Crossroads

Sometimes in life, there is no right and no wrong; as long as you just keep moving on!

At times in life we all reach a crossroads where the only thing that is clear is confusion. We don’t know what to do, where to go and yet we stand there staring at the both the possibilities trying to hear them speak and give some signal. Last few months were like such crossroads for me where if I craned my neck all I could see was a dead end. That sight was enough to scare me off and make me just stand like without moving an inch. But as they say beyond your comfort zone lays your courage zone. I dared to take a step forward and it all fell into place. Sharing some of those beautiful memories those crisscross ways of life left me with before I take another turn towards a new beginning: 


I LOVE 

  • My work – after quitting my full time job as an investment banker I am now working as freelancing editor for various publishing houses and the thrill it gives me is beyond words. As it is said, do what you love and it no longer seems like work. 
  • My health – the recent check up and health reports have some very good signs in it!

I BELIEVE 
  • The silver linings that I kept dreaming of are very nearby now. 
  • The new beginnings are going to be much better, happier and lovelier. 

I WISH 

  • My hands remain full with work always. 
  • Abundant love encompasses me till my last breath.

I SMILE 

  • At those lovely client feedbacks on my work. 
  • Every time I see my blogs and face book page. They help me sail through. 

I WORRY 

  • About a lot of things beyond my control 
  • About my health  - I dont want to go back where I came from.

I HOPE 

  • My health continues to improve like this.
  • I never run out of hope.

I NEED 

  • To remind myself that some things are beyond comprehension they are best left as it is. 
  • Some people are just not worth it at all.

I THANK GOD 

  • For my DSLR 
  • For those many other wishes that I could strike off from my wish list this year. 

Every single moment of life – good, bad, ugly whatever it is – it is what makes us what we are and defines us in a manner to make us what we are destined to be. Having faith and holding on tightly as life takes a sharp turn to new beginnings is the only choice left!

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!”
