The beauty of the rain

The beauty of the rain

Image Source I stand by window looking, And I feel the wind blowing. It starts as a gentle breeze, But then becomes so fierce that I freeze. Dark clouds gather in the sky, The birds now towards their nests fly. I see the flash of lightening and hear, The thunder roar as though the end is near. I smell the petrichor as the first drops […]

Never give up

Never give up

Image Source Nothing in life comes easy,Each day has battles of its own.Valuable will be the lessons you learn in each fight,Even if the light is not where in sight,Rest, but never go back.Giving up, though easy, is not an option,I can is what you must say,Victory shall be yours some day.Each struggle that you face will make you stronger,Up the mountain of success you’ll […]

Learning from people

Learning from people

Image Source Like the clouds that pass by in the sky,A lot of people come into your life each day.Some make you feel low, some take you to a new high,But each one has something to teach you in their own way. Like the different colours of the rainbow,The people you meet are all different. Their impact on your life you may not know,But trust […]

We give you all that you need, don’t we?”, replied his mother. He made a face. “At least buy some snacks, please”, he said pointing across the road to a boy his age who was selling some snacks. […]

On writing a poem

On writing a poem

Image Source It has been a while since I wrote,A poem that rhymed perfectly.The words around me float,Or they sit together imperfectly. I try grabbing them one by one,Arrange them in a way that makes sense.When I think the battle is almost won,I realize what I’ve made up is utter nonsense. It is there almost in my hand,And I don’t want to let it slip.But […]

The Half Time Look Back

The Half Time Look Back

Image Source I was almost about to fall asleep, when the clock struck 12. And the realization struck and I sat up in bed wondering how time had just flown. I was half done now. I just had 6 months left and then my life would be over. What had I done? I’ve always wanted to make a difference, but had I? May be I […]

One Rainy Day

One Rainy Day

Image credit Her fingers danced on the keyboard as she typed something and then hit backspace multiple times. Her kohl lined eyes stared at the screen but she had no clue what she was looking at. In her mind’s eyes she was in a different place, at a different time. Someone called out her name and that brought her back to reality. She looked at the […]

To err is human

To err is human

Image source From the time that I was a little kid, I was told to be perfect. I was supposed to be the best in what I did, For nothing less than that did they expect. I grew up doing what I was told, As I was scared to try something new. I didn’t want to be bold, But it wasn’t right, I knew. Mistakes […]

Month in Rewind: April 2016

Image Source April, April, April! Are you already over? I still can’t believe that it is already over. Like all months that have gone by, this one also went too fast, it flew! But April was so much fun because it was filled with so many things. There was one thing constant throughout April- blogging. Blogging has been a constant in my life for some […]
