Should hurting someone’s sentiments be a reason not to?

"God Save The King". Really?

Would god really want to save a monarchy? As a Brit, my take on being a ‘loyal servant’ to the British Crown.

Where is the atheistic understanding?

We are often taught that religious understanding is an important thing. But why does the same not always ring true by religious folk to atheism?

Parental privilege - is it a right or an abuse of a choice you’ve made?

Does having children entitle you to jump queues? To a speedier service? To more privileged treatment? Or should you live with the choice you’ve made

Tired of caring?

I feel alone. And I need to talk to somebody. The strength of Swell is our ability to share our thoughts & emotions. And to talk. And to listen.

Making yourself happy. More important than finding someone who makes you happy?

Finding your own happiness as opposed to relying on others to find it for you or to supply it to you. Which is more important? What’s your experience?

Fair and handsome? Really???

Does ‘Fair and Handsome’ reinforce the racist notion of superiority that fairer is somehow better? Should we tolerate such marketing in India still?

How do you break the cycle of poverty mindset?

So many Indians live in poverty. Very few are able to break the cycle & escape the mentality that prevents them from achieveing their goals. Have you?
