       We often say, “It’s karma,” especially when someone gets what they deserve. But what does karma really mean? After 70 years of watching life unfold, I’ve learned that it is not as simple as “what goes around comes around.” There is a much deeper lesson behind it . The word karma comes from Sanskrit and is generally understood as action or deed. But our actions are rarely just physical. What we think and why we act also matter. It is not merely the physical act itself. Our intention, the choices we make, and the way we act toward others all have a place in the understanding of karma. If I had to explain karma in one sentence, I would say: what we do has consequences . Karma and Kriya — Are They the Same? There is another Sanskrit word, kriya, that is useful to understand here because it is often mentioned alongside karma .  Although their meanings can overlap depending on the context, they can be understood simply this way: In simple language, kriya is th...

 After decades together, how can two people who once shared everything slowly become strangers? After years of togetherness, the most painful distance is the one that happens inside the same home. I have seen marriages break — even after 20, 30, and sometimes more years. And every time I witness it, I keep returning to one question: how does a relationship that began with promises end with two people feeling like strangers? We often say marriage is made in heaven. Whether it starts as an arranged union or a love story, almost every couple begins with hope — hope for a shared life, for loyalty, for staying together through good and difficult days. In the beginning, there is affection, curiosity, and effort. When two people who were once strangers start living together, they slowly discover each other’s habits, temperaments, expectations, and weaknesses. They may find that they don’t always think alike. And that is perfectly normal. I think the trouble starts when every disagreement ...

When I think about how AI has entered our lives in such a short time, I sometimes find it hard to believe how much has changed. It can write, analyze information, answer questions, and complete tasks within seconds. Yet I often wonder: Can AI truly replace human thinking and judgement? Intelligence is more than processing information. Human experience, emotions, creativity, and wisdom also matter. AI may become more capable, but I still cannot imagine a machine replacing the understanding we gain from actually living a life. After having spent seven decades watching people, relationships, success, and failures, I now understand that life is rarely as simple as it first appears. I often wonder whether AI can ever possess the kind of judgement that comes from human experience. Recently, the developments in AI have significantly increased the scale of content shared across social media platforms. The major difference is that AI relies on digital data and math to spot patterns and do speci...

  Entering my 70s was a milestone worth celebrating . When I celebrated my 70th birthday, I noticed a quiet internal shift, and I began to see life differently. When I look back at my younger years, I realize how much importance I once gave to things that now seem far less significant. The worries of my 30s, 40s, and 50s have gradually lost their power. With the passing of years, I have come to value simple but important things in life- good health, meaningful relationships, time, and peace of mind. Looking back, I realize that I often postponed enjoying the present while preparing for the future. I also realize that as the years pass, some things fade into the background while others come sharply into focus. Here are some lessons that have become particularly meaningful to me : 1. Health Is the Foundation of Everything Ø Growing old does not mean your health will decline. Ø When I was younger, I spent many years believing that the next achievement, or the next promotion, would ...
