What is important?

A few weeks back I was an enthusiastic contestant of the A to Z challenge. I really wanted to do it because I was way out of touch with writing in general. I was off to a great start, I posted blogs regularly, visited the blogs of others and commented “Good write up” and similar… Read More What is important?

Darkness (AtoZ challenge)

As the light eluded and the darkness persuaded When everything went into the fold of night When the stars shined brighter than the lights We sat in the terrace on one beanbag The wind blew silently, adding life to our romance Me on your lap and a guitar in your hand Your fingers playing with… Read More Darkness (AtoZ challenge)

Ceraunophile (AtoZchallenge)

I am obsessed with new words and few months back I started writing poems and drabbles based on these new words. And the obsession continues through the A to Z challenge. C for Ceraunophile. As I walked down the stairs to the basement I was in a dilemma. The building I worked in was a jail.… Read More Ceraunophile (AtoZchallenge)

Broken! (AtoZchallenge)

I lay on the floor hugging a guitar, tears dried on my cheek, eyes swollen and throat dry. My heart was barren of hope and belief when the morning light trickled into my room. You have not slept for three days, you have not eaten for three days, and you have not moved from the… Read More Broken! (AtoZchallenge)

A for many Random things! #AtoZchallenge

Arrange whatever pieces come your way – Virginia Woolf. I had one of the worst days of my life; so worst that I did not even realize that it is Friday until afternoon. I came back home and threw myself on the couch after dinner with a book – Looking for Alaska. I have officially… Read More A for many Random things! #AtoZchallenge

When my mother passed away, everyone who came to know about it told me that it will get better and that I will be fine. I will move on and eventually find happiness. They told me that she might not be physically present but she will always be around. But I don't want her to. I don't want her to look out for me even after she's left this world. I want to unburden her of her responsibility - me. I want her to be free because freedom is all she desired all her life. Freedom from the worldly pleasures. Freedom to live life on her terms. She is a force to reckon with and I will never trap her with me. I don't believe in heaven and hell. I believe that when someone dies their soul becomes a part of the universe. That's what she told me when I asked her if she believed in heaven or hell. I believe her. So she is a part of the universe now and yes, I know she is looking out for me. But if there is heaven or hell, I know that woman is probably creating her own version of heaven or hell because she didn't like what they already have there! I know most of us don't know what to tell the person who's just lost someone and it's ok! Very few people know to say the right things and I am lucky to have them. Few, keep quiet because what can you really tell a person who's lost someone? Whatever you do, do not tell them that this too shall pass and that they will feel better. That they will get over it one day or that they should stay strong for their family or father or husband or wife. They are grieving and they don't have to be strong. They don't have to stop crying. They don't have to pretend to be normal. They don't have to be anything that they don't want to be. Grief is a part of you and it will always be. You may stop crying because you just get tired of it. But you never stop missing the person you lost. It is etched in your brain forever. You do not recover from grief. You just learn to live with it. Grief is a complex emotion. It's not like anger or happiness or sorrow. It doesn't take turns to come. Grief is here to stay. So do not tell a person who's grieving what they should do or how they should feel. You have no right because it is not your ride.
It really is snowing down now!! 😍
