I often say thank you to those who showed up for me when I needed it the most, to my cook, who came even through heavy rain, to my driver, who showed up for work even while feeling unwell, to my friend who brought me lunch when I couldn’t get out of bed, to the […]
It’s a hot summer day in Dubai, with temperatures soaring close to 40°C. We’re stepping out of the car in the basement parking of a shopping mall, short walk to the entrance, but I can barely handle the heat. I glance around and see a few men washing cars in this sweltering basement. I can’t […]
Some time ago, I vented my frustration about a colleague to someone nearby, not realizing who was listening. Later, my words were twisted and spread, causing a big problem for me. A well-meaning friend then advised me: “Be careful what you share, walls have ears. Only confide in those you truly trust.” That advice changed […]

We often expect something new to happen and eagerly wait for it. But when it finally arrives, we start thinking our past was better. We get caught up worrying about mistakes we made, missed chances, or the happiness that seems to have faded. For me, school life always felt tough until I finished school. Then, […]
What happens when we try to put a newborn to sleep in a new environment? It’s often very challenging, right? Similarly, we sometimes find it hard to sleep well in unfamiliar places. Our subconscious mind links each place with specific activities, where we sleep, study, eat, or relax. When these routines are disrupted, our mind […]
In many households, it’s a tradition to say a prayer before every meal. But have you ever wondered why this practice might actually be beneficial from a scientific perspective?
