… naming or thinking about only one person would be an injustice to the numerous people who came in my life for only a brief moment, days, months or years.

Considering that I have been blessed with great, good, humble, arrogant, ambitious, pompous, cocky, intellects, simpletons… and the list goes on. Everyone has had a positive impact on me.

I believe there is always someting to take away from anyone and/or anything. Even in adversity, there is opportunity!

Living in the moment [Poem]

In the tapestry of life, I am here,

With the present moment, I hold dear.

No worries of tomorrow, no yesterday’s strife,

Just the beauty of now, in vibrant life.

The sun’s golden rays kiss my skin,

As I breathe in the air, alive and thin.

The whispers of trees, a soothing sound,

In this moment, true peace is found.

No need to rush, no need to fret,

Living in the moment, I won’t forget.

Cheers to another new year [Essay]

As the year 2022 comes to an end, I feel that I have one less year in my life. So far I have had a great run, and I am ever so grateful for that. On the flip side I also believe that how so many hours, days and /or years are left for me will definitely be on a high which I have not experienced yet. The best is yet to come!

2022 was our first full year of living in #Montreal #Quebec #Canada and it has been wonderful. First ever experience of how six/seven months of the year are so looked forward to when there is no fear of slipping or being #frozen. Makes me realize more that how much appreciation i have for every season.

Winters are no doubt a challenge but we are slowly learning how to go about our daily lives as normal like the people who have been living this every year since they remember. They might have the same challenges if they lived in the countries we have lived prior to Canada.

If everything remained the same, how would we appreciate #beauty #nature #countries #culture #economies #wayofliving. Things and situations should keep changing otherwise humans and everything around us will get rusted. I love thé routine in many things but I will be more depressed if things didn’t change once in a while. These changes help me confirm that I am still sane and can use my brain to work my way around the circumstances.

We are #Homosapiens we are bound to adapt, live, reach beyond from where we are.

If not then any year, day or hour could be your last. Your choice!

Cheers to #life, goodbye to the year which was and welcome the year which would be.

My Friend [Poem]

Blue Mountains Botanical Garden, Sydney, NSW

I have become an adult
But I have a child inside me
I had a friend
Who was always besides me

I think I have grown old
But I have a yearning to be bold
I had a friend
Who always used to buck me

I think I have forgotten thee
But I have those memories
I had a friend
Who can never be replaced

I want to be happy
But I have been happier
I had a friend
Who always made it merrier

I want to be different
But I am afraid of change
I had a friend
Who accepted me as I am

I wanted to go long
But I was afraid to be short
I had a friend
Who had faith in me

I believe I have everything
But I have one lost feeling
I had a friend
Who was always with me

I wanted to be loved
But I was always resented
I had a friend
Who was always there to love me

I knew I had a twin
But I only found me alone
I had a friend
Who was always my shadow
