• Guilty

  

  I’m guilty of forgetting of a memory that’s fading I can’t remember The sound of your voice That lulled me to bed when my heart filled with dread or urged me to be tough when the going got rough Or bolstered me up When my cup spilled over And said, ‘Try my dear, once more.’ […]

• Mumbai Diaries : Finding my walking place

  

  I finally found a place to walk- one where I can do so all year round without worrying about the rains or traffic or pot-holes or people! This means I am closer to feeling settled. For a person who loves walking and loves nature, finding this place is as good as attaining nirvana. Since, I […]

• Mumbai Diaries: Scattered Thoughts

  

  I’m feeling a little stuck. While I continue to write and share my writing with the world, I’m not sure what next? I’m not sure where do I go from here? I’m feeling a little swamped. Maybe more than a little. The weather has nothing to do with how I feel. I’ve never been one […]
