Let’s swim?

  “Write, I dare you,” roared the grim monster who had imprisoned me, popularly known as ‘The Writer’s Block’. It filled me with fright. So much, that the mere thought of combat did not occur to my brittle mind. In that misery, I came across the following: Don’t stop. Don’t wait until you have reached…

Veni, vidi, vici.

Shopping in Milan, scuba-diving in Croatia and most importantly — a bachelorette party! Aren’t these crazy, wild and giggly nights responsible for some of our best memories and for making the journey of Ms. to Mrs. thrilling? One day, I want to honestly say, ‘I made it’, and for those three tiny words, I had been working…

I Am Not Well

There is no good morning, There is no hello. There’s no smile, There’s nothing good. For, I’m not well.   I’m not well because, I’m not ‘feeling’ well.

SMOKING KILLS. WE KNOW.

Sometimes, you need to shut your eyes and pray. I planned a much-needed escape from this world’s madness that I was going through. It wasn’t an exotic holiday or crazy shopping.

LATE

Creative without strategy is called art. Creative with strategy is called advertising. – Prof. Jef I. Richards I was late. Way late. I was having a ping pong match with my mind since one week. My mind constantly trounced in disapproval, “Friday to Monday? Nu-uh, not done.”

Brains, beauty and badass determination

Rock bottom became the solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life. – J. K. Rowling I believe everything that occurs (good and bad) teaches and prepares us for the next stage of life. Join the dots, you will realise nothing is wasted (Steve Jobs’ 2005 Stanford Commencement Address). We cannot rewind (I wished that…
