It’s strange! When filling out forms, my wife can choose to mention my name as her husband's name in official forms. But I don't have the option to mention her name as my wife's name. 🤥

I hate travelling because it offer me to get rid from all the screen & stop homo sapians to enjoy life like jombie. 🤐

It force me read and celebrate the experience of the wisdom of wise and unfortunetly read krishnamurti to feel the eco of silence inside. 🤫

Interpersonal psychology का शायद सबसे खूबसूरत शेर:

“परखना मत, परखने में कोई अपना नहीं रहता
किसी भी आइने में देर तक चेहरा नहीं रहता।”
: डॉ. बशीर बद्र

रिश्तों को बार-बार जांचने की आदत अक्सर रिश्तों की गर्माहट छीन लेती है।
कभी-कभी भरोसा ही सबसे बड़ी समझदारी होता है।

सलाम, भद्रा साहब। 🌿

Best example of learned helplessness: students after NTA exam. 🤔

This classic example deserves a special chapter in the Indian version of psychology textbooks.

If you're appearing for the CUET PG Psychology exam, pause for a second.

If Freud shows up in the paper… just remember he had theories about everything, so you probably studied at least one of them. 😄

➡️ If you forget a concept, don't panic. Your brain is just demonstrating a real-life example of retrieval failure.
➡️ If anxiety appears, observe it like a psychology student and mentally note: “Interesting emotional response. Will analyse later.”

Jokes apart, you’ve studied, revised, stressed, and survived the preparation phase. That already says a lot.
Now go into the exam hall with a calm mind, a little confidence, and maybe a tiny prayer that the questions are kinder than the syllabus. 😊

Good luck to all CUET PG Psychology aspirants.
Your future case studies are waiting. 🧠✨

Punjab announced 343 jobs for psychologists. People studied, gave exams, filled out forms, and made plans. And then the government said, “Actually nah, let’s outsource.”

That’s it. No closure. 🤨
The irony is wild. These friends were literally applying for jobs to help people cope with addiction, anxiety, and chaos… and then the system threw them straight into an anxiety arc of their own.
Meanwhile, every conference, panel, and LinkedIn post is screaming “mental health awareness.” Cool. Love that. But awareness without actual hiring is just motivational quotes with no budget.
This whole thing feels like ordering a therapist on Swippy and getting a “Sorry, restaurant not accepting orders right now.”

I recently attended a family function hosted by one of my colleagues, and it was such a joy to be part of their celebration. Spending time with their family reminded me that the success of your venture and yourself is also defined by how the lowest-level of employee is doing in their life. It's not a matter of pride; it's our responsibility to be with all those who supported you in your journey.

When someone in a junior role can support their family, celebrate their moments, and live with dignity and confidence, it speaks volumes about the environment we’re creating.
Feeling grateful and satisfied for moments like these that show what teamwork and unity truly mean.

Congratulations to you and family, Kuber.
Love to work with you. ❤️

Somewhere on our home planet.

You are spending time with yourself and people who are keen in psychology are the best companions. You always get these three no matter where you go.

खुद से या खुद को कष्ट देना उतना ही अमानवीय है जितना किसी अन्य जीवित प्राणी को।

Received the most heartbreaking news, Prof. J.P. Das is no more.
The man who gave us the PASS Model, who carried humility beyond words.
To me, he was family, mentor, and light.
Indian Psychology feels soulless without him.
We’ll miss you, Sir. 💔

We don’t need to be an expert on everything.
Choosing silence over instant opinion can also promote mental wellbeing.
Don't be too harsh in our opinions. 🌿

People told me it would never work. They were almost right.

When we published the first issue of Psychologs Magazine, I was uncertain, nervous, and honestly completely inexperienced in this space. I made countless mistakes (still do!), but one thing I never doubted was why we started: to make psychology accessible and mental health conversations visible in every corner of India.

I still remember how many people said, "It's not a good business idea. It'll drain your funds."
And I used to smile and reply, "Yes, it's not a business idea." 🙏🏻

But in reality, it was painfully difficult to bring out each issue month after month limited resources, financial strain, logistics, everything. After the first year, our initial excitement started to fade. The late nights, the printing struggles, the endless corrections, it all began to feel heavier.
Then one afternoon, during lunch, we received a call from a lady in Mysuru. She said, "My son told me he wants to see a psychiatrist. He feels lost and struggles with dark thoughts, but he gathered the courage to tell me because of #magazine. Thank you for your work "
That one call changed everything.
It reminded us why we began.
Since that day, every single message "Psychologs helped me." helped us #work toward awareness.
And somehow, money arrives, support appears, people come forward and the magazine keeps going. Maybe that's what blessings are: unseen hands that lift you when you're about to fall.

🙂 Even today, people still say, "It's not a good business idea."
And I still smile and say, "You're right." It's not a business idea.

Let's see what you did, your wishes make psychologs complete their 7 years. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
