Marriage is not about religion.
Aethists marry.

Marriage is not about pro-creation.
The infertile marry.

Marriage is not about finance.
It can weave poverty.

Marriage is about Love.
That's it.
And that is Beautiful.

Imagine the most incredible version of yourself. Close your eyes and picture her. What does she look like? Smell like? How does she laugh? What's her energy like? What type of house does she live in? How does she feel everyday? How does she react when things go wrong? Now, you've got the vision. Keep reminding yourself of it each day by closing your eyes, and connecting yourself with this vision. Write it down. Because what you'll start to see is that you will become the mose incredible version of yourself that you imagined.

Fail in private and succeed in private. You don't know who's wishing you well and who's praying for your downfall.

When you accidently chew
the cardomom (elaichi)
while eating Biryani.




When you feel a nutmeg
in your mouth while
eating Biryani.

She tossed and turned,

In search of Soberity.

Days felt warm

And Icy at the edges.

Face with stitched lips

Stared back at her.

Transfixed by the sleepless moon,

She longed to dream again.

The tangled earphones in my backpack
remind me of my thoughts which are a mess too, overlapping each other.
So I open my virtual diary, and spill everything.
No, I don't care if the words rhyme or not, I don't care if my rythym is right, b
Because
Who ever said that I am trying to right a poem?
No dear, I am spilling my thoughts and letting the black and white ink colour my mind.

There are times when my efforts go unnoticed and unappreciated and it hurts. It hurts so much. My heart literally shatters as tears prick my eyes. I feel like a loser, I feel like my presence doesn't matter and people will be better off without me.

I am so afraid. I am so insecure. I don't let people in easily. My personal life is so mixed-up, I always keep it away from people I get in touch with. Even my friends, also my cousins, don't know what happens in my life. Call me reserved or closed off, but the walls I have built around me are too thick, my territories too wide to trespass.

So when my efforts go unnoticed and I feel broken, I remind myself that I did it to please my Rabb and not people. And there's greater satisfaction in doing it for your Creator, because here, the rewards are based on the sincerity of trying and not on the attainment of results.

My mistakes and
My insecurities,
Would you throw it on my face
every now and then
Or
Would you promise to keep the past where it belongs, and help me overcome my insecurities?
