Reading Is Bliss

Life is a maze of unending obstacles. One has no option but to keep dealing with the daily humdrum of life without so much as a break. More than often, there is an urge inside each one of us to just leave everything and live in a new world. Though that is not actually possible but there sure is a way out, a temporary refuge filled with thrills and wisdom. And that world, my friends, is found in Books.

Books have the power to immediately teleport you into a completely new setting, living the life of another person. It is you who gets to choose what kind of surroundings you want to enter. Whether you enjoy romance or have a fascination towards suspense and thrillers or history or anything in the world. All you have to do is pick up a book and start reading through the pages and within no time, you’d be there- experiencing a whole new adventurejust like a reality. A lot of people consider reading books as a boring activity whereas in truth, it is the most entertaining and beneficial habit a person can acquire. It lets you forget your problems and anything else without much hassle and replenishes your energy to tackle situations.


Someone once said, “If you don’t like reading, it’s probably because you haven’t found the right book yet.”  If you don’t trust me, give it a try. Take any book which matches your interests. It can be a love story or a murder mystery or something motivational or anything else. If you don’t know what to start with, ask someone who reads to help you select something. Once you’ve found it, start reading. Begin slowly with maybe 3-5 pages a day and keep increasing and before you know it, you’ll be reading 100 pages a day. It may be hard to concentrate in the initial period but don’t give up. It’s totally worth the effort. Books will become your best friends, eager to share the most charming tales.

Protection or Prison

  Under the guise of safety  We keep our doors closed Merely imagining the world beyond We accept to be forever entombed What we fail to recognize Is that we are our own prison Limiting our own powers We have given up our own freedom What started as protection Has now become a jail That which we are so afraid to break out of That which has become our excuse to fail   The reality is not what we believe Rather, we can actually take charge Change the direction our destiny takes And break free from the tower so large -Tamrina

Ten Years

There is an interesting thing we all like to do in our life and that is commemorate dates. Whether it is birthdays, anniversaries, he or she day we met someone for the first time but also, the day we lost someone dear to us. On the one end, the remembrance gives us joy and a chance to celebrate and on the other, they are an opportunity to think about that special person, often through teas and wonder, if things could have been different. As humans, it is our nature to assign meaning to things; whether it is the changing of seasons, that breaking of a glass or even, our own suffering. Why do we do that? It is to find some sense of order in this chaos of a world. Similarly, attaching that special meaning to some days gives us a break from the mundane. It allows us to take a breather from everyday routines and shuffle things up a little bit. I once read somewhere that grief is the love we feel for someone once they are gone and maybe this is why we remember them extra on particular da...

We Win Some, We Lose Some and We Snooze Some

A while back, a close friend had told me that my life would always be interesting because I have a passion and a dream to fulfil it, which translates to me always having something to fight for. This statement has stuck with me, especially in my low times because it is very true. When things get tough, I think about the destination I have set for myself and it gives me the strength to overcome the obstacles in my path. Something that I have come to realize very recently though is irrespective of the journey a person chooses to embark in life, there are many battles that each of us has to fight. And despite our best efforts, we win some, we lose some and we snooze some. Now the first two is pretty self-explanatory and the reality of life and circumstances but the third option is what I wish to share with you today. For some people, life is a constant uphill battle; it could be due to a social disadvantage, financial challenges, belonging to a marginalized group, intrapersonal struggles,...
