Journey of

Reflections

beyond

boundaries.

Welcome to Aiikyam – The Inquisitive Journey ! This is my public personal diary of reflection, where I share my explorations as I navigate life’s questions. No teaching, no preaching—just honest musings as I connect dots across philosophy, daily experiences, ancient wisdom, and modern insights.

The heart of Aiikyam

My Personal Reflections, Shared Openly

Aiikyam is not a platform for expertise or guidance. It’s simply my way of sharing what I’m learning and questioning along my path. I believe that true understanding comes not from consuming others’ ideas, but from reflecting deeply on our own experiences.

Here, I share my thoughts about conversations that moved me, books that changed me, moments that puzzled me, and connections I’m beginning to see. My hope isn’t that you’ll adopt my perspectives, but that something here might spark your own reflections and discoveries.

Featured Reflections

Pathless Land

These reflections explore moments when I’ve ventured beyond familiar territory, questioning assumptions and looking at life through different lenses. Not to find the “right” way, but to experience the freedom of walking without predetermined paths.

Introspective Interaction

Sometimes the most profound insights come from simple conversations and human connections. These pieces share what I’ve learned through dialogue with others—how different perspectives help me see my own thinking more clearly.

A Journey of Hope

Even in difficult times, I’ve found that looking deeper often reveals unexpected possibilities. These reflections share moments when new understanding has emerged from challenges, bringing fresh perspective and renewed hope.

Whatever it was, I deleted my social media accounts and stayed away for almost two years. Not just Instagram—I barely even answered phone calls.…

  • Life Lessons from Axon Pathfinding

    It was winter 2024. I was a few months into my PhD at the National Brain Research Centre, Gurgaon, still finding my footing in the academic world.

  • The Light, the Wound, and the Story We Tell Ourselves

    They say, “The wound is the place where the light enters you.” Rumi’s words echo through time, quoted endlessly, admired deeply. But have you ever paused to ask—why? Why the wound? Why not strength, or joy, or wholeness? And if it were true, wouldn’t suffering always make us wiser? Yet, it doesn’t—some wounds close over,…

  • The Goodness Trap

    “बेहिसी शर्त है जीने के लिए और हमको एहसास की बीमारी है “ John Elia John Elia’s words have a way of cutting through the noise, don’t they? They make me wonder: What does it mean to live with this “disease of feeling”? To carry the weight of the world’s pain, not just as an…
