Dal Lake transforms into a magical world under the light of the setting sun. It is the best time to take a shikara ride.
The beautiful surroundings not only take your breath away but it also gives joy to your soul, a truly soothing and mesmerizing experience.
So next time when you are in Srinagar don’t forget to take a shikara ride in the evening.
What do you listen to while you work?
There is no option for me to listen to any kind of music while working. But while writing or blogging I love to listen to the soundtracks.
My favourite musicians when it comes to soundtracks are Hans Zimmer who produced heart touching score for the movies like Interstellar, inception and dark knight, Hildur guðnadóttir for Joker ,Ramin Djawadi for Game of thrones and Scott Buckley (you can find his music on YouTube and in many of my long form videos).
These soundtracks strike a different chord with you and really touch your soul. If you are writing poetry or an emotional piece then these soundtracks can really help as your thoughts overflow when you are listening to one.
There’s something about darkness,Which makes you adore the light more.There’s something within us ,Which guides us to our soul ! What is it that keeps your fire alive,In spite of losing your shore ?Maybe the churning darkness within,That makes you adore the light more ! ©2022 Piyush Singh The picture above is of Manali valley, […]

What do you think gets better with age?
To err is human and to learn from it is human too.
When you face failure you introspect , you try to know what went wrong and after knowing the cause you try not to make the same mistake again.
Similarly, if you face success then you try to repeat the same procedure or routine again and again.
As you grow old ,your experience of failures , success, loss and defeat makes you wiser than before. You embrace contentment and calmness becomes your strongest suit.
Life on our planet grew up to this level because it made mistakes, evolved from it and finally produced wiser beings like us. I just hope it only gets better.
You are not alone,
you are with the silence
that speaks only
when you open your heart.
It says,
your life is not futile
and your pain is not the end.
Far away from the cities,
In the wilderness
you will heal,
you will find your home,
your purpose and
the meaning of your life.

From the cosmos to the womb,
You were alone.
From the womb to this world,
You came alone.
Yes, you were under their shadow,
The ones who made you walk.
Yes, they were the gateway,
The parents who made you Rock.
Once again your destiny crossed,
From parents to the love you met.
The love of her who gave you more,
The gifts of life , the kids you grow.
But the time refused to obey,
And took the love by stripping away.
Once more you walk alone,
Leaving everything behind you once owned.
Once again
From the known to the unknown,
You walk alone.
From your last breath to the light of souls,
You walk alone….

Life seeping through the cosmos,
Riding on an illusion called as time.
Memories stay forever,
Whether we die or stay alive ..
Another milestone till we die,
Another year we pass through .
Once more we start from day one,
Once more our spirits run high….

Happy New Year to all. May this year brings lots of joy to all of us
When nothing in life makes sense, when you feel lost in the polluted urban jungle which you call home, then you have to go back to your roots, the wilderness from where your species evolved. That place, those mountains from where you truly belong. After another difficult year , I decided to go for another […]

As my Eyes Open to
The morning Glory,
I witness the presence
Of a shining dream,
Maybe the dreams of
My closed eyes,
Nudged and pushed
My soul to the open eyes.
A Dream comes alive
Through the light of the heavens,
The light which turns the white
Of snow and ice,
Into jewels of peace and calm
For my tormented soul.
And the Green shimmered
Of life and Hope….

How are you creative?
Creativity is something which comes from an unconventional Mindset. From the beginning our minds are coded with rules , regulations and customs of the society.
If we learn a skill , we are hard wired to do it in a specific way. Therefore it’s difficult to innovate but those who dare to do so , more often than not become a sensation and people follow that afterwards. These people are highly creative but sometimes in order to become more creative people spoil the basic part.
So , creativity is quite difficult to follow. And for me too it came with difficulty. Whether in music or in sports I wasn’t able to do much because I didn’t dare to venture into unknown territories. I guess overthinking is the biggest enemy of creativity. When you overthink you mostly venture into negative mindset territory and come back to your usual path.
You can fail a few times if you venture into new territories but you should always have a strong faith to keep going. The world we see it now is purely because of few people who dared to venture into unknown territories. Their creativity built our modern world.
So break all the shackles that are stopping you and become who you are by being creative. You may fail a few times but you won’t have regrets that you didn’t try.
Merry Christmas to all
