This is a new idea I am trying out. These are small snippets I have written over the time and I thought of sharing it here through Picturesque Soul. I will be sharing images of whatever I have written and I would love your input on this new idea. Do let me know how you like it.

Connection: Art and Us

It's amazing how an artist can make someone feel. The power over people's emotions.

For a writer. It's like..

"Their words, our thoughts."

A musician,

"Their music, our heart strings."

A painter,

"Their strokes, our emotions."

It's these things that run through our minds when we come across artists. 

Because that's what they do, they connect with us with their Art!

They don't need to meet someone to connect with their deepest darkest thoughts.

Thus the magic of Art.

Midnight Demons

Late night thoughts are the scariest! 
The way your mind wonders and dives into your deepest darkest fear is horrifying.
It eats you,consumes you, claws at you.
Makes you want to cry and laugh at the same time.
Or just pull your hair out.
You start asking all these questions which shake your being.
Where are you heading in life? What are you doing? What does the future hold? Will you just be alone all your life ? Or stuck in this same old rut?
Sooo many freaking questions with no answers.
Driving you insane.
You want to just shut down and sleep but the ramblings and the tug of war in your mind just keeps on getting louder and stronger making it impossible to close your eyes.
Sometimes your own mind becomes your worse enemy.
Making you wish to be numb with no feelings and emotions.
Somedays the night you love becomes the night you abhor.

Fraction of a second

It takes fraction of a second,

For a frown to turn into a smile.

A fraction of a second ,

To make a bad day good.

Your whole world could turn upside down,
In this fraction of a second.

A win or a loss sometimes just depends on that fraction of a second 

Yet how insignificant and irrelevant
this fraction of a second seems to us.

We still underestimate it. 

The power of time is sometimes lost. 

It's not just hours and minutes it's every second which counts in our lives.
So lets make every second count.
Lets cherish and live it completely.
Otherwise we might just lose some of the most important things in our life in that second.

Love,
Tamanna

The sour that might taste like sweet

Tree of Life

Recently when I was having a conversation with a friend, the topic of hospitals sprang up. And it dawned upon me that the immediate response to it is, "Oh, I hate them." or "They are soo depressing." And they are all right, it truly gets depressing there. The death, the illness and the sadness that prevails in the hospitals gets to us. It rarely seems like a happy place. Sometimes the only time anyone feels happy there is when they get to know they are soon getting out of there.

 But like everything in this world there are two sides to the coin. Along all the death, suffering and illness hand in hand also hope and glimpses of happiness exist.It is the place where two people experience the first joys of parenthood. A place where a child is soo happy seeing his grandparents getting all well. Teaching them to fight through tough times. Or even the relief and happiness that rushes through a doctor after saving a life. That feeling is indescribable.

 I still remember the day my brother was born. Going to meet him in the hospital was a different feeling altogether. The tiny human in front of me made me soo happy.. holding those tiny hands! It was another level of happiness.

But keeping the good and bad aside, it also enlightens us to the smaller things in life, the basic importance of life as well because hospitals make us come face to face with the reality of life.  How we all being so busy in our daily life and cribbing about everything we forget the amazing gift we have.
   The gift of  'good health and life.'

We are so ignorant towards it, taking it all for granted that we don't care for our health on many occasions. Neglecting it and later regretting it. Letting small things turn into disasters due to that.
  We need to realise that this is IT. This is the only life we have. So we better start taking care of it dearly and realise how life isn't permanent.

Muse

Some people come in your life
And they end up inspiring you.
You inspired those words that I pen down.
The thoughts that mingle my mind.

-Tamanna



I don't know how true it is for everyone but I feel everyone has that one person who inspires them in life ,who leads them to do things differently. They may inspire how you live your life or your writing or your art. :) That muse in our lives! :)

Share it with people who inspire you and let them know :)

Fading Friendships

You know something?
I'm sure you don't,
I had fallen in love with our friendship.
It was divine,
Bliss,
Everything and more.
Those endless pools of talks,
Sharing our fears and love,
Those caring moments,
Thoughtfulness.
I fell in love with our friendship,
Which was beyond any relationship,
Beyond words,beyond explanation.
Something soo beautiful,
That it left an imprint in my heart. 

-Tamanna



My last post being on how friendships are soo important in our lives , how they effect our happiness in soo many ways. Well here is the sad but true part of friendships. The part where these things fade away where over the time we lose friends and in process sometimes lose bits and pieces of us here and there. Growing up has had these downsides to it. We change, we grow apart and we move on. But we can never truly forget all of those friendships once we had :)
