If-

Just the other day, I was cleaning my cupboard (it became all messy just 2 days later, all in vain 😦 ). That's when I stumbled upon this poem book my sister used to read when she was back in school. I read some of the poems there and here's one I really liked and …

Up above the world so high; Photogenic Friday#3

Here are some photos from when I was on the plane. Looking down at the world from up above makes you feel how small place a person occupies in the world, How insignificant we are in the world, there are lots and lots of other people in the same world, how good would it feel …

Dear Life,

Dear Life, I remember the times you left me alone, in the dark and turned your back to me. I remember those times you made me feel like I was nothing in the world. I remember those rainy days when I was crying in my room filled with despair and loneliness. I remember when you …

Here’s another quote, from my weekly feature-quote it. This Tuesday’s quote comes from the movie- The Matrix. I love this quote, it always gets me thinking about life and reality. Here it is- What is real? How do you define real? If you're talking about what you can feel, what you can smell, what you …

What I don’t like about relationships

Be it any kind of relation- with your siblings, your friends, your parents or with your significant other. What could possibly be bad about relationships? There's caring, trust, love, and love is life, ain't it? Here's what I think. Now to answer my own question, no there's nothing bad about a relationship.  What I don't …

On wheels, in nature

  Skin sweaty and knees tired Still I go on cycling the roads Birds and grasshoppers chirping Monkeys gibbering and wind blowing I listen to the sound of nature More beautiful than any song I have heard   I go on and on in the mother earth Wheels moving and me beaming I come across …

Beauty is in the details; photogenic Friday#2

I wake up and look out the window. I walk to the balcony I look at the flowers and leaves with water droplets on them and conclude it must have rained last night. The flowers looked beautiful and I wish to share the photos with you. Here they are       This was the …

To lose yourself

The great personalities we know about, be it APJ Abdul Kalam or Issac Newton or Elvis Presley, I look at them(not really look) and wonder what is it that made them great, that made them who they are? I wonder what they sacrificed or lost to become who they are now. I ask myself if you …

What we stay alive for; quote it#3

First of all, I apologize to my fellow readers for not posting a quote on Tuesday as my weekly feature states. I went to Chennai and couldn't post anything, I didn't even use any internet for 4 days straight. That being said, this week's quote is from the movie Dead poets society, which is probably …

For someone you love

How far would you go for someone you love? Would you give your life for them? Would you take someone else's life for them? If you do, is that still love or just a selfish and greedy unnamed feeling you have for someone? Today evening, my mother was watching Crime Patrol, a TV series on …

As steady as the ocean waves

  Time is just another mystery in the book of life Blink and breathe and the time is gone Resent it and it becomes as slow as molasses in January And all you do is- work and plan and live for the future Then you look back and think about how you slept on your mother's …

Quote it #2

Here's another quote, from my weekly feature-quote it. This Tuesday's quote comes from the movie Chocolat. I think we can't go around measuring our goodness by what we don't do, by what we deny ourselves, what we resist and what we exclude. I think we've got to measure our goodness by what we embrace, what …

In her face

In her face I see the hazel eyes filled with care and love she has for me and everyone I see the unswerving hair in a ponytail while she makes my favorite bun I see the dried and cracked lips which laugh and yell and guide me I see the nose which smells the appetizing …

To be photographed

A picture paints a thousand words. Here is  a list of the thousand words I want to photograph- An elderly couple holding hands- I think having that young love even when we are old is one of the most beautiful things that can happen to us. Rainbow- The natural spectrum of the 7 colors hanging …

Why I am not fine with I am fine

If I asked you right now, how are you, what are you gonna say? Are you gonna go with the cliché- I am fine are will you tell me how you actually are? I don't know if this happened with everyone but speaking from my own experience as a child, I was taught the reply …

To be optimistic

Recent events in my life had got me down, and I thought I shouldn't be crying, I am optimistic. And this led me to wonder what does being optimistic even mean? Is it looking at life sugarcoated or smiling through the pain? I have this theory that there's a point till which one can handle …

The walls around us

How many times have you heard- The biggest reason for sorrow is expectations? I used to believe it for a long time but then I stopped when I realized the truth.  A person  who expects nothing is someone who doesn't want anything in life. OK, consider this- you are in a relationship with someone but …

Beauty

All the times with my mother I used to sit Watch girls getting crowned for their breathtaking beauty I wonder if this is true, if you are someone else's definition of beauty This led me to ponder what is beauty in the first place No, it's not the glittering tiaras, the beautiful eyes or spotless …
