Through the chaos, Of the world around me, There’s a place that, I’d rather be than here. It is that place, Where there’s no space, For the cold winters of cruelty. Because it is that place, Where the warmth of love, Reigns through every heart. It is a place, Where fears and inhibitions, Do not exist. For it is the place, Where no one is […]
I long for the life of a wanderer, Travelling distant places. I want to walk on paths less taken, To discover places unknown. I want to run around without a care, While the wind blows through my hair. I want to answer the call of the mountains, And embrace the happy air. I want to feel the waves, As they crash to the shore beneath […]
I often gazed at the night sky, Hoping to see a shooting star. But many a times with cloudy skies, My days often ended in despair. I wanted to catch a glimpse, And wish upon a shooting star. For I thought even with one wish fulfilled, By the shooting star, life would be better. I waited patiently with hope, For that shooting star. A few […]
Days come and go, And life keeps going on. I wake up each day, And live my life of routine. Each day seems just the same, I go about living life like a machine. How I wish I could wake up, And take each day at my own pace. I need an escape from routine, A place where I can be me. I need time […]
Behind the facade, Of my usual self, I carry with me, The heavy burden of pain. Things seem alright to the world, But pain runs through, Every part of my soul. I can’t let go of the pain, Because I’m not holding on to it. They say time heals, But it doesn’t. The wound appears to have healed, But the scars remain. Bleeding all over […]
You’re a free, independent woman, Go chase your dreams, Says the world. But if I try, To do the things that I want to, I’m often told, That I’m not right for it. At times I’m not tall enough, Or I’m not fair enough, But how then is life fair? My hair is too short, Or at times too long. I’m either too shy, Or […]
I wonder how you came into my life, Though we were like night and day, Different in our own way. Like night and day, That could never be together, We journeyed towards different destinations. But destiny had its plan, And we met. Look where it has brought us now. Like the burst of colour in the sky, When day meets the night at sunset, Our […]
First things first. Yay! I completed the A to Z Challenge! I have taken up the challenge twice before and completed it. So this was the third time – a hart-rick! I’d decided last year around this time that I’d take up this challenge this year too. I’d also told myself that I’d plan ahead so that I’d have nothing to worry about during the […]
Phew! The A to Z Challenge for this year is over! For those of us who took it up, April has been crazy. Crazy is an understatement, for it was crazy multiplied by 100 times! From choosing that theme to writing each of those posts, from changing the post titles a zillion times to not knowing what to write, from reading a lot of posts […]
Dear Diary, I am really happy today. I’ve finally completed the first draft of my book. Do you remember that when I was a little girl I told you that I wanted to be a writer. As I grew up, this dream was lost somewhere in the muddle of examinations, degrees and work. It took my a while to realize what I wanted to do. […]
