The hidden virtue of closed doors

In our information-saturated world, the urge to know everything can sometimes do more harm than good. There are moments when knowing less can actually protect our peace of mind and emotional well-being.

Information can empower, but it can also overwhelm. Diving deep into every detail of life's complexities can uncover truths that are hard to handle, leaving us feeling sad and helpless.

Simple examples in life- Consider finding out that your favourite food, which brings you joy and comfort is actually harmful.

Imagine delving into a close friend's deepest secrets, only to find out they have been hiding a painful past or a significant betrayal. This knowledge could irreparably damage your relationship and cause emotional complexities.

Picture a beautiful mountain range you love to visit. Discovering that the opposite side is barren.

"Some doors should be kept closed to avoid getting hurt."

There is wisdom in practicing selective ignorance. This doesn't mean shutting ourselves off from the world or avoiding necessary information. Instead, it involves being mindful of the types of information we seek out and consume. In essence, not knowing everything isn't a weakness; it's a strategy for maintaining a balanced, positive life.

Meghalaya and the Wisdom of Slow Living

Some feelings take time to settle, to make sense, to find their own rhythm. And today, without planning, without forcing it, I felt it quietly within me, today is the day . As I drifted back into old memories, my mind travelled to Meghalaya. Not just the place, but the feeling it left behind. The kind of feeling that stays with you long after the journey ends.

In that moment, everything felt aligned. Meghalaya taught me something I didn’t know I was searching for: that life doesn’t need to be rushed. That at the end, everything works out if it’s truly meant to be. We often hurry towards people, goals, answers; fearing that if we don’t chase them fast enough, they’...

Finding Myself in the Heart of Himachal

There’s something about the slow mornings in the mountains that forces you to pause, breathe, and listen—to yourself, to nature, and to the silence in between. Waking up to the golden sun rays filtering through the wooden window of my homestay, I felt warmth against my skin, yet a deep cold within. The crisp mountain air carried with it the scent of pine and damp earth, wrapping around me like an old, familiar embrace. I stared outside, where clouds collapsed gently into the snow-capped peaks, blending white into green, as if nature itself was undecided yet at peace with it. For the first time in a long while, I wasn’t rushing. There was no urgency, no notifications demanding my attention, no expectations pulling me in different directions. Just me and the view—a breathtaking panorama of life untouched by chaos. I sipped on my warm tea, my fingers barely holding onto its heat, and for a brief moment, I wished my heart could be the same—numb, untouched by emotions that no longer served ...
