Searching for my identity,
I entered a maze,
Facing inexorable twists and turns,
Lost in the "Who am I?" riddle,
Exploring different choices,
I pray to find my answer one fine day.

May

The month of Mental Health Awareness came to an end last week. Putting your alarm on snooze after this? Please don't. This is a movement with a global welfare perspective and it needs your support to grow. The awareness campaigns on mental health and mental illnesses by various organisations both on and off social media reached out to a section of the population which is great but reaching out to every human being is the larger objective.

Awestruck

The dark night smiles for you, Your eyes light up its world. It enjoys your company, Those adorable self talks, The way you visit your dream, Life then seems to have a perfect theme.

My dwindling interest in you which blew out in the dead of the night or my growing temptation to explore the next marvelous beauty I've been trying to understand for months? Just as I couldn't take my mind off you, I feel drawn to it too. The only difference is I left you without giving you a closure and I have nearly been ungrateful. The silver nib dragged you to the edge of the cliff and pushed you to a baffling end on my command. To make you feel slightly better, I choose to disclose to you that I put many before you at rest to make space for the new ones. I run out of peace by some deaths because they were dear to me and I also cold-heartedly leave many like you to decay. I shall pay you a visit sometime if you wish. Afte...
