We spend our life judging people…
Kabir says: Try looking within once.

Self-awareness is the beginning of wisdom.

The most honest conversations happen
when the world becomes quiet.

Saanjh – More than a conversation. 🌙

"I just published my first book – Whispers of Tradition 🪔 A collection of stories inspired by Indian rituals, memories, and childhood."

[Ritul Rai @11ritz]

"What made me write it? Growing up, I saw traditions being followed… but never explained. This book is my journey to understand the why behind them."

[Ritul Rai @11ritz]

Men weighed by duty,
women by love and labor—
both bridging gaps,
both carving wounds,
both craving
to belong.

Craving to Belong

A feeling of not belonging,
of missing festivals, food, rituals—
or just the people
who knew your childhood.

Nostalgia arrives quietly,
when you least have time for it.
It asks for tears,
for questions,
for the price of choices made.

[Ritul Rai @11ritz]

Does it help?
For a moment, maybe.
Until another rough day,
or a sweet one,
pulls you back
to memory’s lap.

Is it discontent?
A fake life?
Or simply human
to feel this way?

We leave home
to stand tall—
then search again for home
where we stand.

बे मेल विवाह न करने के लिए एक पूरे समाज को अगर प्रेरित करना हो, तो बस आप ये बोल कर नहीं सुधार कर सकते, कि ये गलत है, ऐसा मत करो। उसके लिए आपको एक के बाद एक उनको हर एक तरह से बताना होगा कि इतने गलत निर्णय का जीवन के किसी भी मोड पर कुछ अच्छा नहीं हो सकता

जीना कहीं और था, और जीवन कहीं और हो गया है,
जन्मा कोई और था और जिंदगी कोई और हो गया है।

And here we are, with all the social media and accessibility, only to find out more ways and ideas to fight over.

Anyways, sharing this old book which I am reading now

To all the people fighting over language today, our ancestors have always tried to embrace India and to know India as much as possible. Be it through language, dance, music or culture. Even then when means doing so were limited.

The one person who doesn't need anything from me. Even if I ask.. he will go on to the extent to say that he doesn't even have any need for it. Is my father!

Even those who took dowry then, and those who continue the practice today, know deep down that it’s wrong. Sadly, as long as it doesn’t destroy the lives of their own daughters, they simply don’t care.

The more you read the novel Nirmala, the more you realise the depth of effort put in by the scholars of that time to address pressing social issues.

[Ritul Rai @11ritz]

This novel doesn’t just highlight one social issue; it exposes multiple layers of injustice. At its root lies a cause that has fuelled countless such tragedies — the evil of dowry. So many cases could have been avoided if this practice didn’t exist. But who are we kidding?

अगर मुझे किसी कुप्रथा के बारे में बताना हो और ये सुनिश्चित करना हो, कि लोग उस बात को गंभीरता से ले, तो उस बारे में मै एक किताब लिखने का प्रयत्न करूंगी। ठीक उसी तरह, जिस तरह हमारे महान लेखक, प्रेमचंद्र जी ने अपनी उपन्यास 'निर्मला' को लिख कर किया।
