If you have ever stood near the sea at night, the Moon can feel like a witness. It is quiet, constant, and almost indifferent. But the ocean does not treat it like decoration. Shorelines breathe in and out, twice a day, across the planet. Fishing plans, shipping schedules, and the survival of coastal life all […]
The Moon and the Stories We Attach to It Read More »
Data feels like truth because it arrives as a number. A clean figure. A chart that climbs or drops. A dashboard that looks calm even when the day behind it is not. We live in an age where almost everything important can be measured, and almost everything measured begins to feel important. Data is not

There is a moment that arrives before big choices, and it rarely looks dramatic from the outside. It looks like stillness. A hand hovering over send. A foot on the brake a little longer than necessary. A conversation you keep rehearsing and then postponing. You have done the thinking. You have collected the facts. You
Water Is Still the First Constraint The tap sounds different when it is almost empty. It is not dramatic at first. The stream just thins while you rinse a cup, and you catch yourself turning the handle again as if water might reappear through effort. In some homes it shows up during the most ordinary

Privacy used to feel like a distant idea. Something discussed in policy rooms, or in the language of rights, or as a concern for people with something to hide. For most people, it stayed abstract because the consequences stayed abstract. Your life felt physical. Your relationships felt local. Your identity felt like something you carried

Not through our eyes alone. Not even through our experiences, as “real” as they feel. The world reaches us filtered through a quieter thing, the question that is running in the background, shaping what we notice, what we ignore, and what we decide something means. If the question inside you is “What could go wrong,”

In India, climate change doesn’t arrive like a headline. It arrives like a small betrayal in the body. A night that should have cooled down, but didn’t. A summer that leans past your tolerance earlier than it used to. A monsoon that shows up late, or all at once, or in the wrong places. You

Two people can live through the same moment and carry home two different realities. One hears a comment and remembers it as playful. Another hears the same words and remembers a sting that lasts all day. One reads silence as peace. Another reads it as rejection. We don’t experience life only as it is. We
