Why Workers Are Leaving Delhi: When Policy Needs to Align With Ground Reality
What emerges from this moment is not a singular crisis but a layered one, shaped by global disruptions, local cost pressures, and structural vulnerabilities. Workers are leaving Delhi not because the city has stopped offering work, but because it has become increasingly difficult to live sustainably in the capital city while working.
Price Tag of Deception: How Fast Fashion Exploits South Asia’s Supply Chain
It is high time South Asian countries not only pass stricter environmental regulations but also strictly enforce them, making sure that there is no factory releasing waste water without adequate treatment. Besides, upholding legally binding labour standards must also be a priority together with ensuring safety of the workplace environment.
How Korean Noodle Brands Captured the Indian Market
The Korean noodle story is not really about noodles. It is about what happens when cultural influence travels faster than commercial infrastructure and faster than regulatory awareness. India's Gen Z - and possibly that of other South Asian countries - did not wait for brands to tell them what to eat. They watched K-dramas, did spice challenges, and built market demand that brands, regulators, and consumer education campaigns have simply not kept up with.

The Paradox of Time- Life’s Pantomime
Is my Time really mine
Or, is there a paradox there,
Conscience
Light up the wick of Conscience,
And the waiting lamp within,
Chisel Away
Does too much joy a sadness bring
Must there be little bits of everything,
Tears and Time and the Rivers
Rivers flow but they tell us no more
Where they come from , where they go,
Sermons, Soliloquys, are an awful Bore!
Since we don’t know why we are here
Let’s do what the the Heaven we like,
Let’s Think Again
Impatience they say, now holds sway
Impatience will bring forth gains,
I C B M's
You see, I C B M’s, as the much-touted
One Man, One Woman, That is All
When life’s no more than each breath we take,
Than the days and nights that we call the past,
Materialism at its Zenith
Materialism’s at its Zenith Now
But, Money can’t buy God nor ever will,
Where is the Human Connect Today?
It’s not about Perfection
But, all about Connection,
Befriend your Fears
The look in your eyes is no surprise,
The fear I see is meant to be
To An Old Friendship
I think I knew who lived here once
And, I think, I knew him well,
Twilight
Twilight, that time between sunset and nightfall
When Orange, nay Red, is the colour of the sky,
How Arty is the World of Artificial Intelligence,( AI )
Is AI the way forward, or
Out there to destroy Humanity,
