After a long hiatus......

Was talking to Aks today when he asked me to post a poem on the Creative Corner thread on pg.com.I told him I stopped writing and he asked why?...And I asked myself ,indeed,why?

Life's too good to let one incident take it all away from you...so here comes one,after a long time.As always,dedicated to the Kid mod :).

Face the Sunshine

I sit here all alone,in the open air
With the feelings of hurt and despair
For all the things that went haywire
Things which pull me deeper into the mire.

I struggle to make myself free
Against the tears and the misery
I realise,the more I fight,the more I lose
A quiet submission is what I choose.

When I prepare for it to sweep me in
A deep cry rises from within
'Don't give up on me',I hear
A plea arising from the Heart of Fear.

Fear that I may forget to smile
Forget that this may last just a while
While I choose to cry,Life passes by
Why cant it take along my sorrow,my sigh?

But I may choose to forget
All the pain this Love had beget
And carry on just fine
Welcome with a smile,the Rising Sunshine.

Dazed

At times I'm a little lost. Something is on in my mind, but I have no clue what it is. Moving ahead becomes difficult coz something is holding you back. Restlessness and anxiety take over.

A Mid-Life start – Down Under – Part 1

I didn’t know there was a template for a blog post in MS word. In the last 2 years, an idea which was dormant in my idea for about 2 decades or so started germinating. It was mostly watered by the birth of my daughter (that sounded weird) It was about migrating to Australia. There was something about this place which allured me. It was away, self-sufficient, least bothered, aloof, didn’t give a damn and it was both ugly and pretty. It was me in a lot of ways. I started the immigration process by visiting those visa consultants (a special mention of a friend, TJ, a discussion with whom helped me narrow it down) and then over the period of the next 4-5 months struggled through the documentation process. Husband complied wherever possible, but was mostly a sleeping partner in the whole process (that’s very unlikely of him, though. As I discover much later that he played along as he wasn’t much keen on migration, but did so on my behest).  Nevertheless, half of 2014 and a...

Personal Branding

I want to separate out the word personal from branding. I think a personal brand is the moment when you start to lie. Focus first on the personal and you beat up all the competition instantly. Just being honest, being yourself, doing the work, applying the daily practice for just a few months, and your personal self will come to life more than it ever has before. You'll be honest with the people around you and that automatically beats all the competition because they’re too slick, too dishonest, too focused on their brands. You’re not focused on that anymore. When you come up with honest, sincere ideas for people, and you give rather than expecting to take, then you suddenly have separated yourself out from 99 percent of the competition. You win. And it’s that easy to do it.
