Summers are going on and this summer is very special to me for many reasons. But as I think more about it, I realize that every moment has been and should have been special to me. Then why I say 'this' summer is special? Am I confusing you? I know. You have all rights to be confused. Because, I am talking to you from a space that is very different.

सच का सामना - #hindi #poem

विचलित क्यों होते हो 

आईना दिखाने पे ?

सच को मान भी जाओ 

मेरे सच समझाने से

Moments - #Poem

Celebrating Love on valentines day is exciting but it is each moment of our life that goes by where love needs to be celebrated. As I look around, I see so many blessings. Sure there is evil, but I can't help noticing the goodness that silently, sheepishly is hidden everywhere.

How visiting Taj Kovalam can mark your heart forever

Kerala - again, but why?

There is a reason Kerala is known as God's own country. A land bestowed with the true bliss of nature - be it mountains, or forests or ocean - Kerala has it all. So when the days get dreary and living is a treachery, to provide the balm of nature's bounty to soothe our aching nerves we invariably end up heading towards Kerala.

'Tis the Magic Of Warmth

Motherhood makes a woman much mature. Once you go through the process of delivering a child, you feel you have been given a second life. Oh yes, I have been there now twice.

To my readers, thank you for visiting Soulful..

The lazy day of Saturday has brought moment of ecstasy for me. I opened to check one of my posts and happened to see the visits counter and chuckled. You see it yourself here :D

Pawns in a Game

Lot many of my friends know me as an introvert and yet there are few good ones (ahm ahm the lucky ones) who know me in quite the opposite way. But in my limited interaction with people, I have always realized
