“Soan, you write well! Write, we’ll get it published.” This used to be Abhay’s statement whenever I read out something new that I’d written. “But what do I write about? There has to be something, I can’t just start writing and what do I write?” used to be my standard reply. “Write a book on…
Cien Dias!
Cien is hundred in Spanish language. And reaching 100 means one has achieved a milestone. This first three digit number has the charm that neither 99 nor 101 have. It may be because reaching a 100 seems difficult but still is not impossible. And it appears closer after a 25 or 50 or 75. The…
Why postpone happiness?
The month-long summer break always gets over even before we start to realize its beginning. It starts with a lot of anticipation, planning and whoof just disappears in a whiff. This vacation was no different. I had a proper plan to get up early, exercise daily, go for the morning walks, stay active, study daily…
All Things Bright & Beautiful!
This was our school prayer in my middle school but we sang the shorter version. The one which was sung by Bill Staines and not the original hymn as written by Cecil Alexander. I loved the first and the last stanza after the refrain and singing it always warmed my heart. I remember our art…
I’m Bad!
My saying that i am bad is a proclamation, and not an attempt to grab attention. In a world that often celebrates success, achievement, and perfection, it is difficult to acknowledge one’s own shortcomings and admit when we fall short. But i feel it is alright to accept oneself as they are without having to…
Random Thought! #51
There are random thoughts that come to my mind. They are basically conversations happening in my head, sometimes with my own self at times how two people would be talking to each other, triggered by something i may have read, seen, overheard. Sometimes these thoughts evolve into a post or a poem. Other times they…
It’s shared!
A few days back I received an email from a colleague, containing a single file: ‘Word Document 148’, for me to edit. No name or title for the file! And it’s not an individual aberration. I see so many of them working on Word docs, Excel sheets without a file name. Check a drive and…
Nothing
More than writing it is the selection of topic that is a task. This was my question to Abhay too when he used to say that i should write. “Write about what?” Guess it’s the presence of confused off and on writers like us that prompted WordPress to start giving a daily prompt. So, far…
Click Click!
This weekend we went to a water-park and boy the fun we had! There we were, a motley group of women in all shapes and sizes in their thirties to fifties, having a blast and there wasn’t a single camera to click us! 😮 What a disappointment!! All the mobile phones were locked away in…
Random Thought! #50
There may be numerous reasons to forget you but they all lose against a single emotion, my love for you.It is something which can’t be weighed, calculated in percentages to check whether it’s profitable or not. It’s not a venture to invest only for gain. It’s something which happened without plan or preparation and it…
A Soap Story
Indians have been recycling their waste even before sustainability became a UN goal and showing concern for environment fashionable. Today the situation is bleak and the masses are expected to do something about it while the classes jet set and zip zap zoom in their fancy yachts, cruises and jet planes. Well i won’t get…
