This is the beginning of third year of an existence I never imagined I will be living- being financially dependent on someone.

I am absolutely at my patience’s end and am hundred percent sincere about trying any genuine free lance job on writing, that is I write and you pay, I am not keen to hit jackpot, fair payment will be fine enough for me.

I will like to clearly tell the robbers looking for fools to dupe to keep off – this one is too experienced to fall for your traps. I have tried for years to get a genuine, fair paying home-based job; the last time I was duped was in 2008 by a phony medical transcription institute, it gobbled up 30000 rupee and almost an years hard work, left me really sick in guts. Well, I am ready to take chances again but no longer being fooled. So, if any literary agent thinks that my works are worth it, I won’t mind sharing profits with him/ her; the percentage or fees for services will be negotiable. But please, don’t ask me to get a membership first, speak in trustworthy language. Or, any genuine publisher, publishing agency can gladly contact me, I will consider paying the fees if I think the offer isgenuine and reasonable.

You can check out my blogs to assess my writing and contact me.

The lyre and the pen


A caring friend of mine asked
Why have I put down the pen
And picked up the lyre to play
I can do so much good with pen.

I smiled and pondered about
Reasons which has brought change
How I realized that I cant write
Fairytales when I am using pen.

A light of truth starts to glow
And lightens up my very vision
That’s not fit for this time
Nor very appetizing for most.

A civilisation which whitewashes
Its black body and screams I am pearl
And dares any one to prove him wrong
And proving wrong results in destruction.

So after playing with the pen for a while
I thought that its not a magic wand
Which will wake up a sleeping country
So I laid it down and picked up the lyre.

  1. The sound that will come out from the ink spilled on the blank paper will outperform and stand out the sound that comes from the strings of a lyre. The need of the hour is your pen my friend.

  2. Reminds me of the wisdom of ying and yang... in the context of poetry, that is, ;-). Girl, this poem of yours reminded me of my very own musings sometimes... songwriting is something that am trying to explore, so yeah- I can relate to this beautiful poem of yours, ;-) keep writing! :-)

    one should always follow soul.
