Being an appreciative follower of Rumi’s work, I have always turned to his poems as a source of solace when faced with challenges. They often work as a gentle reminder of resilience and hope. There have also been moments. I never understood the depth of what his words meant. “You have to keep breaking your…

As I think on this year that slipped by so quickly,one constant remains: the presence of water. River, sea, ocean!The vastness of which makes me feel so small—a feeling of nothingnessthat makes me feel so grounded. Water washes away everything—scars, pain,coldness that bites,the freshness that renews my soul.A reminder that, in comparison to its vastness,my…

It’s true. After years of being disconnected from WordPress and visiting periodically, I am back finally to restart my writing journey here and sharing with my WordPress community.

Remember noticing something for the first time, and all of a sudden, it starts appearing everywhere? Making us think, has this become more important now? Is this a sign? Or is the brain simply starting to notice something that has always been there? That’s what I felt when I visited my favorite city, Auvers-sur-Oise, for…

While scrolling through my archives, I stumbled upon this picture from few years ago. Although, mostly I notice only my niece, this time my attention went to the little plant she is pointing to.

During my school days, I remember creating a lot of cards for my close friends and often I ended up with a caption “Friends Forever” Randomly reflecting upon it recently, I observed how we often tag “forever” to what we think and feel about certain things, especially to find peace and happiness. “Friends forever”” Happiness…

My aunt sent me this picture today. This plant was one of my treasured possession few years ago. I bought this and few other plants when I moved to my new home. “New Home”, the thought of it was surreal because I never dreamt of owning one. And each morning, I looked forward to seeing…

The quite one, The silent one, They’d call me. When did it become my identity? A question I can never answer. In a world that always wants to stand-out, I chose to stay quite. How do I feel? The sweet songs of the chirping birds, The temples and church bells ringing far away, Call to…

“The past is an interpretation. The future is an illusion. The world does not move through time as if it were a straight line, proceeding from the past to the future. Instead time moves through and within us, in endless spirals. Eternity does not mean infinite time, but simply timelessness. If you want to experience…
