The Epstein Files Didn’t Just Expose Peter Mandelson. They Exposed What We’ve Been Calling Leadership.
There is a particular kind of vertigo that sets in when the people we were taught to trust turn out to have been unworthy of it all along. The release of more than three million pages of Epstein-related files by the United States Department of Justice has produced exactly that sensation, not just in America, but with seismic force across the Atlantic, where it has engulfed the British government, rattled the monarchy, and triggered the most ser
What Yesterday’s Craft Can Teach Tomorrow’s Fashion
The fashion industry often frames sustainability as a new frontier, a recent innovation born from climate anxiety, consumer pressure and glossy brand campaigns. But sustainability in fashion is not new. It is ancient, embedded in cultural knowledge systems, craftsmanship and ways of living that existed long before sustainability became a marketing buzzword. Across centuries and continents, communities have designed clothing rooted in longevity, m
In Conversation with Dilrukshi Kurukulasuriya Chief Human Resources Officer, Diesel and Motor Engineering PLC
Before I speak of titles, accolades, or corporate milestones, there is something deeply personal and quietly powerful about this conversation. Some journeys feel destined long before we recognize them as such, and for me, this interview carries the weight of legacy in the most literal sense. Dilrukshi Kurukulasuriya and I share more than admiration across generations; we were shaped by the same alma mater, Hillwood College Kandy and we both serve
When Nervous System Feels Overloaded, Turn to Ancient Wisdom
For a long time, I thought nervous system overload was simply another word for stress. Something to manage better. Something that came with modern life. What I understand now is that it’s not just mental pressure or tiredness. It’s the body losing its sense of internal safety. That understanding deepened during my conversation with Dr. Clint Rogers, a researcher, Siddha-Veda practitioner, and author of Ancient Secrets of a Master Healer. What sta
What Happens to the Brain During Long-Term Isolation
Human beings are neurologically wired for connection. Social interaction is not merely a psychological preference it is a biological necessity. When isolation becomes prolonged, the brain does not remain unchanged. Research over the past several decades has shown that long-term social isolation can alter brain structure, stress responses, cognition, and emotional regulation in measurable ways.
Ramadhan: The Ultimate Discipline Reset-Strengthening Body, Mind & Spirit
When you eat a meal, surplus glucose (sugar) is stored in the liver and muscles as glycogen. In the early stages of fasting, the body uses these glycogen stores for energy. As these stores deplete, the body transitions into fat metabolism, breaking down stored fat to create alternative energy. In prolonged fasting scenarios, the body may eventually break down muscle protein to create glucose. However, during Ramadhan, this stage is highly unlikel

Loyalty Isn’t Old-Fashioned
We don’t talk much about loyalty anymore. We definitely talk about love, chemistry, compatibility, red flags, boundaries, all important. But loyalty? It’s almost treated like something outdated. And yet, if you really think about it, every strong relationship you admire is built on one thing: someone choosing to stay. Loyalty is not loud. It’s not dramatic. It doesn’t always show up in big gestures or Instagram captions. Most of the time, it’s qu
A Valentine’s Day at Sujatha Elders’ Home. Roses, Tea, and Heartfelt Moments

Life First, Family Later
For most of modern history, adulthood followed a predictable script. Education, marriage, children. Settling down was not simply common but expected, especially for women. That script, however, is loosening. More people today are choosing to live fully and independently before, or instead of, building families. And for many, this is not exactly rejecting tradition so much as redefining it. This shift did not happen overnight. It grew slowly throu
In Conversation With Sensus Collective
When Scarlett and Matilde first began talking about Sensus Collective, there was no clear intention to launch a brand, a retail platform, or a new concept in London’s crowded fashion landscape. The idea formed slowly, through shared observations and repeated conversations with friends who were building their own brands, working across fashion, design, art and lifestyle. Again and again, the same frustration surfaced. Independent and emerging bran
