Some years back, I went on a travel,a poetic path full of words gravel.Some ideas to unfurl and unravel,a desire to channel and thoughts ravel.Never did I think so much time will pass,And I would so much affection amass,Friends and family’s compliments would surpass,All expectations of an amateur lass.... https://masticadoresusa.wordpress.com/2024/06/22/poetic-path-by-shalini-kathuria-narang/

From appearances and achievements, To offsprings and occupations, We all have fallen prey to unhealthy competition, One of the worst amongst human affliction. Why is this habit-an easy bait? And such a destructive and debilitating trait? Besides creating a recurring restless state, It dissipates relations and friendships at a fast rate. How does one keep … Continue reading Comparison
You might see a six, when I see a nine, Should this be a cause to draw a line? Perspectives can differ between yours and mine, Life offers a smorgasbord to wine and dine.

Life is beyond white and black, As it exists on myriad rack, where facts and feelings stack. Restricting to binary elements is a thinking lack, Looking beyond obvious is essential, Since growth … Continue reading Your Way And My Way
On a recent birthday, While collecting wishes from near and away, Amidst nature’s wonders in full sway, I ruminated about life and its way(s). Getting older has many benefit, Rear view mirror shows so many gift, Decades of memories are a mood lift or shift, People, places and pretexts-so much to which one can adrift. … Continue reading Getting Older and Maybe Wiser
