Comfort Zone
“Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.”- Neale Donald Walsch It’s quite easy, is it not To go with the flow, without a thought Live your life in a fashion predictable Following a routine is practical Saves time in a world fast-paced Helps you stay ahead in the race You are most productiveContinue reading “Comfort Zone”
Inspiration Overload
I’ve observed a growing trend Among my acquaintances and friends Of sharing on social media every day Inspirational quotes with clever word play Superimposed on a backdrop spectacular Of natural beauty, of vistas singular Thoughts for the day meant to inspire Soak in positive energy, before the world can conspire To derail your plans and bringContinue reading “Inspiration Overload”
The Road Well Traveled..
Fed on a steady visual diet Of facebook, instagram and pinterest Watching photographs of jaw-dropping scenery Of amazing places in far-flung countries I thought that everything worth exploring Needed an air-ticket, places around me were boring My city, after all, could not compete With a volcano in Hawaii spewing heat So every weekend I wouldContinue reading “The Road Well Traveled..”
The Novelist
I wondered what would happen if a novelist tried to make her stories come alive in her own life…the result is this poem Born with a natural inclination To tell stories, mixing facts with imagination From the time she could sentences write Pen and paper made her jump in delight Soon she started jotting downContinue reading “The Novelist”
Create something beautiful
To find some meaning in every single day To keep the creeping blues at bay There is something that I have found Not a mantra earth-shattering or profound It is to create something beautiful each day With your hands and your mind, in your own way We all have talents, evident, or waiting to beContinue reading “Create something beautiful”
Far from the madding crowd…
“I never found a companion that was so companionable as solitude.”- Henry David ThoreauMost days of my life I am defined By the roles I play, my path is aligned With my family, co-workers and patients They are the ones that give me a sense Of belonging, of merging seamlessly Into the multi-layered structure of the society IContinue reading “Far from the madding crowd…”
Queue
Nothing can beat the annoyance Of waiting in a queue with simmering impatience Forming and waiting in an orderly line can be A reminder of school life and its tyranny- The tedium of enforced discipline Where breaking rules was considered a sin That’s where my thoughts wander to While squirming in my place, I waitContinue reading “Queue”
Tourist destination
There was a place of beauty virginal An island unmarred by activities industrial Inhabited by people content with being Contained in their world and seldom seeing The outside world, they did not care For interaction with people beyond their sphere The bounty bestowed by nature they respected Quite self-sufficient, there was not much they expectedContinue reading “Tourist destination”
Inquisitive
Questions from my child never seem to cease His curiosity is as vast as the seas Sometimes appropriate, at times awkward Often asking me to explain difficult words He bombards me with questions invariably When I am preoccupied, and irritably I try to brush him off by saying I don’t know He does not getContinue reading “Inquisitive”
To be a story-teller
As long as I can remember A secret wish have I harbored To be a story-teller in some way Reach out to people every day Tell tales built on pure imagination Or recount true stories of different nations Somewhere in my heart I want a vocation Which would let me indulge in this passion AContinue reading “To be a story-teller”
Rumor
It started as a statement quite innocuous A bored mind with nothing worthwhile to discuss Concocted a story loosely based on A conversation that had been eavesdropped upon Assumptions were many, because what was heard Was not a full conversation, just a smattering of words Strung together with an imagination fertile Those words formed aContinue reading “Rumor”
Passion...unbridled
