and situations. In many cases, you don’t consciou...

There’s something uniquely profound about a short train journey—those two or three-day trips where strangers sit together, share space, and unknowingly share pieces of their lives. In this brief window of time, a small slice of human nature plays out right before our eyes. Most travelers simply hope for comfort—a peaceful place to sit, maybe even stretch out and sleep without obstacles. But comfort isn’t always guaranteed. The lower berth traveler often wishes to rest anytime, yet their peace can be disturbed by those occupying the middle or upper berths. At times, these little inconveniences remain unspoken; other times, they spark conflicts over what’s “deserved” or who is “in the way.” It’s an interesting dynamic—what is discomfort to one may be an opportunity to connect for another. Some passengers might strike up a conversation, share stories, or even make new friends. It all depends on mindset. Women, elderly passengers, those with small children, or people dealing with health is...

Understanding the Power of Faith: Why Religion Commands Deep Trust Introduction Religion is rooted in strong trust, faith, and belief . Across all cultures and belief systems, devotees of every religion hold their traditions and teachings with deep conviction. It’s often asked: why do people follow religion so strongly—even when logic or scientific proof is not always evident? The answer lies in the nature of trust, faith, and belief. These are not purely logical concepts; they belong to the realm of love, emotion, and connection . Let’s explore how religion gained such importance and why it continues to guide billions, generation after generation. A Journey to the Past: How Religion Was Formed To understand today’s religious trust, we must travel back in time. Around 2500 years ago, humans began developing writing systems. Before that, knowledge was passed orally —from parent to child, generation after generation. When writing was introduced, religious leaders and thinkers bega...

Cancer cases are rising at an alarming rate every single day. In response, governments, social organizations, and private entities are racing to open more and more cancer hospitals across the globe. On the surface, this appears to be a noble and necessary step — to treat and hopefully cure those suffering from this devastating disease.   But if we take a closer look, something doesn’t add up. Despite the increasing number of cancer hospitals, the number of patients keeps growing too. Instead of slowing the spread, we’re simply building more places to manage it. It’s almost as if we're trying to contain a fire without putting out the flame.   What’s truly surprising — and concerning — is how little focus there is on preventing  cancer in the first place. It's as if we've accepted cancer as inevitable, rather than something that could, in many cases, be avoided.   Think about it: patients often resist changing their comfortable, unhealthy eating habits. On the other si...

Human behavior is a fascinating subject, especially when you start observing how it changes depending on the situation and the audience. It's quite intriguing how differently a person acts when they're alone compared to when they're surrounded by others. In many ways, it's almost as if we all have two versions of ourselves — one for the world, and one that exists in solitude.   This behavioral shift is not rare or surprising; in fact, it's something most of us experience. Some might label it as a "double standard," and while that may sound negative, it’s more of a reflection of human nature than a flaw. Try debating it, and you’ll find it hard to “prove” — not because it isn’t true, but because it’s difficult to pin down with logic. Still, once you start observing it, you’ll understand exactly what I mean.   Sometimes, this duality is obvious — you’ll see someone behave one way in public and completely different in private. Other times, it's subtle, on...

Our minds are wired to compare. Almost everything we think is filtered through the lens of "bigger or smaller," "better or worse," "higher or lower." We rarely see things—or people—as equal. This habit isn’t something we developed overnight; it’s something we were taught, often unconsciously, from childhood.   There’s an old Hindi saying: "Door ke dhol suhawane lagte hain." It means: "The drums sound sweeter from afar." In essence, what’s far away always seems more attractive or better.   This mindset deeply affects how we view people—especially from the past. We often think our ancestors were somehow "greater" than us. Why? Because we’ve only heard about them through stories passed down from others—stories that highlight either only their best or their worst, but never the full picture.   Now, I won’t mention any big names here because that easily invites controversy. But I invite you to think of someone famous from the past....

Have you ever noticed how most of us approach life? Whether it’s a job, a personal task, or even a dream, our focus is almost always on one thing — completion. We rush to finish. We strive to achieve. We aim to impress, to benefit, or to meet expectations. Rarely do we pause to experience the journey, the process, or the present moment.   This mindset is deeply ingrained. The moment something is assigned or undertaken, the human tendency is to think about the outcome — not the experience. But is this really the best way to live?   Only a few people truly live in the present. Most are constantly thinking about the future — what’s next, what’s to come, and how things will turn out. A child dreams of becoming a grown-up. Teenagers look forward to college. College students think about getting a job. Adults look ahead to marriage. Married individuals focus on children, their education, and eventually their careers. The cycle continues — chasing one milestone after another.   A...

In today's fast-paced and modern world, many of us have begun to question the traditional lifestyles and religious teachings that guided our ancestors for centuries. Our current way of thinking often demands logic and scientific reasoning behind every instruction or belief. Religion, however, has largely relied on faith and trust—qualities that are slowly fading in an age of skepticism.   Religious teachings often come in the form of simple instructions: “Do this” or “Don’t do that.” But modern individuals seek to understand 'why'. While some religious scholars attempt to provide logical explanations, others do not, which has led many people to distance themselves from religion or follow it half-heartedly. The result? A society with fragmented beliefs and increasing detachment from spiritual roots.   It’s also important to recognize that some religious teachings and practices may have been altered throughout history for political or economic agendas. However, the essence of...

Today marks a small but meaningful milestone—my very first blog. I’m not sure why the word "journey" popped into my head as I began writing, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized that it’s not just a word—it’s a reflection of life itself.   Life truly is a journey. It begins the moment we are born and continues until our final breath. But what makes it even more fascinating is that this one grand journey is made up of countless smaller ones. Every person, every experience, and every moment we live is like a sub-path that branches out from the main road.   If you're from a tech background like me, think of life like software development. There’s a main thread—our core life path—and then there are sub-threads, dependent threads, running alongside it. Some threads are long-lasting, while others are short-lived. Some bring joy, others bring lessons. But each one adds depth and meaning to the overall process.   I hope this idea resonates with you as it did with ...

For a long time, I’ve been wanting to write about lifestyle. Although I often thought about it, I never actually sat down to write. But today feels like the right moment. That said, I did casually discuss this topic with some of my morning and evening walking friends during our chats. Now, it’s time to focus and put these thoughts into words.   These days, it seems like people have forgotten the basics of eating. Whether human or animal, we’re consuming anything and everything without truly considering whether it's good or bad for our bodies. While animals like cows, dogs, and cats may not think like humans, even we – with all our intelligence – seem lost when it comes to our health. No comments on the animals; they follow instinct. But what’s our excuse?   Let’s take a simple example. A person who owns a bike or car knows that it runs on petrol, not diesel or water. He ensures he uses the right fuel. But the same person forgets that his own body is also a machine – a much mor...
