What if

What if

It is a beautiful summer morning. The sky is blue with white fluffy clouds while the sun shines brightly. It isn’t too hot. With the cool wind that blows, the weather is just perfect. There is no sign of the fact that there was a thunderstorm the previous night. If only I could be as calm with the storm that’s raging in my mind. In […]

#WednesdayVerses : Sometimes

#WednesdayVerses : Sometimes

Like the grains of sand in my hand, Memories fall down while I try to hold them close. Sometimes I wish I could turn back time, To the days I chose.   There are days when I put myself together, With a broad smile on my face. But sometimes, memories haunt and tears fall, As I crave for the warmth of your embrace.   I […]

Why do you need some “me” time?

Why do you need some “me” time?

We live in a busy world. There are milestones to reach and deadlines to meet. The list of things to do never ends. Our lives have become a journey from one task to another with the end result being that we are not happy most of the times. It is like like a never ending commute from one place to the other with no time […]

#WednesdayVerses : The garden of life

#WednesdayVerses : The garden of life

On a sunny day, with the sky washed in blue, A gentle breeze blew, I walked towards a garden, And a journey I started.   Teeming with life everywhere, I stood transfixed at the beauty there. It was then that I pondered, To find answers to questions I often wondered.   In the garden of life, who was I? To find an answer, I did […]

#MondayMusings : Of the warmth of home

I was at home for most of the last week and now when its time to go back to Bangalore, I do not want to go. I miss the warmth of home! Staying away from home is never easy. But at some point of time in life, we have to move away. Be it for education, for the sake of a career or for any […]

#MondayMusings : Of plans and not having them

#MondayMusings : Of plans and not having them

Last Wednesday, when I was told that Thursday would be holiday due to Karnataka bandh, I kept wondering what would I do for 4 days as Friday was Republic Day and then there was the weekend. I had no plans. Not that I hadn’t tried making any. Since I already knew that it would be long weekend, there was a plan made with friends at […]

#MondayMusings : Airplane Mode

#MondayMusings : Airplane Mode

I’d decided that I’d be regular in posting my Monday musings. But I missed it last week. But do I have any regrets? No! Definitely not. While a tiny part of my brain kept reminding me about it initially, I chose to let go of that. I usually write my Monday posts on Sunday evenings just before I sleep and that’s a ritual that I […]

#ThursdayTreeLove : I stand alone

#ThursdayTreeLove : I stand alone

High above, almost reaching the skies, I stand alone. With every sunset and sunrise, I think about how I have grown.   Standing up for yourself is never easy, Especially when you stand alone. There will be times when you feel uneasy, And you realize that’s how you have grown.   Winds of change may blow, And you will have to sway. But if your […]

#MondayMusings : Of finding positives

On most Mondays, we hate going to work. In fact, we hate the thought of Mondays. Sunday evenings are spent by being sad for the weekend that went by too soon. Our perspective towards Monday is a negative one. So is perspective towards life these days! Think about it for a moment.   We are surrounded by a lot of negative thoughts and emotions. The […]

Dusk till dawn

Dusk till dawn

I walk towards the lake as the sky breaks into colours of dusk. I stand mesmerized yet again. Memories of you come rushing to my mind – of the day we met, the day you knelt down with the ring. We’d spent so many nights here, watching the lovely skies from dusk till dawn. Though I was scared of darkness, your presence gave me courage. […]
