There is a kingdom of the spirit’s ease.
It is not in this helpless swirl of thought,
Foam from the world-sea or spray-whisper caught,
With which we build mind’s shifting symmetries,
Nor in life’s stuff of passionate unease,
Nor the heart’s…

Phenomenal woman - Maya Angelou
Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I'm telling lies.
I say,
It's in the reach of my arms
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.

Love - Khalil Gibran
Then said Almitra, 'Speak to us of Love.'
And he raised his head and looked upon the people, and there fell a stillness upon them.
And with a great voice he said:
When love beckons to you follow him,
Though his ways are hard and steep.
And when his wings enfold you yield to…

Clenched Soul- Pablo Neruda
We have lost even this twilight.
No one saw us this evening hand in hand
while the blue night dropped on the world.
I have seen from my window
the fiesta of sunset in the distant mountain tops.
Sometimes a piece of sun
burned like a coin in my hand.
I remembered you with my soul clenched
in that sadness of mine that you know.
Where were you then?
Who else was there?
Saying what?
Why will the whole of…

The 22 Signs You Are Addicted To A Book
“Books are the ultimate Dumpees: put them down and they’ll wait for you forever; pay attention to them and they always love you back.” — John Green
When was the last time you read a book? I don’t mean “got through” or “skimmed,” but actually finished a book you enjoyed? When’s the last time you connected with words and pages that became wrinkled and wet from overuse and constant companionship? When was the last time you went from front to back, feeling the binding as it melted away…

worth reading :)
Why was Snow White given a poisoned apple? - to show us that not everyone is gonna be kind & not everyone is really who they say they are. Why did Cinderella run away at midnight? - to remind us that everything does have its limitations, even dreams. Why did Ariel exchange her fins for feet? - to show us that people are willing to give up anything to be with who they love & to just be happy. ' Why did Aurora sleep for 100 years? - to tell…

my favourite lines from THE NOTEBOOK
“So it's not gonna be easy. It's going to be really hard; we're gonna have to work at this everyday, but I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, forever, everyday. You and me... everyday.”
― Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook.. <3

LOOKING FOR THE PERFECT WOMAN !!??
One afternoon, A Man and his friend were sitting in a cafe, drinking tea and talking about life and love. His friend asked:
“How come you never married?
”“Well,” said The Man “to tell you the truth,
I spent my youth looking for the perfect woman.
In Cairo I met a beautiful and intelligent woman, but she was unkind. Then in Baghdad, I met a woman who was a wond…

Two Kinds of Intelligence
There are two kinds of intelligence: one acquired,
as a child in school memorizes facts and concepts
from books and from what the teacher says,
collecting information from the traditional sciences
as well as from the new sciences.
With such intelligence you rise in the world.
You get ranked ahead or behind others
in regard to your competence in retaining
information. You…

What Cannot Be Said - Mirza Ghalib
There's one who took my heart away.
But does she own it? I can't say.
See her as unjust though I may,
Is she a tyrant? I can't say.
She strides a bloodless battlefield
Where there's no battle-axe to wield.
She keeps a wineless banquet-hall
Where there's no bowl to raise at all.
Although she serves wine ceaselessly,
Her fingers bring no cup to me.
Her idol-carving hand is sure,
But you cannot call her…

A Party Of Lovers
Pensive they sit, and roll their languid eyes,
Nibble their toast, and cool their tea with sighs,
Or else forget the purpose of the night,
Forget their tea -- forget their appetite.
See with cross'd arms they sit -- ah! happy crew,
The fire is going out and no one rings
For coals, and therefore no coals Betty brings.
A fly is in the milk-pot -- must he die
By a humane society?
No, no; there Mr.…

Sometimes
Sometimes we need to stop accusing,
Sometimes we need to stop adjusting,
Sometimes we need to leave it to the 'almighty'
To make everything 'alright' !

Fireflies in the garden - Robert frost
Here come real stars to fill the upper skies,
And here on earth come emulating flies,
That though they never equal stars in size,
(And they were never really stars at heart)
Achieve at times a very star-like start.
Only, of course, they can't sustain the part.

Gathering leaves
Spades take up leaves
No better than spoons,
And bags full of leaves
Are light as balloons.
I make a great noise
Of rustling all day
Like rabbit and deer
Running away.
But the mountains I raise
Elude my embrace,
Flowing over my arms
And into my face.
I may load and unload
Again and again
Till I fill the whole shed,
And what have I then?
Next to nothing for weight,
And since they grew… Continue

Acquainted with the Night
I have been one acquainted with the night.
I have walked out in rain -- and back in rain.
I have outwalked the furthest city light.
I have looked down the saddest city lane.
I have passed by the watchman on his beat
And dropped my eyes, unwilling to explain.
I have stood still and stopped the sound of feet
When far away an interrupted cry
Came over houses from another street,
But not to call me back or say good-bye;

just a thought !
I was talking to these waves no they were talking to me !
I kept on looking at them planning to take a lil bit of the sea with me.
I invited them with open arms , then came with full vigor and force in no time..
I just felt the touch yes my hands got wet but before I could hold them they bid farewell and went back to where they belonged .. The sea!!

And timing matters !
I normally love the rains , they make me feel fresh, alive they bring back dull gloomy surroundings to life ! I have so many good memories cycling and splashing water on both the sides as a kid, making paper boat and rowing them in the small puddles near my garden, dancing in the rains, long drives, hot Maggie ,friends and so much fun. As a kid I even enjoyed those holidays and half days we occasionally got due to excess down pour but this time this unseasonal rain irritates me, I have started… Continue

Alright, this is not cool at all. A recent survey by Nielsen has revealed that Indian women are the most stressed out in the world: 87% of our women feel stressed out most of the time. This statistic alone has caused me to stress out. Even in workaholic America, only 53% women feel stressed.

रिश्तों की प्रत्यंचा पर सदा संधान लिए रहेता है वह तीर जो स्त्री को उसकी मुस्कुराहट, चूलबलेपन ओर सबसे हिलमिल रहेने की काबिलियत पर गडा जाता है सीने मे !

इसी बहाने मेरे आसपास रहने लगे मैं चाहता हूं कि तू भी उदास रहने लगे
कभी कभी की उदासी भली लगी ऐसी कि हम दीवाने मुसलसल उदास रहने लगे
अज़ीम लोग थे टूटे तो इक वक़ार के साथ किसी से कुछ न कहा बस उदास रहने लगे
तुझे हमारा तबस्सुम उदास करता था तेरी ख़ुशी के लिए हम उदास रहने लगे
उदासी एक इबादत है इश्क़ मज़हब की वो कामयाब हुए जो उदास रहने लगे
कभी कभी की उदासी भली लगी ऐसी कि हम दीवाने मुसलसल उदास रहने लगे
अज़ीम लोग थे टूटे तो इक वक़ार के साथ किसी से कुछ न कहा बस उदास रहने लगे
तुझे हमारा तबस्सुम उदास करता था तेरी ख़ुशी के लिए हम उदास रहने लगे
उदासी एक इबादत है इश्क़ मज़हब की वो कामयाब हुए जो उदास रहने लगे

जला दो गम का लम्हा दिलों से खींचकर
कदम दर कदम और भी ऊँची उड़ान भरो
