The Experienced Seed by C Swathish

They tell me I should already know the road, though I’ve just laced my shoes for the first time. They laugh when I stumble, asking why I haven’t run a thousand miles yet. I carry nothing but tomorrow in my hands, but tomorrow is too light for their scales. They nod at old stories, wrinkled with years, and close their doors on voices still learning. It’s funny, really— to demand the fruit before planting the seed, to want a song that’s already an echo. I try not to mind, I keep walking, pretending I’ve lived a hundred lives, while I’ve barely begun this one. About the Author  C. Swathish is a published author and award-winning poet from Kerala. He writes about human experiences and society, using everyday moments to explore deeper truths. His work combines simplicity with thoughtfulness, offering readers a clear and reflective look at life and its contradictions

My Tummy Isn't Flat!! | Bindu Unnikrishnan

Article My Tummy Isn't Flat!! by Bindu Unnikrishnan "Unapologetically true!" Such was my response to an insensitive comment from a shallow, self-centered person. In fact, it wasn't just one person but a herd of self-obsessed women who undermine others, body shame them, and revel inside a bubble inflated by their egos and false self-images of perfection. Ironically, they are far from perfect. Their so-called perfection comes at a steep price. Some even remain childless just to keep their bodies unaffected by pregnancy, striving to maintain a flat tummy as if it were the ultimate sign of health. Just the other day, I praised a lady in her 50s. She was exuberant, a happy soul who wore a skirt and top with pride, showing off her outfit like a precious gift. And indeed, it was—a gift from her daughter-in-law. Her joy was contagious, her charm radiant. I complimented her generously, every word sincere. She was resplendent in that attire, her inner beauty shining through. Th...

A Conversation with Iconic Star Meenakshi Seshadri | Ankush Bharti

Hi, I'm Ankush Bharti, the Editor-in-Chief of The Holistic Pine.  First of all, let’s just say what a privilege it is to interview you, Meenakshi ma’am. Your name is iconic with being a female superstar in Indian cinema. Your disappearance from the large screen coincided with a new era in the cinema, where Indian cinema almost lost its footing. Gradually, only, it made a comeback with movies like Lagaan, Munnabhai series, and the recent pan-Indian movies from the South. 1. How do you perceive the role of female stars in present-day Indian cinema? Films like Damini are noticeable with their strong female leads. How do you look at today's Bollywood in terms of female representation? Today’s female stars are for the most part focused, talented and ambitious. There is so much more of a professional attitude. Subject matter for female roles appears to be more bold. In fact, many subjects, and topics are being tackled, which would never have been addressed in the p...
