And one more day just passes like that,Drenching her in sweat,Making her body ache as she lies down,Awake, her mind racing,In search of new to create,They say rest is a must, but she denies,Not for her duties, but for herself,She longs to move her hands on those canvases,The brushes, the scissors, the little boxes of […]
I believe it’s okay to be grey at times,It’s okay to let your vulnerability show,It’s okay to have your insecurities too.It’s okay to feel left out,It’s okay to let the negative rule,At the end, it’s life and we are humans,Not a proverbial quote, to stand true.
Not all days are jolly and bright,Neither all moments memorable,Some times are a chaotic saga,Of despair, dismay and plight.Nonetheless, a beauty in disguise,Entices despite the tough times,For not always bliss is perfection,Sometimes it’s amidst chaos,When the deeds to meet ends,Bear fruits in the thick of mess.

During my school days, my father used to buy children magazines for us very often. ‘Champak’, ‘Nandan’, ‘Balhans’ and few other Indian child magazines like these were a frequent visitor to my house, mostly in Hindi, and sometimes in English. We used to solve the puzzles and riddles in […]
