Good Morning Sunshine, It is indeed a very beautiful morning today, it is almost 7 in the morning, I have a hot cup of detox water in one hand, sipping through it feels good. I can taste the bittersweet flavors of lemon and honey. With the other hand, I am writing this letter to you and hoping that you’re doing the same i.e., trying to live in the moment and feeling grateful for everything around you. There is a book too underneath the diary, waiting to be opened, smelled and read. We’ll both do so in a while. There is no particular reason as to why we woke up early today but I am glad we did. Else, we’d have missed another beautiful morning and this gentle breeze slightly touching our face and seeing people here from the balcony. Sunshine, we are truly grateful for how beautiful this morning turned out to be, how we are able to wake up and just sit in the balcony full of plants and just be in the moment, what else could’ve made this morning better, my dearest? You must be wond...

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...

  Endurer by Mr. Kapil Raj is a gripping tale of a girl named Palak and her story. A story which will take you to the lavish lifestyle of rich people, a story which will let you meet the gang everyone wishes for in life, a story of friendship, of love, of lust, of hatred, envy, jealousy. A story of women being stated as useless and being used for men’s own good, a story of women standing up for their rights and living their life with dignity and respect against all odds. A story of courage and of hope. My dear sister, this is your story, this is our story. Story about the lives we live on a daily basis. A story of RAPE . Yes, you read it right. A story where we read and imagine and feel how and why men force themselves upon women and let her dignity, her respect, her whole life fall into small pieces of hatred and shame. All of us remember 16 th December, the Nirbhaya case, and when did she get justice? After 4 years of her death. Rape is the 4 th most committe...

. Let's talk about the poetry book that I recently happened to read and it is called "Moments of life" by @beninadar 💕. First of all, the cover is this books is so so beautiful and literally let's us know what the whole book is actually about❤️. Secondly, the title, it is just so appropriate, tells us the whole story in just 3 words💛. Thirdly, the chapters of this book, there are 47 chapters in total, starting from talking about the birth of a human being and ending with the last minute of life of a human, every chapter is dedicated to each phase of life that a person goes through in his life, for example, there is this one chapter which talks about how happy days are with you until you go through school and college but when reality hits, your little world and the little happiness it gave you earlier, gets over and you finally have to go through life and pass all its tests📖. This book also talks about the first time a child starts walking, the first time he/ she e...

Ahalya's Awakening A book which talks about the female mythological character which is super underrated. A book which talks about the intelligence of women and how they actually wanted to be a scholar and not just a wife to a husband, or a sister to a brother, or a daughter to a father. A book which talks about Ahalya, the most beautiful woman of all times, the woman created by Brahma himself, desired by King of Gods, Indra, the most intelligent woman of all times indeed and the woman whom every man wanted with lustful eyes but only one could win her heart who was none other than, Rishi Gautam. But, she was also the woman who was cursed by her own husband. Why did this happen? What could have been the circumstances that led to this disaster of a situation? Let us talk about the book and how much I absolutely loved it and the Author who is letting readers discover more about the unspoken mythological female characters.   ABOUT THE AUTHOR Kavita Kané is a former jou...

Hello Sunshine, How are you doing? I hope you are doing really good and enjoying your life just like you wish to. Sunshine, do you sometimes feel alone? Like you are surrounded by so many people yet, no one is there for you? Do you feel that you are in a trap and cannot breathe? If not, then I pray for you to never feel so, Sunshine. But, if you do, know that I am with you, my dearest. I am there with you, always. You are not alone, Sunshine. It is perfectly fine to feel so, sometimes. This can be a reality check for you, to realize that you are the only one for yourself. Sunshine, everyone experiences pain and suffering but not everyone experiences it in the same way that you do. This loneliness, heartbreak or breathlessness that you feel, know that, it is all temporary. Just a matter of time, when this will all be gone, I promise, Sunshine. There will come a time when you will be shining like a star. Oh! Not like a star but the moon. Or let us think this w...
