It all started two years ago.......




Dear Readers,

Join me to celebrate the successful two years of my Blog,  "UNSPOKEN WORDS" which started on January 12, 2016.  .  I was a pleasure to share my thoughts,  feelings and opinions.  Surely I could not have done it without you.  It was all because of you that I could carry on with a flood of thoughts and kept getting a new influx of ideas.

 We worked as a team and during the journey of my blogposts.  I did not just have fun in writing,  I  learnt to care and share, to understand and realize.  The two years of my blog added a lot of meaning and value to my life.

The blog is a lot different from what I started.  The difference was because of you.  UNSPOKEN WORDS starts with U and this Blog is all about YOU.  You made the difference by being there for me, by making this blog part of your precious time, and your interest in the blogposts.

With the passage of time I have made new friends and met so many critics who helped me up the ladder of improvement over the last couple of years.   It was a challenging and a great adventure with words.  With my shovel of letters I kept digging for UNSPOKEN WORDS till I was able to voice them .  

I am getting ready to share more stories with you.   Through the successful two years of my blogposts i did not just have fun in writing but kept moving forward to opportunities for more blogposts and new ideas.

As I begin my third year, I am all geared up for more experiences to share with you and learn from you and with you.   

With great appreciation, 

Sincerely, 

Me.

Words





Words travel faster than you think
Even faster than you can blink
They come from nowhere, anywhere or everywhere 
Yes they do always come from "somewhere" 

They can heal
They can appeal
They make us pay a price
Once, twice or thrice they 
Can cut, and damage
surpass our capacity to manage

They can break or shake
They can damage or forsake
Mind you what you utter
It can be your bread and butter
It can be your only hope 
When you are clinging to a rope

What have I done?







Every day, every time I question myself, " What have I done today?"  Have I done something significant?  Something  worthwhile?   Something satisfying?   What have I accomplished ?

Significant!   Worthwhile! Satisfying! These words may mean different things to different people.  It depends on our priorities,  mentalities and personalities.  

Let us assess our worth in what we can do for others ?  This analysis our real worth.  We can do a lot for ourselves and still not be content because our real satisfaction lies in how we can be useful to others.  Our measurement of value lies in how much or how little we value others.

Let's get back to where we started.  What have I done today?  I have done NOTHING today if I have not done anything for someone other than myself.

Tales of 2017.....






At the sunset of 2016, we were speculating, guessing, wishing, dreaming and wondering what 2017 will be like.........

Over the span of 12 months, 52 weeks and 365 days of 2017 there were a lot of stories, discoveries, experiences, details, narrations etc.  Time had an important role to play.  In fact time has a major say everywhere.  

Its all about time.  With time we understand, realize, accept andreject what we did not initially.  The year that just went past and is about to become history, told us a lot.  It disclosed to us who will leave us forever and who is here to stay.  Who will be taking the wedding oath and with whom, who will be blessed with a baby and the gender of the baby, who will succeed and who will fail, who will remain with us and who will abandon us.

With time all anticipations are dissolved into REALITY.  Every forecast, predictions and projection hardens and stands out as FACT. Facts that cannot be changed.  Facts that cover up the pages of history books, Wikipedia etc.

Weather conditions that were threatening us, dangers that were lurking, health problems that were of great concern......all of them either died down, got cured or got out of the way with time.

Similarly 2018 is a bag of wonders, we are all wondering what it will be like.  Good or bad, better or worse, bitter or sweet, yes and no and a lot more.  We dont know, we never will until time dishes it out and serves it to us.

Let us put in fresh and healthy ingredients to be served nutritious portions in the 12 months, 52 weeks and 365 days of 2018.  Right !
