The Goddess and Motherhood

I dedicate this post before the lotus feet of the Divine Mother. May the Goddess bless us with her grace and love. Last 9 days, millions of Hindus across the globe observed Navratri, paying obeisance to the Universal Mother and celebrating the victory of the good over evil. The Indian Subcontinent is one of the …

What’s your name?

What's your name, dear one? Are you fond of anything or none? Your dreams await your chase As you stumble about this maze I want to hear your voice Speak louder than the piercing noise Of the society that wants to mold you To something else they want from you.. Why hide your true self? …

Break Down

Most days now, I spend with peace- of-mind "Nevermind! Everything will be alright" But at times, my system breaks down The control panel rings the warning alarm As I stare blankly at the uncertain times Lying ahead of my twisted journey. The weight of my dreams crushing my spine While my heart says,"No! You must …

Piece of glass

Man is a broken piece of glass Once a beautiful vase crafted by the Divine Transparent innocence painted on its young body Transmitting light of a delightful mind.. Man was once a perfect piece of glass.   Man is a broken piece of glass Tormented by the trials of time, Who etched troughs and valleys …

Life Lessons : page 1

I've been thinking of starting this category for some time. I have a habit of spending several evenings, usually when it rains, contemplating on the lessons life has attempted to impart onto me during my 22 year-old journey.

Grounded

Like a broken record, they say I should stop this senseless play And chase my goals, as if today Is the last chance before Doomsday.   No, I haven't forgotten at all The dreams left to realize before final fall But I choose to grow steady and tall, Unlike a mad bull hitting the wall. …
