“Never trust anyone who has not brought a book with them.”
― Lemony Snicket, Horseradish: Bitter Truths You Can't Avoid

“I’ll detach myself from the crowd if it hinders my growth,
I’ll fall from the tree that won’t let me grow.”
― Hareem Ch, Hankering for Tranquility

“It’s the war between what’s the right thing to do and what you feel is right?
It’s the battle between who you were and now where you’re headed
It’s the leap of faith that you need to take to get through the rough paths,
It’s the fear that you need to leave behind to do the daring things,
And you stay stuck wondering,
What to do?
Where to go?
Why does life get challenging?
Would I be ever able to make it?
Queries eat you up alive,
Answers seem not to care,
And at that moment, miracles happen out of nowhere,
Just open your eyes and see the turned tables,
You're given a reward after being tested.”
― Hareem Ch, Muse Buzz

“Your insensitivity neither lets me live nor die,
Your betrayal lets me neither smile nor cry,
I can't stand this parting of shores,
Be mine or make me yours.”
― Hareem Ch, Another World

“Can a smile be deceiving enough?
You see that laugh and assume everything is alright.
Can words of sympathy be genuine enough?
You listen to the sweet words and perceive they're actually being empathetic.
Can a hug be warm enough?
You're being held to show as if they'll never let you go.
Can tearful eyes be enough to fall into?
You'd always be their centre of attention and they'll never look away.
Can the presence of anybody be enough?
You’d be assured that their absence you'll never be tested with.
Can rain or sunlight be an alternative for human existence?
Just so when you'll be deprived, nature will be there to heal you!”
― Hareem Ch, Muse Buzz

“Places remain there as it is,
But you don’t stay the same.”
― Hareem Ch, Hankering for Tranquility

“Broke again? Damn you can never be broken. You can fall, you can get bruises, but you can never be broken. You’re living, breathing, and the best example for yourself. You’re made of galaxies, atoms, fire, and so much more. Never underestimate the magic in you. The light inside you can never be handled by the moths. It’s never your mistake, it’s the eyes that are blind to see the love in your eyes, it’s the hearts that don’t understand how your heart beats for them, it’s the ears that can’t hear the screams you try to raise to make them listen and it’s the soul that’s never able to comprehend the message you sent to them.”
― Hareem Ch, Breaking a Pledge
