I would not move an inch

The dark clouds had blanketed the sky. The rains were getting ready to pour down. The windows were flapping loud due to the wind. But yet, I would not move an inch. I sat gazing at the dark sky. Wondering how long it would stay dark. Thoughts running high in my mind. With papers flyingContinue reading “I would not move an inch”

The Compassionate

Trace was flipping through her books fiercely, almost tearing the pages apart. Eyes was swelled with tears and she needed some comfort. The book was certainly not helping. She had been having few disappointments and failures from the past few months. She wanted to vent it out, so that she could feel lighter and figureContinue reading “The Compassionate”

As I call it

Reading is something I love doing. I was not a great reader of books until during my graduation times, my bestie popped a novel and compelled me to read. That’s when the reading journey for me began. I love fiction, spiritual, philosophy, autobiographies categories of books. While reading many of the books, the concept ofContinue reading “As I call it”

Is Change the only constant thing?

I was in a training session deeply engrossed listening to what the trainer was teaching. Occasionally, I do listen 😊. As the trainer took us through the different aspects of the topic (it was a technical training), the one thing that struck me hard was “Times are changing, we need to adapt. Change is aContinue reading “Is Change the only constant thing?”

The PLANT

Trace was pulling out clothes out of the washing machine. Her eyes fell on the Pothos (otherwise called the Money plant). She had bought the plant couple of weeks ago. It was beautiful and full of life. But now, it had planned to wither away, and it was fast catching up with its plan. ThereContinue reading “The PLANT”

The BOOK

On Mar 23rd, 2021, quite an eventful day in my life, a day of fulfillment and gratitude. It was one-month completion of the first book I co-authored with my close buddy Bhavana. Writing a book was a fantasy for me until one day it turned reality. On Feb 23rd, 2021, we self-published our first bookContinue reading “The BOOK”

A year older

A year older, a year wiser!!! A year crazier, a year weirder!!! As I celebrate my natal day, basking in the warmth and love of my closed ones. Enjoying the feast and the fast doting conversations, exhilarating in the present. I look back to see what I have gained – people, love, care, money andContinue reading “A year older”

Few Words …

As I looked out of the balcony, hearing the delightful screams of the kids playing on the street, with the beautiful view of the yellow flowers in the pots placed in the balcony, all I managed to write was these few words. Let’s be brave enough to encounter defeats Let’s be brave enough to overcomeContinue reading “Few Words …”

When I met a guy called GOD

My heart was beating fast, I took a taxi to my parents’ home. My brother had called up and told that my father would need a by-pass surgery to remove a block in the heart. My mind was churning with thoughts and I could feel me breathe loud. The taxi stopped in front of theContinue reading “When I met a guy called GOD”

Idea of being Good

“Mom don’t call me a good boy, I don’t like being called that way”, yelled my 10-year boy at me. I stopped what I was reading and stared back at him, perplexed what did he mean by that statement. After a good 10 minutes of interrogating him, I understood he didn’t like being called good,Continue reading “Idea of being Good”
