I have often found my voice when I thought the cacophony would engulf it. There have been so many occasions previously when I decided life was just not giving me time or opportunity enough to do what I wanted. This time I chose to reign in my excuses and ask them to either shut upContinueContinue reading “Reconnecting with me”

Around whom the river of life flows
Outside the station, he was a familiar sight in the middle of the bustling street He cried out the lord’s name in a cadence that matched the ebb and surge of the crowd Ignored by the trampling feet that parted as it passed him He burnt his body brown, on the scorching road No apedContinueContinue reading “Around whom the river of life flows”
An insight
To move beyond what I think as me, I need to move a little deeper inside. Contradictory isn’t it . But it is true because only when I know what holds me back, what strangulates me or what suffocates my soul, can I work to be liberated from it. For the spirit to fly allContinueContinue reading “An insight”
Imagination
Sometimes when I am too tired being a mother, wife, daughter, daughter-in-law, friend, sister I seek refuge in my imagination and ride away on its wings The shower becomes a waterfall the green grass outside is a mountain-side the brown earth are sand dunes the reflection of the sky in the puddle is my lakeContinueContinue reading “Imagination”

Who are you?
Time goes so slowly when you live in another person’s mind. Everything takes on a different meaning, is coloured a different shade. Reality is blurred because you are not seeing through your eyes. That’s what happens if you live your entire life through other people’s viewpoint. Spend the days and nights doing things right, doingContinueContinue reading “Who are you?”
No person can complete you
It is time to remind myself about something I told my friend some months ago. Sometimes we make ourselves believe that we need more to feel complete or to feel happy. People, objects, emotions- it could be anything. But that’s not so. The reality of my life or anyone’s is that what ever you need,ContinueContinue reading “No person can complete you”
Looking at light
Sunsets are beautiful moments; for light as well as darkness. Look inside, see the darkness. Then take a deep breath and look deeper till you see light.
