  • Hope by Srishti Verma
    Do you remember in Shawshank Redemption, Andy wrote a letter to Red saying, “Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things and no good thing ever dies?” Hope has the power to overcome all obstacles. It is easiest to have hope when things are going well in your life. It’s when life gets complex that we need hope the most
    -------
    I know things aren't going your way
    Of course, you sometimes feel isolated. Uncertain and scared.
    Just know that if good things aren’t happening now
    It doesn’t mean it never will
    Of all the planets, of all the countries,
    Of all the people, “you,”
    You must understand there is more
    At the end of the rope.
    So just hold onto hope a little longer
    Hold until the wild wind passes
    Because on the other side
    there will be flowers that only you can pick, butterflies only you can see, and dreams only you can achieve
    My friend Its going to be bigger than you thought
    You’re going to be happier than you imagined
    Just hold onto the hope until you see
    A magnificent divine ray of light.

  • Insecurities by Srishti Verma

    Everyone deals with insecurity from time to time. It can appear in all areas of life. It's normal to have down days

    Often,

    I fear, worry and self-doubt.

    Questions like Am I good enough,

    Am I doing enough

    Am I worthy

    strikes on my door heavily, making me insecure

    Until one day, my brave self knocked on that door and said:

    This perfection you crave is a disguise for insecurity

    Don’t let perceptions of others

    Dictate your reality or cause insecurities within self

    Just be you, regardless of your trophies or insecurities.

    You’re a dose of sunshine and glitter

    Just decide to live, love, and be deliriously happy from this moment forward.

    From that minute, I turned my Insecurities into strength

    Because I am Smart,

    Talented and Pretty enough.

    All my fears, worries, and that perfection I craved

    Were nothing but disguise for insecurity

    Just decide to live, love, and be deliriously happy from this moment forward.

  • Good Timber by Douglas Malloch

    In life, we are given trials. We can either be stricken down by them or become strong and grow because of them them. The poem talks about how people, like trees, grow and reach their true potential by overcoming adversity. It is through struggles, like a tree fighting through forest growth, to reach the sun, that we grow and discover our true potential.

    The tree that never had to fight

         For sun and sky and air and light,
    But stood out in the open plain
         And always got its share of rain,
    Never became a forest king
         But lived and died a scrubby thing.

    The man who never had to toil
         To gain and farm his patch of soil,
    Who never had to win his share
         Of sun and sky and light and air,
    Never became a manly man
         But lived and died as he began.

    Good timber does not grow with ease,
         The stronger wind, the stronger trees,
    The further sky, the greater length,
         The more the storm, the more the strength.
    By sun and cold, by rain and snow,
         In trees and men good timbers grow.

    Where thickest lies the forest growth
         We find the patriarchs of both.
    And they hold counsel with the stars
         Whose broken branches show the scars
    Of many winds and much of strife.
         This is the common law of life.
    - Douglas Malloch

  • Daffodils by William Wordsworth

    Ep 3: Close your eyes and visualise as I recite Daffodils by William Wordsworth.

    I wandered lonely as a cloud

    That floats on high o'er vales and hills,

    When all at once I saw a crowd,

    A host, of golden daffodils;

    Beside the lake, beneath the trees,

    Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

    Continuous as the stars that shine

    And twinkle on the milky way,

    They stretched in never-ending line

    Along the margin of a bay:

    Ten thousand saw I at a glance,

    Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

    The waves beside them danced; but they

    Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:

    A poet could not but be gay,

    In such a jocund company:

    I gazed—and gazed—but little thought

    What wealth the show to me had brought:

    For oft, when on my couch I lie

    In vacant or in pensive mood,

    They flash upon that inward eye

    Which is the bliss of solitude;

    And then my heart with pleasure fills,

    And dances with the daffodils.

  • 630 Frames by Srishti Verma

    630 frames is a metaphor being used in this poem, meaning being different than self and trying to fit in. Here's the transcript of the poem: 

    After 630 frames, 

    Now I'm accepting myself It has taken time, many years, people and  630 frames.

    Dripping with self-love, Trusting the greatest power,

    Withdrawing and prioritizing my need for the solitude and my higher self.

    It purely took the wisdom, the faith & the virtue of letting go.

    Now, it's finally the time to accept. 

    After 630 frames,

    I'm accepting myself It has taken time, many years, people and  630 frames.

  • Stopping by Woods by Robert Frost

    Hey guys! In this experimental podcast, I am reciting one of my favourite poem by Robert Frost- Stopping by woods. Sit back and relax!

    Whose woods these are I think I know.

    His house is in the village though;

    He will not see me stopping here

    To watch his woods fill up with snow.

    My little horse must think it queer

    To stop without a farmhouse near

    Between the woods and frozen lake

    The darkest evening of the year.

    He gives his harness bells a shake

    To ask if there is some mistake.

    The only other sound’s the sweep

    Of easy wind and downy flake.

    The woods are lovely, dark and deep,

    But I have promises to keep,

    And miles to go before I sleep,

    And miles to go before I sleep.

    -Robert Frost
