Don’t be a sea cucumber!
Something most people know about me: Im a sensitive person. Things can quickly get to my heart, often before I have a chance to filter them through my mind. Which means Im quick to feel a whole bevy of emotions: anger, love, disappointment, elation, excitement, fear.
Something you might not know a... Read more of this blog post »

Reading and reviewing.

The First Thousand Years
Remember this is historical fiction, but it follows very closely to an actual historical line; real history. I also tried somewhat to keep the tone of the original writers. The ancient Bards. This is the ancient Welsh history going back to 1000 BC found in ancient texts at Oxford college in Brita...

शब्द (Word) Hindi poem
हाँ. मैं शबद हुँ
कभी बोलता हुँ,
कभी रुकता हुँ
कभी झुकता हुँ
और, कभी झुकाता भी हुँ
किसी के मन को हँसाते
किसी के भावनों को दुतकारते
किसी की जिंदगी को निहारते
किसी की आतमा को झिंझोडते
और मैं चला -
कभी मुसकुराते, कभी सिसकते...
मैं करण का शबद था
दरौपदी का अभिमान था

El aire entra a mis pulmones. No lo siento, pero lo sé. Lo sé porque de otra manera no podría estar vivo. Cuántas otras cosas no siento? No quiero saber porque eso no es lo más importante ahora. Ahora lo que importa es que me paré frente al vacío de la existencia y le dije que ya no tenía temor....
