Marching On

I meant March-ing on! I am now a little bored, not that much. Just a wee bit. 2017 and each month seems to be having a pattern. The Ying and Yang continues. First half of March, my universe had found balance again. I was happy, good things were happening to me. I stumbled upon..all good … Continue reading

Fabulously Faulty February

My February was great (and bad). It was full of positives (and negatives). This was the month that I truly experienced the Ying and Yangs of life, where it was almost as if life was deliberately handing me signs. I was given good news, then subsequently given bad news. I was well in control of … Continue reading

Just January…

January 2017 – What a month has it been… I am somewhat of a cheery person, occasionally I may mope and run my mouth like a sailor, but I think most times people would describe me as easy going and happy. I am also one of those clichéd ones, who attempt to be extra optimistic … Continue reading

October Dedication

So October was a very busy month for me. So busy that I can’t help but keep bragging about it to everybody. I helped plan three surprise birthday parties for three different people, on three consecutive weekends. That was indeed quite a bit of work and many times I almost gave up and though, “oh … Continue reading

Guess who’s back…

It isn’t too difficult to find inspiration or to feel inspired enough to write. What’s difficult is to find a moment or two to put them down together, and what’s even more difficult is to write them at the speed of the fleeting trains of thoughts. Music has always put me in the right mood … Continue reading

Trust thy hormones!

Setting – Dubai Mall fountain show, a chilly Saturday evening It was a quiet evening and I headed to an evening of coffee and mall strolling with my mum at the Dubai Mall. And since we were already there we decided to catch a fountain show. I don’t quite remember the events that transpired earlier in … Continue reading

The Shirt – Day 2

The Shirt – Day 2

Today I slept with the same shirt next to me While listening to Indie songs The time is midnight For once I don’t feel too alone I’ve got your warmth, your sillage As I turn around and stretch To leave soft kisses On your neck Like I did that night. (There are hundreds of miles … Continue reading

Never possibly together

If he was the vast, calm, and resolute desert I was the fresh tropical breeze, freely fluttering.. -let alone togetherness, even comparisons were not possible.

For the love of poetry..

I prefer dysfunctional things in life, Not because I am reckless or adventurous, But because of the poetry I can find in them.. The flaws and scars become such beautiful words!

Hypocrites

Oh what hypocrites we are.. When the calm takes over, We wish for a storm When the storms hit, We wish they would stay And when we are left Wrecked and mangled We swear off them.. But we saw it all coming And still we chose to embrace it.

Smug Stars

The constellations know not The exuberance of a lone star They beam bright With an acquired smug Unrealising.. ‘Tis the absence of the sun -of the single sun, That makes them glow.

Which is Your Colour of Life!

Which is Your Colour of Life!

So the other day “inspiration” (or rather, “wisdom”) struck me while I was shopping. Or possibly dreaming of shopping. Pick one which is believable. You know how clothing stores push in bright shades in to their winter collections? Like it completely understands your moods during winter. They speak to you. “We know it’s gloomy and … Continue reading

Grace of Uncertainty

Grace of Uncertainty

People often avoid uncertainty. They don’t like it. But why? Uncertainty is a good thing. There’s hope and scope. There’s hope to dream, scope to believe. It’s true that failure is on one end, but isn’t success on the other end? It’s true that victory is not guaranteed but neither is defeat. There’s opportunity, possibility, … Continue reading

Away with the Whining!

Away with the Whining!

It’s obviously saddening when we are thrown in to difficult, sub-optimal situations.. And so we whine! We refuse to accept and deal with them. We mope around, complaining and just whining to everyone around us..because if I don’t get what I want, I’ll just kill everyone’s buzz yeah?! I prefer not write too much on … Continue reading

Those Fridays..

Those Fridays..

Those chilly Friday mornings These tunes so familiar The days were longed for The moments cherished. The accidental clashes Between fantasy and reality, All seem so warm And not too long gone. There were laughs of joy There were smirks of vanity Smiles of simple purity. Too long, too soon It all came to an … Continue reading

Two steps off course

Two steps off course

You get on with your normal day.. You wake up early, get on  with the daily routine. You do everything right.. You dot your “i”s and cross your “t”s. You feel content, you act responsible. No loopholes for mistakes, no excuses. And then.. One fine day, you stumble! You stumble upon a smile, a warm … Continue reading

The Clingers

The Clingers

They don’t leave you.. They cling on to you! And even when you think you’ve moved far away from them, even when you believe you’ve changed to a greater self of yourself, one moment of self-reflection and you will realise that they are not gone. They are not really gone! They are in a safer … Continue reading

How much is this.. this human’s life?

How much is this.. this human’s life?

I promised myself not to get political on my blog. But some time yesterday my blood boiled too much to overlook the happenings of my mother land. Nevertheless, respecting my own promise, let me make this as least political as possible. This is about human life.. And the value of human life.. And the seemingly … Continue reading

Little things in life

Little things in life

So where I am right now, it’s a little past 5am, break of dawn. My view from bed is of a big city and its highway. There isn’t much colour on the sky, and the first ray of sun is not very well seen. The bright city lights are still on, illuminating the whole sight. … Continue reading

Time flies

Time flies

So it’s mid year. End of the first six months of the year.. Brace yourselves for all the “time flies” clichéd complaints and whining. Oh and the “..as if it was just yesterday”. You hear way too many of those. As for me, nope! It did not fly. I fully lived through each and every … Continue reading

For when you feel ugly..

For when you feel ugly..

There has been many a mornings that I wake up feeling hideous. Hair at its uncontrollable best, possible pimple breakout on my face and you know how it is. And I’d be whiny for the rest of the day. One such day, I came across this beautiful quote on Pinterest and it was an instant … Continue reading

Healing by Sealing

Healing by Sealing

Then comes that moment the defining moment when one ends the effort and sees what’s meant to be and what not..   Cuts one open rips apart the binds time moves slow words don’t heal.. Faith stays, sealing the wounds.

Waiting for a bus home?

Waiting for a bus home?

So this is a dream I had long ago.. And I remember it a little too well. One of the few philosophical dreams I’ve had (well, at least I’d like to think so). I was at a familiar cross-road, waiting to go home. Many buses passed; many buses that could have taken me home. But … Continue reading

New Girl.. (familiar faces)

New Girl.. (familiar faces)

Yes, I do feel very much like Jessica Day in New Girl, because this new city has left me wide eyed- Zooey Deshanel style. I shall not rant too much about this great city, since a single post would not suffice and I haven’t clicked enough pics to upload. And yeah, also because some good … Continue reading

For every storm you survived..

For every storm you survived..

So I was clearing my emails, and I found some quotes from 2011 in the drafts folder. Something that I had saved to read later and completely forgot about. Happens to all of us right, the “I’ll do that later but I’ll forget about it for the next couple of years”?? I think I came … Continue reading

When there has been enough drama..

When there has been enough drama..

Certain decisions are too hard to take- be it, getting in to something scary, letting go of a beautiful dream you had, or severing ties. You tell yourself that you don’t want to give up. You tell yourself that giving up is for quitters. But that’s not always the case. Sometimes giving up is a … Continue reading

A day that’s yours..a day that’s mine!

A day that’s yours..a day that’s mine!

At what age does it become unacceptable for a person to be excited and count down days for his/her birthday? Ok so since I was not too happy with something I wrote yesterday, I decided to write something not-so-serious.. a topic that’s very close to me.. I freaking love birthdays!!!!! I think birthdays are great. … Continue reading

Shades of Purple

Shades of Purple

Neither day nor night, Purple is the shade the clouds have soaked in. The gentle silence, The carefree winds, Flutter of those that fly fast home. A flickering light in the distance Much like a wavered hope..   A wavering hope In a life amidst its own twilight. It’s neither day nor night! Beautiful but … Continue reading

At night..

At night..

  The day is bright. The day is light. The night.. Quiet!   But, haunting. Intense. Thought provoking. Beautifully adorning the burning candle..   Gaze out in to the dark and embrace the night winds.

The Runner

The Runner

You’re forever running.. Running from the pain, the sorrows, and the never-ending doubts.. Too afraid of the chances to be taken down your path, too afraid to take the proverbial leap of faith.. are you that hesitant? Did you really build your walls that high? What is it going to take you to realise that … Continue reading

Designed to Deceive

Designed to Deceive

A new kind of deceit a new betrayal little did u know- even the bloods let u go.   Pretty memories joyful days. You painted the rainbows when their skies were grey.   And now they left you alone in this cold silence.   Storms rage, rains fall within your mind within yourself.   Wish … Continue reading

The trick to being inspired is…

The trick to being inspired is…

When am I most inspired? At 3.28 in the morning, when there is a tonne of things in my mind. I tune in to 8tracks (I love the slow, melancholy songs), lay in silence, think about everything and nothing, dreaming of the “what if”s and reminiscing the “oh well”s. Ah inspiration! Take some time off … Continue reading
