I found a print in New York last year that stopped me on my tracks...was one of those moments when you say to yourself...wow that makes sense, why don't I see things like that (your poems have that effect, they are optimistic in nature). "If you get tired, learn to rest, not quit" Banksy
It has helped me a lot and my life will neve be the same.
Loved what you wrote today...reflections on one's choices in life. Regarding quotes: When I see a quote, which resonates with me, I write it down to think about later. A quote I have liked for years is Gandhi's quote: " Be the change you want to see in the world." It's truly thought provoking. What do we want? How can we make it happen? Each one of us has something to contribute, which would show care for this beautiful world and protect it, as the stewards we were supposed to be.
This wonderfully conveys how you have to accept the choices you’ve made and not excessively dwell or regret them! After all, the past can’t be changed, and even if it could, would you want to alter your current self? Lovely work here, Punit!
Amazing write up Punit. Keep it up. One of my favourite quotes is ' Well done is better then well said' . 😊
That's an awesome quote and very representative of who you are as a person 🙏

What an amazing quote, and thank you so much for appreciating the optimism. I work really hard on that! 🌞

Love that quote! 🤗
Lovely poem. Comes at a very good time for me, too. A time marked by lots of changes. I will publish a longer essay on the topic next week!
All the best for this moment of transition Andrei! 🫂
Appreciate it!
Brilliant post, Punit! And I love these words from your mum: “You can’t read the rest of the book if you keep re-reading old chapters.” Awesome!
Yessss, I am so grateful to have such rich guidance from her. She's the best!
very inspiring to read it Punit
It let me remember of a poem "मुनीर नियाज़ी" which goes
हमेशा देर कर देता हूँ मैं हर काम करने में
ज़रूरी बात कहनी हो कोई वा'दा निभाना हो
उसे आवाज़ देनी हो उसे वापस बुलाना हो
हमेशा देर कर देता हूँ मैं
मदद करनी हो उस की यार की ढारस बंधाना हो
बहुत देरीना रस्तों पर किसी से मिलने जाना हो
हमेशा देर कर देता हूँ मैं
बदलते मौसमों की सैर में दिल को लगाना हो
किसी को याद रखना हो किसी को भूल जाना हो
हमेशा देर कर देता हूँ मैं
किसी को मौत से पहले किसी ग़म से बचाना हो
हक़ीक़त और थी कुछ उस को जा के ये बताना हो
हमेशा देर कर देता हूँ मैं हर काम करने में
