My Inspiration for Writing

September 26, 2021

A friend of mine asked me one day, "What is your inspiration behind writing? From where do you get that patience to sit and write?"
At first, I was speechless. I didn't know what to say or how to describe my inspiration. I guess, the answer to this question is easier to write than to tell. So, here is the answer.

A few years ago, I started writing out of a spark, a sudden inspiration which motivated me to pen down a couple of shayaris like most of the people. No, it was not a heartbreak or a breakup. Please, let's stop this Orthodox opinion that only "Devdas" people can write shayaris. Happy people also write. And I believe, I am a living example of it.

The Complete Story

August 14, 2021

It was 5th April, 2021 when finally, I brought her to my home. She looked beautiful. It's been 12 years since I longed to bring her home. Determined this time, I bought a cycle.
My childhood would have been incomplete without riding a cycle.

All the games, we used to play, 'traffic-traffic', 'chor-police' and the fake paper licence we made to act like a grown up are some golden memories imprinted in my heart forever.I had a yellow-colored cycle with a basket at front and colourful wheels.That time, black tyred cycles were for grown-ups only. I was confined to riding in my society and not go out because of potential dangers.

Guest in Lockdown

July 09, 2021

In India, we always abide by the saying, “Atithi devo bhava” which means “Guest is God”. We love having guest at our home, prepare so many dishes, have quality time together. It gives us break from our daily routine and strengthens our bond with our relatives and friends who come as our guest.
As everything came to halt during lockdown, so did guest. With deadly virus revolving all around the world, meeting someone outside your home became a nightmare. Forget about guest! Confined under four walls of home and not being able to meet anyone definitely took a toll on mental health. I too, sometimes felt gloomy and restless. I call it lockdown side-effects.
