What did we expect? After removing everything that has fundamentally been our moral compass for years from our curriculum, we are now blaming everything else for the mental health crisis, except ourselves. If we are doing away with something this significant, something equally strong should replace it. A nation without an inherent moral foundation is...
This week has witnessed something unusual. It has seen not only a glimmer of light into the future but has probably shed light on a quiet national thirst. A thirst, not only for change, but for a renewal. This must, however, be credited to a question raised by a member of parliament on whether our...
In a world that is heavily stricken with a mental health crisis, it is worth sitting back, relaxing and reflecting on where we could have gone wrong as a country. Often when we talk about mental health, we seem to focus on how to deal with the symptoms rather than looking at sustainable and systematic...
In 2025, it should no longer be debatable but clear as a blue sky that the world is a stage and we are all actors. It will also be wild not to see just how, in the name of progress and development, life has become so scripted. This is to the point that one may...

About two decades ago, the world witnessed a great hype about a book titled ‘The Secret’. It was so highly spoken of, and many may have tried their best to make the author’s notion become their reality. Unfortunately, just as it is with many “too-good-to-be-true” concepts, to some, it became an obsession. In its exaggeration,...
It takes a lot of emotional courage and a sad hard look at life to see it all for what it truly is. A mere constructed and co-opted way of life, and not even one bit of it is natural any longer. I t seems like living in a dream that has no end, yet...
