I'm a published haiku poet, my first haiku poem appeared in 2019 in Cattails Journal, since then I've been writing. And my very first poem was published as one of the winner poem in children's magazine in 2011 :)

The simplicity of life fascinates me a lot.

The question “Why I am even doing this?” (navigating through life)

9 November 2024 / Bhawana

I think, at some point in life, every person must have felt, “Why I am even doing this, for who, for what, at what cost, what is the meaning of all this, am I even on the right path, is this even meant for me, am I even capable ? ” etc, etc.

And these are some genuine questions, something that can not be brushed off by saying it’s just mind-talking.

As our entire existence is based on these thoughts, it’s the core of our thinking that guides us in a direction, towards taking action.

Welcome silence amidst the chaos !

Pause and. . .

Listen closely !
