She walks in beauty from the celestial screen to fill up your days and dreams.He enters the battlefield with ammunition, strategy and lurking mystery.Ofcouse! It’s galaxial crisis or a page from forgotten history. They enter the club flamboyantly to soak in to the night of spirits, trance and dance.They enter the boardroom confidently with presentations, reviews and target.Ofcourse! It’s for […]
“I had enough of you, control freak!I would rather run wild into the trees.” “I have feelings you see.how will my dreams advance?All you do is eat, drink, party and dance.” “So, my excesses are too much.Lunatic! What about your drama?Your accusations make my stomach clutch.” “So, sorry, sometimes I do act silly,Obsess over things willy-nilly.”“That’s ok, sweetheart, you’re not alone,Even my interiors may hold elements unknown.” So finally, the mind and body gave in.To not understand each other was indeed frightening.They decided to rest their case. Acceptance was the key in this phase. Mindfully, I heard their plea,And I thought this was the best plan.For the mind, body, soul and me. 19 January 2020
Take a piece of cloth,not too long, not too short.Boring plain or with dotsit’s a tutorial for the soul, so don’t tie yourself into knots. Wrap it around your head like a veil,now wrap it around your neck with ends dangling like a tail.Fold it across your shoulder or tie it around waist.Do you look your best? Maybe wear it […]
Treading on the dry rustling leaves,On the unknown, slippery path.Flaming skies, red gold trees,suffering from the changing season’s wrath.Eyes on the familiar distant land,Heart in the graves of my past.Fists clenched, chin up, in my woollen maroon band,Slowly, steadily on the unknown slippery path, until this turmoil lasts.Until this turmoil lasts. 22 November 2019
I take away the garbage bags, all filled to the brim.Where will they go, will they float or will they swim?It’s gone. Replenish. Consume. I like the sound of empty wine bottles, they clink together as I throw them away.Oh! We have had a good time. That sweater stacked for charity.My first. Whatever.It’s gone. Replenish. Consume. My Hope and Fear. Ego, shattered and bruised.Where will they go, will they float or will they swim?
They tell me its all over.The night of horror. The enraged cosmic dance.The horizon is on fire, the earth has shaken,Blood and skeleton in every direction.Here, I am calling your name,Oh Sati! Oh My beloved Sati. They tell me its all over. The night of horror.The tides are low, the sky is still grey,The Sun is mustering courage to cast […]
It was a year of magical thinking,We all thought that ‘Eleanor Oliphant is fine’ without blinking. Ofcourse, it wasn’t only about ‘the case against sugar’,She wasn’t exactly one of ‘the women who ran with the wolves’ for the average onlooker. She took comfort in her ‘Sathavan’, ignoring her ‘Mindset’,‘Ego is the enemy’ in plain sight, you bet! Self-loathing, scared, disillulisoned […]
A Minute of SilenceFor the unfinished chapters, the dusty fridge tops, the ignored payment reminders, the binned leftovers,The chaos behind shut wadrobe doors. A Minute of SilenceFor what ifs, may bes, could bes, should haves, but onlys. A firmer resolve for some compassion,To quit this motion of inflicting violence. 9 September 2018
Sorry to bring in a sinister mood on this rose- tinted day like today. But whilst we are rejoicing in name of Love, Hope and Optimism, let us also take note of our most frowned upon term called Pessimism. I am not really for the good morning, motivational Monday quote.If you love the job, you would do it even on Sunday afternoon! Generally I appear to be this happy, sunshine soul but I am also somewhat a defensive pessimist or a strategic pessimist. Well, to start with I have studied accounting and law. So forward looking statements rule my life.Tighten the wording around a clause in contract. Have sufficient provisions been made?I am definitely the ant who saves for the rainy day. I usually have plan B’s up my sleeve as I check off my to do lists.What is a strategic pessimist? Ok, IT wizards and problem solving engineers, take a back seat. Here it is:1. Always assume for the worst : Health or Relationships, Exams or Career.2. Lower your expectations: He is going to forget that gift, anyways! Or, I think I may just make it to a Pass grade.3. Over prepare: Yes, three desserts as options. ALWAYS.4. Take calculated risks: Common sense over complicated maths. So Pessimism is not really all doom and gloom, but when in England, carry your umbrella. 14 February 2020
Have you ever looked at a person and wondered who is this person?As in, who is the person really? That little toddler who is trying all antics to grab your attention. When he wobbles to give you his ‘pretend tea’ and gives you a toothed smile.And you pull him towards you to give him a hug? A friend whose sense of humour encompasses the room. Have you paused in the spree of laughter for a second and wondered what makes her so funny? Or simply sang along in an impromptu duet with an acquaintance in a party with a knowing smile and awkward glance at them? Have you gulped down bowls of your favourite food which your mum has painstakingly made? Then wondered, how could she do it all? Have you fallen in love those moments? Look more intently, give your attention. You will be in love, yet again! 15 December 2019
