My little start!

The world around us is changing. The biggest and most painful thing that is hitting most of us is emptiness and loneliness and a sense of hopelessness. Acutely. The newspapers are testimony to this. The sheer number of suicides and depression cases are alarming and it is across all age groups. Many of us were lucky in having a simple, fairly safe happy childhood. Many not so. It is a little scary the world that we are passing on to our children.

This blog is my small attempt to both encapsulate little joys, personal stories that people can write to me to post that can change a life, bring some hope or maybe even save a life and will also function as an important platform for people to lend a hand, send some hope and to ask for help.

I have personally battled with loneliness, pain, fears and a lot of disillusionments too. So dear friends, I have been to hell and back.I know what a kind word can do at such times, and how much a thoughtful gesture can tilt the balance back to sanity and positivity. 

I would like to keep this blog open 24/7 to anyone who wants a kind word, some hope or just a sounding board that does not judge. Today you might need help, tomorrow you would be helping someone, we are all connected...

Love you all.

Life and the world is still beautiful and should stay so. For everyone.
