Dear Zindagi-A letter to life!
#Dear Zindagi, I know you must be thinking, ”Not again!” But fear not! Today, I do not address you to lament or blame you for my own mistakes and misadventures, I write to you today to let you know what I seldom say to you- ”Thank you!” Yes, you heard it right! I want to thank you…not only for the blessings that you brought along my way but also for the tears that taught me valuable lessons. As I look back at the time gone by, I realise that a lot of years have passed and what I am today is nothing but a culmination of the moments and experiences…

The impact of unsaid words
‘Think twice before you speak’ ‘Actions speak louder than words’ ‘Words once spoken cannot be retrieved’ The list of quotes that advise on the careful selection of words is endless and we oft emphasise on the importance of weighing the effect of words before uttering them. Yet, as powerful as speech is, silence can be pretty strong too. The impact of unsaid words, can at times be deeper than that of the said ones. There are so many instances when we have the right answer to the question, the apt reply to a comment, the exact words that need to be spoken to calm down the situation, and yet we…

Sheroes Hangout-A thing of beauty!
Browsing for a unique calendar for 2015, I stumbled across one that truly was. It had me in awe, for the models depicted on it are beyond beautiful. These are the faces that glow not with conventional beauty, but with strength and resilience and the never-say-die attitude of a woman’s spirit. The calendar features women who survived horrendous acts of acid attack which left them disfigured and physically disabled but failed to break the indomitable will they possess. Bello is Spanish for beautiful and is the name of this calendar which is a part of Stop Acid Attacks campaign by Chhanv Foundation, a non-profit rehabilitation group that helps acid attack…

2015-The year that was!
Today when the clock strikes 12 at night, the whole world shall welcome and view the advent of a new year-2016. Time is an amazing thing-it just goes on at the same pace. Nothing hastens, nothing hampers. The time we spent yesterday became a memory today, whether good or bad; the time of present is the life we are living at this moment; the time of future, tomorrow, with its hopes and wishes, keeps us going. The first and the last days of a year are magical. They make us reflect on the 365 days gone by while inspiring us for the coming ones. I am looking back today too,…

The everyday celebration called life!
I aim for stars of the sky Ignore but flowers that grow nearby. For showers the Lord I do beseech Treasure not, dewdrops within my reach. Bet my life on a single dream While realities slip by as a stream. Being ambitious is being progressive. The dreams we dream and the goals we aim for, drive us forward in life and let us achieve great heights. However in our pursuit of these goals, we oft ignore the little joys around us. Instead of celebrating the event called life itself, we look for ‘bigger‘ reasons to celebrate. Maybe it is due to the fast paced life we are leading or the…

Where there is will…
I’ll stumble & fall on every stone? No, I defy you destiny, I know I should. I dare you to try me more than once. I always stood for all I was or could. Attempt to hurt me as much as you can, I will not shed a single tear. Bring to life the scariest nightmares, I harbour in me but no fear. Take away my joys, bestow me with agony. I will cherish every sorrow. Gift me endless darkness if you will, I will not give up, not today, not tomorrow. Snatch away everything, all I love, I shall still stay alive. Challenge me to any odyssey, any ordeal.…
