milk and honey


 'what is stronger
than the human heart
which shatters over and over
and still lives'

Rupi Kaur became my saviour about two years ago and I hope you get your share of strength too.

Afterall what's better than ending a Sunday with her poetry!

Fun fact: Do you know why she has written the book in small letters?

There's a beautiful story behind it. And in short, she is a Sikh from India who migrated to Canada. As an honour to her culture, she followed her traditional language script.

A message to the reader: bloom✨

rupi kaur in her book 'milk and honey' dedicated a poem to you all. It touched me. And I present it to you.

Remember you just need to bloom🌻

My interpretation:

When it's painful and uncomfortable,
When it doesn't go your way nor it seems to,
Stay strong! Stay strong and make it the foundation for the roots of flowers that are waiting to bloom.

You have given me the opportunity to express and blossom my flower and I tell you the secret: you just need to bloom in your own way; beautifully, loudly, dangerously or softly, just bloom.

Happy reading!

We think anger is wrong whereas it is of 2 types: C onstructive and D estructive. Do we really need anger? Short answers: In career, yes. In relationship, maybe not. We need some kind of anger with problems to find solutions. Otherwise you must have heard about 'chalta hai' attitude in India. Compromise and adjustment: these doesn't need anger. We ignore our problems and our situation gets worse. It is called escapism. Escaping anger with the help of distractions can...

Change

C hanges are good. It teaches you something new. But the catch is: you may not like it. In fact, it's not easy. It needs rewiring of brain cells that further requires personal effort.  Wouldn't it be better if we keep growing? Picture of the month: A few days back I left my home and went on a journey to an unknown destination. Took a train, reached a village and the rest is one of a memorable experience. It sounds naive, but sometimes you have to do what you have to do and it has no explanation. (Do it cautiously though). Personal Rambling: It kind of makes me sad to say that this is the final newsletter. I am so grateful to you for sticking with me and watching me go crazy with words and photos and whatnot. This small initiative was my way of expressing myself and talking/writing to people. Your replies and thoughts and support meant the world to me. Thank you ♡ I have grown in this while and changed as a person for the good—still a work in progress but more disciplined than b...
