  • What is life?

    Life is a gift wrapped and breathed into us on our birth-day and each day in our lifetime it surprises us in special ways. ~ Ayesha

  • Just a few hours ago, I posted my blog on the Liebster Award. Now, I am so pleased to write a post on “The Blogger Recognition Award”. The only difference is that I’m self-nominating myself 😛 because I was nominated for something else by a very creative and dear writer PoeticBells but I accidentally wrote…

  • It has been raining awards lately and I don’t know where to start. I am so overwhelmed by the support of my readers especially to ApprendiZ for nominating me for “The Liebster Award”. Even though I was not one of those who ever had a liking for poetries during my childhood, WordPress has definitely started…

  • Do check out this wonderful post which is also the first on this page by Sifar: Losing to find myself.

  • I write.. 

    Now that I have started writing, I still can’t believe in those two words “I write”. A year back, it never seeped into my mind to start writing. And now, with every new post of my mine I can see myself improving gradually. I’m not competing with the world. I’m competing with myself. There is…

  • The magic lamp

    Yes, that’s right. Alladin’s magic lamp from Arabian nights. The lamp that comes with a bonus of a genie that can fulfill your wish. The lamp that I bought as a souvenir from my trip to Dubai. Now, peacefully resting on my desk, Shining all the time. Everyone who stops by my desk, Can’t control…

  • Wise words

    In those moments, when everything seems to have come to a pause, out of nowhere we find these words passed on to us, by our loved ones and our well-wishers. These are the words of hope which for many of us also changes our outlook towards life. From my last post, I invited my fellow-bloggers to…

  • Happy weekend

    It’s the end of the day. I am on my way home, after work. Holding my phone, wondering what should I write? Somedays when I am not prepared I’ve noticed that so much of thoughts and ideas run through my mind on my next blog post. But often I regret for not having a book…

  • Originally posted on Lucid Lavanya: So it’s summer time and I’ve visited my maternal grandmother’s house for vacations. This used to be a constant ritual in summers during childhood and one that I longed for since the moment I used to come back home. After all it meant meeting my cousins. And for someone who’s…

  • Wonder

    No, not yet. I’ve being waiting but haven’t been nominated for “Quote of the day challenge”. 🙂 Although, I do wanted to share this quote from a book that I’ve being reading, “Wonder” by R. J. Palacio. It’s kind of interesting why I chose to pick this book for my to-be-read list. I was in…

  • And one thing I can say for sure is over these years no one has ever been able to replace the charm and innocence these characters bring to us. Kids love them, I still love them. And I have stored all the books so that one day my kids can have an access to these…

  • That voice is not our heart or our soul, it’s that friend who is with us through our thick and thin.

  • The last leaf

    A short story by O’Henry. This was also a part of our English curriculum. My memories as a student have always been vague as I was never interested in studies. Surprisingly, there are a couple of stories from the English textbooks that I can recall. I would rather say, I don’t just recall but also…

  • An Instrument of Peace

    At 8.00 a.m. in the morning, we had to be ready for the assembly that started with prayers followed by announcements, news and prayer requests. I remember being dropped by our school bus half an hour early to the school time that allowed us to take copies from our friends to finish our homework before…

  • 140 and counting

    Thankful to my 140+ fellow bloggers who have shown their interest in my content by following my page. I’m not yet quite there where I wish to be, but I am sure these baby steps will eventually bring out the best in me. I am an active learner, thus I have something to always take…

  • Une conversation

    For those who have already viewed my post “A conversation“, I have tried to come up with the French version of the same. Being a beginner in French, I am trying to put this more into practice so I don’t forget what I learnt. But I’ll be honest, I had to take help from Google…

  • Can be as simple as this one if we take a pause and enjoy those precious moments.

  • An unavoidable phone call

    Mom: Net isn’t working? Whom do you think you are trying to fool. I can see you post daily on Facebook.. Commenting on the pages of political parties.. But, why are you following these pages.. Why don’t you keep yourself away from all this? I want you to focus on your studies.

  • Listen only mode

    Thus, it’s important that we keep ourselves in the “listen only mode” in order to observe the beauty of people who are a part of our lives and not overlook any cues that are unintentionally given to us expressing their love and care.

  • A flashback

    It has been over 3 months since I started spending my time here – reading blogs and writing some. It has been a learning phase for me so far understanding what content to choose, that should be a combination of mine and my readers’ interests. You won’t find a specific trend in my posts except…
