My sonnet in solitude
















An old anecdote from my diary.

When you were very near,
Never did I feel any fear
Loving you is my duty
for it made me very happy.
I wished you to be beside me
so I would see no one besides you
Solitude was very painful
though hard to be very cheerful;
Happiness came in a glimpse
and ordeals came in tons
When I was heartless
For life seemed mirthless;
Yonder I saw a smile
welcoming me into life

Solitude is something we all carry from birth to death.

Hi ,

I was reading ur blog posts and found some of them to be very good.. u write well.. Why don't you popularize it more.. ur posts on ur blog ‘Thought Snaps’ took my particular attention as some of them are interesting topics of mine too;

BTW I help out some ex-IIMA guys who with another batch mate run www.rambhai.com where you can post links to your most loved blog-posts. Rambhai was the chaiwala at IIMA and it is a site where users can themselves share links to blog posts etc and other can find and vote on them. The best make it to the homepage!

This way you can reach out to rambhai readers some of whom could become your ardent fans.. who knows.. :)

Cheers,
