Do Nothing

We are constantly surrounded by people, but many of us feel lonely. Loneliness has been rumored to increase creativity. I think that's because lonely people are more open to new ideas. They are also more likely to be inspired by their surroundings. It is important to make time for yourself every day. Find something that inspires you and do it. Spend time with your family and friends, enjoy nature, read a good book, or take a walk. 

Loneliness is often seen as a negative feeling, but recent studies have shown that loneliness can actually increase creativity by activating the pleasure centers in the brain.

A study published in the journal Social Psychological and Personality Science found that loneliness can actually increase creativity by activating the pleasure centers in the brain. The study found that the isolated group had increased creativity compared to the social group. creativity is often associated with solitude - it's because introspection is needed for improvement. Loneliness can increase creativity by encouraging introspection.

Loneliness often leads to people spending more time alone, which in turn allows them to be more creative. You may also be more creative when you are lonely because you are more likely to be exploring your inner thoughts. When you are lonely, you may also be more likely to be focused and concentrated. In a way Loneliness can increase creativity by enhancing the ability to fantasize.  


We all need alone time every once in a while. It is much more needed if you are an introvert, in order to recharge your mind and body.  Lets learn to dream, again. The word Dream is so clichéd now, even every job resume has it. You should give Mind a blank canvas, every now & then to paint its fantasies on. Lets sit back and do nothing, with body & mind.

The bloodsucking Yakshi

When I was a kid, April and May fell in the list of my favourite months. Not because it's going to rain and there would be mud all around, but those are the months my cousins would be here at our family house, in our hometown in Kerala. Those are the memories I would cherish forever. My grand-mother has 5 offsprings, 4 boys and a girl. My father is the second eldest of five. Then, he was the only one staying in Kerala and everyone else was in different parts of India, a Pan-India Family one could say. We were all present, it's like Parliament, shouting, laughing, scolding children, people everywhere, busy doing their chores. An outsider entering the home can still go unnoticed. Life was less complicated then. We were just ........just ourselves. Everyone you valued dearly is with you. It's like, the world has shrunken to a square block of bricks and mortar. Now it's all feel like a fairy-tale, one of the best things about joint-family. We are all tired of day's...

THE EPIC - where to draw the line?

India is the land where history and myth get intertwined in such a way that you cannot say which is which. One of India's gift to the world of literature is her majestic epical wonder " Mahabharata ", attributed to some one(might be one person or many) called Vyasa or Vyas ( Ved Vyas ) which literally means one who dissected 'Veda' (religious and philosophical writings of Hindu religion). Research on this great epic revealed that many appendage had been done to the original text , before it became whole. Mahabharata's impact on Indian psyche is so profound that people consumed every word of it as such.  Characters were being worshipped as role models, like modern day Bollywood stars. As the generations passed by, line which divides the story and reality started blurring. Stories told and retold, appended stories that were not present at the beginning happened, kind of regional versions. Many dynasties and empires came and gone everyone tried to leave t...

Dream Catcher

Baby was cooing subtly while lying in her bed. Her eyelids are twitching quickly, and she seems fidgety. making tiny noises as though she's dreaming. Her tiny, chubby arms and legs are up in the air, perhaps grasping for something. "Don't worry, little one" a cool breeze swept the room, whispering softly to the baby. The dream-catcher that was hanging on the door began to cling to the wind. Baby's face is now serene. Her tiny legs and limbs are now at rest. She let out a small smile and a chuckle. She is enjoying her dream. She can hear dream-catcher singing to her. "   Oh.. creator of this  mighty   universe,      Please watch over her in your righteous way.      Be with her now, and guard her smile for eons to come   "
