Whatever the species, a husband’s situation is the same. King of the jungle… until the queen gives him that look. 😜

On a drizzly afternoon, I make coffee a little stronger and carry it to the window. The first sip is too hot. By the second, I have forgotten what was so urgent five minutes ago.

Purush provoked. Parinda petrified. Prahaar’s preparations provided personal proximity: Patekar practising, preparing, pursuing perfection.
Powerful performances. Piercing presence.
Patekar passes. Performances persist.

We learn to fight death. Who teaches us to sit beside it?
To ease the pain. To listen. To let a family hold a hand without reaching through tubes.

Under these trees, Bengaluru briefly forgets to hurry. A large 2025 study linked longer walking bouts with lower cardiovascular risk in less-active adults. Make room for health before illness makes room for itself.

@DrKristieLeong Some days I spend longer deciding when to exercise than a flight of stairs would take. There’s probably a lesson in that.

Mekedatu, back in our PG days at Govt Ayurvedic Medical College. Caps tilted, sleeves rolled, the whole future still ahead. Funny how an old photo brings back the laughter before you remember the year. Miss those boys. Miss being one of them.

A narrow path, tall grass, coconut trees. On my morning walk, I catch myself slowing down to look. Leave a little time for that. A walk is richer when you bring home something you noticed.

Rain has emptied the park of children. The swings hang still beneath the trees. Outside the fence, wet flowers lie on the road. Bengaluru will count the traffic delayed. Who counts the afternoon a child lost?

Your morning walk has a built-in fitness test: your voice. Walk briskly enough to talk, but not sing, that’s moderate intensity. Your walking partner gets the conversation; your heart gets the workout. The trees are spared your singing.

“Ayurvedic samosa” with 10 herbs. Finally, a samosa that treats the guilt of eating a samosa. Waiting for the jalebi to announce its diabetes clinic. 😂 #Ayurveda #Samosa #WellnessMarketing

We drink coffee to wake the brain. The liver may appreciate it too. 354,957 adults, 13 years—coffee intake linked to lower risks of cirrhosis and liver cancer. Even decaf. Encouraging evidence; no licence to turn your cup into a dessert.
