The sky is pouring out its heart, And the wind howls in response. The branches bend, as if feeling her pain. It starts with a lonely dance, and then rocks and shakes. “Bend, bend, let it pass”, says the whispers. “Bend, bend, don’t fight”, again and again. Outside the boundaries it’s turmoil. And yet peaceContinue reading “Of Nature and Storm”

Random thoughts beginning…. I realise that what this quarantine has forced us to do is to recognize once again what is truly valuable in life – family. Initially, we were forced into it – forced to stay at home, forced to eat meals with family, forced to talk to each other. But as the daysContinue reading “Forced”

I made a choice to ride UBE express. In my defense, it was the only choice at that time. And I thought it’ll be fast. But as I see the adjacent van get filled up right away, I got the desire to jump out of the shuttle and into the van. But I already madeContinue reading “On making choices”

I have not been waking up well this week. I didn’t even wake up to my alarm today. I have been feeling sluggish and tired early on. And sleepy too (a lot)! My first impulse is to know why. I was on a roll the past few weeks with my early meditation cum yoga cumContinue reading “Tuning In”

I feel lazy to move or think or talk. I feel the need to be quiet and just stay still. I feel the needContinue reading “For a friend”

I did something. Something that should have required thorough thinking. But I gave in to what the heart says. I weighed in some things but didn’t let myself overthink, lest I never do it at all. I did it, without thinking what if it becomes true. I told myself, one at a time. Think aboutContinue reading “Reckless or Brave”

I’m afraid of the future. I’m afraid to be in 2030. I’m afraid to see and feel Mother Nature’s whip. I know it’ll hurt. I’m afraid for my kids. I’m afraid of the world they will grow up in. I’m afraid that we don’t do enough to revert the problem. I’m afraid that no oneContinue reading “I’m afraid, really”

It’s like I woke up from a long fairytale nap. I used to be super invested in the environment but placed that on the side when I got married and had kids. Then, without plans, Greta Thunberg woke me up from the long, blissful life. I was just routinely checking my Flipboard page and sawContinue reading “Woke”
