Protect that! — How do YOU define YOUR Core Identity? It can be anything. The way you think/talk/dress/…/live your life * What you believe in * Your hobbies & passions * The work you do * Goals you have * People you love to spend time with * … (only you can decide) Protect that! That doesn’t mean being rigid, or not working on improving yourself, or not taking steps to your better self. It means, don’t change yourself, for anyone or anything, unless YOU personally feel the change will help you become your better self.

Reminder to stop chasing this illusion — Just a reminder that how we show up on social media, at work, in front of others – doesn’t say anything about how we are actually doing, how we are actually feeling inside. If you feel bad comparing your life with others’, then I want you to remember that you are seeing only the filtered, picture-perfect parts of their lives they are comfortable sharing with others.

How mind impacts perception — Did you ever notice, how the next thought/word/action is very similar to what we are thinking & how we are feeling at any moment? When we feel good (happy/excited/grateful etc), we can easily access happy memories & feel hopeful about the future, see good in people & in the world. When we don’t feel good (sad/bored/disappointed etc), mind starts supplying difficult memories & future starts feeling dark, starts highlighting the bad in people & the world.

Uniquely themselves yet similar in how they have impacted my life — Morning couldn’t have been more special 🥰 What a fascinating spectrum of conversations we had! My 3 special friends 🤗 who couldn’t be more unique in who they are, yet they share some similarities in how they have touched my life. 🌹Over the years, so many friends entered & left…

Here is what I think. — Not a fan of ‘quick fixes’ ‘Get ____ easy’ solutions either. But ‘job/business’ ‘single/in a relationship’ ‘live small/large’ feel more like personal choices imo that can’t be necessarily labelled as ‘easy’ or ‘difficult’. Rarely heard anyone (honest) from either side of these choices, claiming their choice to be easy. Then…

Let’s explore the depth of this uncomfortable feeling, that we all experience but rarely talk about. If you prefer to read in Bengali, here is the original post. ‘Not feeling well’ That’s a strange feeling. Everyone experiences this in their life now and then, more than once. The duration and intensity differ in each instance, as does the intensity for different people. There is no way to compare one’s feeling…

Those were the thoughts on my mind as I moved from 2021 to 2022. — Let me share with you the story of how I bounced back from that point. (If you prefer to read in Bengali on Facebook, click here) Dangerous Dengue I had been gradually breaking down over the course of a few years, dealing with multiple bouts of COVID, terrible vertigo, and work pressure…

There’s no time to think. — কি করছি, কেন করছি, কি করতে চাই ভাববার সময় নাই। ব্যস্ততা তো ছিলই তার সাথে জুটেছে হাতের মুঠোয় অফুরন্ত বিনোদন, তথ্য ভান্ডার। সব কিছু দেখার, জানার আকর্ষণে নিজেকে জানা, নিজের মনে ডুব দেওয়ার ইচ্ছে চাপা পড়ে যায়। এক উন্মাদনায় ছুটে চলা, কিছুতে মশগুল হয়ে ভুলে থাকা সহজ; থামা কঠিন, নিজের…
