A Letter to My Pen Pal

Dear Friend, I’m Nehemiah Dhariwal from Dhariwal. I’m super curious to know about you and hope you’ll write back soon!   This morning, as I was sipping my tea, I started wondering—are you a tea lover, or does coffee steal your heart? Honestly, I enjoy both.   I don’t really believe in zodiac signs, but just for fun—I’m a Cancer. Apparently, Cancers are quite emotional, and I’d say that fits me sometimes! What’s your zodiac sign? Do you think it matches your personality, or are you more practical or analytical?   Recently, I watched KGF and loved it! Are you into movies or are you more of a cricket fan? I’ve actually never played cricket and wouldn’t know where to start.   People say I’m a glass-half-full kind of guy. How about you—glass half full or half empty? I have a hunch you’re the optimistic type!   We haven’t met yet, but I hope we will someday and chat about everything under the sun. Until then, take care of yourself and do write...

A Difficult "No": My Honest Experience With an Arranged Match in Amritsar

A few years back, my elder brother’s friend Vijay Kumar told me he knew a potential marriage match for me—the sister of one of his friends. Soon after, my family, Vijay Kumar, and I all set off to meet the girl and her family in Amritsar. From the moment we arrived, her family welcomed us so warmly. They were joyful and made us feel right at home. After some tea ☕, the girl's brother called her in. She entered quietly, visibly shy and nervous (which is pretty common in these situations). Honestly, I didn’t feel any spark—maybe I didn’t like her that way, or maybe just nothing clicked for me. As per Punjabi custom, we gathered outside to talk it over. Vijay Kumar asked for my opinion, and I admitted I didn’t feel a connection. My family felt the same. It became clear to the girl’s family that things weren’t going to work out. Her shyness melted away, only to be replaced by noticeable sadness as she quietly slipped back into her room. Watching her reaction, a wave of guilt rushed ove...

Craving Roots, Chasing Wings: Your Journey to Balance

Security gives us roots, adventure gives us wings. 🌱✨ W e all crave a sense of security—steady routines, familiar places, and the comfort of knowing what tomorrow might bring. It’s the solid ground beneath our feet, the roots that keep us grounded when life gets stormy. But adventure? That’s the wind beneath our wings. It’s the thrill of stepping into the unknown, chasing new experiences, and letting curiosity lead the way. Adventure pushes us to grow, to risk, and to discover what we’re truly capable of. The real magic happens when we find the courage to balance both. Too much security can feel like being stuck; too much adventure can leave us feeling lost. But when we blend the two, life becomes richer and more meaningful. So, which one are you craving more these days—roots or wings? About me

From Rebel to Christmas Star: My Unexpected School Days Memory

As a student, I used to dread school life, thinking I'd never cherish any childhood memories. But, I'm here to share one unforgettable experience that might resonate with fellow "reluctant" students. During my time at United Christian Boys School, an annual Christmas play was a highlight. Each year, a different institution would perform, and when our school's turn came, I was surprised to be chosen as part of the cast. Why? Because I was known for my stand-up comedy skills in school, and apparently, that landed me a role. The play's theme was centered around the birth of Jesus Christ, and I was assigned the role of a person who denied room to Joseph and Mary. It was a comedic relief role, meant to add a lighthearted touch to the serious play. Honestly, I wasn't thrilled about the role – it wasn't the lead, and I wasn't even invested in the play. My motivation? Avoiding boring math classes and having some fun. Despite my initial reluctance, I sho...
