    Chapter 1: What Is Happiness—Really?

    May 1, 2026 - By Aziza Ahmed Paula

    Explore true happiness beyond pleasure and excitement through philosophy, psychology, and lived experience. There comes a point when the question of true happiness stops being theoretical and begins to feel personal. You may notice it in the middle of an ordinary afternoon, when everything is technically fine, yet something inside remains unlit and dimmed. Or perhaps it arrives after a moment of excitement fades faster than expected, leaving behind a faint restlessness. At this stage of life, happiness is no longer about chasing moments; it becomes about understanding what actually sustains a life. Happiness… It is a word we use…

    Why the Most Radical Thing You Can Do Is : Reading

    March 12, 2026 - By Aziza Ahmed Paula

    We are accustomed to speaking of reading as a hobby, a diversion, a pastime to be indulged once the duties of the day have been attended to. It is pleasant, often enjoyable, certainly enriching—but optional. Reading sits in the same polite category as stamp collecting, embroidery, or amateur gardening: commendable, but not essential, a polite accessory to life rather than a foundation of it. This is a fundamental misunderstanding. Reading is not a hobby. It is work. Serious, disciplined, exacting work. Hobbies, by their nature, are deferable. They yield gracefully to the urgency of other obligations. Work does not. Work…

    Delightful disclosures

    May 2, 2020 - By Aziza Ahmed Paula

    I do not know if this is being politically right or wrong, nevertheless, living in home, locked down for almost two months, has been one of my most rewarding experiences. I spent literally 24/7 with my son as I used to when he was a little baby, in my arms. But this time it is better, as he communicates, responds, protests, accepts and participates. Also never spent so much time after the home, looking after it, cleaning it, deep cleaning it. Lastly but most obvious, never I dared to imagine, neither I ever wanted to be locked down with my…

    [ Goodbye Two Thousand Sixteen] The year will end in just two days. This was a hectic year, sad in many occasions as well. However, it also had happy and fun moments. At the end of the year, it is time for reflection, relaxation and rejuvenation. After a fun filled busy December, I need sometime with my family in a quiet atmosphere. Time for looking back at the year, at the high moments and the low moments. It is a good time to make a plan for the next year. So many things have changed this year, and it changed…

    Beautiful Nepal

    July 1, 2015 - By Aziza Ahmed Paula

    I have been longing to write on my tour to Nepal last year around this same time. As I got burnt badly after we returned, and lost a dear cousin, I guess I never got the grip back but until very lately. Nepal tour was a very special tour we took as a family. As much as I love to travel alone and see things in my own way, I love to travel with my son. I love to see the wonders in his eyes that we have already discovered. Little questions, surprises and his big experiences make our trip…
