"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".

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...

“When Love Becomes a Language”

It has been 9 years since I married Rohit and became a part of this beautiful family, and in that time I came to know Amma as an all-rounder. I remember once asking Appa about the collection of awards in the showcase, and he told me that most of them belonged to Amma. From writing to creative thinking, to receiving “Best Employee” awards at Cochin Refinery.. ( thats wher she worked) —she was always at the top in everything she did. I even came across her handwritten recipe book, filled with recipes for many dishes including doughnuts which was uncommon back then. Every page was written with neat handwriting and exact measurements. Rohit often told me how Saturdays at home were almost like a feast when Amma would prepare a variety of new dishes for the family. Food was her love language and she found joy in serving the family. Amma had a way of finding cute coincidences. Amma told me soemthig she had figured out. she told that all the daughter in laws of the house....

Follow your Passion, It will lead you to Success!

Name: Bittu Jacob Owner of Baked for you by Bittu 1. Why did you pursue baking as career? During my school days I enjoyed baking with my ‘Amma’. After getting married I used to bake occasionally at home and when we had guests at home. On my son’s 5 th birthday, I decided to make a fire truck shaped fondant cake. It was my very first attempt baking a fondant cake from scratch. When my family saw the cake they were quite impressed. To be honest the cake tasted lovely but it was not like those very neat fondant cakes . My family encouraged me to level up my skill by attending cake décor classes. So I attended a class and learned the basics of cake decoration. Even at that point of time I never thought of taking this up professionally. That same year (2016) in the month of December my Appa asked me to bake 10 cakes to gift his friends. I was nervous about this but my Appa had full confidence in me. He convinced...
