Be you – Own it.

As I’m growing older and continue to experience, one lesson that has been helping me build my confidence is- Own it. So, here’s a little something for you.

my sunrays

When you left, it felt like the sun was gone for my moon only leaving darkness behind. 6 years gone by, I’ve been like a star reborn going through darkness and shining my own light. and sometimes I wonder, if you were my sunlight at all, or a dark black hole that gave me birth…

Breaking Point?

What prompts you to wake up in the middle of the night could be thirst, the sound of thunder and the sight of lightening or all of it. What keeps you up at nights or prompts you to wake up in the middle of nights could also be either love, betrayal, heartbreak, memories of the…

Oh Edinburgh!

The sun shines bright, the grass tickles my back, a slight breeze, fingers through my tangled hair. Eyes wandering up at the bright blue clear skies, birds soaring high. Trees shining green, shadows growing stronger moving around as the sun rises & sets. Yellow daffodils along the road sides, little white & yellow daisies sprouting…

Dates.

Dates, they freak me out, same number of the day, same number of the month. It’s like the printing machine stuck chrrr… chrrr… cluck. click. grrr… Yet, it’s another year. Like printing machine’s partial prints takk.. tak. dakaa dakka tak…chrrr… Maybe it’s a memorial of you everyday. A voice in my head says, “There’s something…

That word- “Love”

Love, so confused is this little word. Some say it’s a beautiful world on its own. Some say it’s the world where ‘god’ resides. Love, so confused is this little word. Some mean it when they say ‘I love you.’ Some use it to gain something in return. Some just say it because they want…

I Write

I Write, because then I feel stronger. I Write, because it helps me to look through events from a third pair of eyes. I Write, so I can go back to read & understand some missed bits. I Write, so that I can re-learn something new. I Write, because it’s my lifeline. I Write, because…

Mirror Mirror…

#3YearsAgo I had my life’s funniest experience: At school there was this new girl; tall, skinny yet sexy. Let’s call her Sara. We went to a 3 day camp to a place called Hatu nearby Shimla. It was an ‘only girls’ trip. This trip is one of the best I’ve ever had. It’s an awesome…

Everyday had been Mother’s Day

Born in a Hindu family, a point came in my mother’s life when she fell in love with the Sikh religion. In her words ,”I had read many holy books, every good quote that came in my time’s newspaper but nothing satisfied my thirst for peace. Then when the first time I read the Guru…

Daata- Maa

None in our family actually ever celebrated mother’s day because for us everyday was mother’s day. My sisters chatted to her almost everyday (big thanks to technology). I lived with her for almost 18.5 years minus 3 months of all my trips without her. At very young age I didn’t like mom, because she was…
