What makes me a writer? I started writing when I was in the 6th grade. I wrote one 6 liner verse and 4-5 2 liners and showed it to my parents. I remember writing them, the hesitation and the desire to show them, the sort of disbelief on my parents’ face, the feeling of content […]

Those Were The Best Days! #SoulfulSunday
Last night as I was taking my routine Facebook stroll I happened to overhear this conversation that took place in my feed. Someone in my friend list posted their school photo and others commented “those were the best days”, “if only we could relive those days”, etc. Often when I hear this statement the question […]
The Pool Guardian #SoulfulSunday
Inspiration. It’s a loaded word. This word has so much responsibility. I have been looking to find some inspiration with no luck over the past few weeks. The inspiration to write, that is. And then I find her standing in our community pool of all the places. Some ten days ago we two guys installing […]

How Was Your Week? #SoulfulSunday

When Nothing Makes Sense #SoulfulSunday
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 […]
