Scars

Lifestyle

It’s just a four letter word, but so deep with memories rooted in it. A scar is often defined as: a mark left on the skin or within body tissue where a wound, burn, or sore has not healed completely and fibrous connective tissue has developed. A scar simply put to me is that part which hasn’t completely healed, at least that is what I get from the definition. Healing is needed from pain or hurtful situations. I don’t recall anyone having to heal from happiness or healthiness. People have… Read More

Start it right

Lifestyle

The 2018, 365 days novel has come to an end, and now joining your life’s encyclopedia. Some pages with a lot on them, others with nothing much and most certainly a few lessons learnt, regardless of how subtile or little they may be. We’ve had people walk into our lives, walk out of it, added a few more names to our contact list, though we don’t even talk to half the people on it. Like I ask myself at the end of every novel, what did I learn? What plus… Read More

Did I Grow up or Grow Out?

Change Lifestyle

When you’re a kid, you have one huge expectation; “I can’t wait to grow up so that nobody bosses me round the clock, no one dares to disturb me when my favourite show is on air, thoughtless of sending me on an errand when I’m playing”. The list goes on, and if that was not on your childhood wishlist you sure are one of a kind. I call it the “every child’s dream”. Alongside our childhood comes this unadulterated package of truth and sincerity. Telling that man sitting by you in a restaurant answering… Read More

You all know that time we get a breakthrough idea, that zeal to do something new, that thing we love with every iota of life in us. Then we eventually start it. We open that shop of our dreams, start that business of our dreams, start writing that book, we give birth to THE DREAM. But how often do we pull through? See it come to fruition? Stand at the end of the day and say ‘we did it’? It often is very easy for us to get discouraged at… Read More

Let’s get started

Growth

The 21st century, era of beauty and glamour, casual yet classy, having the geek and tech guys kind of rule the world. It’s a time of so many possibilities, slumbering is at your own demise, hard work bearing delightful fruits at the end of it all. In the midst of all this evolution, the beauty erected all around us, the turmoil, the smells, the entertainment, do you ever STOP? Quiet the noise all around you and enjoy the moment? Make that weather, that phrase, that look, that smell, that taste,… Read More

Lessons from the blackboard

Poetry
board, blackboard, empty-1848724.jpg

Can you remember back in nursery school? Bag on back and board in arm. Can you remember the teacher cheering you? Bravery at your hand in a piece so hard. You wrote on it time and over again, From your childish thoughts to your wildest dreams. Your white piece of chalk tanned it so white, For wiping never made it as good as new. But you kept writing and got better at it, Childish dreams turned to your great achievements today. By all means it got so white from use… Read More
