I am the type of person that feels everything. So much that if I see something gut-wrenching, I get sleepless nights. Some call me weak or too sensitive.

With COVID-19 and other world disasters, it just breaks my heart, and I just have this sinkin...

If you’ve ever seen a Hindi movie or a Bollywood movie, it is a roller coaster of a story with heightened emotions mixed with songs and dance. However, not all Hindi movies are like that. Some stories are genuinely thought-provoking without the dancing and over-the-top drama that makes you cry towards the end.

Like this, there were many more self-created boundaries. If the bal...

India, as you may know, is utterly famous for its food. There are so many varieties that it may take a lifetime to explore all the diverse dishes spread across this cultural heaven.

All I registered was salt, and why should I keep away from the stove? As I picked the jar of salt, I looked at that pan for about five seconds. I don’t know what got into me, but I placed my palm along with my five fingers strai...
