With a sensitive approach towards mental well-being, Because articulates positive thinking with creative reads and poetic expressions giving us meaningful takeaways. It captures a release of different moods with sheer optimism. It asserts on prudent lessons of various experiences and helps us to reach logical ends. An engaging read, this book brings an extraordinary feeling of happiness and

internal satisfaction.

Compelling Reads

Because...

beliefs speak.

2020,

Pandemic diary

Who

Knocked?

Life moved.

I grew,

And I grew tall.

Neglecting routine reserves,

Thinking they were all mine.

Things that were once free,

Soon came priced.

The inhale of fresh oxygen,

Now, layered with a nosy mask.

The solitude of lush greens,

Patrolled by guarded cops.

The zest of barefoot run,

Lie inside an online yoga room.

The silence of holy shrine,

Deliver home-made prayers.

The crisp of morning newsprint,

Surface a lifeless touchscreen.

The joy of hand-picked dailies,

Shrink-wrap in a market app.

The sizzle of hot cinema popcorn,

Couch on indoor live streaming.

The thrill of real santoor,

Play on headphones in playlists.

The ghazal of Jagjit,

Ripples nostalgia in whisky.

The fine dining impression,

Sit at home-made dinner tables.

The roar of 3.00 am friends,

Mute with Zoom call Hi’s…

The promise of our well-being,

Commit insurance in covid covers.

The retire of one’s sweat,

Trend live stories on instagram.

The peace of mindful sleep,

Hover with what’s for tomorrow.

The warmth of love,

Is touched with woody silence.

What happened… Who knocked?

It only said,

I give… I retaliate…

Absences with absence.

Affection with affection.

Friendship with friendship.

Loyalty with loyalty.

No more one sided feelings.

Feelings must be mutual.

Respect my being.

And I respect you.

I am Nature.

Because, respect is mutual.

Isolation,

ain’t Isolated!

ISOLATION

Separated. Deserted. Alone. Single.

Not really.

But,

Connected. Included. Not one. A tribe.

Isolation ain’t isolated,

But a happy quarantine.

A cheerful me time,

On a happy selfie rhyme.

Glued to my lappy,

The worlds’ at my desk.

From SARS to CORONA’s,

All connected in my net.

Friends to my fingers,

Hellos at the wats-app.

Cutting real-time peeps.

Instagram says just be.

Claps on my creative,

Social Samosas cheer me loud.

Let’s now debate,

The Quint voices me out.

Alone; a petty status,

Tinder keeps me hooked.

Date, mate and hate,

Creates many stories.

Live is short,

Lasts for a day.

Meet me buddy,

I am today’s, ‘Its Live’.

So much to seek,

From likes to love.

Country’s world-wide,

To n fro land… on my palm.

Isolation ain’t isolated,

It’s the new me.

A diy hack,

My solo space shack.

ISOLATION

I am connected. I am included. I am the one. I am the tribe.

Look inside

The karma chakra

Rendevous,

with Black!

What happens…

When clouds of gloom engulf you.

What happens…

When you lose road to dark bushes.

What happens…

When you realize your eyes see ‘Black.’

Puzzled vibes. Sense of intrigue. Little suspense and a handful of drama.

Meet Black – The significant.

It is the ultimate vibrant hue around us; our primary habitat in which we live most of the time. On general terms, Black is perceived as the opaque layer of life, which avoids contact with light. However, have you ever pondered that Black itself is light?

Rare, but true.

How?

‘Blank’ can be white. Nevertheless, ‘Black out’ is black. The black out phase then meets the phase of blank creating rays of unseen light to seep inside and search new theories.

Close your eyes. Shut your mind. Now you belong to the dark room. Allow the inner conscience to awaken and speak. Let us, first clear all noise and empty the soul. You will find the purest aura of radiant black throwing positive energy around to transcend in different plateaus. The naked Black
