Different Expectations

Untrammelled journeys lead to surprising destinations A whispering of silence reveal many secrets Time leaves a soul alone; almost forgotten by a busy world Feels unfamiliar after a lengthy disconnect Past sacrifices itself in the present tranquillity Future dreams appear with cryptic messages Nothing startling after freeing the soul from obstinate time Unburdening opinions of mistaken identities A persistent battle of perceptions and avaricious deals … Continue reading Different Expectations

Without Fear

That which is near, we fear Not everyone can see the soul like a seer From afar, find reasons to cheer Lamenting the love of someone dear Wishing to unburden and feel freer Wait! It’s cold and melancholic tears Pray! Moments of blurriness becomes clear Come, feel life from near, embrace the soul dear Life rhymes during extreme silence and again care Now, look closely, … Continue reading Without Fear

Writing

So, you write?

Writing is never an easy journey. It’s a circuitous way towards a handful of words. Sometimes they are unknown in their nature, sometimes forceful, sometimes evocative, sometimes depressing, sometimes flattering, and sometimes argumentative. Even a tiring journey as this won’t assure the writer a peaceful way with words. Adroitly handling the diverse nature of emotions requires tact. The pen is only skillful only after the … Continue reading So, you write?

The Struggles and Seeking

The struggles are not spontaneous Emerges from the lifeless abyss cloaked in lament The face and tongue lie with the expressions and speech Frowning at the beauty of a verdant land Eyes despair at the images that are being created From a world of distress, the views are blurry and askew Sunken words chronicle misery of being in a predicament Wasteland storms add to the … Continue reading The Struggles and Seeking

My Quote

If you Know…

When you do not know acknowledge it, try to learn; when you do know never hesitate to express yourself. The world is a funny place, where naysayers will demoralize, ignore, or even ridicule you. Probably, the fact that you know will irritate a lot of people and even be criticised for it. In a lopsided world, it is a brave step to hold on to … Continue reading If you Know…

Arduous Journey of Creativity

You can brood, feel extremely frustrated, offend people, appear egoistic, a victim of perceptions, get criticised, be ignored, become an object of jealousy, objectified, stultified, discouraged, encouraged by veiled sarcasm, ostracised All this can happen all at the same time or at various moments in a writer’s life, but they should never keep their pen down and allow them to be dry. Blank pages won’t … Continue reading Arduous Journey of Creativity

Blogging and Knowledge

Undermining the efforts of blogging platform by putting the entire endeavour into a narrow Social Media category is disconcerting. It’s an attempt to curtail the scope of essaying in-depth narratives where writers put in a lot of effort in terms of research and creativity (not measurable by algorithms). There are so many wonderful writers and authors presenting articles which are worth reading, but unfortunately, due … Continue reading Blogging and Knowledge

Poetry

Closer to the Distant feelings

That which is farthest feels closer to the heart If only the heart knew of this longing after emerging from the distractions They sit closer for some reason; trappings of regular dialogues of stern words Judging them takes time and sends tremors across the overworking mind Is silent wandering a myth for the humankind? Let’s imagine the endless possibilities from the shy glances of curious … Continue reading Closer to the Distant feelings

About Love

Embracing love out of fear Perils of putting the feelings into a trap Fear of love and love for fear- a Machiavellian reflection Neither love is justified nor fear addressed Intimate harangue continue to destroy It’s a bloody battle of foolishness Intelligence weaned away by flattery Trapped feet won’t allow the journey Fighting yourself does not battle fear Deceptions and disguise erase reality Renaissance times appear every … Continue reading About Love

How to Write Confidently

Read, but don’t read anything that fancies your eyes; the narrative should appeal to your heart. Try to think beyond the conventional. It is the writer’s ability to imagine a story that will reflect all the dimensions of life. Writing must be brave; do not conform to the usual storytelling ideas and never fashion your writing according to the set ideas. Write with a natural … Continue reading How to Write Confidently
