Small Acts of Kindness

The summer heat seeped into the house, drying everything in its scorching glare. Yet, amidst that heat, a tiny clock kept ticking—just outside my window, two small sparrows were tirelessly swaying, trying to build their home in the relentless summer sun.

For the past two days, I had been watching them. One by one, they brought twigs, working diligently, yet every time they tried to form their nest, it kept falling apart. Seeing their persistence, a feeling stirred within me. I picked up an unused box and modified one side to create a safe shelter for them.

At first, the sparrows were cautious. They circled the box, peeked inside, and hesitated—"Is this safe?" But slowly, they began to accept it, turning the box into their new home.

Every day, I watched as the box filled up, the sparrows chirping happily, a new vibrant world thriving just outside my window. Then another thought struck me—"They will need water!" So, I placed a small bowl filled with water beside them.

Soon enough, I saw them quenching their thirst, carrying water in their tiny beaks to their nest. Watching this filled my heart with an indescribable peace.

It was a small act, yet the emotion behind it was profound. The joy I couldn’t express in words echoed in the cheerful chirping of the sparrows. Doing something, no matter how small, for someone else brings a happiness beyond words.

Is there something small you can do for someone today? Perhaps it will bring you the same deep, heartfelt peace!

It's Okay to Not Have a Huge Friend Circle

The funny thing about labels, isn't it? We slap them on people as easily as we double-tap an Instagram post. "Friend." It rolls off the tongue, a casual descriptor for the person you exchange memes with or the colleague you grab lukewarm coffee with in the breakroom. But sometimes, I think we dilute the word, stretch it so thin it becomes almost meaningless. These aren't always the people who see the cracks in your carefully constructed facade and still choose to sit beside you in the quiet. The world outside the comforting chaos of school and college can feel… vast. And suddenly, the pool of potential "friends" shrinks while the pressure to network and connect in the corporate jungle swells. You find yourself nodding along to conversations that bore you, forcing smiles at jokes that don't land, all in the name of building these elusive "friendships." But what if those connections feel more like a performance? What if you're constantly edi...

When Speaking Up Feels Too Big

I’ve been sitting with something for a few days now, unsure whether to even put it into words. It’s one of those situations where you start questioning your place — your role on the team, whether your thoughts carry any weight — especially when they go against a decision that’s already in motion. A few days ago, I saw a new marketing campaign at work. It ties our product to a recent military operation — one that’s still fresh, still sensitive. The idea is no longer just an idea; the deal is done, the digital posters are ready, and I’ve been asked to send them out through our official WhatsApp channel. My gut reaction? Should we really be doing this? It felt like we were trying to ride the emotional wave of something serious — and not in a thoughtful or respectful way. More like capitalizing on emotion than honoring it. But here’s the thing: I’m not in marketing. I’m a web developer. I wasn’t part of the brainstorming, and my role is just to support the rollout. Technically, it’s n...
