Have you ever been so overwhelmed by a life decision that your body froze and your mind spiraled? I have. And oddly enough, so did Arjuna—yes, the legendary warrior prince from the Mahabharata. Long before modern psychology named it, he experienced what we today recognize as a full-blown anxiety attack. But what changed his course wasn’t a therapist or a prescription—it was a conversation. A dialogue with Krishna that became the soul of the Bhagavad Gita.In today’s age of burnout, self-doubt, and emotional overload, Arjuna’s moment of vulnerability reminds us that even the strongest among us break down—and that’s okay. But what’s more important is how we build ourselves back. This article is for every person who’s ever felt anxious, lost, or stuck. Let's take a deeply personal, modern look at an ancient scripture that has silently held the answers to our inner chaos for centuries.

If you close your eyes and think of the person who taught you your first life lesson—not from a book, but about life—who comes to mind?Maybe it’s your mother softly guiding you through heartbreak, a schoolteacher who saw your potential before you did, or a friend who told you the hard truths when no one else dared. For me, it was my grandfather. He never raised his voice, but his silences were louder than lectures. On quiet afternoons, he’d recite shlokas and stories from the Mahabharata while peeling mangoes with surgical precision. I didn’t know it then, but he was my first guru.And that’s what Guru Poornima is really about—not just garlanding a spiritual master, but recognizing the everyday mentors who shape our hearts and minds.

You ever feel like life is just one big, chaotic group project and you're the only one actually doing the work? Yeah, same. Whether it’s overthinking a breakup, stressing about a job interview, or scrolling through social media wondering if you’re falling behind in life—there’s a quiet sense of burnout that’s become the new normal.But thousands of years ago, a charioteer named Krishna told a confused warrior something incredibly simple: "Do your karma, without attachment to the result." Sounds too spiritual? Maybe. But if there’s one divine character who knew how to handle drama with grace and clarity, it was Krishna. From devotion to detachment, his teachings from the Bhagavad Gita are basically the original mental health manual-and honestly, we need it now more than ever.

We all have that one relative the one who thrives on drama, turns every gathering into an emotional battlefield, and somehow always plays the victim. Now imagine that, but in royal robes, backed by ego and power, and with the fate of a kingdom on the line. That’s the Mahabharat for you—ancient, yes, but weirdly… familiar?Growing up, I saw my family’s share of cold wars disguised as polite conversations at the dinner table. As I watched Mahabharat reruns with my grandma, I used to think, “This is wild fiction!” But the older I got, the more I realized: we’ve all lived our mini-Kurushetras. Only the dice look different.Let’s revisit the game of dice that didn’t just gamble away kingdoms—but revealed how toxic family politics, then and now, can silently destroy everything.

Okay, real talk. We all grew up on those Disney movies, right? The whole "riding off into the sunset" thing after the big "I do's." But lately, it feels like that sunset fades pretty fast for a lot of people. I mean, just four months ago, my roommate walked down the aisle, totally head-over-heels for the love of her life – they'd been together for four years! Fast forward to now, and it's kinda... not working out. Like, already. Marriage, which was supposed to be this super solid "forever" deal, kinda feels like it's held together with, like, hopes and a really good Instagram filter. Why is it that "forever" feels so... meh and breakable in today's world? Let's dive into the not-so-fun stuff.

“I’m fine.” That’s what my friend said when I asked him how he was really doing. He smiled, shrugged, and quickly changed the topic - like he always does. But I could see it in his eyes: he wasn’t fine. How could he - He witnessed her girl getting crashed by truck through his naked eyes. And the more I thought about it, the more I realized how many men around me wear the same mask. For generations, they’ve been taught to “man up,” to be the strong one, to never let their guard down. But behind those firm nods and quiet responses lies a silent, growing crisis - one we can’t afford to ignore any longer.

A few months back, one of my father’s friends visited us in Jaipur. He didn’t come empty-handed — he brought a box of malpua, a full kilo of it, warm and syrupy. I remember taking that first bite: crispy edges, soft center, soaked in just the right amount of sweetness. I paused, looked at him wide-eyed, and said, “Where is this from?”He smiled and said, “Pushkar.”And just like that, a dessert took me on a journey. Not immediately, but the name Pushkar lingered — in the sweetness of that malpua, in my curiosity, and eventually, in my travel plans.What I didn’t know then was that this little town in Rajasthan would offer me so much more than just unforgettable food. It would give me space to breathe, to pause, to feel. Pushkar didn’t just satisfy my cravings - it soothed my soul.

Let’s be honest—most of us guys weren’t exactly born with a fashion manual in our hands. All men grew up thinking as long as our shirt was clean and our shoes were tied, we were good to go.

And suddenly, that one hoodie and those three t-shirts just didn’t cut it anymore.If you've ever looked in the mirror and thought, "Something's off, but I can't figure out what", you’re not alone. Style isn’t about labels or expensive brands. It’s about expressing who you are—confidently, cleanly, and comfortably. And the best part? You don’t have to reinvent your wardrobe or your wallet to look good.So here’s a no-drama, no-judgment guide: 9 simple, doable tips to help you level up your style game.
