"Sparkle of hope in the midst of a crack"


        

         Sparkle of hope in the midst of a crack
Standing at the edge of the road

I felt my legs tremble beneath me

The road with you was the one i loved to travel always

The road without you was bitter and harsh

But now came a time where both the roads seem to be equally painful

Those waves of the sea once dance around my feet

Now misled me and splashed right at my face

But never did i think that those innocent eyes will lie to me a second time

Dreams and expectations i had none

But a heart full of love i did have

Games I knew none except the ones played on board

So I folded my hands and gazed up

Surrendered myself to the one who created me

There shone a light which have certainly never seen before

It radiated an energy into me i have never felt before

Don’t let him win this game murmured a soft voice

I was able to hold back my tears which i never ever could

A ray of hope i now can forecast

Though everything  that reminded me of you weakened me.

I try to look down and walk¸ trying my best not to shake and fall.

This strong power made me tough

It helped me erase your memories one by one

Though marks were left behind

I’d like to keep these scars as a memory of you

It helped me write this poem and

will always help me to stay away from roses with thorns


This Poem was written for a 'Poem Writing Competition' I participated. The Topic was  "Roses & Thorns".
Location: Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India

Lost in Two Dimensions

  We gaze at screens, day and night, A world so flat, yet shining bright. Pixels dance, but can’t replace, The warmth of touch, a loved one’s face. No scent of earth, no ocean's breeze, No velvet grass beneath our knees. No taste of rain, no fire’s glow, Just silent echoes, a hollow show. Are we alive, or just a view? A life so crisp, yet missing hue. Step outside, let senses soar, Feel, breathe, taste—be whole once more. # unLearn

His Final Message to the World: Don’t Give Up on Your Dream”

My father’s brother — our dearest Lalu Uncle — went to be with the Lord in October 2025. He had travelled to Delhi to deliver this TEDx talk, but sadly, he never got the chance. He passed away before he could step onto that stage. If he had delivered this speech, it would have been one of the most inspiring and viral talks of all time. Take just 2 minutes to read through his incredible testimony — a journey of failure, faith, resilience, and destiny. The last speech Abraham Zachariah prepared – to deliver at TEDx I didn’t go to school. I was sent to school. Hence, for 10th standard, marks were very low and I could get admission only for Commerce group, as no one wanted (is 55 years ago) in my home state Kerala. My mother was very upset as my cousins and friends got into Science groups and she pushed me into Commerce Group. I was used to tell everyone that “Useless fellow, useless fellow, useless fellow are in Commerce Group and all the useless ones are in commerce group.” She was...
