Our Minds

'A fathomless riddle; An expanse that often seems indescribable; A guardian of secrets that were stashed away and forgotten forever; And the only beholder of our profound introspection.

Solar Eclipse

The radiant sun adorning a veil of the glorious moon;
Outlining a regal crown, leaving Earth shrouded in darkness...

An Ode...

I thought life had a reason for everything, That 'twas essential to find my 'calling' To find reasons to be happy, to live, and love! A reason to relish, cherish or remember! After imploring for reasons all along, I was exhausted and decided to pause. Then, I saw you. And you pursued that pause. You – a companion, teacher, and guide! I scrounged for a reason to wake up, And you became the reason yourself! I wondered if I had a reason to smile, Yet, your verses made me smile effortlessly! I looked around for a reason to write, You made me see that I didn’t need one! Betwixt striving to find all the right reasons & Learning to look beyond them at times, I unearthed a new lease of life – One, That our beautiful relationship lent me!   PS: Books have been an inevitable part of my life almost all along. Most importantly, they have been my companion in moments of solitude & introspection. This is an ode to all my favourite books stack...

Positive Thinking - An Art

By -
Image
“The Pessimist Sees Difficulty In Every Opportunity. The Optimist Sees Opportunity In Every Difficulty.”                                                    - Winston Churchill  This is the change I hope to see in myself by the end of this year.  We cannot shirk the importance of positivity as it enhances our lifestyle, instills a sense of confidence in ourselves, and brings happiness in our lives. Importance of Positivity:  Though positivity is always cardinal, its necessity in these times of distress when the entire world is being deracinated from their busy lives and pushed into what is now being called ‘the new normal’. We, as a world, are grappling with the COVID-19 pandemic. This has affected the mental health of millions of people. People from around the world are struggling betwixt the increasing levels of stress and anxiety because of t...

My Epiphanies

By -
Craft your journey whilst drifting like a wave! (Just go with the flow :) Things will automatically fall into place) Take a moment to pause,  And count your blessings;  Listen to your inner soul,  Softly whisper tales to you;  Seek the good throughout,  Wake the resilience in you;  Conquering the failures,  Crumbling the fear within;  Marvel at your little triumphs,  Cherishing the little we live;  Crafting your own journey,  Gently drifting like a wave!

Asthma...

Image credits: Unsplash Cancelled plans and canned getaways, Hindrance showed up abruptly as always; They said, ‘the air you breathe is free!’ Oh, not true! how do I explain my agony? My breath, not my very own – For, It is supported by a two-inch container; ‘Deliver me from this trauma’, I implore, For ‘Asthma’ is the only word I abhor! Gasping for breath, I twist and turn, Well, ease of breathing is my only concern! Looking at this sordid misery – I weep, For weary nights pass by devoid of sleep, Oh, all in vain! my pleas go unheard, And my breath becomes staggered; ‘Asthma’ – certainly a devil in disguise, A beast that smothers even my softest cries!

March on...

Image credits: Unsplash  The hills - steep and savage, A massive step – accidental! Oh dear, they let you slip, They watched you stumble; Yet you landed mighty, Making ‘em all tremble; The descent made you fierce, The plunge made you humble; Oh dear, stride on - reassured, Henceforth, you’re invincible! 26 April 2021 - It has been a year since I started putting up posts on my blog. I'm thankful to all those souls who took the time to appreciate my writing. Much gratitude to those who constantly motivated me to keep marching ahead! Many thanks and lots of love! <3

Happiness - Short Poem

By -
Image
Image credits : Unsplash I see the weary people around me,  Swaying to tunes of sorrow and agony;  Fretting, living in clasps of misery,  Seldom being in a state of sanguinity;   Well, let’s create our own symphony,  And dance to that mystic melody;  Shine like the silver moon with glee,  Filling hearts with warmth and ecstacy;  Leading a life - joyous and carefree,  Remembering happiness is the key!

Your mind - Short Poem

Image credits : Unsplash Y our mind – A clear reflection,  Of your profound ruminations;  Resonating, constantly conspiring,  Your dreams and aspirations;  Tread the path with caution,  And choose wisely, my friend!  You become what you believe,  You discover what you seek;  Culminate an ocean of zest,  Stride on, unearthing your quest!

Autumn - The Season of Amber

By -
Image
Image credits : Unsplash   ‘Autumn’ – the enchanting season of vivid rich amber,  With the aeolian winds lending us symphonies of fall;  Quaint lanes filled with the scent of fallen pine cones,  Acorns ousted from their trees - bracing for winter;  Little girls singing and deftly picking sweet chestnuts,  Whilst reminiscing the lost times of our childhood;  Sitting by my window, gazing at the trees over yonder,  My heart sinks when their leaves fall down with grace;  At sunset, the skies bloom into a mystic paradise,  The trees filter out a komerobi, flaunting their vivid hues,  Cottony clouds etch empyrean murals in the welkin;  Then, night arrives! breathless, filled with languid grief,  Dreary silence – akin to the pallor of the cold moon;  Witnessing longer nights and shorter days ushered,  By the loud hooting of distant owls and the incessant -  Crackling noises of a kindled ...

Growth, Success and Failures

By -
Image
Image credits : Unsplash Growth, Success and Failures.  These are mere  words that have different meanings yet inextricably woven in the path of our life.   I wanted to excel at a certain something and conquer my fears. Yet, seldom I realized that to succeed in it, I have to be patient. I sat in a corner – frayed, not wanting to move ahead because either I wanted it all or none at all. Success was all that meant to me; Growth didn’t bring a smile upon my face. But it took me time to realize that life doesn’t work that way. Things happen at a certain pace. It involves unrelenting dedication, the ability to face your failures head on, learning from your past mistakes and striding ahead stronger to reach there. It takes time. It takes patience. It takes perseverance. Sometimes, even though you think you’ve done it all as per the rulebook you've been following, your plans happen to go hay way. But it would be wrong to beat yourself up for that. It is necessary to under...
