Ear It Is!

  Ear It Is! By Aurora Bluemoon   The little stretches and bends of our hands and legs can instantly refresh our body. In the same way, the right kind of mental exercise keeps our brain active, alert, and ready to grow. Mental exercises aren’t always about complex calculations or memorising heavy textbooks — they can be as simple and profound as meditation or learning new skills or solving a puzzle that sparks the brain.  As the saying goes, “You are what you eat,” — a thought I explore deeply in my book Subtraction: Mind Minimalism (see the chapter Mind Feast). Just like the food we consume shapes our body, the thoughts, beliefs, and words we consume too shape our mind and personality. Listening, Speaking, Reading, and Writing (LSRW)- We consider language acquisition and communication skills, focusing on speaking and writing. Yet the foundation of all communication is LISTENING. Listening is more than just hearing sounds — it’s an act of filtering, processing, and trans...

My Bonds!

  My Bonds, My Tongue My Passionate Bond, I am often in awe of my passions, one of which I have never expressed explicitly: my love for Tamil, my native language and my adoration for English. Tamil is a link that goes deep inside my nerves, impacting my identity and outlook on the world. My mother tongue is more than a language to me; it is a source of pride and a cultural legacy that I cherish.

Beyond My Desk: Tax, Tea, and Typography

Beyond My Desk: Taxes, Tea, and Typography Who Am I? The question seems simple, yet it carries layers of meaning and values. Most of us answer it with our profession, our relationships, our roles or the responsibilities we carry. But do those truly define who we are? Not long ago, I came across a question on social media that quietly challenged everything I thought I knew about myself and made me pause for a second: "Would you date yourself?" With what we are, will we be able to date ourselves? If yes, we are indeed living a heartfelt life. If not, then we should work on it. Another question that made me pause my answer and thrown into a pool of confusion is, "Could you introduce yourself?" Which version of me should I introduce? The reader? The entrepreneur? The writer? The editor? The storyteller? The artist? The daughter, wife, friend? Then comes another question just as often, "How do you manage everything?" People assume the answer is time management....
