I write because I feel!!

Posted on   27/03/2016   by   Dailyexcelsior Ravia Gupta In this fast moving world, where life seems to be getting more and more full and crazy, being busy is not an act anymore and you seem to be struggling quite often to snatch a second to catch your breath, or smell the roses or the coffee, so what is that thing which one must do to sigh some relief is what I am hinting at. Close your eyes and imagine. I insist…close your eyes and imagine a creative you. Yes, you read it right, a creative you! No, I am not talking about Picasso or Einstein at all. All I am talking about is how creative are you or let me put it this way how are you creative in solving various problems that life brings to you as a challenge each day? Aha! sure you all can enjoy this Eureka!

Sounds absolutely perfect for a good start but what happens in between is a far greater challenge that silently ’KILLS’ all the rituals one ever dreamt to perform for a perfect love life balance. A lot has already been written on what love is and what it is not, but can you ever know what love is or not? Well, for some it’s just so easy to fall in and rise above,...
