A case study in gender inequalities in parenting — My wife’s been on a few different moms’ WhatsApp group chats since we had our first child a few years ago. This group had always been a great resource for us as new parents. …

AI-generated content has a more evil cousin — Most of us are still finding our feet and coming to terms with a world where an AI tool can spit out poems, verses, and (seemingly) credible content. But purists and traditional writers like me still believe that there is a market for genuine heartfelt content out there. You can…

Nor is it your financial support that they’re after — I was all of 8 years old when it happened. I don’t have much recollection of incidents from that age, but this one is as vivid as it can get, as if it happened yesterday. I was new to the city, but in a fairly short time had made friends…

Entertaining the idea that men and women weren’t created equal — I’ve always been a vocal advocate of equal rights — especially when it comes to gender.

Will wearing a VR headset save me when disaster strikes? — Like many of you, I’ve gotten sick to my stomach from all the AI apps and ChatGPT content that are being thrown at me everywhere — LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram — you name it. Seeing how revolutionary this thing seems to be, I decided to seek help too. I am a…

Patriarchy is everywhere around us – hidden in plain sight — I had the greatest of Fridays the other day when I was invited to my son’s school for Father’s Day celebrations. It was a great morning, planned quite well. The fathers got to school at the assigned time, and the kindergarten had some fun activities planned for us. The kids…

Getting back to regular writing after a bit of a break — With over 500 stories on Medium over the last 3-ish years, I admittedly have been very sporadic for the past 4–6 months.
