First Snow

 The new snow of the season is always special

Pin-drop silence on a wintry night
Enough a sign of snowfall in silence

By the morning the snowflakes cover the earth
The first snow of the season brings joy and mirth

Painting the trees and roofs with nature's white brush
Everything looks new, lovely, and fresh

Shimmering icicles are an added joy
For children, they are nature's toy

And the sun comes out with a happy face
Showering us with warm rays

From my window, I see snow and sun in one frame
Covering the earth in their drapes

Everyone is bundled up and cheerful, the mood is sweet
Sipping my steaming coffee, I enjoy the scene

To walk on fresh powder, people come out in droves
Some are eager to hit and schuss the slopes

Shoveling snow is fun and a chore
Snowman and snowfall fights in store

A new hope, a happy tiding, and my heart glows
White and gold this painting rolls

How to put “Simple” into life

Image
                                                         Photo by Duygu Gungor on Unsplash I know how complicated our lives are. Infusing simplicity may seem a far-fetched thing. I used to be in a fiendish hurry from the moment I woke up till I flopped into the bed at night. My waking hours were consumed by a circle of tasks, worries, distractions, and exhaustion to say the very least. Not all the tasks I performed every day were of utmost importance. There were things that needed my attention badly but somehow I was “too busy”. Racing to somehow fill up the pages of my life did not make sense. I wanted to lead a life where I did not get drowned in the noise. Time is precious, we ought to spend it wisely. Basically, at heart, we’re all simple human beings. We get caught up in a web and we lose control of who we are. I needed to regain this control and switch to my simple self. It’s a work in progress. I can walk you through a few of my picks for a simpler and more fulfilling life. Heal
