What Happens to Our Dreams After We Are Gone? Does Anything We Do Really Matter?

Why Human Legacy Never Lasts Forever We spend our whole lives believing that our actions, achievements, and dreams will be remembered forever. But history tells a different story. No matter how great a person was in their time, their legacy eventually fades. Kings who ruled vast empires, scientists who changed the world, and artists who created masterpieces—most of them are just names in books today. The illusion of permanence comes from our inability to accept that everything is temporary. We build monuments, write books, and leave behind digital footprints, thinking that they will outlive us. But time is ruthless—it erases everything. Even the greatest civilizations like the Indus Valley, the Mayans, and the Romans were once powerful but are now reduced to ruins and historical records. So, if nothing truly lasts, why do we still chase the idea of being remembered? Maybe it’s because we are programmed to seek meaning in our existence. But the hard truth is—no matter how important we...

Varanasi-Kashi-Banaras

Varanasi is not just a city; it is an emotion, an experience, a realm where time slows down, and the soul awakens. Around 6-month in this sacred city was during the toughest phase of my life, yet, in hindsight, I feel lucky to have spent those days here.

Waking Up on the Ghats: A Life Beyond the Ordinary There were nights when I had no destination, no plans—I just walked along the ghats and, at times, slept right there, under the open sky. Waking up on the ghats of Varanasi was an experience beyond words. The first rays of the sun kissing the waters of the Ganges, the morning chants from distant temples, and the sight of sadhus immersed in their meditations—these moments felt surreal. It was not just about sleeping on the ghats; it was about surrendering myself to t...

Suicide: When Self-Love Becomes an Escape from Pain

Suicide isn’t always about hating life. Sometimes, it’s about loving yourself too much to endure any more suffering. People don’t choose to die because they want to; they choose it because they can’t bear to harm themselves with more pain. It’s not about giving up—it’s about wanting peace so badly that death seems like the only way to find it. Why Do People Choose Suicide? It’s Not About Weakness Most people think suicide happens because of depression, loneliness, or failure. But the truth is deeper. When pain reaches a point where it feels unbearable, when every second feels like torture, the mind starts looking for an escape. And for some, that escape isn’t alcohol, drugs, or distractions—it’s simply stopping everything altogether . Suicide isn’t always an act of hatred towards oneself. Sometimes, it’s the exact opposite. People choose to leave because they don’t want to hurt themselves anymore. The pain is too much, the suffering is too constant, and they feel like their body doe...
