When I am happy

When I sing when there is silence

I know I am happy

When I catch myself smiling in solitude

I know I am happy


When I don't rush to light a candle

when it's dark

When I wait

for good things to come

I know I am happy


When I let the winds whisper to me

When I let my dreams disturb me

I know I am happy


For,

When my words stop sitting on my lips

And flow fearlessly 

When the shadows dance with my heart

When my eyes rest on the blooming flowers

I know happiness has found me

The joys of an ordinary day!

I made a promise to myself this morning. Today I am not going to worry, crib, get angry. I will keep myself free of all those nasty emotions. My day, like any other day is going to be a little bit of messy and a little bit of wonderful. That's how an ordinary day is supposed to be. Most of our days are spent in the simple things we do. Real joy and contentment lie in how well we live our ordinary days. Let me live my ordinary day well today.

I soaked in all that peace during my long walk. After I came back, I sat in silence for a few minutes. It helped to get rid of those many tiny stains that had crept in my mental spac...

There was a time when their laughter knew the same roads, when silence between them felt warm like sunlight resting on old wooden floors. They were only friends, or so they believed, hiding little storms inside ordinary conversations. Years passed softly. Life scattered them through crowded days and distant nights, yet somewhere beneath it all, their hearts kept returning to the same unfinished place. And then one evening, truth arrived trembling— not loud, not grand, just two souls finally admitting what love had whispered for years. For a moment the world bloomed. Every memory wore gold. Every word carried wings. But love is delicate when wrapped in confusion. A misunderstanding, a fear neither could explain, grew like fog between them. The boy, unable to hold the weight of lies told closed every door quietly. And the girl remained with echoes of him— with songs that still sounded like home, with conversations replaying at midnight, with the ache of a love that arrived too late and v...

The wild in me

The wild in me does not believe in fences. It does not pause before walls, nor bow before locked gates. It breaks through barriers like rivers that cut through stone. The wild in me is like the restless wind, like untamed fire that wants to explore,  explore and explore, without the weight of fear tied to the ankles. The wild in me loves the freedom of the wilderness that ignites the desires lying latent - to demystify the mystic, to unconceal the concealed, within myself and beyond.
