“Try again, fail again. Fail Better.” – Samuel Beckett Fail better. Now that is saying something. When I began my career as a software engineer, I had this manager who always told us “Just do it, don’t try!” when we said, “will try”. His remarks used to make us feel that trying isn’t enough, that … More Some quotes and thoughts #FridayReflections
Criticisms. Who like them? No one, you say? But I disagree. Aspiring writers, they thrive on criticisms. Today I got one such a critique on my latest post in Void Thoughts which is a Haiku. I am still navigating my way around this beautiful poetic expression called Haiku. Writing is definitely a lonely affair. When the written … More Enriching a writer’s soul! #MicroblogMondays #MondayMusings
Today morning, while I and Kanna were on our way to his school, I saw a spectacular view. Gleaming rays of the sun, hidden behind the trees branching out in all directions. The leafless trees adorned with the orange hues shined as if it is a forgotten decoration. I couldn’t click the shot, but my mind … More Finding Hope!
It is raining here. Drizzling for the most part of the day. Sun is nowhere to be seen. It is gloomy as it can be. As if to keep company, my head has been aching non-stop since the last three days. I touch my forehead and I can actually feel the pain. No painkiller is … More Nothing but a rant #MondayMusings
Another WhatsApp joke forward on Aamir Khan’s comment find its way to my phone today. And I got upset, again. Yeah, he said what he said. Does that mean that the whole of India should hold him by his neck? Don’t we all make one or other comments like this in a day, when we … More To the WhatsApp Jokers!
Last week was Kanna’s half term break. Last week we were busy with Kanna’s daily swim lessons, the visit to the library and the continuous rain. It was cold throughout. And of course, this week came and put the last one on the warmer side. 🙂 The swim class is around 25 minutes walk from … More A week to remember! #FridayReflections
It has been two weeks since I made an appearance here. I was planning to blog daily in October, but all my plans went downhill when I fell sick. It was one of those times where “together in sickness and in health” bit held true for us. We, as a family, was sick. The good … More And I’m back!
Leaves rustling, making patterns of all sorts all around the ground. Like a child lost in painting on every bit of paper he can find, Autumn is busy creating crafts after crafts. Some are so beautiful that I can’t stop myself from clicking the picture perfect scenery to savor for later. Some with no particular meaning … More Autumn, I fall for you! #FridayReflections
I am practicing meditation now. This is the third week. Of all the fitness activities out there, meditation is probably the toughest one. I like it; it’s a solo activity. I close my eyes, listen to the voice from my phone telling me to quite down my thoughts and focus on emptying my mind. And … More #MicroblogMondays – Between meditating and multitasking!
On a normal day, how many times do you complain? About weather, living expenses, traffic, other people, work, or about something else? I used to complain a lot. But now my complaints have come down a lot too. (My husband might beg to differ here. 🙂 ) It wasn’t a conscious decision to let go … More Do you complain?
