At what point do we stop obsessing? Obsessing over clothes, shoes, bags, social media posts/pictures/captions, hair, weight, breakups, relationships (past present & future), bitchy friends, crazy boss, unfulfilling job, lonely singlehood, the bond that (pretending-to-be-happy) couples call marriage, chaotic family, unmanageable children, someone else’s affair, someone else’s divorce! The list is never ending. Do we ever stop? And if we do stop, do we feel a sense of relief? I doubt we do....

At some point, in life, we all feel the need of having a companion. We all feel the need of being pampered, being loved, being cared for, and being somebody's special someone.
This leads to frustration when you observe that your need is not being fulfilled and everyone around you are finding their companions left, right and center! Its crazy how this whole act makes you question your Self, your worth and your existence. Its crazier when you know you are a hopeless romantic, capable of loving s...

If hearts could speak, 
ever wondered what would they speak? 
One might narrate the tale of legendary love,
while the other might sob describing the lost love.
One might share the joy of togetherness,
while the other might silently recall the loss of loved ones.
One might brim with joy describing the newborn's heartbeat,
while the other might narrate the plight of an elderly's nearing death beats.

If the hearts could speak,
they would tell us how beautiful is this language of hearts.
The lang...

Stumbling upon the roads of Life,
Hope found me.
I instantly fell in love with her.
She became my constant companion, especially at times when things or people in my life fell apart.
With her, I've spent countless hours, manifesting the unimaginable in my wakeful dreams.
She always assured me of her trust and belief in my dreams. 
Each time I hugged her tight to -
Bring back a lost love, 
to succeed in my career,
to fulfill my heart & mind's desires,
She patiently hugged me back with equa...

Oh beloved,
Let us embrace each other.
Let us hug each other's worries,
each other's sorrows,
and each other's limitations.
Let all the unease dissolve in our embrace,
for You & I are meant to cross over these boundaries and 
breathe love in its most divine form.

Let us kiss each other's tears and
bid adieu to each other's pain.
Head to head,
Lips to lips,
Toes to toes,
Hands clasped firmly,
Let our Beings get entwined in this loving presence.

Oh beloved,
Let us embrace each other,
for the Universe n...

Once again I find myself closer to you.
Once again I sense your Being in my space, lazying in love.
Who are you? Where are you?
Sometimes I long for these answers
and sometimes, I find myself relishing the loving space of nothingness.
I often find us making love in the realms which are beyond time & space
Because its there that we exist as energies of love and divinity.
I don't know what is the journey forward for You & I
What I do know is that our togetherness is planned by love itself.
It is...

Oh beloved Human,
What is it that you want?

The doing bothers you and the non-doing upsets you.
You cling to fear and wish for love to cling on to you.
You deny your grandeur but become determined to find the greatness outside of you.
The things that you have, which once upon a time was your need,
Now becomes ignorant and consumed by the desire of things that you wish you had! 
What do you want my love?

The joy of laughter,
The rush of rains,
The warmth of sun,
The sound of heartbeat,
The rhythm of...

That feeling! That familiar feeling that either you are letting everything go or everything is going away from you! That feeling of you doing everything to make things right and yet things turning just the way u never wanted them too! That feeling! I have known that feeling and I am sure you know it too. We both have traveled far with this feeling! You and I! We both have seen felt it, fought it, survived through it, only to fall back on it at some point. I know that frustration and I know yo...

In life, we all reach a point where we give up! We lose interest in ourselves and our life and we feel this is it! This is the end and we don’t see any way out from such situations. By now, we have tried everything and we’ve reached a point of exhaustion. We feel so drained that giving another try seems impossible. Almost all of us experience this point of exhaustion and uncertainty. We feel we aren’t doing enough or being enough and we just don’t understand the meaning of our existence. It i...

I am not what you see Me to be!
My being keeps changing with each breath.
Sometimes, I understand Me more than anyone else.
And sometimes, I have difficulty relating to the same Me.
What I am to you is not what I am to Me.
I've figured out what I am to you,
Now, I am on a voyage to determine what I am to Me.
