Archive June, 2013. The message said “. No wonder you drove D away. 8221; It stung. It cut her like a knife. It angers her. She too could be so heartless. She was capable of it. She could think of similar nasty comments to make. But she stopped. She decided to be the better person. All she said was “. Did she drive him away? The memories smother her. She felt dizzy. There seemed to be no air around her. Did he not understand that she looked up to him? Did he not see that he was her pillar of strengh?

Archive August, 2013. Liberate…………. In the corner she sits crouched. Her hands cling around her knees. She rocks back and forth. She is sobbing loud hot tears. They stream down her face. She cannot hear herself think. She talks to God. She begs – “liberate me”. Over and over she repeats those words and prays. Her soul was trapped again. It was love that had imprisoned her. It crippled her. Her love for him went unrequited. He did not feel the same. He could not feel the same. He r...She gave her all to i...

Archive August, 2014. Just give me a reason…. She heard herself say that she had to make sure she struck a conversation with him. She wanted to make sure she would be noticed and most of all remembered. Looking back- she did not know why she had that urge. They say people come into our lives for a reason, a season or a lifetime. And so she wondered was he a reason- to help her heal and find hope and happiness? Or was he a season- to walk her through a lonely phase in her life? It left her lost! A reason ...

Archive June, 2015. Keep Calm….she brought a boy home! I reach the peak of my patience. I slap her and say “now you can drama and say I abused you”. She says – “I am leaving and storms out of the house. My husband, her step father follows her until she reaches the door steps of my parents home, a 15 minute walk away. What if people say things? How can we trust any boy? And so, growing up, I never revealed my guy friends to my parents. My daughter had told me days earlier that she was inviting friends ove...

The Everest beckons…… | ChilliPaddy
https://norlizakhan.wordpress.com/2014/02/22/the-everest-beckons
The Everest beckons……. I open my eyes and see the sun emerging. I walk out to the balcony of my room and am mesmerised with the view. The sun rising. The Himalayas in the distance. The snow capped Everest stands visibly looming over the valley below. The view takes my breath away. And so with a hope to find an answer I land in Kathmandu with a dear friend of mine. In the days that followed we visited many temples. Buddhist temples that practice Buddhism the Tibetan way. Buddhist temples that ...It was he...

When Death Comes Knocking………. They say life and death are the two things certain in life. How we live our life will define our death. As a famous Indian proverb goes- When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life so that when you die, the world cries and you rejoice. For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one. The Everest beckons……. Soon after, I reached a point in my life where I often question about religion. God I believed in. God I loved. But ...And so wi...

Archive November, 2013. My sudden urge to sacrifise my precious day off was as a result of a phase that I was going through. It was a soul search. A need to find the meaning of life and existence. My existence. I felt that there was something lacking in my life and so I decided that maybe feeding the poor would fill that void in my soul. 8221; and I wonder, why has God not blessed these poor people. What have they done to live a meaningless life. Sadly I wondered why was God seemingly cruel? And he said:...
