Why You Don’t Have to Fix
Why You Don’t Have to Fix Everyone: Gita’s Wisdom for Empaths and Over-givers

By Riya Kumari

Let’s be real for a second: if you’re the type of person who’s always the first to jump in and save the day, to fix someone’s bad day or help them finish a project (even when they didn’t ask), you might be living your life like you’re in the middle of a very dramatic romcom—except with way less attractive costars and way more unpaid emotional labor. You know what I mean? It’s the classic “I’m here to help everyone, but oh no, I’m secretly dying inside” trope. Yeah, we’ve all been there.

Why the Gita Doesn’t Prom
Why the Gita Doesn’t Promise a Pain-Free Life—but a Purposeful One

Okay, so you’re spiraling. Life’s a mess, your to-do list is breeding overnight, your ex is engaged (to a yoga instructor named Sky, of course), and your therapist just told you to “sit with your discomfort.” Cool. But while you're panic-eating cereal at 2 AM and Googling “how to move to Portugal on a budget,” a 5,000-year-old Sanskrit scripture might be sitting smugly on your bookshelf, whispering, “I told you so.”

Gita’s Message for People
Gita’s Message for People Who Feel ‘Too Sensitive’

By Riya Kumari

Raise your hand if you've heard this and immediately wanted to launch that hand directly into the nearest void. Or, you know, politely cry in the bathroom and apologize for existing. Yeah, same. Let’s get this straight. If you've ever been told to "toughen up" like emotions are some kind of unsightly rash you should quietly treat with over-the-counter stoicism—congratulations. You're officially too sensitive for this world... and maybe just perfect for another one. Say, the world of the Bhagavad Gita?

Letting Go Doesn’t Mean Y
Letting Go Doesn’t Mean You Don’t Care: Gita’s Lesson on Detachment

By Riya Kumari

You know that moment in every romcom where the protagonist, post-breakup, finally tosses the hoodie that smells like him into the laundry bin (baby steps), blasts some empowering playlist, and says, “I’m done!”—right before checking his Instagram story just one last time? Yeah. That’s us. All of us. Trying to "let go" but still clinging like emotionally codependent barnacles.

Two Clever People Can’t F
Two Clever People Can’t Fall in Love—True Love Needs One Fool

By Ankit Gupta

Unlike the calculating mind, the foolish heart embraces love’s numbness, its divine madness, and its boundless surrender. Love is not a transaction—it is dissolution. And only those willing to become fools can experience its bliss.

This Is Why You Miss Bein
This Is Why You Miss Being 17—Even If It Was a Mess

By Shivika Gupta

Seventeen wasn’t peaceful. It was acne, crushes, crying at 2 AM to Avril Lavigne, and swearing you’d run away after your boards. But now? You’d give anything to feel that alive again. You miss 17—not because it was perfect—but because you were. Not polished. Not productive. But present. Real. Hopeful. Raw. This isn’t about missing school or uniforms. It’s about missing the version of you that didn’t yet edit yourself to survive.
