Love in the time of Letters

 Every dip of the quill

Flows directly from the heart

Driven by the yearning

For just a look 

Lingering stares across the crowd

And nothing more

Lips remains sealed while

The eyes speak a million words

Looking for a place less suspicious

Living for the gentle stroke 

While the letter change hands 

Hurrying to leave before

They were found to be lost

Hearing the beloved's voice in the head

As the eyes sees the words 

Grinning from ear to ear 

As eyes fill with joyful tears 

Reading it over and over again 

Till it is by heart

That parchment there is the lifeline

Until next time.

He does not want a Perfectionist.

The time has come to revive the undead... Well, HELLO! There is a high chance that nobody remembers this blog (even I have forgotten, lol). I have been wanting to start blogging again for quite some time now- like the hundred other things I have been  wanting  to do. However, something I came across - which I will share in later blogs - gave me the prompt to put my thoughts into action.  In a time of reflection this morning, I was pondering what went wrong along the way. I used to be able to do things. I used to get work done, but now all I do is cut a sorry figure for myself and self-loathing.

What seemed like a good habit initially became the very thing that started pulling me down. At first, it made me more conscious of what happens if the things that I drive do not reach a good place. Then Procrastination joined the ride, along with Self-doubt, wh...

Consistency is Key!

If there is anything that will take you places that you wanna reach in life, it's nothing but consistency. Expecting overnight results is making a fool of oneself. Continuous effort is what yields the fruit of labour. If you act like a monkey for ten years, you will be a damn good monkey by the end of it(not asking you'll to act like a monkey lol) .   It is the same with anything in life. If you wanna be a guitarist, play the guitar every day. Even if it is for just a few minutes, do it regularly. As days pass you will see a progressive change in your music than when you started playing it.   If you wanna be a writer, write every day. Be it a page or a phrase, do it without a break every day. As days pass you will have started thinking more than you did when you initially began and you will see a visible change in your style of writing. If you wanna build your muscles, exercise regularly. The muscles are not gonna pop in a day. It requires continuous work. If you wanna lose/ g...

... meant and not said, most love is lost.

"You gotta talk it out" "Communication is key" I know blah.. blah Those are things that are easier said than done. But since people keep saying it, shouldn't there be some truth to it though? According to a recent study, 67.5% divorces primarily occur due to poor communication. What's the point of being in love with someone if you don't tell them? People are not mind readers. They need to hear it. Humans need reassurance. "Between what is said and not meant, and meant but not said, most love is lost"                                                                                                                   - Khalil Gibran   Showing your lov...
