Those that had my back

A look at my work profile one might say, “it’s impressive”. But let me tell you it is not! It took 46 job applications on LinkedIN and few with references through people who I thought would help if I approached them. One of my closest friends has always told me to be independent when it comes to both personal and professional lives. I should have listened but like a sentimental fool that I am I still believe that those people are my friends and would help like I would help them if ever there was a need. I gave up searching for jobs and spent a quiet time for a while trying to be content with the sleep, cook, eat routine. My mobile phone would remain on silent mode except for when I’m awake. One evening I noticed a missed call from a long-time acquaintance and ex colleague. I’ve worked with her in two organisations and I least expected a call not only from her but from anyone I knew through my work circle. I decided not to return the call. After staring at my mobile for a while, I...

An Ode to September!

Oh, September! I have loved you, Loved you for varied reasons, Loved you not only because- You are my birth month. Loved you for I had someone Someone who'd wish me Happy September! Happy September to us. We shared the same love for you. Suddenly, she was taken away! Away from me, And from her family. September, you’re my happiness You’re a disappointment, too. Should I still be in love with you? Will I always be reminded of the pain? The pain that won’t go away. The pain that is forever. Forever for there is no closure!

Kindness- A Superpower.

“No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.” Aesop This blog entry is my gratitude for all the superheroes out there. Yes, they exist! And no, they don’t wear capes. I am so thankful that I know some of them personally; the best part is they don’t shout out to the world or posts on social media to brag about the good deed they are doing. We need more of such individuals who go out of their comfort zones to help those that require aid. We all have our own share of problems but there are others who suffer a lot more as compared to us. It doesn't matter how we help them in our own way. The best feeling is to give with all your heart and don't expect anything in return. I also believe that kindness should be for all living beings. There are friends who care for animals that need help. There are others who volunteer even in the pandemic. Nothing stops them from taking care of those in need. Words are too small for the deeds that you do. Gratitude is all...
