The Sublime Truth



BLURB
‘The Sublime Truth’ is a collection of poems portraying self-realization, healing, immortality and the ultimate goal of salvation. Every poem in it is a reflection of my encounters with self, truth and attaining spirituality. The innate capacity of us as humans to exercise introspection and the thirst to learn about our ultimate purpose and essence are highlighted in them. Interestingly, in this quest to seek thy purpose, as a woman, I also try to reflect her relationship with her soul mate, friends, and family. From day to day experiences to soul searching endeavors, the decisions she makes, the vows she tries to fulfill, the upheavals she faces, the sacrifices she makes, the fate she accepts, these poems celebrate the strong character of a woman. These poems are what I feel, what inspires me, how I overcame the loss of my greatest strength, my mom. They rotate around the outrageous courage to accept hatred and still not lose faith in your dreams. They are not just only poems; they are the thoughts of my subconscious soul woven into words, aged over decades, enlightened by the beautiful wisdom of my mom. They embark my journey of seeking truth, enchantment, and awareness.

With a professional qualification of a Doctoral degree (Botany), Shikha has always found solace in expressing through poems.

A self love letter to you, from you, Sunshine :)

Hello Sunshine, How have you been doing these past few days? I know, this is a touché topic to talk about these days but I hope things will get better real soon and we’ll all be able to forget this new normal and will get back to being out older selves with a few changed and better habits that we learned throughout this pandemic. Sunshine, it is not always easy to be our best selves in all the situations but you’ve got to start from a certain point, right? I heard you’ve been thinking that you’re turning into an emotionless being? That you have no idea what you are feeling and why. Tell me something, didn’t you smile last night when your whole family was with you last night, enjoying dinner and watching TV while talking about your childhood memories they cherish till date? Didn’t you embrace the wind you felt on your face while riding your scooter? Didn’t it make you smile? Didn’t you cry when you thought about the fact that there might be a few years left for you to live wi...

Let's pour our heart out today!!

People often say, things never come easily to us. We need to work hard and really very hard to get the things in life that we really want to achieve. Often times I think about being a content writer, sometimes a data scientist or maybe a teacher or just staying a reader for life. People say that I've not been doing much in life professionally/ career related because they do not see me growing. I too think about all this many a times because who doesn't? I like to call these kind of days, " Reflection Days " when I sit down with a diary in hand (sometimes not even a diary) and think about everything I have done, achieved, experienced, regret not doing in this whole life or just the past year to be specific. The conclusion that I reach upon is considerably vague because I just cannot reach a proper conclusion to all these things, I guess no one can. Nonetheless, I reach upon the conclusion that I might have not done what my friends are doing or I might not have achieved...
