Chasing Time: Reflections on the Modern Lifestyle

 We live in an age where time feels shorter, even though the hours haven’t changed. The clocks still tick the same sixty seconds per minute, but our lives seem to rush past them. The modern lifestyle, for all its convenience and connection, has turned us into travelers constantly chasing time - running faster, yet arriving nowhere. Morning begins not with the sun but with the soft glow of a screen. We scroll before we stretch, read messages before morning prayers, and measure our worth in likes and notifications. The day unfolds in fragments -between deadlines, meetings, and endless errands - leaving little space for stillness. We have mastered multitasking but forgotten how to be. In our pursuit of efficiency, we’ve turned life into a race without a finish line. Technology promised us freedom, yet we find ourselves trapped in invisible networks of comparison and consumption. We celebrate productivity but neglect peace. We travel the world but rarely travel inward. The modern lifes...

When the Sun Hides Behind the Clouds

Image
  There are days when the bright sun suddenly disappears behind a blanket of clouds. The sky turns soft and grey, and the world seems quieter. The harsh brightness fades, leaving behind a calm and soothing light. It feels as though the sun has paused for a while, taking a short break from its daily duty of shining over the earth. When I watch the clouds cover the sun, I often find a strange sense of peace. The sun still glows faintly from behind, sending gentle rays through small openings in the clouds. It reminds me that even when we cannot see something, it may still be present-just hidden for a moment. Cloudy skies carry a quiet beauty of their own. They teach us that brightness and calm can coexist. The hidden sun becomes a symbol of hope and patience, showing that every period of shadow will eventually pass, and light will return again. So, when the sun hides behind the clouds, I no longer feel disappointed. Instead, I see it as nature’s way of reminding us to rest, to wait, a...

The Fire Within: Understanding the Nature of Desire

 Desire is one of the most powerful forces that move the human heart. It begins quietly -a spark in the mind, a small yearning in the soul -yet it has the power to shape lives, create dreams, and even destroy them. From the moment we open our eyes to the world, desire takes root. It grows when we see, feel, and imagine what could be ours, whispering that there is always something more to reach for. Sometimes, desire feels like a companion, walking beside us, guiding us toward purpose. It pushes us to learn, to love, to build, and to become. Without it, life might seem still and dull, like a painting without color. Desire gives motion to our ambitions and brings meaning to our struggles. It is the reason artists create, writers write, and dreamers chase stars that seem far away. Yet, desire also carries a darker side. When it turns into greed, obsession, or envy, it burns too fiercely, consuming what it once inspired. The same fire that lights our way can blind us if we forget to ba...

A Walk of Hope at Dibrugarh University

Image
 It was a quiet afternoon when I took this walk along one of the roads inside Dibrugarh University. The sun was slowly setting, pouring its golden light through the trees. I stopped for a moment and captured this picture. The rays of the sun spread across the road, and everything looked peaceful. The trees on both sides created a green tunnel, and the light at the end seemed to guide me forward. It felt like the sun was smiling down, giving warmth and comfort to whoever passed that way. As I looked at the photo later, I realized how much this road means to so many people. Every day, students walk here with dreams in their eyes. Some walk with books in their hands, others with music in their ears, all carrying their own hopes and stories. I thought of how many lives have crossed this same path, all seeking light -light in the form of knowledge, love, or a better tomorrow. That day, as I walked, I felt a calm joy in my heart. The afternoon light reminded me that even when life feels ...
