A Poem on Persistence

May 22, 2017 by Feelings and Freedom

There is a Hindi poem that is close to my heart since my childhood. Recently, it got reiterated when I was making my son recite the same as part of his school assignment. I realized that the poem is so amazingly powerful that it was valid ages ago and it holds true even now. It … Read more

Show the World You Can

Courage is a rare trait Foster it with care Life is not so straight Do have the nerve to dare! Earth is crammed with vile With masters of treason Patrons turn hostile In minutes, for no reason Mighty cherishes glory Manipulates feeble and decrepit To lead the dominance story Albeit … Read more

Follow your Dreams

December 1, 2016 by Feelings and Freedom

Dreams are the foundation and hope for our desired fate. They are a purpose of survival for many. But procrastination can squash your dreams. Dreaming big, in itself, is not a stupendous act. Most of us do it all the time. But to have the audacity, perseverance and fortitude to convert your vision into reality, … Read more

Introspection: Let’s Know Ourselves Better

September 19, 2016 by Feelings and Freedom

Every human being, habitually or unintentionally, is quite possessive about his own self. This is evident from the amount of time one allocates to selecting own food or clothing or in maintaining health, career or relationships as well as on pursuing hobbies or passion. Not implying that this is a negative trait of any … Read more

An end or a beginning

October 31, 2022April 28, 2016 by Vandana Bhasin

It was a beautiful sunny morning in Berlin. Colorful flowerbeds and chirping of birds added to the picturesqueness of the city.

Sharon was an admirer of nature. But the bright sun was particularly annoying today. She was getting infuriated at every little thing. Even the extra sweetness of her coffee was enough to provoke her. The washing machine had over-flown twice and once she had even forgotten to measure the detergent but she didn’t seem to care. She paced across the balcony with an envelope in her hand.

Dreams….

Dreams…

A figment of imagination or an endeavor to reality,

A desire insatiable or a journey of irrationality,

A courageous act or a proclaim to end brutality,

A vision implausible or a life full of morality!

Limerick Challenge Week 15: Dark

November 21, 2022April 14, 2016 by Vandana Bhasin

This post is in response to the Limerick Challenge Week 15 hosted by @mindandlifematters. Another failure saddened her, tore her apart, But she was the owner of a brave heart, She knew it was dark, There was no spark, Yet she held her head high to make a restart!

Optimism

October 31, 2022April 8, 2016 by Vandana Bhasin

I saw a man learning to drive,

With just one leg, he had to strive,

He never gave up, he yearned to thrive,

He never lost hope, he wished to survive,

That’s optimism, that’s being alive.

Friends…

When you are feeling sad and low,

And your hopes have got a blow,

When your mind is gripped with fear,

And your eyes are filled with tears,

When your world seems to end,

All the roads have a bend,

There’s nothing YOU can mend,

All you need is a friend!!!

Life

October 31, 2022March 15, 2016 by Vandana Bhasin

“What is life?” Ah! I wondered,

“An ocean of problems with pearls of happiness?”

Life is fun to some, but pain to others,

Life is fair to some, no gain to others.

Life is a struggle, Life is hope,

Life is to dream, Life is to cope.

Life is a roller coaster, Life is a game,

Life is courage to take the blame.
