Life is nothing but a treasure box full of some beautiful memories.
Every time you take a peep in it, you are transported to that time when all that you can remember are the beautiful smiles you had on your face!

Tonight I dream a dream

A cobweb of thoughts coming together to let out a scream

Hidden desires, unspoken thoughts and unanswered questions

Is all that I am left with!

I want to say and be heard

I want to speak and be understood

I want to cry and be hugged

I want to listen and be told

Can all this walk out of my dreams and come true?

These were my thoughts years ago and one day I got the answer, so was born this blog. Born out of a need, a desire, a necessity to have a place where I could just be me today this place is like my alter ego. A place that defines Me is the most perfect manner possible on this earth. Every time I flip these pages and visit my old posts I find traces of myself I left behind to become what I am today.
 
And throughout this journey this blog held my hand like a very faithful friend telling me when I faltered that it’s ok to fall down in life as long as you know how to get up once again. It hugged me every time I did something proud worthy and it also kicked me every time I ignored it for all. But the most beautiful part in this relationship is YOU for every time we both (me and my blog) came up with something you with your wonderful presence and lovely comments made it so exciting that we would literally be on 7th heaven for a long time after that.

Thank you so much for all your love, support and encouragement as always! My thoughts for you on this day are what this picture stands for :) In last three years I have made some wonderful friends, superb critics (trust me every author needs them!!), amazing well wishers and yes also a handful people who make me value the good things in life more! One of such beautiful friend sent this as a gift to me and I had to share this with you here.

Footprints in life that I leave behind ~As I move ahead to make a move Such reminders help me sail through dark clouds as “Ï am loved” is all that they prove!
 
P.S: My blog completes 3 years today and this was a small dedication to IT and YOU! Wish me luck, I need it and send me loads of love like always for I want it!

Diary of a Lost Wanderer - Lost & Found

Dear Diary, I fell in love with Mumbai when I first visited it in 1995. Bombay, as it was then known, fascinated me since then.  If you ask me what made me fall in love with this city, I perhaps cannot explain. It wasn't that I was seeing the sea for the first time. It wasn't even the biggest city I had been to till then. Still, there was something so magical about this place. The trip was a short one lasting less than a week but this city now had my heart. Years later, I arrived here all alone on my first solo trip in 2005 and fell in love all over again. I got my first job and was required to come to Mumbai frequently. The local trains, the chaos on the roads, the crowds, the humdrum, the salty smell in the air, the stale air- everything about this city was intoxicating for me.

Essay: How to mourn the loss of love?

Image Source: Unsplash.com I remember the first time I mourned the loss of love was when I was eleven.  For me, dance was love at that time. I had discovered a strange joy as I glided in and out of those movements. Every time I swirled; I could feel my heart soar. Any beat that strained to reach my ears, tempted me to move my body to its tune. I just knew I was born to dance and that is the only thing I wanted to do, all my life.  I had my reasons to believe so and a very simple one at that. It made me happy. That was a reason enough. However, my father thought otherwise. Girls from good families, do not dance. That line was enough to break all those rosy dreams of dancing on a stage. The day my brother was sent to the same dance class which was not good for me, was the day I experienced heartbreak for the first time.  That is the day I mourned the loss of my first love- Dance.

Metro Diaries: The Art of Making Love

Image Source: Unpexels (Cottonbro) “Do you know why is it called making love?” He whispered, pulling the comforter closer.  I don’t remember for how long we had been in that room, on that bed. Lying aimlessly, just feeling each other in silence. I managed to just whimper to denote my curiosity.   “Because that is the moment we create love. We are the closest we could ever be to love, in its purest form. It is sheer magic as we are naked, in every form. Mentally, physically and emotionally before that one person, we love. We know they can hurt us, as much as they want to, in the way they want to. But love gives us that power to trust them, that they won’t.”   “And here I was thinking it is a need. Something you want at that moment and you get it!”
