    I am in search of inspiration for my next story.I go to Kensington Market to find it. Vintage is a hub of all forgotten stories, And I love uncovering those hidden gems. Kensington Market is the perfect place to find hidden gems. I take a stroll along Kensington Avenue. There are dozens of vintage shops along the street. I take the time to browse each of them. I am fascinated by the stories of the past. Flapper dresses, mink coats, purses, necklaces, bracelets, jewelry boxes, candle holders, chandeliers, old magazines, portraits from other times. Each of the items from the vintage market tells a story. I love imagining those stories. A Fendi bag in one of the vintage shops calls my name. It may be some decades old, but it’s still in good shape. I think of the woman who wore it and loved it before me. Her name was

    Red leaves on the ground.Summer leaving, Seasons changing, Fall coming. Sixty days of hot summer in the country of the maple tree, And now it’s mid-September, And today is the last day of summer. My darling, beautiful, adored summer, Where are you going? I don’t want you to leave. I’m not ready to let you go just yet. I still want to hold your hands, Hug you tight, Kiss your peachy cheeks, Caress your flowing hair. I still want us to wear floral dresses, Run with our bare feet on the beach, Swim in the blue sea. I want us to watch the moon and the stars While lying down on the soft sand. I want us to go with the car windows open And listen to loud music while on the road. I want you to sing along with me. I want you to be my be

  • POEM: The Last Phone Call... 92

    • 18-09-2023 02:40

    I called my mother on an early spring day to ask her how she was.She wasn’t feeling well, And I didn’t keep her on the phone for too long. I just wanted to hear her voice, Then I went about my day. And she went about hers. Or so I thought. In fact, it was her last day. Hours later, I got the phone call. The one that said it had been her last day. She is in a better place now. I kept replaying the phone conversation from the morning in my head. Thank God for that last phone call!!! I will cherish the memory of that phone conversation forever. Had I not called my mother that day, I would have regretted it for the rest of my life. The feeling of guilt would have never left me. I got to say the last goodbye. I will always love you Mom. The last phone call.

  • Amazing Toronto... 124

    Last week I attended a TIFF related event downtown Toronto. Every time when I go downtown, I see the City of Toronto with new eyes and it inspires me in new ways. I love photographing it to death, and I always do when I get a chance. This time was no exception. It was a gourgeous sunny perfectly cloudless day, and I took a few shots on Front Street West where I attended the event. I would like to share some of those pictures in my today's essay, I also shared them on Instagram a few days ago. Enjoy!

    My bookshelf is my retreat.It’s what brings me solace and comfort every day. I show love to my books every day. I love spending time with them, Browsing through them, Making the next reading list for my nightstand. I love keeping my bookshelf in pristine and impeccable order. Each tome holds its orderly place on the shelf, Following the alphabet, Just like in a library. There are two alphabetical rows for my books. One for the books that I have read and loved, And one for those that I am yet to read and love. The books, once read, Take a supporting seat in the back of the shelf. And those that are yet to delight me with their stories Are in the honorary front row, Until their turn comes to join me in my reading nook. It may not look like a rainbow, But it makes the best reading sense to

    I hope you are all enjoying the long weekend! It's the Labour Day long weekend in Canada, the last one this summer before school starts next week. I didn't plan for any faraway traveling over this weekend, but I will go out to sightsee some of my local attractions during this long weekend that I haven't seen yet.  I also took a few days off from work, so this in fact will be an extralong weekend for me, till next Wesnesday, when I attend a fashion event downtown Toronto, in the wake of TIFF -- Toronto International Film Festival, which starts next week. In fact, I do it every year, I take a mini-vacation at the beginning of September (two more days after the long weekend), to attend said fashion event which is an annual occurence and takes place downtown Toronto one day before TIFF starts. And so every year I consider it to be my last summer vacation, and that last Wednesday when I attend this fashion event is my last summer day. My fall this year will start next Th

  • POEM: If a Writer Falls in Love with You... 86

    • Moda
    • 02-09-2023 02:55

    Someone once said,If a writer falls in love with you, you can never die. This saying couldn’t be truer. Through the power of words, A writer immortalizes her beloved in the realm of literature. A writer’s love for him extends beyond the edges of mortality, Capturing his essence in prose and poetry. When a writer is captivated by someone, Her words breathe life into the pages, Preserving his legacy for eternity. When a writer falls in love, She becomes an alchemist of emotions, Transmuting fleeting moments into timeless art. Every glance, every touch, and every shared experience is etched into the depths of her being, Waiting to be translated into words. The writer’s love becomes the ink that flows through her pen, As she delicately paints a vivid portrait of her muse. As time passes,
