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.
Taking stock
The year ended on a sweet-sour note. December was an eventful month; the only upsetting part of it was my FIL’s illness. I went to Bombay/Pune in the middle of the month and came back just a couple of days ago. And like all my trips, this one too was filled with lovely moments withContinueContinue reading “Taking stock”
Sometimes right things go wrong
The purest of intentions are the ones most misunderstood. And so when you go one way and life goes another, all you can do is wait. And hope that life corrects itself and comes back to you. Because running after life will only make seem out of your reach. (And leave you out of breathContinueContinue reading “Sometimes right things go wrong”
Taking it up a notch
I meant the count for rejections of my short stories. Now as soon as I received a ‘no’ some minutes ago, for my second attempt at having my stories published, I was hurt.

Doing something beyond yourself
There is so much good going out there in the world. There are so many people who see lives as something that exists beyond them. The more I see it, the more I get puzzled and the more I feel compelled to somehow try and assimilate all that goodness in my own life too. MostContinueContinue reading “Doing something beyond yourself”

Just wanted to write a quick note on all those I have known or seen over the years who have found the courage to do what it is that they truly feel passionate about. I have tremendous respect and admiration for those the people who follow their heart irrespective of what it may lead themContinueContinue reading “They whom I admire”
From the yonder years
19/8/02 �Learn to love unconditionally. Love with conditions is merely appeasing your mind, love without rules is letting your soul rejoice.� I wrote this and then pondered about the nature of love. I first thought that the complexity of heart involved in loving someone was a quandary that solely afflicted those 20 or under. ButContinueContinue reading “From the yonder years”
pleasure n pain
I wish I could wrap cotton candy around my eyes and see a sweet sugary world, where all is well. Often I tell myself that suffering is normal that it�s the way things are meant to be and then question myself about why do we have smiles in our lives then. Why the pleasure ifContinueContinue reading “pleasure n pain”
