Butterfly Away !

It started as a mere caption writing hobby aimed to make my family giggle while going through the photo albums. I transitioned into noting brief anecdotes in my school notebooks. It slowly grew into a habit of expressing myself through my writing. I was the shy and quiet girl with dreams which spiraled through the universe :) The writings were generally kept to myself and discovered by chance by my dearest mom. She always encouraged me to keep going.  I used to blabber that someday I will write books. A loved one use to tease that the dream will be realized with only one book being printed. I used to joke and laugh along with it at my immature dream.

In the year 2000, I was swept into the world of blogging. I loved it since I could express myself as an anonymous writer without the fear of my writing being judged. I remember being a part of the 

early bloggers meet in Delhi in 2004. I met people from different walks of life who were literary gems in their own way. There came a lull and I left writing. I couldn't keep myself away and got back to blogging from 2009 onwards. The shy quiet girl has shed her cocoon away and is ready to spread her wings. I am who I am and will speak my heart. The first step is miniscule  but the dream is alive. Maybe someday, I will get to it. I am happy being given an opportunity by blogadda to be a part of the Chicken Soup Series. The joy of holding the book and reading the story in printer's ink leaves me ecstatic. I continue to bask in the joys of life's small gifts.  The book is all set to hit the stores soon :) 

I spread my wings,

Over the clear blue sky,

I soar away with the winds,

Towards the land of my dreams :) 

A handful of sunshine !

I step out of the fence, 

The place looks new, 

Unlearning the old,

Embracing the change, 

The heart and mind, 

Pulling each other apart, 

I tell them to keep quiet, 

While I choose to paint, 

 The world in my colors, 

 With a handful of sunshine !
