Dear younger me,

I know you—
somewhere from the past.
You made mistakes,
your heart is broken,
and you’ve lost your way.

I want to tell you,
it’s okay to be wounded
and scared.
You will get a chance
to heal,
and you will find
the courage to get up again.

Until then,
keep going.

To Shanikutti,

I still remember the little girl who used to run into my arms whenever I call her name — the one I carried through the fields, with laughter and sunshine all around. Time has flown by.

Tomorrow is her wedding day, and my heart is full. Wishing both of you a lifetime of love and happiness.

With love,
Binochachan

We are all lost in some way or another
on the road to home.
Some are still searching.
Some fall apart along the path.
Only a few ever find it.

I hope you do.

The main issue in life is not having clarity about what you want. Without clarity, you can’t focus on the things that matter.

Without focus, you will be distracted by countless things and the noise around you. These distractions will affect every decision you make. Over time, this can cause you to lose yourself and your dreams.

To achieve your dreams, you need laser-sharp focus. But focus begins with clarity. First, define what your dreams are. A simple way to start is by writing them down.

Create a clear, intentional list of what you want to achieve in life. Then, commit to focusing only on what truly matters.

sudden ignitions,
until he kissed her
for the first time.

Wandering at night brings peace—and pictures like this.

If a writer falls in love with you, you can never die. ― Mik Everett

You can reread the above quote to this: “If the person dear to you is an artist, you can never die.”

Yes—because they will carry you in their art pieces. If they are a writer, they will hide you between the lines of their favorite poems or stories. If they are a photographer, you will be in their photos forever. If they are a musician, they will blend you into the rhythm. If they are a painter, they will add you into the corners of their canvas. And the list goes on.

You will be forever engraved in their art—sometimes in plain sight, sometimes hidden. When others see the art, the artist will see you.

The expanded Avenues Mall is a beautiful place to explore. These photos are from the sea-facing area.

We will meet again
in an unknown universe,
where I am the wizard,
and you, my witch—
where I will cast
the most divine spell:
“Tvayi prema karomi.”

Beneath the raining stars,
We will fall in love again,
after a million lifetimes.

After my eyes grew tired, I stepped outside the office to relax. I stood there for a while and noticed these plants growing in the middle of the desert — they brought me a sense of peace.
