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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
A few days ago when I was looking back on the posts I’d written a few years ago, I came across one that I’d written on my birthday two years ago. It was titled “My 25 by 25 list” . It was a list of 25 things that I wanted to do before I turned 25 because of quarter life crisis. I’ve less than 4 […]
It has been a week since the New Year! We started off with new dreams and resolutions. How has the first week of the New Year treated you? The week so far has been great for me but it was also a little difficult. Why? Though a vacation especially during the holiday season leaves you refreshed, it also makes routine really boring. I was pumped […]
“Why do you write?” is a question that you’d be asked often if you are someone who writes. And there always is a story behind it. 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. Sorrow was what made me start writing, […]
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 […]
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 […]
Has there been a Monday that you have or had looked forward to? Okay, I think I can pick a few Mondays but let me tell you that all of those Mondays weren’t ordinary. Most of the time, we hate Mondays. The very thought of a Monday makes most of us sad (me included). And if you ask me, Mondays after long weekend are the […]
“It takes sunshine and rain to make a rainbow” I’ve read this quote a lot of times and in bad times it has proven to be a sort of inspiration for me. But what if its continues to keep raining? There will be no rainbow for sure. If there’s one thing that is certain, then only rain would result in chaos. Wondering what I’m […]
