Today was one such day when the conversations in my head didn’t want to appear on the page. Some days writing is difficult. I won’t call it writer’s block. The clatter inside my head never subsided. I couldn’t stay with a single thought, neither could I let a single thought stay with me. While thoughts […]

Some Blogging Rants #SoulfulSunday
When did writing a weekly blog post become such a humongous task? There was a time when I used to write daily blog posts. But that was a different time. There were lots of people blogging because they liked the very act of pouring their hearts out and sharing those thoughts with other like-minded people. […]

When Words & Muse Doesn’t Get Along #SoulfulSunday
Today was one of those days where I felt it was impossible to write. See, it wasn’t the lack of topic ideas that stumped me. I had a few things in my mind to write about. I even started writing on one of those topics. Then it didn’t feel right to me. So I scratched […]
The Rules of Living #SoulfulSunday
In the latest episode of Grey’s Anatomy, an unconscious Meredith describes how a newborn takes the first breath outside the womb. She describes it as the scariest step a human does. Breathing on its own for the very first time. Thinking about it, it made me accept the enormity of the task. That tiny little […]

I finished the book in four days. This book gave me some much-needed perspective. I started thinking about my other lives […]
My Empty Mind #SoulfulSunday
My mind is empty today. As in pin-drop silence. There are no musings hanging around. Not even a trace of thoughts from yesterday. It’s not the effect of meditation, I know that much. It’s as if every bit of thought decided to stay away from my line of sight because otherwise, I would write about […]
Fill Your Cup With Gratitude #SoulfulSunday
A few minutes ago I got the news of another loss. Another life lost. Another family pushed to grieve. Another face wiped off from the surface of the earth. It’s becoming a piece of everyday news now. True, people passed away before also. But since the last couple of years, I’ve heard more number of […]
Now is the Time #SoulfulSunday
My mind is a blank slate today. This happens sometimes. Who am I kidding! This happens often. Especially when I sit down with the intention to write. But today my mind is exceptionally quiet. Like a seashore with no waves. It feels wrong. Since this is the first soulful Sunday writing of 2021 I don’t […]
Beneath the Layers #SoulfulSunday 4
When I write morning pages in the morning, to absorb all my thoughts into a piece of paper, I often find myself empty. I feel nothing. Words disappear. Thoughts hide somewhere. But I know they aren’t gone. Probably just shy. As I sit here to write down my immediate thoughts, I look around and see […]
