Whispering Willows

All throughout our lives, we are taught to stand up to the expectations and wisdoms people hope us to be having. Avoid turning out to be an out-of-the-box being but stay a mere puppet who lives the standard mediocre life, hesistant towards the probable upcoming destiny-changers.  Life is an ocean. Seeming quiet (soughtable) on the surface but holding infinite number of lessons within. Human souls are the ships that sail over the waters, trying to divert the direction (ship's wheel) in all situations where deviations seem the best option out. On this journey, the waters don't always stay calm. They act on their own tides and send us baskets of unexpected pop-ups. Everything is bottled up in tiny baskets which we come across in the course of our life.  It's not only about the things we have in life, but majorly what we do about them. The orthodox thinking that acts like shackles around our beliefs turns out to be the biggest stone that hinders our journey of life. E...

It does surely take some sprinkle of secret ingredients to come up with a piece of writing such as mine. But is it truly the only one thing that drives me to grab all the 26 letters of english language and make a pot of letters out of it. Or doesn't it. Because lately I've had my close acquaintances suggesting me to publish another one as "it's been super long since I last posted". This isn't going to be like all other posts of a peep into the wisdom world , but just another account of why writing is so precious to me. As a kid I always used to look up at the sky and watch the divine sunrays illuminating the outline of the clouds , and wonder which thing would bring me peace... which work would it be for which I would be known, for which I would be appreciated. But be replied back with silence and curiousity. It did, indeed, took a long time for my answer to get delivered. But as they say,  "even the pebble that you threw in the lake meant to meet the w...

It's a weird place from where I'll be pinning my thoughts down into words, today. Less regarded of the environment which has consumed me, I'm more strong-centered about doing what I love. Write. They say , "the best of things hit you hard on the back of your head", meaning that what's best for you will come your way when you have contributed your best efforts and least expect the rewards. Somewhat familiar incident took place when I once read in The Tribune's article about how many a bunch had persued the idea of writing blogs . Initially the idea of words didn't impress me. And to be honest I can't even recall the moment I fell in love with writing. It's been a beautiful journey since and there was no looking back from the day I first, nervously, penned down my first blog post. Those moments are vividly impressed in my mind just like they happened yesterday. Writing not only blessed me with an improved level of vocabulary but also a better a...

We all have our escapes, which we keep hidden from the world. Things, ways, indulgences which keep us intact with ourselves when everything seems to be pulling us apart. Amongst all the conscious escapes that we keep, the biggest of all still remains overlooked . T. I. M. E. It destroys. It breaks. It makes. It heals. To let it all out we find ways. Ways in which we can dump all our worries and lighten the burden which the time blesses our hearts with. It's such a vast and infinite frame of wisdom, no matter how distinctively we talk about it, some potions of time will still remain undiscovered and uncalled for. In the simplest of explanations, it is the best elixir of life which wraps all the moments and emotions of life in an unmatched wrapping. It captures it all and stays, for us to look back on and reflect. With an ever-changing nature of life, time never stays the same. The universe has so much variety of compounds that no matter how often and how extremely time changes, ...

All our lives we keep living up-to the expectations of others. Making amendments where they are barely needed just because someone prompted us to. Complying with the human nature, the point of view that average humans need a little push (motivation) ,to do well or to excel above average, does hold some ground. But how much is this push? Many a times the push goes a little too far. Depending on the diverse human nature not all are strong headed to be able to rubbish off the useless opinions. No matter how unwanted opinions might be, few people always have some of these up their sleeves and they don't feel slightest of shame in throwing shades over at others...forever ready to point out areas of their life which remain uncoloured and empty. Although most of the times the so-said is rubbished away,  but a part of it always sticks at the back of our minds. Doing away with such thoughts, it isn't the same when we inspect the area that was being held the subject of critique. All we ...
