Rooted in the unseen


 
In a world full of flowers

Be a root that stands firm

To be okay with not being watered for a while

To be able to process that and stand firm when

nothing works right


Oh! How gracious it is!

To believe in yourself when the tide hits hard

And know that, the tide cannot touch you

For you become the root no one sees

Yet stand tall in your own way


For once, to not feel photosynthesis

To not feel the thorn

To not feel the bloom

To not taste the water

To not expect what the world beholds

Just to be rooted somewhere unknown


The idea mesmerizes me much

I could hear the shock and fear in her voice, and also something subtler — guilt and self-blame. I began by sharing something I often tell other parents — Childr...

The Silent Epidemic of the Digital Age: Why More Children Are Struggling to Grow

I was recently in conversation with the Head of a school’s Special Needs division. She spoke with quiet urgency about a trend she’s been seeing—a dramatic increase in children needing special support. Not just academically. But emotionally, socially, and developmentally. And it’s not isolated. Across schools and clinics, more and more children are showing up with symptoms that look like autism, ADHD, or behavioral disorders. But the causes are not always neurological—they’re environmental. They’re cultural. They’re digital. Children are being raised by screens, not people. Access to technology at a very young age has changed the way kids grow. Tablets replace toys. Reels replace storytelling. Parents, overwhelmed and overworked, lean on screens because they have to. It’s not laziness—it’s survival. But the cost is massive. Many young children today: Struggle with eye contact Show delayed speech Can’t hold a pencil properly Don’t know how to play with others Get overstimulated or bored ...
