Love Without Attachment: The Valentine’s Day Lesson Nobody Teaches
Valentine’s Day has a talent for turning quiet love into loud expectations. Suddenly, romance becomes measurable. Did you plan enough? Did you post enough? Did you spend enough? Did you read their mind accurately enough to choose the “right” thing? And somewhere between the roses and the receipts, something more delicate gets trampled: the difference…

5 Reasons I’m Saying No to Bhajan Clubbing in India
The keyword I keep hearing, increasingly without irony, is bhajan clubbing in India. It arrives dressed as a modern bridge between youth culture and devotion. The promise is seductive: come as you are, bring your friends, sing God’s name, feel a collective high, and leave “uplifted”. I understand the impulse. Many people are lonely, burnt…

Mental Health, Spirituality and Life Coaching: An Indian Perspective
Mental health spirituality life coaching is not a trendy trio for me. It is the language of survival, and later, the language of purpose. When I sit with clients in Mauritius, I often notice something familiar behind the polite smiles: a quiet fatigue that has learned to behave. People are coping well, performing well, and…

Fame, But No Ego: 5 Yogi-Qualities I See in Arijit Singh
When most people hear the word “yogi”, they imagine saffron robes, incense, a calm gaze, and a mountain in the background. Fair enough. Our minds love theatre. But yoga, at its core, is far less performative and far more inconvenient. It is how you behave when you could easily become arrogant. It is how you…

We’ve All Seen the Nihilist Penguin. But What If It Isn’t Nihilism at All?
I watched that lone penguin waddle away from the colony and felt an uncomfortable honesty rise in my chest. Not pity. Not laughter. Recognition. The internet called it “nihilism”. Nothing matters. Life is pointless. Cue the dark captions and the collective sigh. Yet the scene doesn’t land like surrender. It lands like a quiet refusal…

The overachiever’s secret panic: when doing more is how you survive
I meet them in coaching rooms all the time. People who do not fall apart. They optimise. This high-functioning trauma response can look like ambition on the outside, and feel like quiet survival on the inside. They arrive on time, reply fast, remember everything, and handle crises with the calm of an air-traffic controller. Their…

Stop Asking “How Are You?” It’s the Loneliest Question We Still Use
I have spent years in coaching rooms, watching people arrive with polished smiles and heavy hearts, and I keep noticing the same pattern when Stop Asking “How Are You?” It’s the Loneliest Question We Still Use becomes the quiet truth beneath our everyday greetings. I have also met them outside, in cafés, corridors, at weddings,…

The Game of Reactions: It’s Your Reactions That Define Your Day
I have coached people who earn seven figures and people who are rebuilding their lives from scratch. Strangely, the same small villain shows up in both stories: the game of reactions, where an unexamined reaction quietly takes the driver’s seat and starts steering the day. Not the event. Not the traffic. Not the colleague’s tone.…

My Book at Ganga Talao: When a Reader Turns Pages into Prayer
A Mauritian reader sent me photographs of my book “The Tri-Intelligence Leadership: Mastering IQ, EQ, and SQ” from Ganga Talao (Grand Bassin, Mauritius). Temples stood in the background. Deities watched with that familiar stillness that makes your mind feel a little too loud. I looked at those pictures longer than I expected. Not because I…
