You don't write because you want to say something. You write because you have something to say.
“Should I be worried?” you asked me. And I was quick to blurt out an emphatic NO. I didn’t want to lose you, I thought. But I never did have you, so what did I fear losing? Could anyone take away what I feel for you? Could anyone take away the beat my heart skips […]
This was a song that once brought me angst /Today that has flipped to a positive headline / Better days are here to come / Better days are here // What changed was not the world around me, but me.More precisely – my state of mind. There are days when you pour your heart and […]
Write. Because you have something to say.But what if I don’t know how to?Doesn’t matter.You have something to say.It’s been over a month.Doesn’t matter.Too many things have happened.So start with one.You make the rules, you draw your boundaries. Start here.You let life get in the way of your words, and yet your words get you […]
One of the many side effects of living away from “home”, of opening your world, or better yet your mind – it’s just not enough, nothing. Where do I belong? A question that haunts me in broad daylight, one I know is not unique to me, yet is my very own. You are not born […]

Such is the way of life of a wise person – retiring to their inner self, in their own company. I’ve started 2019 on a questioning note, which now that I think about it, makes total sense – it’s a natural response to observing. Not all that pleasant, not all I wanted. Yet good. And […]
Discovery. It was the word of 2018. I don’t think I would have chosen it so, had I written this post at the close of last year. But that’s what I ended up discovering. I discovered a lot of things this year – about people, my people, places (past and yet to come), about life […]
adjective : Bound. Committed. Attached. Attachment, it’s a dangerous place to be in. Because isn’t it , by definition, an add on, extension, an extra part (not inherent?). And yet most of this is exactly where we all live – in attachment – of someone, something, some place. The moment you gain a sense of attachment, […]
I began to thinkwhat do I wantthis year was about finding just thatnow it’s come to closeand I’ve never felt so lost It made me thinkwhat do I wantthat’s when I started finding myself… Deep within (it really is where the answers lie)But how often do we ever start there?How often do we even look […]
