New Ventures Week

I want to call this week "New Ventures Week" as I am introducing new concepts. After Monday Muse, I thought of writing my own sayings, which will also be lessons for me. Hope this is a good experience for me. And the quote for the day is: Just be yourself and everyone will like you.

Lead (Un)Kindly Light

The light is right above my workstation Light is supposed to be our source of perception. We need light to view the beautiful world around us. Without light we would be doomed into darkness. But what to do when light itself becomes annoying? The light in the picture was recently added and I noticed it the moment it was switched on. One of the reason for noticing it was because it was glaring in my face and there was nothing that I could do about it. There are many things in life that happen around us and most of these are not under our control. We often grumble about it and lose our peace of mind. What if there was another way Like I have been doing, ignoring the light. Of course it is there and of course it is still glaring in my face but I am not letting it ruin my life or work. To some extent it annoys me and I may lose my peace of mind but until then I am going to follow this strategy and test my tolerance level. Hoping that things will change for the better.

Edit: This post was edited after my android phone accidentally published the post without my consent. I have a fondness for small things. Being from a bio background, and having learnt about the cells, which are the smallest units of life, this is inadvertent. However, we don't always stop to see the little things around us. Our brains are wired to focus on bigger things but the little ones take us to a different world altogether. I have captured some of the pictures from around my home. A Lady bug on a bike I have only seen the red ladybugs but this one was different. This bug flew past me after I had taken it's picture, making my heart lose a beat. An Earthworm slithering through sand This earthworm is darker than the ones that I have seen in my native place. The ones there were light pink, probably due to lack of exposure to sunlight while this one was a dark brown. The interesting thing about this was that it found a patch of grass in its path and manage

The Last Breath

The evening clouds filled the sky, As I sat alone by the lake, The birds flew past by, And the sun went down in haste. The land was glum, albeit eerie, I could heard crickets chirp, In the distance I heard a cry, And my heart lost a cheer. Thoughts raced in my mind very fast, I couldn't make sense nor deny, Life in me was swaying like a mast, My heart was going into standby. Without harm to any known person, Passed in front of my eyes in a whiz, All the deeds that I had done, When I saw the eyes that kill. With this I have managed to write the worst poetry ever. I never liked poetry, not could make sense how people managed to write something in that manner. But what's done can't be undone. On a parting note, writing these four stanzas forced my mind to think in ways it had never done before. If in the least likelihood that you read it completely, please feel free to express your anger.
