Pull yourself away
from negativity
Surround yourself
with loving, positive thoughts
While you ride the tides of life,
Love yourself like you would that lover of yours
who left you at the
downtown bridge,
saying he would come and
whisk you away
from this sordid world
but never did.
And you waited anyway…
hoping where even hope would hang it’s head in shame.
For all you need is you.
And You.

When a thought is created,
It leaves an impact fated.
The heart follows as mandated,
Emotions are then generated.
Based on those feelings,
Behavioural pattern changes.
Between bleeding and healing,
This mortal outrage ranges.
I wish I could lock away,
My tremulous mind, for once.
And let not these monsters sway
my bliss of a thousand defiant suns.

Book : Yours Legally
Author : Sonia Sahijwani
Rating : 4.5/ 5
Yours legally is a collection of six short stories, comprising of 110 pages, with background being the life of protagonist Sia and courtroom drama.
As the author is a lawyer, she has beautifully managed to capture the courtroom essence, and has weaved true incidents with fiction ,and poignantly knotted them into stories.
Though I loved all the six stories, my favourite is , ‘The kid on the last bench’. Each story is different and is well penned. The Author has done a really good job with the storytelling.
The narration is impressive. I loved the book cover and the book title is perfect.
I will definitely recommend this book to everyone.

Book : Devoid of duality
Author : Tanmay kumar
Rating : 4.5/5
Devoid of duality is a self help book that explores meditation techniques, mindfulness and spiritual awareness.
From the stillness between the inhale and exhale, to the moment of death which is the most intense one, this book explains a lot.
I learnt about observing silence, peaceful stillness after each heartbeat, being concious and fully aware of whatever we do, inner peace, that life is dynamic and death means absolute pause, The self is eternally peaceful and devoid of duality , always at stillness.
This book is written in the form of quotes and every quote has a deep hidden meaning and gave a lot to ponder over.
I am rating this 4.5/5. This book is a gem and had a calming effect on me. I would definitely recommend this book to everyone.
The book was provided by the author for review purpose but that doesn’t affect my review.
Dear Mommy,
Thank you for giving me life. Thank you for giving me love. Thank you for all the sacrifices you made so that we could lead a better life.
When I look at you, all I feel is immense gratitude and love. You were only thirty years old when you lost your parents, and you made us, your children, your entire world. You lived for us.
For me , you are the best mother Let nobody tell you otherwise. May be it was not the best, but you definitely did the best you could and even more. And for that, I will be grateful to you forever .
There is so much I can learn from you – to fight against all odds and survive, to be a boss lady, to be a perfectionist. You are my Jhansi ki Rani.
I may not say this often, but I want you to know I love you the most and no one can ever take your place in my life.
Do you remember this picture? I was one year old then, and today I am thirty. How time flies by, but my love for you will always remain 💕 Happy Birthday 🎉🎉
I love you – I am nothing without you.
My dear readers, It’s my mommy’s birthday today, 21st April ! Do send in all your love and wishes by dropping in your comments. Thank you everyone for subscribing to my blog and reading it. I can’t thank you enough. It’s your love and feedback that keeps me motivated to write more. Thank you 🙂
Beauty is not when you look your best,
Beauty is when you give your best,
Your success and physical appearance may fade,
But your inner beauty shines through the facade,
Beauty is a reflection of your soul,
Compassion and benevolence makes it whole.
Inner beauty enthrals and charms,
It has a unique character ; More than its presence, it’s absence is felt.
