Reading Wrap-Up 2017

With only a week left for the new year, I thought of wrapping up 2017 by listing some popular pieces which are my favourites too (in no particular order). Click on the titles to read them.

• Always

“I’ll always be there with you”, a promise made to a dear friend because it is hard to find true friendship. But I am lucky to have found one.

• खुवाहिश

A short piece in Hindi. A yearning for something that was lost long back.

• Mysterious

People have many faces.  They are different with different people. This poem talks about a mysterious face.

• Run

I started a series of writings called Mulakaatein in June. These are accounts of meetings with some random and not-so-random souls who have made a change in my life. I decided to pen them down because I couldn’t afford to keep them in my memory to let them fade away with time.

Run is the first Mulakaat. A meeting I had with myself one day. Talking about the busy schedules and running, you will be forced to ask yourself some existential questions.

• Jugalbandi- Alfaazon, Soch aur Jazbaaton ki

This is the third Mulakaat. This post talks about that day of the year when I understood a lot about myself and the society I live in.

• Who is disabled?

This is the nineth Mulakaat with a stranger who made me ask myself the question ,”Who is disabled?”

• A harsh punishment

This is the twelfth Mulakaat. It is an account of the day when I was hurt deeply because I was asked by a mother to beat her child for misbehaving in class.

• An Impact

The tenth Mulakaat. It was the day when I felt that my hardwork actually made an impact in a child’s life.

• Why do you fear to take that step?

Some questions asking you to overcome your fears so that years later you don’t regret that you didn’t take that chance today.

• Blank Sheet

This poem sums up whatever I write. All my blogs are different, yet they are similar in some way as I leave a part of me in my words.

Merry Christmas!

Happy reading!
