Beliefs Versus Reality: #MondayMusing
I’m a a firm believer of the fact that what you put out to the universe becomes your reality. In simple words, your beliefs and thoughts have the power of manifesting as your reality.
The Connection : #FridayFictioneers
For Ron, it’s a challenge to make ends meet, so a personal phone is totally out of question. His girl friend, Anna lives in Johor Bharu, while he lives in Singapore. At 7, every day evening, Ron goes to the nearest MRT station to call her. A time they both look forward to and cherish, every single day. Today when he calls Anna, a male voice answers the phone, “Hello!”
Journeys of Life: #WanderlustWednesday
Writing fuels my passion for life. So does travelling, that fills me with much ardour and love for this beautiful life. It makes my journeys of life exciting and replete with adventure. It is with this purpose I chose to start this series of blog posts every Wednesday, called Wanderlust Wednesday. Today’s post is a contemplative one and a revelation of my thoughts around travel.
#MondayMusings: The Big C
I have procrastinated writing about the Big C for way too long. The big C that eats into the human body, soul and mind, slowly rendering the person physically and emotionally handicapped. My intention was not to brush it under the carpet. I was just kind of clueless on what to say and what would make sense, with regards to an illness that has been written about innumerable number of times. It’s an disease which is spreading like an epidemic world-wide,…
Rendezvous: #FridayFictioneers
10:22 A.M.: Aamir sits at the wheel; brash and oozing confidence. Though in his late twenties, he sports a salt and pepper stubble. His crooked nose stands out amidst his Greek-God like jaw line.
A Getaway to Creative Wonderland: #WanderlustWednesday
It’s a cloudy Sunday morning. But the sun, though hiding behind the rain pregnant clouds, steals in a shower of golden glow upon me- or is it a creative glow? I’m blissfully unaware of the fact that this will be an eventful day; packed in a mean, scintillating punch.
Of Movies and National Anthem
Last Saturday we went out on a cosy family date to the cinemas. Spider-Man: Homecoming released just a day before and we had already read and heard rave reviews. It had been a while since we had done a movie together as a family. The 9-year-old, doesn’t enjoy movies too much, especially in the theatres. The 19-year-old is mostly out with her friends. So after much cajoling the 9-year-old accompanied us for the movie. So did the 19-year-old. Honestly, even I wasn’t that excited to go watch a school…
The Call of the Wind: #BarAThon
2006, Metro Manila, The Philippines Typhoon Milenyo has struck the Philippines, bringing with it strong winds and rains. We recently relocated to Manila, and have never in the past witnessed the fury of a typhoon that lashes out with such vengeance. The call of the wind, that packs an average speed of 185 kilometres per hour, has left us stunned beyond words. Schools and offices are shut, until further notice. The wind and the rain furiously beat against our huge glass windows. We…
#ThursdayTreeLove 15: Towering Treasures
These palms are ancient, and as beautiful as can be. They are lined across the drive-way of the Vice-Chancellor’s abode in Pantnagar University. When the sun sets across the horizon, they seem to gleefully spread their stunning fronds and bid it a joyous adieu; till they meet again next morning. A truly spectacular sight to behold. The mighty palms are a sweet reminder to keep our life state towering, come rain or shine. @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ This post…
Suns and Lovers: #BarAThon
The sun is setting in the far west; a massive, orange ball of wonder. The azure sky is transformed into a purplish hue, as the opal sunset paints the horizon into a magical marvel. The two lovers, oblivious to this spectacle, lie by the seaside; their bodies entwined in a passionate embrace. They have been there since the wee hours of the morning and seem to have lost track of time. Time simply stands by when they are together. Though they need to…
