It was the smile that everyone saw, The one that made things seem bright. Some cheer on a gloomy day it brought, And it all seemed alright. But hidden behind that beautiful smile, Were the remains of tears that had dried. The scars of the wounds not forgotten, The ones that bothered every night. The pain was always hidden, The wounds and the scars were […]
We often begin the journey of today,Carrying along the burdens of yesterday,Weighed down by worries of tomorrow,Not knowing where we want to go!The mistakes of yesterday,Hold us back from growing,The uncertainties of tomorrow,Haunt us without warning.Learn from the mistakes of the past,And let go of things holding you back.Because some things are better left behind,Some problems are better dealt only when it is time.Bid goodbye […]
Situated within a walking distance of the famous Notre Dame, the bookstore Shakespeare and Company is a world of its own. With its colourful doors, blackboards filed with quotes, a cute bench to sit on and read, the bookstore welcomes you with an embrace if you are a book lover like me!

I’m forever caught in a struggle, Since I began my search for meaning. For between right and wrong I juggle, With emotions overwhelming. Things could be either right or wrong, That’s what I was told. But I’ve realized, that was not right but all wrong, For the line in between has become too old. What do you make of it, When it feels […]
While Mondays are usually spent wondering how did the weekend go by and waiting for the next weekend to come, today was a little different sort of a Monday for me. Stuck at home because of the bandh, an unplanned leave happened. While Eat-Sleep-Read repeat is usually the mantra for days like these, I had a strange urge to look at pictures from my childhood. […]
I find myself lost, In the madness of this world. For I find myself tossed, By the troubles of this world. As a child, I had a dream, That I’d grow up to find myself. All I hear now is my heart’s silent scream, I live a life that belongs to someone else. For how long will I go on, With dreams that […]
The cloudy Saturday morning doesn’t dampen my spirit. There is wind in my hair as I stop pedalling while going down a slope. The rains from the previous night have washed the roads clean and I seek to explore the inner streets of the locality that I live in. Being a Saturday morning, it is quieter than usual as the city hasn’t woken up like […]
In difficult times, When things don’t seem alright. In the days, When life becomes a never-ending fight. Be brave, be strong! There are struggles, That make you lose hope. There are losses, That you can’t seem to cope. But, be brave, be strong! There are moments, When you’ve lost it all. There are torments, That you cannot stall. Yet, be brave, be strong! […]
There’s often a blast from the past, Reminding you of how things were. Lost in a bag of memories so vast, You realize many things are now a blur. There were so many things, That you wanted to do. You wanted to soar high on those little wings, For your dreams were never few. But then you let yourself to be pulled back, […]
Like the scorching heat of the summer sun, Anger burns things down. But it isn’t a battle won, For it burns you along. It flows within you, Leaving you restless. And you don’t know how it grew, But in the end, it leaves you helpless! A few words spoken, Which weren’t supposed to be mean, Now leave you broken, More than you’ve ever […]
