I want to give promises that will never be broken. I want to smile whenever I am free to frown. I should choose to love when I can also make a choice to hate. I should make a difference than being indifferent. I must feel the time as it passes through my life and realize what is important. I should get happiness in being selfless and see myself through other’s eyes. I should know that this world can be much [...]
As 2011 comes to a close you naturally look back and see how the year went by and then look forward (without any sense of the blind alleys and surprise appearances you might have) at the year ahead. I had penned down a few resolutions and then as always forgot about it and let life take its course. Now it is time to look back and then look forward. Here are what I decided as 2010 ended and how they look as [...]
There are times when words cannot do justice to what you wish to convey, often it is when you need to write about someone dear to you. What prose can’t do justice to sometimes poetry can. As a cold winter knocks at the door When the breeze gently brushes my face As I button up and walk out in the rain And a million drops fall on me I look up and say, ‘Wow’ When I see you every morning [...]
Tomorrow, November 1st is the National Novel Writing Month where online creative writers come together to accept the challenge to create a 50000 or more words Novel. This means penning slightly more than 1600 words a day starting November 1st and ending on November 30th. The aim is on quantity than on quality, because there are limitations when you try to write a fresh novel in a short time span. Everyone who completes the challenge is a winner. There are [...]
There is so much written about what happens around us and how things are not the way it should be and why it should change. But beyond the words written, it sometimes takes real people with a mission to make the change. Thomas Pluck and Fiona Johnson and Ron Earl Phillips are those real people for me. They have collected thirty tales that were written online and collated them into an anthology, the proceeds of which will go to PROTECT [...]
Tum Itna Jo Muskura Rahe ho; Kya Gham Hein Jisko Chupa Rahe ho. When he with his soulful voice asked us what is the sorrow hidden behind the smiles, many of us would have felt touched for every one of us have had the experience of smiling some unknown personal wound. Jagjit Singh’s voice and Ghazals made his fans open up and meet their inner self. He through his Ghazals told his listeners that they could heal their wounds and [...]
Not many people will be remembered like how the world will remember Steve jobs. More than remembering the person because they know him personally, countless people now and yet to be born will be forced to remember him for the sheer contribution of his creative genius. There is a difference between being known and being remembered. Many people after they pass away are remembered immediately by many and then they slip into the state of being known, a reference of their [...]
When nature chose her to bear excruciating pain so life could begin, she took it up with a smile in her face. With no arrogance that it all starts with her, she brought you and me into the world we now live. She is our Mother! Committing to us even before we are born; all those months when we are in the womb, she ate for us and breathed for us and even her desires become controlled by us. She [...]
Rhea Turns 12 today. I remember when her first tooth fell, it did not really fall, plucked would be the right word. A two day event with me giving way for all her antics till her mom said that I was too much lenient. I remember her excitement getting 5 dollars from the tooth fairy, and me borrowing it once when I did not have change. Then she grew up to know that fairies were fake and I told her, [...]
Everyone loves the festivities of a seasonal holiday. As we grow we also change the way we celebrate everything, Birthdays, holidays, special occasions and more. From where I come in India, we have two major festivals specific to the region. Though Christmas and Ramadan are also big events in my hometown, these two have a special role as they pertain only to the people in our state. One is the beginning of the New Year and other is the celebration [...]
