Reviving a blog

Just by happenstance I stumbled upon my old blog through my google account. How blogging has changed in eighteen years! indeed how the world has changed in eighteen years. So much has changed in my life, I have changed in so many ways. I have changed my city, country, continent. I got married. I adulted. I got a job. I left a job. Then I got another job.....you get the idea. My preferrered social platforms changed. Starting with Facebook which was so exicitng in the early days that I abandoned my blog and lived on FB for a bit. Never really caught on to Twitter though. Amidst house buying, playing bills, yearly holidays and family life, I also got tired of FB at some point and went more on Instagram. Never quite got into TikTok either... Anyhoo.....here we are, reviving an old blog. Fortuituous timing perhaps as I am building my bookstagram account @books_in_cosmos and also delving back into my OG passion for writing. I have done two creative writing courses and my mind these days is a hive of ideas and words. A veritable tornado of concepts and outlines for novels. So watch this space. Maybe I will use this blog to do book reviews and post new work.

lifehouse...

old poem...

i wrote this poem ages ago....but i still love it...it's simple and straightforward...maybe tht's y...it's a good thing i had a soft copy of it...coz i am afraid all my poems and stories have been lost in oblivion during the current house-shifting frenzy...

I can!
I can walk on a rainbow,
And melt in the rain.
I can catch a shooting star
In the twinkle of my eye.
I can steal the colors of a wild butterfly
And I can stop spring in its track!
I can be lost in a sunset
And be found in the jungle.
I can even tame the wildest of dreams!
I can trap the sun in a jar
And hold the mountains on my palm.
I can kiss the rising Sun
And cast a spell on the moon.
I can dance with the angels
And fly with the birds.
But I can’t…
I can’t make you love me!!!

flower...

It's funny : the kind of things u stumble upon while rummaging through old, forgotten diaries...and how those scribbles can remind you of a particular event, or time, or person....


when i am gone
remember me
like a flower;
remember the fragrance
but dont remember
the thorns

new poetry...

The sailing ship on the horizon
Swayed you away from me
The crazy winds of August
Blew you away like an old leaf
I had found you in pouring rain
And I lost you in a sea of pain
You and I were ‘We’ in that split second
Before the thunder struck
