This morning I woke up at 4 am with the start of an excruciating episode of stomach pain (only too familiar to me). I lay waiting to see if it would escalate while praying that it wouldn’t. However, that was a futile prayer because sure enough, it was one...
When Life Happens…
“What we can do?”
Yes, you read that right. My colleague and friend, Gaurav Sharma, utters these words on a regular basis. We’d catch the train together some mornings and “complain” about work or a particular situation (As one does from time to time). After getting it all out, he would usually end...
We are not meant to live forever
There’s something I’ve always read and seen but never fully paid attention to. When we die, we leave this world just as we came into it, with nothing. All our possessions and wealth, no matter how big or small will be left behind. As a human race, we seem...
When people take advantage of your good nature
I don’t think of myself as the kind of person who would purposely take advantage of anyone else. In fact, I know I’m not. But, it gets me thinking about people who do this though. What is it that drives them? How do they get it right to disregard...
Happy Thanksgiving…
Yesterday Facebook notified me of Thanksgiving. I personally have never celebrated it but when I saw it with the suggestion to wish people on my Friends list…I thought “Why not?“. It doesn’t matter whether or not I celebrate a special day to be thankful. What matters is what it...
Am I depressed?
A few weeks ago, I had a mental and spiritual outburst/breakdown. I’ve always been one to say things like “God is in control. Have faith and trust. See obstacles as challenges but don’t give in and just believe“. There is no end to the advice I would offer to...
Why let work make you anxious?
How often don’t we let work stress us out? Is it really worth it? I’m sure, just like me, you’ve been there too. Getting all worked up because of something someone at work didn’t do or, because of the decisions management make that affect you negatively. Maybe you’re a...
When doctors develop a God-like complex
I had a consultation with a specialist earlier this week, not Hydrocephalus-related, who uttered the words “When doctors develop a God-like complex“. These words struck me a bit and got my mind wandering. The consultation itself was one, which left my mind reeling as now I’m facing surgery…yet again....
Just keeping you updated
A few weeks ago, I introduced and opened the doors to Skyewaters.com. However, along with the unknown of this blogging/website territory, comes a few errors and lessons learnt along the way. I realised that my followers from Skyewater33 (my previous site) had not actually followed me as magically as I would...
A view of the scar on my soul
Today is a special day for me, it’s my birthday! I love birthdays, I love the attention but absolutely cringe because of it too…confusing, right? I enjoy making other people feel special, I enjoy making a big fuss about everyone else – especially on their birthday. Yet, when it...
