I read somewhere, “Nothing should live that isn’t a labour of great, great love.” But seriously, if nothing should live that isn’t a labour of great love, how come the people and things that are, sometimes vanish into the mist of time? It’s nothing you haven’t contemplated before. There ought to be some place beyond, a […]

Just A Story..
A story is just that a story.. That story you dwell in? It is just a shell of words Shielding you not from pain but life You live that story and soon it begins to live you pausing the flow of ‘yes’ stopping you where it stopped Today..let the story go and begin yourself anew.
Maybe Tomorrow..
Cry a little, let those tears flow Laugh out aloud and let the candles blow Maybe, tomorrow the sun will be shining So float on your cloud with the silver lining Maybe tomorrow, the doors will open or maybe the doors will close Maybe tomorrow for nobody knows For you know it’s going to […]
Listen..
When you are silent inside, you have very little to say outside too. Have you wondered why the world is so noisy? Because behind the noise, there is silence that makes it possible for us to hear it all. Can you tune everything out and listen? Try. ** Reema Prasanna is a baking coach, […]
When Fancy Fled..
King of the concrete jungle, almost Juan-like in his persistence but hung heavy Amidst the smog of life. Awaiting a momentary escape to a long gone image of the green, green grass of leisure And the time to peer through fluffy clouds of mountain skies. Embroiled in the heated wars, Raging bigger and more frightful […]
The Boxes Within..
Boxes strike terror in my heart, the ones crammed with books and papers in particular. I will procrastinate sorting them until pushed to the wall. It is not that I am lazy or disorganized; I am just scared of hurting. And so the black containers sit scratchy and sore like corns on the toes, darkly […]
Indifference..
A hospital never sleeps.. it’s a wonder anyone gets well here… there is no rest… constant comings and goings and creaking of beds, bodies turning in pain, discomfort, desperation. The city twinkles away below.. indifferent. ** Mona Ambegaonkar accidentally strayed into the entertainment industry and has been a model, editor, documentary producer and director, […]
Lingering..
Soft soft was her advent today Her touch so gentle, almost Apologetic. She smiled through The sun’s rays, lifting curtains Quietly. The lingering spray, Cleared up the mental mist Of confusion and tiredness. I danced to work – the last Few Days are yet to be lived In this unexplored person’s Skin – scenes […]
A Life Skill Called Love
“There is a sacred space between mindless surrender and cold logic.. I will meet you there. But wait, first I will meet myself. Because without me, there cannot be… you. “ ** My take on Rumi and on his absolutely intoxicating philosophy of love that dissolves the walls of the self in the other and […]
What Is Freedom?
Freedom. That ‘apparently’ ever elusive feeling that many of us are after. All our lives we think, feel or believe that someone or something is constantly taking it away or keeping it away from us. That it is controlled externally, and we have to fight for it. Usually, it is our parents who we blame […]
To Life..
Say it. when the shining silence smiles when all fits all is at peace all swims flows sings dances is one with everything ** Give that joy back to the world to all of life just say simply clearly I love. I love. I. Love.
Again..
Fear is the outer layer that sheath we cower under hiding our scars living half lives afraid of anything that comes too close.. sunlight thorns rain laughter pain ** Afraid, we will lose our way if we let go of all that we know and recognise and cling to ** We watch life through half-shut […]
