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”
Just a thought
Today if I had to let go of all that I have How would I see myself? Empty, as someone who has nothing Or complete, as someone who carries the universe within But instead of looking in or out, I am sitting at a distance, watching life play its games.
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”

And like all my trips, this one too was filled with lovely moments withContinueContinue reading “Taking stock”
It dawned on me
Its only when you let go of what you didn’t like, that you can begin to appreciate the positive aspects of the very things and people you disliked. The past few weeks have been one such discovery. Like every family, mine too has its share of people who made me look like a devil orContinueContinue reading “It dawned on me”
The world is a bundle
Of surprises. Anxiety, love, judgmental, compassion, worry, joy, grief, expectations, disappointment, understanding, selfishness,sacrifice and so much more come in varying degrees day in and out. What life has in store for me , I do not know? But I often wish I could choose which emotion to live in a day. I truly wish theyContinueContinue reading “The world is a bundle”
Marriage mayhem
The whole episode with Shrija, the daughter of South Indian superstar Chiranjeevi, got on my nerves. I felt that she could not have chosen a worse way to humiliate her family. Then a couple of days later she was on TV, stating that her family had kept her under house arrest for a year andContinueContinue reading “Marriage mayhem”
