There are days when I smile, When the rays of the sunlight up my face just right, When my windswept hair just looks right, Like I have no worries, no cares. And then there are days, When nothing seems okay. When the scorching heat of the sun, Leaves me burned! I wish I could smile through the worst of days, I wish my troubles I […]
I know that one day, I’ll reach for the sky. I know that it is a long way, Yet I will try! My dreams guide me on, When my struggles bring me down. But like the darkness before dawn, With rays of the sun, it will be gone. Problems and setbacks will come my way, But I believe that I’ve the strength to […]
When life seems to be dull and grey, When nothing seems to be going right, Will you just stay, Looking at life in black and white? Will you wait for someone, To add colour to your life?

Some time in May, when I was struggling to write again after the A […]
Christmas is almost here! A season of joy and celebration, a season of spreading smiles and good cheer. It is a season for giving and receiving gifts. A lot of us are already someone’s Secret Santa and have already brought a smile on someone’s face or are going to soon. But tell me, have you ever given a gift to yourself? From you, to you? […]

While I was reading few of my recent poems, I recalled my reason for writing. When I look at my journey so far, I sometimes wonder if its really me all along.

December is the month for celebrations – of sharing smiles, of sharing warmth as the cold winter comes along. It is also a time to look back on the 11 months that went by and ask ourselves “Where did the year go?” December also is the time when we remember and cherish some of the best moments of the year while we make plans for […]
