Ek Kahani Garma Garam Chaai Ke Saath

Sparrow is my favorite bird. Not for some random reason, though. I only remember one story from my childhood. When my mother came from work, and we slept on our tiny bed, she narrated this story night after night. Same story for years and I never got bored of it. If there was anything a child wanted in a story -  this story had it - moral, fun, thrill, justice, action and hope. It left an indelible impression on my tiny heart… so much so, whenever I spot a sparrow, my lips arch and heart is filled with joy. Such is the power of a story. It moves you. It transports you to a magical land. And, at the same time gives you enough wisdom to deal with the real world. But there is one catch - for any story to make an impression, it should be told in the right way.

What’s the right way, you ask? Well, that’s a tough question to answer. It’s perspective. It’s personal. Like, I met a girl on the blogosphere - witty, fun, honest and she shared stories that were outrightly irresistible. I read her blog occasionally. She said good, honest and inspiring things. I liked it. Many other liked it too. Then, the obvious happened - word spread out and she grew. Now, her blog has grown bigger. She still shares good stories on it. Stories that are real. Stories that strike a chord. Stories that give dollops of wisdom without being preachy. Read all on ChaaiPani.com and judge for yourself. And, if you like these stories, they are told in the right way. Because only the right way of storytelling can evoke emotions!

Also, if you love these stories or the idea behind any story, help ChaaiPani. This storytelling platform needs money to reach out to more people. There are people who prefer watching a story, and she is planning to bring it to them. They need money to make videos of these inspiring tales. How do you do that? It’s simple. ChaaiPani is running a crowdfunding campaign.  Follow this link - make a contribution and invest your time and money in a good story.

Open your heart and wallet as we need good stories for fun and wisdom.

Sorry, I forgot to mention this girl’s name. She is Shruti Chaturvedi, waise naam to suna hi hoga!
In case you are not convinced by my 400-word post, watch this video. Maybe, their humor can convince you to spare some money for this amazing project.

Being Human

Under the roof of winter, Latches of my door open without making a sound. It's cold out there, Someone lost his ground. My soul shivers, Not that I'm cold. Someone from my land, Sleeps under the bridge while dreaming of gold. How can I... tuck myself in the quilt? When the winter storm is blowing, Hopes they have built. I have to get up, Do something... Before I start questioning who am I? And, they start saying...'Humanity dies.' Let's work out something, Take a resolution. Walk across all kinds of bridges, And, just be human... From centuries people are migrating for work or for better opportunities. But, not everyone has a smooth sailing...some live under miserable conditions. Most heart wrenching fact is nobody helps them, not even people from their own countries. I know, everybody is busy chasing the bigger purpose of life. But don't you think we should help people in need? Let's try to be better human being...

I Am Not Alone

Last year blessed me, He walked silently into my life. It was Love, That took me in its stride. One evening we walked holding hands, Then, I told him what I felt in heart. He said we were one soul, Who were living in parts. To bring the parts together, We fought with the world and tied the knot. Being one soul, Gave life a whole new spot. Chirping birds, floating clouds, Nature conspired for us. Always swimming against the tide, Life was in an adrenaline rush. This year cursed me, He walked silently out of my life. It was Death, That took him in its stride.       Yesterday his soul was saying, Fearing memories will fade, he can’t move on. He will stay and admire me, Standing always by my side from dusk to dawn.

Rewind - September 2023

 I wrote the following in September. Sometimes, I feel I will forget the art of writing couplets because I am not writing at all this year. I strongly believe you have to practice to hone your craft. And I am not doing that. Perhaps I schedule a time to write a poem. Or I need better time management skills. Date Published 09/05/2023 मुझे उसके जाने का इतना अफ़सोस नहीं हुआ  जितना इस बात का कि इतने सालों तक उसे रहने ही क्यों दिया  Love, Saru
