Sula Vineyards: A Sip of Sunshine from India’s Premier Winery

Sula Vineyards has put Indian wines on the global map, blending passion with the perfect soil of Nashik. From humble beginnings to the country’s leading winery, Sula’s story is one of resilience, flavour, and continuous growth. Let’s uncork the essence of Sula Vineyards, uncover its secrets, and peek into what the future holds for this pioneering company. What is the Story of Sula Vineyards? When Rajeev Samant returned to India after studying and working in Silicon Valley, few could imagine that this young man would eventually transform an unassuming piece of land in Nashik into India’s largest vineyard. In 1996, with the help of Californian winemaker Kerry Damskey, Samant decided to start an ambitious experiment. Could India, a country known for its spices and teas, produce world-class wines? Back then, Nashik was famous for its grapes, but mostly the table variety. No one had thought of turning these grapes into high-quality wines. Rajeev, however, was convinced of the potential. Aft

Strength in Kindness: The Quiet Strength of Lubna

Meet Lubna, a woman with a soul of warmth and resilience, who is no stranger to life’s brutal storms. Amid a charming town with moody weather and unpredictable tides, she proves that kindness doesn’t mean fragility. Her story, threaded with love, and quiet strength, is an invitation to question the courage behind kindness and the strength in calm. When Lubna first arrived in the windswept town of Doverby, the townsfolk were charmed by her gentle warmth. But little did they know, her kindness wasn’t born from softness; it was honed in the fires of past trials. As Doverby’s quiet days are threatened by hidden turmoil, Lubna’s strength and resolve rise, surprising everyone who ever mistook her kindness for weakness. I can still remember the day I first saw her. It was the kind of day that forces you to question everything, including why the weather is so stubbornly dramatic in this part of the world. The clouds rolled in like they had a vendetta, yet the sun broke through in patches, cast

Can You Really Inherit a Broken Heart?

In a journey through inherited wounds, Myka unravels the heartbreak buried in her family’s past. With satirical wit, raw honesty, and a touch of irony, she faces her mother and grandmother’s stories, piecing together how invisible scars shaped them all. Through laughter, tears, and tough conversations, she questions if healing can finally break the cycle. I remember the first time my mother cried about her mother. It was like watching a flood spill over a dam, only I didn’t know where the dam was or why it was holding so much water in the first place. I was seven, probably upset over some schoolyard squabble, and Mum just... burst. A long, strange, stream of words tumbled out—something about “history repeating itself,” and “pain that wasn’t even hers to carry.” It made absolutely no sense to me, but then, it would take another twenty years of therapy, arguments, and terribly revealing family dinners to begin piecing it all together. It turns out, there is science behind it, too. Studie

Gulliver’s Travels by Jonathan Swift - A Whimsical Adventure

In Gulliver’s Travels , Jonathan Swift’s classic satire dressed as a children’s fantasy tale, we follow Lemuel Gulliver’s voyages to distant, peculiar lands. From miniature Lilliputians to towering Brobdingnagians, Gulliver’s encounters reveal the quirks, flaws, and folly of humankind in ways that amuse, provoke thought, and beguile readers of all ages. Is Gulliver’s Travels  still relevant? When I picked up Gulliver’s Travels , it felt like stepping into a whirlwind of satire, imagination, and timeless observations on human nature. Though it is catalogued as a children’s classic, Swift’s tale is more than an adventure—it is a mirror, held up to human society in all its vanity, ambition, and absurdity. Written in 1726, Gulliver’s Travels remains a literary masterpiece over 290 years later. Jonathan Swift used Gulliver’s journeys as a way to criticise politics and humanity at large. Swift was particularly inspired by the injustices faced by the Irish people, and his wit made him a cele

When Help Hides: A Story of Reaching Out and the Unseen Wounds

When Khayati, a bright woman in her 30s, finally found the courage to seek support for her hidden scars, she wasn't prepared for the silence that would greet her. This story isn’t just about healing from trauma but from the wounds inflicted when support was met with disbelief, judgment, or averted gazes. Navigating this emotional maze, Khayati finds that healing often requires battling the world’s apathy as much as one’s inner demons. 1. "Did you think seeking help was the hardest part?" “Did you hear that?” I turned to Khayati, who was deeply engrossed in her latte. “They’ve made it illegal to have a good mental health day without a 48-hour notice!” She rolled her eyes, smiling. “You’re being dramatic again.” “Always,” I admitted, waving a hand around the cafe where the usual crowd of wannabe poets and coffee connoisseurs sat, each trying to look more important than the other. But Khayati, with her wild, curly hair, her oversized glasses, and her penchant for wearing clo
