Last year, I was working late on a presentation when I found myself staring blankly at the screen, heart pounding—not due to pressure, but exhaustion. My colleague, someone normally calm and collected, whispered: “Just five minutes of meditation could clear your mind.” I laughed. How could monks sitting for hours help me catch up on emails?Yet I tried. Five minutes that night—no mantra, no apps—just quiet. My mind, buzzing like a beehive, slowly settled. The next morning, I finished that presentation in half the time. And I realized: monks might have hours—but stillness works even in stolen seconds.This article is your shortcut to that superpower. It’s for the ambitious who don’t have hours—but do want clarity, resilience, and true rest—without leaving the 9-to-6 grind.

I’ve always been the type of person who forgives easily.Someone forgets my birthday? I laugh it off.They break my trust? I rationalize it.They disappear and come back when it’s convenient? I welcome them with open arms.I called it being “mature.” My friends called it being “too nice.” But deep down, I knew—each time I forgave too quickly, a small part of me eroded. It wasn’t peace I felt, it was emotional exhaustion.That’s when I stumbled across a verse from Chanakya Niti:“Don’t trust a person who has broken your trust once.

His lessons on friendship come from a place of strategy, strength, and self-respect.This article is a deep dive into Chanakya’s brutal but brilliant insights on friendship—and why sometimes, holding a grudge isn’t petty. It’s protection.

This article dives deep into the myths, science, ayurvedic wisdom, and practical pros & cons of cow vs buffalo milk — so you can make an informed (and delicious) choice.
