The Wish

This year for my new year wish I ask, A little more luck and a little something from the past. I want that girl who sat at my side when I drove, I want the girl whose laugh made my day whole.   Every one of those exchanged smiles from across the room, I want...

You Vs. Who?

Photo by Andrea Piacquadio on Pexels.com I was Cycling this morning and I noticed another cyclist about half a kilometer ahead. I could guess he was Cycling a little slower than me and that made me feel good, since I was faster. I said to myself, "If I ride a little faster, I will catch...

Eternity & Beyond

I wish I could have you here with me, Hold your hand as and when I please, Hug you tight when I feel incomplete, A life without complications is all I plead, Things would be so easy indeed.   To love and care for you is all I seek, Be your go-to person at any...

Take a thousand steps and maybe a thousand more, And ever so often you’ll want to take a thousand more. In the mornings, evenings or late at night, A therapeutic activity to test your fight. Every step taken is a step closer to your goal, A step towards making your achievement whole. And when your...

What if I start reciting to you a story, Starting with ‘once upon a time’, Revolving around a captivating human, And their actions since their very existence.   You hear my words with great interest, And resonate with every sentence I say.

Becoming By Michelle Obama

I was really looking forward to reading this book because I thought I’d get an insight of what it was like living in the White House and what it was like to be the First Lady.

Gone Girl

To begin with, I made it a point to read the book first before I saw the movie, cause I personally prefer all the very minute details and emotions a book can cover, that a movie never could. It is impossible to cover a 400 page book into a 2 hour movie and not skip...
