Empty - Part 2



My heart hurts with longing

With a void of fresh wounds

Nothing is of true joy

A melody robbed of its soul

I feel the abyss buried in my heart 

Slowly engulfing me

To the very end.

Thank you!

Throughout almost two years of Fledgling, you might have read about several people and places. This is my story. Since childhood, I have always been an ambitious child who yearned and burned with the passion to create an identity for myself. I was a sensitive child too, often bullied for my complexion. Though academic life was always a breeze, my social life has always struggled for stability and it still does. My conversations are rarely with people and my peers have always been in the form of a paper and pen. I needed something. My only comfort was music and literature.

Our last day at Kodaikanal

Good morning! It is Day 3! What's up? We are already preparing to leave the hotel.

This was our last day at this beautiful place and today will write my final memories in this place. And? We boarded the cab to spend our day seeing the last few attractions saved for the last of our trip. Our first spot was quite far away - about 35 kilometres away from our hotel. We were headed towards Poombarai, a beautiful hamlet in the outskirts of Kodaikanal. This wasn't just a spot - it was once home to the notorious Seevalaperi Pandi, a Tirunelveli goon who once was the king of headlines in the 1980s.  This hamlet had a lot in store for us - beautiful carrot and garlic plantations dotting the borders of the hills.

Love is in the air.....

Love has been eternal always. From gifting a bouquet or diamonds to a small act of kindness, love is in the air. No matter how much cruelty has seeded itself in a person, love peeks out in some form through one's actions and intentions. Love is the core feeling that radiates through every particle of your soul. A smile is the only most precious and valued ornament that won't cost you a penny. It makes you look beautiful.Why not wear it everyday?  A smile and a kind act is all that you need to show your love to the world and capture hearts wherever you go. When you have a weapon that can transform a scowl into a beautiful grin, why not make use of it? Unfortunately, most don't. Why not initiate a beautiful revolution with something as simple as a smile? Make someone's day bright with a warm smile of yours and see how good it makes you feel. So simple, right? Today is the celebration of love and kindness to spread and sprinkle everywhere you go. Don't...
