Words speak, where the heart fails.. To listen to silence, it's desperate wails.. When silence was unheard, voice crept in.. When the voice was ignored, noise did win.. Love was sad, for silence had lost.. To a wedge in-between, at a very great cost.. But...when the voice was heard, and understood.. Music was felt, thus love firmly stood.. Love embraced Silence, in a divine melody.. Together, they smiled, and so did destiny..

Have you played Snakes and ladders?  It is my perfect choice for a lazy holiday afternoon. It is a game in which you will never know how it would go on, and there is no win or loss. Thinking about it, it teaches a lot about life like nothing else.. The way things pan out is based on both choice and chance. You roll the dice, which is a choice in your hands; you get a number, which is purely a chance. Even though it is the numbers that determine how far you will go, you must accept whatever you get and open your account, be it one or six. If you reject what you get and keep waiting till you get your desired number, the chances are high that you will waste a lot of time in it.  The ladders you climb and the snakes you encounter are life's way of telling you that in the giant scheme of things you are just a player. Sure, you must have rolled the dice, but you never know what is next. You might move ahead in life too quick, lucking out with the numbers and climbing ...

It is often described about how difficult it is to understand women. About how women are like the electrical circuit with numerous wires, and about how an unintended press of the wrong switch could trigger a nuclear reaction. However, in the attempt to over emphasize the mystery of un-understandable women, what has been ignored (doubtfully deliberately) is the fact that the mind of Man is equally an unexplored fortress too. Be it the hunter-gatherer, or the family head, Man has historically been seen as the protector. The need to protect his clan makes him to push the "man" inside him deeper, hiding his emotions. And getting hurt, yet putting on a brave face. Who is He? Man, from the vantage point of a woman, is just another person like her, with a very different approach to emotions. While he knows that being expressive would actually be easier on him, he refuses to let go of his guard, not to be seen as easily breakable. Thus, he tends to build a wall around him, bu...

Hey.. This is You speaking... Yeah right, this is me, I am the you from 2019, from 10 years later... Well No, I'm not going to spoil the future for you.. I'm just here to tell you is that you made it, and you will live to see the Sun, every single day in these 10 years.. You will make life's best decisions, and life's worst decisions. Life will seem to be hard at times, and just when you think you can manage, it will get harder.. You will manage to keep afloat and smile.. And yeah, you will have great moments too.. You will make mistakes, and learn from them. It's not just a cliche; mistakes actually do make you stronger. Strong enough to make you smile.. Strong enough to be the reason for someone else's smile.. You will learn to apologize.. you will learn to forgive.. You will know what it is to lose, and lose repeatedly, but you will also know what it is to win.. You will fall, and you will rise. And you will help another rise.. Thank you for that.. You w...

T here lived a girl who dared to dream.. But err she did, though right it did seem.. Well, ignore she did, the omnious flags so red.. And suffer she did, tears unseen, unshed.. Walk away she could, but she did truly dread.. The nest that was hers, would to pieces shred.. None on this earth, could hear her scream.. Of a little girl who once dared to dream.. To err is human, well yes, she did blunder.. But for how long, would she surrender? "Love thyself", and she found it one day.. Her dream came alive to her that day..  Smiling through tears, get up she did.. Like the Earth and the Sea, her time she bid..  Ha, who can stop the rising sun's beam? For she is that girl, who dared to dream..
