“A genius is someone who allows us to see things and realise. Something we didn't realise before. Children are geniuses. We were all children once”
The Suited Monk

“Modern life is an interplay between chaos and clarity, where the pursuit of meaning lies not in what we achieve, but in how we connect—with ourselves, others, and the timeless truths that ground us.”
Sandeep Chavan
