In The Now #FictionMonday

January 27, 2025

Let it fall freely—Words, thoughts, ruminations—Without filter,Without delay. Let it not drown your mind.Drop it off—The weight of carrying “what ifs.”Free your mind. Breathe in,Breathe out,Slowly.Calm the nerves,Reset the mind. Sip that coffee,Relax. Without delay,Let it all out—The worries, the anxieties,The expectations. Relish the now,Savor the present.Life is beautiful,When you slow down and face it,Not … More In The Now #FictionMonday

Aren’t we all blessed to be alive,To realize we can be anything,Read any book,Dance to any tune,Dream without limits,Aspire to whatever our hearts desire,Change the world, even just a little? There’s no boundary—Except, the ifs and butsWe impose on ourselves.

Graceful Life #Poem #FictionMonday

December 21, 2024

The harsh realities,the unpleasant truths,the unkind experiences—life, a mixed bag of sweet, sour, and bitter. Yet, there’s grace in the chaos,in the uncertainties that pop in and out.There’s beauty in surviving,as resilience and hope emerge,dancing through the intensifying tensionbetween despair and promise. The ever-so-graceful life,despite its jagged edges,offers moments of stillness—soft whispers of happiness,tender reminders … More Graceful Life #Poem #FictionMonday

Dewdrops #FictionMonday #Poem

December 16, 2024

Could the dewdrops be repulsedby the world around them,clinging so dearly to the petals? Or are they gently drawnto the flower’s delicate touch,its tender embrace,whispering sweet nothingsin quiet communion? Perhaps it isn’t aversion,not an escape from something else.It might simply be affection,a quiet fondness,that draws the dewdropsto the petals. © Vinitha Dileep This piece is written … More Dewdrops #FictionMonday #Poem

One Thing I’d Change #Poem

December 4, 2024

What’s that one thing I would change about myself? I want to say there isn’t any. I’m good as I am, flaws and all. Thank you very much. A usual, noncommital answer, showing off an uncalled expression of self-love, proclaiming “I am enough”,covering up the bruises and aberrations as if they mean nothing— but are … More One Thing I’d Change #Poem

If I Didn’t Need Sleep

November 26, 2024

If I didn’t need sleep,I would happily gaze at the stars,night after night. If I didn’t need sleep,I would count the stars flitting in and out,between veils of clouds.

The Voice #MundaneMonday

October 7, 2024

Beyond all the noise, I hear my inner voice. It doesn’t always happen, but often, its familiar tune repeats. The first time I heard it, I was surprised. I dismissed it as a fluke, yet the surprise came from what the voice said—it spoke kind things about me, things I needed to hear, things I … More The Voice #MundaneMonday
