You pump my confidence like anything! Sharing a small part of a poem because I am yet to receive the published copy:

the small chest rose and fell with the greatest strength imaginable, 

the doctors fought alongside her until she was momentarily stable, 

The battle raged on but in front of the opponent all attempts seemed shoddy, 

Her lungs worked hard till there were no more breaths left in that tiny body, 

It wasn’t the loss of just one family, 

Unheard of ever before-never recorded never billed, 

but wiped cities and looted countries in one blow, 

the world came together for this terrifying show, 

solutions came forth, 

but lives were lost, 

nobody knows what it was worth, 

why the innocent had to pay such a heavy cost?

Vicious blackberries….This made me laugh 😀

Wow, Farming! It is challenging but also rewarding I believe. I am bad with plants in general, I haven’t explored much but I tried growing a few plants as a teenager I ended up not understanding the hypergrowth and hence had a shrub in my hands extremely soon and then I surrendered the shrub to my mum and then she took care of it. Haha

But I wish you all the very best for this new experience! I am sure your efforts will be better than mine! 🙂

Hi Anita, Happy New Year! I am good, been busy with work. But I have news! Since the last time we connected, I came across an opportunity to submit my poems and get them published so I did. I will soon have the hard copy with me and the book will be sold on Amazon at a low price.

Nothing on the marriage front yet but now I am looking forward to having a partner. It does not mean I am over my past relationship but I am not looking forward to comparing my future relationship with my past. I will start afresh.

Life is alright, I made some really good friends who want nothing from me apart from my friendship and my well-being and I have been happy since I met them.

oh, Anita don’t be tensed. I read it and felt good as well.

Do seek a doctor’s opinion on your injury and if you aren’t able to, perhaps ice packs and hot water bags at intervals would help relieve the pain.

I would ping again around Christmas! Sending wishes of love and health to you!

Hi Anita,

I am great! Took the dream workcation I talked about. It was a 3-week long trip to a coastal district of my country. I cycled around on my e-bike and worked from cafes. It was so much fun exploring beaches, talking to people, and making new friends- some of them tried to teach me swimming too but unfortunately, I could not follow their instructions too well did that stop me from playing pool ball? No!

I do not think a lot about things. I switched my job, and I am getting paid more. Talked to one of the prospective groom candidates my parents chose for a week- did not like him and my parents have been supportive of it. My father pushed a little because he had one of the best jobs in my country but when I made it clear it was a big NO, he agreed.

For now, I am in a good space. Am I healed? No, I feel like I have a lot of demons but I need some more time before I hear them patiently. I want happy experiences for now.

How are you? Have you been good?
