Caught between Snores and Sleep
September 12, 2024
I have a good relationship with sleep. There is no bad blood between us. I love to sleep and stay asleep without any trouble, leading me to believe that sleep loves me too. A perfect relationship, don’t you think? But I am a light sleeper. Falling asleep is a delicate process. I need those few … More Caught between Snores and Sleep
Writing Through Uncertainty #FictionMonday
July 3, 2024
At this moment, I am feeling lazy. Actually, I feel more tired than lazy. It’s 2:30 in the afternoon, and my eyes are tired. Mind, too. I haven’t written anything in more than a week. Although I have a valid reason for not writing, I feel like I am making excuses. We went on a … More Writing Through Uncertainty #FictionMonday
Learning from Mistakes #SoulfulSunday
September 22, 2023
Last week, I revisited my older YouTube poetry videos, and I’ll be honest – it wasn’t a pleasant experience. I felt that they needed improvement, a lot of improvement. I started thinking, “Why did I bother to record this low-grade voice-over and dare to upload it?” My thoughts spiraled downward – I am not good … More Learning from Mistakes #SoulfulSunday

Taking Responsibility #SoulfulSunday
November 14, 2021
I love making plans. I love making plans and following them. At least I used to. I have made so many plans in the past and fulfilled them too. But of late, my plans are falling apart. To begin with I’m not coming up with stable plans. And following the plans has become a hassle … More Taking Responsibility #SoulfulSunday
Imperfect – the only way of existence #SoulfulSunday
November 1, 2021
The paper is scattered with words. There is no pattern. Or is there a pattern that I miss to understand? The blotched ink on the paper says that despite the effort sometimes things get messy. I hate seeing blotches like that on paper. It isn’t professional. It isn’t nice. But I’m lying. I just want … More Imperfect – the only way of existence #SoulfulSunday
My Journey of Self Discovery #SoulfulSunday
October 24, 2021
What makes me a writer? I started writing when I was in the 6th grade. I wrote one 6 liner verse and 4-5 2 liners and showed it to my parents. I remember writing them, the hesitation and the desire to show them, the sort of disbelief on my parents’ face, the feeling of content … More My Journey of Self Discovery #SoulfulSunday
A Wonderful Outing and Some Reflections #SoulfulSunday
October 17, 2021
Last week we went on a trip to see the fall colors. The trip was fabulous. We Phoenicians are deprived of fall colors and winter wonderland experiences if not for our cooler cities on the north side. The trip to Flagstaff is laced with vistas of gorgeous mountains all around us. This being the first … More A Wonderful Outing and Some Reflections #SoulfulSunday
