The Courage to Follow Your Calling: Walking Your Path with Confidence
The Courage to Follow Your Calling: Walking Your Path with Confidence The echoes of the noise that surrounds us often succeed in their endeavor to surmount and overbear the inner compass and our intuition guides us toward it. The tendency of society to guide us towards the conventional way of life is its habitual way of functioning. While the ones who follow the laid guidelines are appraised and extolled and the ones who muster the courage to be unconventional are unfathomable and incapable as they do not work according to the prescribed guidelines of the societal norms. The comfort of comparison is way more elusive than the openness to change and empathy towards the different ways of thinking. The hesitation to accept a new way of living is viewed seldom as the hammered wheelings of time lay their footsteps.

6 things I learned as an award winning poet, content writer and blogger
6 things I learned as an award-winning poet, content writer and blogger Learning is the only constant, the ultimate way of you becoming the best of yourself you can ever be. When you learn something that you are passionate about, that is when the true magic starts. Passion and consistency pave the way for excellence in any field you decide to pursue. I began working as a content writer when I was 18. The journey has been an inspiring and exhilarating one, where I worked with great companies and mentors who helped me understand the art of writing and the game of creating content that not only sells but brews a story in its authentic light. Writing in its entirety always appealed to me, poetry and blogging were my mediums of expressing my creative light, where I was not bound by word limits or writing formats but simply words flowing in a rhythmic flair. From starting my blog on Instagram during the lockdown to being awarded for my poetry, there are many lessons that I have learned in my journey. Here are certain lessons I learned during my journey.

The Evolution of Self Belief: From Doubt to Certainty
There are times when we doubt how far can we go. When we fall into the comfort of comparison and diminish our self-worth because of not being enough for the world. But what exactly is enough? Is being enough for the world a testament to how worthy we are, of our journey or is it a mere perception of the people who want us to conform to their level of understanding?

The Cat on the Wire: A Tale of Commotion and Compassion. Content Warning.
Everyone was glancing up and congregating in the area. When I arrived, the agitation had reached a fever pitch. I asked one of the people that was there already what was going on. He expressed his deafness and muteness in sign language. I apologised, using my minimal amount of sign language—roughly 0. I continued to glance up, but my weak eyesight prevented me from seeing what everyone was fixated on. I then asked a different person. Pardon me... She turned her back on me as if I were a leprechaun. Well, I thought, that's two for two. I decided to ask this old timer and see if I could get any luck.

I know I'm a day late, and I posted two stories before this one today, but let me explain: I got called into work last night, and also, I am weirdly particular about the layout of my profile. I like it to go in a certain order when possible (unless there's a series involved.)

One Of Those Days
Introduction Many days I will wake up and have many subjects to write about. I try not to repeat myself and I also am wary of publishing poems one after another. When we work at our day jobs we have no choice but to go to work, deliver what needs delivering and put in the hours.
