I couldn’t decide what I wanted to write about today until I saw this flow chart of life (image above). It got me thinking about how many of us are living zombies – just letting life pass us by! Waking up each day doing the same thing over and over. No matter the situation, it’s…

..a little less
Hello everyone… how are you all doing today?? Today’s poem was originally supposed to be a Ghazal (pronounced Guzzle); but then I started writing and I lost the whole poetic scheme, so I just kept on writing till I felt I had written something worthy of blogging lol. My friend reckons I could still get away with…
What is life?
HI guys!! How are you all doing today?? I spent the better half of my night awake (thanks to my bambino), and then I just kept surfing the internet on my phone and I saw the picture above. It got me thinking… is happiness really a function of time? Life has come a long way…
This, I’ve come to love
This is typically what a blog day for me looks like. Pen to paper (while snacking on something lol) before I proceed to type it and then schedule for posting!! I know! I know!! I’m basically doing the same thing twice, but I do love the feel of paper. Todays poem I feel falls under…

Happy anniversary
Yesterday marked the 5th wedding anniversary of my very good friends (a.k.a The Jackies 🙂 ). Today’s poem is one of my gifts to them. I wish them both many more wonderful married years together, filled with happiness and accomplished dreams. I pray you both grow old together. You really are an amazing couple. God…
Time travel
….where do you want to be five years from now? I think someone asked me this question five years ago (minus all the times I got asked in job interviews lol)!!! Five years after, I can honestly say most of the things I wanted have come to be. I think it’s always good to reflect on…
Will you be there?
In life, I think it is very important to have friendships with people who genuinely care about you. There comes a point in every ones life where you just need someone else to pick you up or support you or just give you some words of encouragement. Today’s post was inspired by that. Brought to…
This one is for my bambino
When my mum told me that having a child would change my life, I really didn’t understand until now. Having a baby has changed my life (in a positive way). It has really taught me how to put someone else before myself and my whole perception of the human life has changed. I was a…
