Threads That Bind Us

Across the world, we rise under different skies yet breathe the same air. A child’s laughter in Lagos, a mother’s prayer in Kyoto, a song in Rio—all carry the same rhythm of humanity. Borders are lines we draw, but emotions, dreams, and kindness know no walls.

In moments of quiet, it is clear: what we share far outweighs what divides. The world is not a collection of strangers, but one large family scattered across time zones. To recognize this is to live with empathy, to reach out, and to belong everywhere.

May this evening remind us—we are never alone in this vast, humming planet.

Europe’s Shared Soul


All rights reserved by the author
Date: 22/09/2025

Europe is more than lines on a map. It is a land where history walks beside modern life. You feel it in the narrow streets of Prague, the calm waters of the fjords in Norway, or the cafés of Paris where people still sit and talk for hours.

Its strength lies in the way so many cultures, languages, and traditions live side by side, yet share a sense of belonging. The bells of old churches, the strains of classical music, the quiet fields and busy cities—all carry the same pulse.

Even with its challenges, Europe continues to inspire the world, showing that tradition and change can live together. It is a place that teaches us how to remember the past and still move forward with hope.

Morning Whispers


All rights reserved by the author
Date: 22/09/2025

The sky stretches awake,
painting blush across its face.
A bird dares the silence,
notes floating like prayer.
Tea steam curls,
an invisible dance of comfort.
The world, though hurried,
pauses for a blink,
as if listening to its own heartbeat.

Let this day unfold gently,
with steps not too loud,
with smiles that spill quietly,
like sunlight slipping through leaves.

The morning whispers:
“Breathe, you are alive.”

The Old Banyan and the Village Children

A Gentle Story

21/09/25

At the edge of a small village stood an ancient banyan tree. Its roots touched the earth like a hundred arms, and its branches spread wide like a protective sky.

Every evening, children gathered under it—playing, fighting, laughing, and sometimes simply lying down, staring at the golden sunset through its leaves. The tree had seen generations grow, yet it remained young at heart, whispering stories through its rustling leaves.

One day, a boy asked the tree, “Why do you never get tired?”
The tree answered, “Because your laughter keeps me alive.”

The boy never forgot this. Years later, he returned as a grown man, bringing his children to the same banyan tree. And once again, the tree smiled in silence.

Let us also be like that tree—strong, giving shade, and keeping memories safe for tomorrow.

Assam’s Immortal Voice

Zubin: The Heartbeat of Assam


All rights reserved by the author
Date: 21/09/2025

Today, Assam waits with a heavy heart. Our most beloved artist, Zubin, the voice that carried our dreams, our love, and our tears, is returning—not to sing, but in silence. His body is expected from Singapore, but his music will never leave us.

Zubin was not only a singer. He was an actor, composer, and performer who gave Assam an identity on the world stage. From “Ya Ali” that echoed across continents, to Assamese songs that made every home vibrate with pride—his was a voice that united generations.

We remember him not just as a star, but as family. His loss is personal to each of us. As we wait for his return, let us pray, light a candle, and promise to keep his music alive forever.

Rest in peace, Zubin. You will live in every beat of Assam’s heart.

A Fresh Beginning 21/09/25

Title: A Cup of Morning Breeze

Good morning, dear friends.
Sometimes, the best way to begin the day is not with big ideas but with small blessings. A soft breeze through the window, a bird’s early song, the smell of tea or coffee—it all reminds us that life is quietly beautiful.

Let us step out today with lighter hearts, carrying no heavy load from yesterday. A new day does not ask us to be perfect; it only asks us to try again, and to smile a little more.

Have a refreshing day ahead.

Evenings Like Gentle Waves

Evenings are like gentle waves—they wash away the day’s noise and leave behind a calm tide. The tea may be lukewarm, the snacks mysteriously fewer than expected, but the laughter of family or the quiet of solitude makes up for everything.

This is the hour to sit back, breathe deep, and let thoughts float free like paper boats on a pond. No grand agenda, no ticking clock—just the soft comfort of knowing you made it through another day.

So tonight, let the stars do the talking. You just smile.

Ethiopia’s Coffee Story: More Than a Drink


All rights reserved by the author
Date: 20/09/2025

In Ethiopia, coffee is not just a morning ritual—it’s a way of life. Legend has it that a goat herder named Kaldi first discovered the magic of coffee beans centuries ago. Today, the Ethiopian coffee ceremony remains a cultural treasure.

It begins with roasting the beans in a small pan, the aroma filling the air. Guests gather, conversations bloom, and time seems to slow down. Unlike the quick grab-and-go coffees we sip elsewhere, here each cup is savored, shared, and celebrated.

This ritual is a reminder that coffee is more than caffeine—it’s connection, hospitality, and heritage. The next time you sip your latte, think of Ethiopia, where every cup still carries a story.

A Poem for a Playful Morning


All rights reserved by the author
Date: 20/09/2025

Wake up, dear friend, the sun is bright,
Your pillow still clings with all its might.
The tea is waiting, the toast is shy,
And the clock is laughing as minutes fly.

Don’t grumble now, don’t wear that frown,
The world won’t stop if you slow down.
So stretch, yawn big, and greet the day,
With humor to guide you along the way.
