Optimism will take you far!
I always wanted to write…even when I was an eight year old reading Noddy by Enid Blyton! I graduated to Hardy Boys,Nancy Drew…then Agatha Christie and Sidney Sheldon…matured to reading classics and contemporary literature….the urge to write remained. Over the years, I wrote a little…random thoughts….a few poems…but till a year back,I was basically just procrastinating! I thought I would write when I had the time…a utopian dream when you are married,have a child and a full time job. My eldest brother loves writing too( and yes,I look up to my brothers a lot,which you must have made out by now if you have read my previous posts). In the…

What rested on your scalp once, that cascade of black will never descend. How could you give it up like this? After all, it had been your companion since long. You disowned what was so faithfully yours. Did it ever selfishly leave you alone? At least shed a…

Tear!
Drop of water trickling down, from mourning eyes to thirsty lips. Washing the pale cheek it comes, and down on barren earth it drips. Drop of water trickling down, from eager eyes to smiling lips. Caressing a rosy cheek it comes, and down on a loving hand it drips. A drop so same,yet so different, expresses my joy,reflects my sorrow. An everlasting companion, mine alone,today and tomorrow! Have you ever wondered how important and significant tears are in our life? Yes,most probably you haven’t. We all begin our life with a cry that enables the lungs to open up and expand,thereby enabling us to breathe. We do not shed tears…
