What do you understand by the word “Love”? No, this is not a unicorn and rainbows blog I promise. It isn’t about some alpha who’ll land on earth just to sweep you off your feet, no no! If you’re expecting some advice from this post, I request you to immediately close this post and throw it out of your memory for good. This is just a perspective and nothing more. Love, the word means different for different people. For some, it’s just having someone who cares, for some it finds its way through friends and family, for some it’s having a coffee by the balcony, for some it finds its shelter throu ..read more

When death comes knocking down my door Will I ask for it to wait one life more so I can fulfill all my dreams Or will I go hand in hand smiling with glee having famished all the time and resources that I had at hand Will I be greedy for more Or will I be grateful for the life’s abundant store Will I have wasted my life thinking about tomorrow’s and yesterday’s Or will I have worked hard and pushed past my mistakes Will I tell it to give me one day more so that I can postpone what I have to do, to tomorrow Or will I have made the choice to fight each day as a brave inspiring warrior That’s a c ..read more

Moving from one branch to another Aren’t we the greatest monkeys of all time Chasing Happiness in jobs, money and people Why is it so hard to stay and breathe Smiles on faces have stuck like filters on our pictures Why can’t we be #unfilteredme all the time Why do we try to hide our flaws, our mistakes in layers of self doubt and mishap Where we could just let go and improve the chaos We are social in a sense but lonely within What has become of us within all these fears We’ve cocooned ourselves in layers of what ifs Why did we all of a sudden forget to live It takes all my courage to write a ..read more

Haven’t you been at a place in your life where you wanted to achieve something but you couldn’t make yourself do it? Be it getting fitter or cracking an exam or just waking up early. You started with lots of determination, watched all the videos on what to do, how to do , were able to achieve much more than your targets in the initial days but as days went by, so did the motivation go down and so did the striking of the to-dos. You might be thinking, I tried hard but maybe I can’t do it, maybe it’s just not my cup of tea, I did everything I could maybe someone up above doesn’t want me to reac ..read more

As I peeped through the window to let the raindrops get to my soul, the adult in me told me to shut it off. When I wanted to jump and splash in the muddy water, hold on you might catch some disease it said. When I wanted to dance in the rain, my hands came up to protect me from the rain or the child within, I wonder. When I felt like making some tiny boats to let my worries flow, are you crazy screeched the voice in my head. When I watched small kids playing without a worry on their faces, a smile adorning their innocent faces, I wanted to become one of them and live again. When the droplets ..read more

When everything seems dark, Try lighting a match or two. When everything seems dark, Try lighting that fire inside igniting the souls beside. When everything seems dark, Take the help of the fire approaching you from a distance. When everything seems dark, Try clanking the stones you have as hard as you can. When everything seems dark, Try to find a way outside of it. When everything seems dark, Try the hardest to walk out of that cave. When everything seems dark, Let the fire in your eyes extinguish it. Alas, when everything seems dark, Believe that there’s light around and within and it wil ..read more

Such an absurd title, isn’t it? To become? To become what, a millionaire, a singer, a computer, eh we didn’t get it. All the questions in your mind are valid. We all want to become something, something which will earn us praises, give us respect, satisfy our ego and give us happiness, no wonder the youtube videos with quick get rich schemes, losing fat without working out have millions of views on them. We all dream of the ideal world, the ideal life, we think we’ll be happy when my life is a certain way, the people around me behave a certain way, I get success overnight and everyone loves me ..read more

Note : For those who haven’t read part 1 here’s the link: https://breathliveinspire.wordpress.com/2021/07/31/the-escapade-part-i/ To say Lilly Brown was shocked would be an understatement. Her eyes widened in shock, her hands turned clammy, she didn’t know how to deal with this situation, she didn’t want the kids to get hurt but neither did she want them to go with the Woods. Ms. Brown pleaded, “Please leave the kids, I’ll give you as much money as you want, take me with you but leave them alone”. Robert or the fake Mr.Woods started laughing loudly, ” The one who asks for donation is claiming ..read more

Swirling the pen in her hand, Ms. Brown brought her attention to the notebook in front of her. She fixed the spectacles on her nose as they slid down more often than not. The numbers on the book did nothing to ease the pain in her head, instead caused her forehead to crease even more making her look much older than she actually was. Rubbing her temples she looked at the book again trying to figure out a way to cut down on the expenses so that she could at least save some money. It was not even the month-end and she was already short of money, how was she going to manage the rest of the days ..read more

Remember that one time you chose to fight even though your chance at winning was meager, remember those nights you cried yourself to sleep, remember those dark looming question marks hunting you down? Everyone is fighting a battle, each a character of its own. God has made us so strong and sometimes it doesn’t feel like it, it doesn’t show but he gives us the strength to fight through any situation, big or small. Those dark nights, those dreadful days, those question marks will fade away one day, you just have to hold on, wait, stay there, hang in there. It’s more of a mental effort than physi ..read more
