As an individual who could get bored very easily, I sometimes struggle to find ways to keep myself interestingly occupied.

I took a deep breath and exhaled ever so loud as if I was blowing air into a balloon. I was working on my “power step technique” which I read recently, about those who struggle to get enough oxygen into their lungs when hiking.

What is life, if you cannot breathe the air freely What is life, if life itself comes with a price tag What is life, if you have no choices to make for yourself What is life, if you are paying the price continuously If life was to get brighter and better for you one day... Continue Reading →
Whilst it’s just another day for me and the rest of the world celebrates International Women’s Day today on the 08th of March, I thought of sharing a TED video which was recently recommended by a colleague of mine at work. This video is just not for the women; it is sound advice for every... Continue Reading →
Time and again I feel this looming gaze over me Every second of the day watching over me It is such a deep seal that I feel Your obnubilation gives me a creepy feel It may be good if you just let me be Without obsessing so much about me I’d rather let some light... Continue Reading →
I will lay myself upon you in sunny weatherLet you float me away just like a featherAlong your ravines and bouldersInto the peaceful banks yonder Take me downstream with all your fallsI’d like the rush of adrenaline in my veinsI can handle the pain and the bruisesI will not mind the danger and the thrills...

As I mentioned in a previous post here, I have been trying my best to master the art of learning to play the guitar and sing at the same time. Still very much an amateur at this and sharing this here as I promised a friend and fellow blogger I would do so. Please do... Continue Reading →
