Dear readers -
Wishing all my Indian readers a very Happy Diwali. Yes, I am little late to wish but 'a late wish is a also a wish!
A thought came in this festive season. You reap what you sow. Reap love. Reap happiness. Reap respect. Reap understanding. It is a myth that 'grass is always green the other side' as then why we think 'my (our)' problem is the biggest in the world. Life is a not a journey but a collection of chapters that are worth re-reading. Thank you God for making me feel proud whenever I re-read my old chapters. I believe in three words - giving..giving...giving. God will always acknowledge what you give. Do not ask people but just believe in God.
Lot of things happened in last two days but I guess thats God's idea to check my patience :). Though a little wrong timing....
DailyHaiga has published my work at the below link. Chocolates are on hold for a while until Christmas and New Year.
Also, my workout is quite slow as I lost 4 kgs in a month due to my medical condition but the weight is the only good thing that happened.....<3
Frameless Sky an online journal has accepted my haiku and will be published in the first edition of the same. A Haiku Anthology has also shortlisted my three published haiku and they might be translated in Chinese. Let us see how it comes out to be....
I am sending couple of my senryu to other journals. My first two attempt were 'BANG ON!'. They were happily accepted. Indeed, one of the senryu was inspired by the word - 'addictive'. Sometimes we take our personal experiences (good/bad) and can make humour out of it.
I am quite slow with my projects now. I am giving a long break as this year was a commendable one as far as writing was concerned. Two anthologies and one haiku book. So many journals published my haiku, tanka, haibun and haiga. Not only that a commended mention in a great haiku contest - what more shall I ask God.........???
I might not to regular with my blogs but will try to be. Until then have a sparkling diwali and lots of sweets on my behalf!!
Happy Diwali !!
