Voice to the Voiceless : A Story About Storytelling || Book Review: Divinely Destined by Dipa Sanatani

“The tales I weave are not mere fantasies. They are maps drawn from the intricate and unseen connections that bind our lives.”

~Dipa Sanatani, Divinely Destined

Different stories have roamed the world since time immemorial. They were called myths, legends, fables, folklores, parables—often dismissed as fantasies. But not all tales are figments of a writer’s imaginations.  Some bards tell the truth. Some bards narrate the stories of those whose voice has been silenced long ago. Some bards ...

Ruined by Love: Piscean VS Cancerian (Poetry)

I fell in love with
The wrong person again…
How long will it take
For me to understand
A Piscean
never stands a chance
With
A Cancerian?
What was I even thinking
Falling for you like that
Again and again
Like a clockwork?
Who ever heard of
A Love Story between
A fish and a crab
That didn’t end in
Pain,
Bloodshed,
Tears and
Heartbreak!

We are like
The two ends of
The same ring:
We go round and round
In eternal circles,
But never stop
In the middle.
We are like
The banks of shore:
We run parallel
For eternity,
B...

I Don’t Love You Anymore: Rithvik Singh (Book Review)

can feel like a storm to some,
and when they cannot escape it,
sometimes, they end up
spending their entire lives
hopelessly waiting for the sun.”

~Rithvik Singh, I Don’t Love You Anymore

Thank You for Leaving: Rithvik Singh (Book Review)

“What you can’t hold
Holds a special place
In your heart–
You have to love from a distance
But you hate the distance.”

~Rithvik Singh, Thank You for Leaving

A book of musings: poems, quotes, tiny tales, thoughts and reflections, that breaks and heals the heart, tears one apart and stitches the pieces together and makes one cry and smile at the same time.

A heart breaks silently, but the sound loudly resonates through the scribbling of the poet’s pen. The writer composed the book with such a de...

Reconnect with the Nature Within || Interview with Author Dipa Sanatani on her Book “Illuminator”

Nature has always been a source of great wisdom, inspiration, spirituality, love and healing. Humanity has always carried the consciousness of nature within their mind. Nature has always been a reflection of our own souls, holding a mirror to the vivacity of our hearts.

It’s also true that in their quest to dominate, humans have often severed their relationship with nature too. But there were also multiple times when humanity strived to reconnect with nature, healing themselves from within.

A Tapestry Interlacing Contrast With Harmony || Book Review: Illuminator by Dipa Sanatani

“Life was a gift, a burden, a blessing, a curse, a mystery and a miracle. Life was a paradox, a contradiction, a constant. Life was a spiral journey through a labyrinth…”

~Illuminator, Dipa Sanatani

Despair sowing the seeds of hope, darkness holding the torch towards light, destruction paving the path for renewal, death opening the doors for rebirth, ending bringing the promise of new begin...

It is a miracle I lived.

and station in life as a woman…
