In life, almost everything carries a backup plan. A lost job can be replaced with another, dreams can be rewritten, even broken relationships can be rebuilt with time and effort. Yet, there are two aspects of human existence that refuse to wait, that come with no substitutes—hunger and health. Hunger does not allow postponement, and health cannot be delegated. They demand attention here and now, reminding us that self-care is not a luxury but the foundation of everything else. When the body is nourished and the mind is cared for, strength naturally flows into every other pursuit. To explain this truth more deeply: most responsibilities in life can be shared, requested, or even forced upon others. A task can be divided among colleagues, a duty can be passed on to a subordinate, or a request for help can lighten the burden. But hunger, suffering, and health are personal. No one can eat in your place, no one can truly carry your pain, and no one can permanently protect your well-being on ...

     T he digital age promised connection, knowledge, and a global village. Instead, for many of us, it's become a swirling vortex of information, opinion, and often, division. We've been talking about protests, public displays, and the flashpoints that ignite communities. From one group’s banner to another’s exclusionary sign, a dangerous pattern emerges: the rapid spread of information (and misinformation) amplified by our tribal instincts, leading to a climate of "why only they, why not we?" This isn't just about what's happening on the streets; it's about what's happening in our minds, especially ours, the digital natives. We're bombarded with snippets, headlines, and outrage-driven posts that rarely offer the full picture. When our group—be it based on faith, ethnicity, or ideology—is perceived to be under attack, our fingers are often quicker to share, to react, to condemn, than our minds are to pause and question. The Echo Chamber Effect: Ou...

In a world ruled by digital clocks and relentless deadlines, have you ever paused to ask: where did our calendar come from? Why do we live by twelve months of uneven days? And what was lost when we abandoned the ancient, intuitive rhythm of thirteen? As I've explored in my research, the story of our calendar is not one of simple mathematics, but of power, nature, and the very structure of our souls. Let us journey back and rediscover the quiet beauty of a timekeeper that once connected us to the cycles of the earth and sky. The Natural Elegance of Thirteen Long before empires sought to standardize time, civilizations lived in harmony with the moon. A lunar year naturally contains 13 cycles, each lasting about 28 days. This is a perfect symmetry, a rhythm that mirrors our own biology, the agricultural seasons, and the timing of spiritual ceremonies. This wasn't a fringe idea; it was a global wisdom. The Maya employed the sophisticated Tun-Uc calendar with 13 pe...

  💔 “The Man Who Stood by Everyone: A Story of Love, Loneliness, and Silent Strength” By Kesari Babu, with the help of AI Introduction There are stories that don’t make headlines—stories of quiet endurance, silent suffering, and love given without acknowledgment. This is one such story. It’s about a man who, from his earliest days, felt unseen despite being surrounded by people. It’s about how loneliness carved spaces in his heart that were too large to fill, and how his instinct to care for others became both a balm and a burden. It’s about how a boy raised without warmth grew into a man who gives endlessly—forgetting himself, and often hurting in silence. This is a story not of tragedy, but of resilience—and a reminder that behind many smiles, laughter, and responsible faces, lives a heart quietly longing to be seen. A Childhood of Absence He was born into a family that wanted the best for him. His parents worked tirelessly to build a stable home, drea...

  What Is True Family? A Deep Dive into Blood, Bonds, and Belonging By Kesari Babu (with insights powered by AI)   Family is one of those concepts that seems simple on the surface but grows more complex the more we think about it. Some people see family as anyone who shares their bloodline , others extend it to friends, and still others believe it’s all about love and loyalty rather than biology. But what truly defines “family”? And is there such a thing as true family ? My Personal Perspective: True Family = Siblings and Children According to me (Kesari Babu), the idea of “true family” is very specific: True family consists only of blood siblings (those born alongside you) and blood children (those born through you). Not true family includes parents, spouses, cousins, relatives, and (in the strict bloodline sense) friends. Why? Parents : They already belonged to another family before you. They are important, but they rem...

  Stress: The Silent Saboteur Behind the Perfect Life By Kesari Babu We often equate good health with discipline—balanced meals, exercise, routine, and a picture-perfect lifestyle. But there's an overlooked threat that can undermine even the most diligent: stress . Unlike visible lifestyle habits, stress operates silently, chipping away at our well-being until it’s too late. Scenario 1: Carefree but Unhealthy — At Least It’s Noticeable This person lives by impulse—eats freely, drinks, smokes, ignores wellness routines. Their choices are clearly unhealthy. But here's the paradox: despite the risks, they often feel more relaxed and joyful because stress is minimal. Friends and doctors can easily point out the dangers: “You should cut down,” or “Time to check your health.” The visibility of their habits invites warnings and opportunities for change. Scenario 2: Strict Routine, Hidden Breakdown Imagine someone disciplined to the extreme—perfect diet, exercise,...

H ave you ever noticed how the loss of a loved one can bring a family together, but can also pull it apart? When someone in a close-knit community passes away, it affects everyone. People travel from all over to come back to their hometowns and gather under one roof. We expect these moments to be about unity and support. But often, this is when old problems and hidden cracks in a family begin to show. Going Through the Motions Every culture has traditions and rituals for saying goodbye . These customs give us a path to follow when we’re lost in sadness. We prepare food, welcome guests, and follow the steps we’re taught to honour the person who is gone. But these rituals can feel empty if the family isn't truly united. It can feel like everyone is just playing a part. When family members are just going through the motions, the most meaningful traditions can lose their power. Old Wounds and New Arguments A funeral doesn't erase the past. Instead, it often makes a family face its ...

Have you ever found yourself weighed down by anger or resentment , caught in a web of memories that refuse to let go? Forgiveness may seem elusive, especially when the wounds run deep or the grievances are close to the heart. Yet, as countless stories and reflections reveal, forgiveness is not a sign of weakness—it's one of humanity's bravest acts of strength and liberation. The Transformative Power of Letting Go Letting go is an emotional process . It often begins with acknowledging the pain and allowing oneself to feel the intensity of betrayal , hurt, or sadness. This vulnerability is not defeat but the first courageous step toward healing. By choosing to walk through these emotions, we eventually reach a place where anger fades, acceptance grows, and bitterness loses its grip on our hearts. This transformation is what sets forgiveness apart—it's a conscious choice to release ourselves from the bondage of the past, making room for peace and new beginnings. Rebuilding R...

We often like to believe our lives are shaped by unshakable principles. We say, “I stand for honesty , passion , tradition .” But in reality, those principles bend more often than we admit. As I once put into words: 💭 “Be it decisions, revisions, or beliefs we uphold—each is shaped not by principle, but by what suits us best.” This isn’t cynicism. It’s a mirror. Let me walk you through how this truth quietly plays out in our daily lives. 1️⃣ Careers: Passion vs. Pay check We all say “ follow your passion .” Yet when bills, responsibilities, and family expectations weigh in, passion often steps aside. Stability takes the driver’s seat. Not because passion is worthless, but because security suits us better than uncertainty . 2️⃣ Honesty: A Principle on Trial Honesty is a principle I value deeply. Still, life shows me how easily it bends. A résumé gap , a white lie to avoid conflict—these moments reveal that honesty often competes with practicality. And in many cases, survi...
