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 It’s almost treated like something outdated.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
This Valentine’s Day, Team Sun chose to step away from the familiar rhythms of celebration and do something different. There were no crowded tables at restaurants, no carefully planned outings meant for photographs, no loud music or hurried laughter.

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
The Epstein Files: The World’s Most Controversial Document Share!

Plastic Pollution: How It Affects Humans, Animals, and the Planet
Plastic pollution has become one of the defining environmental challenges of our time. Although many people acknowledge that plastic waste is a problem, daily habits often tell a different story. Reusable bags are sometimes forgotten, plastic packaging continues to dominate supermarket shelves, and recycling rates remain low in many countries. What is less visible to the public is the scale and depth of the crisis. Plastic pollution is no longer
Not a Campaign. Not a Gimmick. Just Me Dropping My First Song
This isn’t a brand launch. This isn’t a content play. And this definitely isn’t a Valentine’s Day “boot song.” On the 14th of February, I’m releasing my first-ever original song; Eh Hati. And honestly? This has nothing to do with marketing. That’s what makes it scary.
Galentine’s Day: Why Celebrating Friendship Is the Real Love Story.

Claiming the Right to Begin: Inside an Emerge Graduation
The lamps were lit one by one by the graduates themselves. There was no rush. No nervous fumbling. No one stepping in to guide their hands. Each flame caught slowly, deliberately, as if the act itself mattered as much as what it represented. In Sri Lanka, oil lamps are lit for beginnings that deserve to be remembered. Weddings. New ventures. Sacred thresholds. But this was not a beginning granted by tradition or circumstance. This was a beginning
