Have you?

Have you ever felt lonely?
Surrounded by people, their movement, their noises..

 Have you ever found none to talk to?
In a crowd of exchanged 'Hello's and 'Hi's..

 Have you ever waited for a real evaluation?
Shuffling through a list of comments and compliments..

 Have you ever felt all the more alienated, unprobed, untouched?
Scorching under those piercing, judgemental stares..

 Have you ever found words meaningless?
Further emptying the emptiness by their own vacuum..

 Have you?
Have you ever?

Delhi Through the Seasons

Good books I just dive into.  But better books I save for good occasions. Like this one, that I saved for my trip to the mountains. 🌸 'Delhi through the seasons' by Khushwant Singh 🌸 Having aptly been called the modern Barahmaaha, with a theme of nature, DTTS talks about the rotating wheel of seasons in Delhi and North India, in general. Having been written by the maestro Khushwant, based on his diary entries and his observations as a bird watcher (it was a surprise for me too to find another feather in his hat), it addresses one aspect that all other Barahmaaha treatises of the past chose to ignore - nature - flowers and birds and animals.

But thanks to the divine illustrations by Suddhasattwa Basu, I felt as if I was sitting in Lodi Gardens while reading this one, surrounded by fragrance and chitterings.  🌸 So read this one to get to k...

Pyromania : Revenge Idea # 1

To take your revenge against an irritating chatterbox friend,  start with a message dripping with the hint of some juicy gossip. As soon as you are blessed with double ticks on your mobile screen (sent and delivered), go offline,  switch off your phone,  throw it in the bin,  run away and hide in your bed. Best sleep of revenge ever! ^_^ Am I high? Oh,  I don't think so ;-)

tuesdays with Morrie - A Review

  (18 of 2021) 📚 'tuesdays with Morrie' with Mitch Albom 📚 This one really taught me that you don't need to be bald to be a star of your trade. Hey! I am talking about Robin Sharma and the Monk Who Sold His Ferrari. 😉 When it comes to life lessons, this book is way more realistic and way less cringe. Bonus : it's a True Story.  📚 To summarise in one line, I'll tell you the complete title - 'tuesdays with Morrie - an old man, a young man, and life's greatest lesson' 😎 The book is a memoir of Author's Professor at Brandeis University Mr Morrie Schwartz. SPOILER ALERT : The book talks about Positive and Energetic Morrie's Tryst with ALS/Lou Gehrig's disease. It's a disease that we know from Stephen Hawking and the Ice Bucket Challenge but this book will tell you so much more - how it affects the body, taking over part by part. Sounds heartbreaking? Don't worry - Morrie's Positivity Lessons with Mitch every Tuesday will keep you ...
