Rise and shine

21st November 2017 to 21st November 2019

2 years' stay in Karlsruhe completed!

How were these two years?

कितना बदल गया इंसान

निकलते तो हैं 

साथ ही एक राह पर

कोई आगे निकल जाते हैं

कोई पिछे छूटकर

एक ही घर में रहकर भी

मूलाकात नहीं होती

काम में इतने डूब गए अब की

आंखों से आंखों की बात नहीं होती

लेपटोप, मोबाइल बन गए हैं

अब अच्छे साथी

इन्सान की इन्सान से

अब जान पहचान ही नहीं होती

कुछ दिनों में शायद

हम बोलना भूल जाएंगे

यंत्रों से बातें करते करते

जिना भूल जाएंगे

तब आएगी याद साथी की

और

इन्सान को इन्सान की किमत

तब ही पता चलेगी

Blog Marathon - Post 31 - Blog Marathon completed!

It's the last day of my blog marathon.

31 days and 31 posts!

I believe it's a personal achievement. I could write on all 31 days as it was a self-imposed discipline. The topics varied from movies, books, T's routine, Hindi poems, seasons, festivals, and whatnot. I usually got the motivation to write from my daily routine life. It's essential to be mindful of what's happening around you. Life throws many impulses at you. It's up to you how you interpret and make use of that impulse. The sun rises and sets daily, but it's up to you to make it beautiful or ugly. One should live each day with zest and energy as if it is the last day on the earth!

Thank you, Ajita, Tejaswini, and my parents, who were literally subjected to read all my blog posts! Thanks to Anju Mavshi, Yashaswini, Anuradha, chb (I still don't know your name!), Anagha Mahajan, who read and commented on a few posts. Also, thanks to all others who stopped by to read a post or two here and there. Thanks to all who commented and even to those who couldn't.

I will be back with a blog marathon in February now. I will definitely write regularly until then. It's my outlet, it's my expression and my space where I am not judged. It's my canvas to fill colors the way I want. I am a free bird here!

So here's wishing you all an enjoyable weekend from cold and rainy Karlsruhe.

Keep dreaming, keep believing, and keep motivating!
