Queen
This past weekend, we watched the Hindi Bollywood movie, Queen, for probably the 100th time. No kidding. It is one of our favorites from recent times and also because Netflix warned us it will be gone from the platform from June 30th. We just wanted to watch some portion of it but ended up watching…

The Change We Resist
There’s a strange tension in the air lately. You can sense it online and offline, especially when people talk about AI.

Clearing the Cache
There are moments when you don’t make an announcement. You don’t argue. You don’t explain. You just… quietly subtract.

mPath Services…now on YouTube!
The mPath journey continues — now with sound, slides, and a YouTube link. You knew this day would come. Okay, I knew this day would come, eventually. After months of writing, reflecting, and building mPath Services from the ground up (with blog posts, coaching vibes, and my personal stories), I’ve taken the next tiny-but-mighty step:…

Too Big to Fail. Too Big to Nail. Too Big to Jail.
I recently came across this phrase—originally used to describe banking giants during the 2008 financial collapse: “Too big to fail. Too big to nail. Too big to jail.” Catchy, right? Almost absurd in its rhythm—and yet… painfully true.

What a month it’s been! If May were a mood board, it’d be a blend of ctrl-alt-delete keys, tornado sirens, heartfelt memories, and long-distance hugs. Each blog this month carried a common thread: making space—physically, emotionally, digitally—for what truly matters.

My ‘Deer’ – Please don’t do this!
No, there is no typo. Umpteen years ago, when we first moved into our beautiful neighborhood, the sight of a deer family grazing gracefully in our yard felt like a Disney movie. Fawns frolicking, proud parents watching—it was charming, magical even. Guests would say, “You have deer in your front yard? Wow, you’re so lucky!”…

“Can I Borrow This?”
Let’s talk about something that sounds boring but really isn’t: ownership. Specifically, ownership of the words, videos, images, reflections, aha moments, and every little digital breadcrumb you see across this website. They’re not just pixels. They’re pieces of me.

This is My WHY
“People don’t buy what you do; they buy why you do it.” — Simon Sinek I’ve always loved that quote. Simon Sinek, one of my favorite authors, reminds us that clarity of purpose isn’t just good branding, it’s soul work. And for me, this season of reflection, writing, and launching mPath Services has been just…

Where in the World Are You Reading From?
They say your thoughts can travel far—turns out, so can your blog. Over the past few months, I’ve noticed something fascinating: people are reading my posts from all corners of the globe. Countries I’ve never visited, time zones I can’t keep track of, and cultures I’m endlessly curious about.

When the Sky Turns Without Warning
It was supposed to be just another Friday. One of those productive, get-it-done kind of days. The contractor was scheduled for a long-awaited home project, and the grass, thriving from recent rains, desperately needed mowing. I aimed to wrap up these tasks before the forecasted storms rolled in.
