Imagine walking into office and seeing that someone left a nice note at your desk.  Smiling? Now imagine someone sending you a letter: a handwritten epistle of anything from a "thank you" in a little more word, to, "hey, have a good day?", or, "I have been meaning to tell you years have passed by, but you are still on my mind, and I think you will be there a little over forever". Won’t it make you smile? Won’t it turn your worse mood into a good one? Well, it will make me smile. It will make a difference in my life at that moment. Even when we have all these platforms where we can type to our hearts content, how is it that we never end up writing more than a few lines, sometimes words? Because if I speak for myself, I will love some of that excitement of writing a letter, then the happiness of posting one, and then the delicious anticipation of expecting one. In this age of texts, messages, emails and constant other platforms where we stay in touch and are...

It's the maybes that kill you!

    I read this quote somewhere that said “She finally had the courage to say goodbye to maybes”. And it immediately came into my mind that I have been holding on so many “maybes”. Maybe this is the work I should do, maybe this is the decision I need to take or maybe this is the person I should be with, maybe, maybe, maybe!

I struggle everyday with the issues- work, love, life and in general. Yes, sometimes I just want to run away from it all but then I tell myself that I’m build to last. I realized I am done with the maybes and maybe it’s time to let go off all the maybes.   Maybe it’s time I get out of my own thoughts and stop wondering. Maybe it’s time I just live by myself and find out the answers to all those maybes. I should focus less on maybes, take chances irrespective of the outcome. If I su...

Predictably Unpredictable: Life

We all leave the warmth a nd security of our homes every day whether it is to go to work, college, do errands or visit a friend, with the safe assumption that we’ll returning safely to our house, family and lives at the end of the day. However, the reality is that while we would like to believe that we will always be safe, life does happen and there are people that wake up in the morning, drink a cup of coffee, read the paper, leave the house and never return. People lose their lives every day and the reasons can be many including a sudden heart attack or a tragic car accident. Regardless of the reasons, it is important to remember that life is short and we truly don't know what each day will bring. How often have we left for work without a goodbye or a hug? How often have we left angry and full of resentment refusing to forgive or resolve an issue with someone we truly care about? I guess this is something we can all relate to and have experienced at some point in our live...
