Rain fell in soft, uneven rhythms on the city streets, turning asphalt into rivers of reflected light. She walked alone under the hum of neon signs and the occasional shuttered café, her umbrella a flimsy shield against the monsoon that mirrored the quiet tempest inside her. In a world that rushed past, everyone chasing immediacy, she carried a secret rhythm of her own—a silent heartbeat that belonged to nobody yet resonated with everything. She had learned to move through life like a shadow in a crowded room, unnoticed but observing. The way people laughed too loudly, touched too quickly, and whispered promises they would forget by sunset made her chest tighten with both longing and a strange relief. She understood now that love in its rawest form need not always be possessed. Sometimes, it merely needed to exist, in glances, in shared silences, in the tiny, fleeting spaces between two souls. He appeared as if conjured by the same monsoon magic. Not in a grand gesture, but in a s...

Imagine a student who was once a school topper, effortlessly excelling in every subject. But now, in a world of endless notifications and distractions, they struggle to focus for even 30 minutes. Deadlines pile up, productivity drops, and frustration takes over. The worst part? They don’t know why. Sounds familiar? The modern world has made deep work—intense, distraction-free focus—almost impossible. But what if I told you that the ability to do deep work is a neurobiological phenomenon that can be trained ? And that thousands of years ago, the Bhagavad Gita already revealed the secret to mastering it? Let’s explore how neuroscience and ancient wisdom come together to help us reclaim our lost focus. Deep Work = Attention × Time Deep work isn’t just about working hard—it’s about working with full attention for a sustained period . Your ability to focus depends on: ✅ Attention – Directing your mind toward a single task without distractions. ✅ Time – Allowing your brain to...
By CogniGirl He had a crush in class 11. Cute, right? Classic classroom whisper, stolen glances, that teeny-tiny spark. I didn’t feel much back then. But love? It plays hide and seek sometimes. I caught feelings in class 12. When distance crept in like silence at midnight, my heart started filling with questions he never cared to answer. We met a few times. Maybe three or four. A long-distance “relationship,” if you could even call it that. Hand holding, awkward smiles, and words like "I’ll marry you one day." Words that now feel like they were copy-pasted straight off some cheap Shayari page on Instagram. He once sent me this line — “Tujh mein rab dikhta hai.” Bro, Google dikhta hai. Rab nahi. The first month was sweet. You know that kind of fake honeymoon phase where your heart says, “This is it,” and your brain goes on a mini vacation? Then came the storm. Unread messages. Weeks of silence. The ghosting. The seen-zoned pain. It broke me. I used to cry quietl...
🌊 Opening Scene: A Walk, A Truth, A Mirror There’s something about Alia Bhatt’s performance in the opening hour that doesn’t feel like acting . She isn’t delivering lines — she’s living a confusion many of us carry. In that morning walk scene with her friends, where tension bubbles under sarcasm and suppressed tears — it’s not just cinematic; it’s relatable . The character isn’t painted as “heroic” or “broken” — she’s just human . Unfiltered. And that’s the power of the portrayal. You don’t watch her — you become her. Especially if you’ve ever loved the wrong person, ghosted the right one, or found yourself torn between memory and reality. 🧠 Mental Health: The Conversation We Needed Let’s talk professionally for a second. Dear Zindagi deserves serious praise for how it unpacks therapy. The arrival of Jehangir Khan (Shah Rukh Khan) isn’t some over-dramatic saviour arc — it’s realistic, warm, and gradual. Dr. Khan doesn’t throw pills. He throws questions . Gentle, pier...
