The Unspoken Power of Sisterhood

There is something unshakable about the bond between women who share more than just moments — they share lifetimes. Female friendships are not merely social connections; they are lifelines, invisible threads binding hearts that understand each other’s unspoken aches.


True sisterhood often grows quietly, in the spaces between laughter and tears. It’s in the knowing glance when words are too heavy to say aloud. It’s in the gentle “I’m here” that comes without a single question asked. These bonds become especially deep when women walk parallel paths — juggling the weight of keeping a family happy, maintaining a balanced home, striving to be the best partners they can be, and still finding pieces of themselves in the process.


Sometimes it begins with shared trauma or mutual pain — a loss, a heartbreak, an invisible struggle — and somehow, that mutual understanding becomes the soil in which trust and compassion bloom. Through the years, the friendship becomes a sacred place where both women can take off the mask they wear for the world. A place where imperfections are welcomed, where failures are met with “I understand” rather than judgment.


What makes these friendships extraordinary is not just the empathy, but the strength that passes back and forth like a torch. When one falters, the other carries the flame. When one doubts herself, the other becomes her reminder of resilience. There is no scoreboard in sisterhood — only the constant, quiet exchange of strength, hope, and faith.


This bond is not about avoiding hardships; it is about facing them together. It is in the whispered late-night calls, the quick check-ins, the shared laughter over the absurdities of daily life, and the fierce defense of each other’s dignity when the world threatens to chip away at it.


Women in true sisterhood understand that their power doesn’t come from never falling apart, but from holding each other together long enough to heal — or at least to breathe. They become the safe harbor for each other’s storms, knowing that when the seas are calmer, the joy will be doubled because it is shared.


In a world that often underestimates the emotional labor women carry, female friendships become acts of quiet rebellion — proof that even under immense pressure, women can find joy, strength, and solidarity in each other. This is not just friendship. This is survival. This is love. This is sisterhood.

When the Past Knocks After a Decade

 There are moments in life that begin to shake you before they even arrive. Moments that make your chest heavy, your breath shallow, and your mind spiral into old rooms you fought so hard to escape. I’m standing at the edge of one of those moments. After ten years, this isn’t a reunion. It’s not about closure or reconnection. It’s necessity. It'about her. She’s nine now. A lifetime has passed since the last meet . She doesn’t remember much, not really. But she knows enough. She knows through my guarded silences, the papers she’s seen, the questions I still struggle to answer. She senses the tension. She feels the shift in my energy. And just like me, she’s anxious. What breaks me is how we’re both trying to protect each other. She wants to be brave for me, and I want to be unshakeable for her. That silent pact between mother and daughter—unspoken, but deeply felt—wraps itself around my heart like armor and ache all at once. No one understands the full weight of this. No one saw the...

We Don’t Truly Heal — We Just Try to Choose Better

 People like to say time heals everything. That wounds close, that pain fades, that trauma becomes just a distant memory. But the truth is harsher, less comforting: we never fully heal from our deepest wounds. We carry them. They become a part of us. What we do — on our best days — is try to make better choices. We try to build lives that feel happier, safer, more secure. We choose new partners, new routines, new surroundings, hoping these choices will create a gentler world for ourselves and those we love. But these new choices do not erase what came before. They simply build around it. And when those choices fail — when a relationship ends, when trust is broken again, when stability crumbles — it feels like ripping open an old wound. But this time, it doesn’t heal quite the same way. The scar tissue is thicker, the pain more familiar, and yet more bitter because we had let ourselves hope. Trust becomes fragile. Love feels conditional. Contentment becomes a shifting target. Stabil...

From Bibi, with love

First of all, thank you so much to everyone who has read my first entry and given all sorts of positive feedback. You have no idea how motivating it is and how much it has encouraged me to continue. My mother was the first to read it and without her saying anything back, her smile meant the world to me as she is one of the few people who know how much I always loved to write. Also, it was funny how so many of you kept asking about the 10th of July 😁. I promise all will be revealed in good time. In the meantime, let's talk about partnership. They say finding the right life partner is a gamble, a risk into the unknown. I remember asking my late Bibi about her life with my Babu and the glow in her eyes reflected endless love. They had both come from failed first marriages and somehow found solace in each other. She told me "I didn't want anything else after marrying him". I never got to meet my late Babu, but I am certain he would have had a lot more to say, my Bibi was...
