When the Mind Feels Too Quiet

Today my thoughts feel like they are stuck in traffic. I sat down to write my daily blog, but all I could do was stare at the blank page. Have I lost my thinking? Or is my mind just taking a break without asking me? My routine is the same as usual. There are no major setbacks, no sudden changes, nothing dramatic to explain this strange emptiness.

On paper, life should feel exciting. I just got selected for a six-day training program at CIT, Coimbatore. It’s a good opportunity, something I should celebrate. But instead of feeling content, I am questioning myself. Why isn’t this making me happy? Why does my mind feel so flat when something positive has happened?

Maybe this is what happens when the routine becomes too predictable. The days blend into each other, and even good news gets swallowed by the monotony. Or maybe it’s just one of those days when the heart and mind refuse to sync.

As I write this, I realize that this blog isn’t about achievements or routines. It’s about admitting that some days are quiet inside, even when life outside is moving. And maybe that’s okay. Maybe the mind needs these pauses, these small gaps of silence, to find its next story.

For now, I’ll let this be my blog a simple confession of a wandering mind. No big words, no forced excitement. Just honesty. Tomorrow, maybe the thoughts will flow again. Or maybe they won’t. But today, this is enough.

Let Me Sleep, Not to Dream....

     Some nights, I don’t want answers I just want silence. Not the kind filled with buzzing thoughts, but the deep, weightless stillness that John Keats writes about in “To Sleep.” His lines feel less like poetry and more like a whisper to the weary .      Keats doesn’t glorify sleep as a dreamy escape filled with fantasies. Instead, he sees it as a quiet refuge from the noise of life. I remember one night, after back-to-back classes and an unexpected family argument, I sat by my window, emotionally exhausted. No words, no energy just the weight of being awake. That night, I opened Keats. His line, “Seal the hushed casket of my soul,” made me close my eyes. For once, I wasn’t trying to sleep. I was inviting it in like an old friend.      I’ve often found that poetry meets us where no one else can . Keats understood that some days feel too loud, too real. And what we need isn’t escape, but a pause a gentle covering of all that aches. His...

From Questions to Acceptance: The Quiet Strength Within

Today, I began writing my blog not with clarity, but with a curious uncertainty. I didn’t know where to start or what to write. Once, I was filled with questions. I constantly asked: How? Where? When? Why? What? These questions shaped my journey, my identity, my hunger to understand the world. But something changed. I’ve stopped asking. I’ve begun accepting. Life has slowly revealed its quiet wisdom to me not in answers, but in acceptance. I no longer seek explanations for everything around me. I no longer expect people to explain themselves, prove themselves, or live up to my vision of who they should be. Why should they? Everyone is walking their own path. It’s not my responsibility to evaluate their pace, their truth, or their struggle. I’ve learned not to expect, not to demand, not to act out of pressure or illusion. Instead, I’ve chosen to receive what life brings openly, peacefully. “I don’t expect, so I don’t act. I just accept.” That is my mantra now. I’ve found that ac...

When Hope Sings Softly Within !!!

     There are times in life when everything outside falls silent, dreams are delayed, plans fall apart, and people we trust walk away. Yet, even in such silence, I’ve felt something quietly fluttering within me a small, unwavering voice that says, “Move forward.” Emily Dickinson’s poem “Hope is the Thing with Feathers” captures that feeling so perfectly. She compares hope to a bird that perches in our soul, singing wordlessly through the fiercest storms.      What struck me most is how Dickinson says this bird “never stops at all.” That line stayed with me. In my own life, when I felt lost after rejections, personal losses, or simply long nights filled with doubt, I didn’t always have someone to lean on. But this soft inner song remained. It never asked for anything in return. Just like Dickinson’s bird, hope never demanded food, praise, or reward. It just kept singing.      I’ve learned that true hope doesn’t come from external success o...
