The Quote Challenge #1

Image
By
I have been tagged by a blogger friend, Vinay Leo R. from I Rhyme Without Reason for ''The Quote Challenge''. I will share a quote from my favorite book or a quote from my favorite author for three days consecutively in a blog post and tag my friends to be part of this challenge. I would like to tag Maniparna of Scattered Thoughts, Purba of Laugh, laugh and reflect and Tennyson Thomas from The Tea Celebration(s)

''Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull of what you really love. It will not lead you astray.'' - Rumi 
I greatly follow Rumi's sayings and one of them is, the one I have shared above. His thoughts come from deep roots of various emotions- Hope, happiness, sorrow, helplessness and admiration. Dad and I often debate on doing things based on 'what I love' and 'what I don't love but do it anyway'. I always take my heart's call for things I really like and I rebel. My parents were worried because of my interest in literature over Science and they were against to let me opt it for my higher studies. I had a tough time convincing my parents 'but the strange pull of what I really love' didn't let me lose heart and hope. I am happy that I am actually implementing over it. And I am sure, it will never lead me astray.

    That's actually true. I'm very glad that you are able to convince your parents. For me, it was very tough, so I chose the other way. To follow my heart, and to make my parents happy!

    Nice, quote from Rumi and I am so glad you follow it in life...
    I recently read a book by Elif Shafak "Forty Rules of Love" it was through this book that I learnt much about Rumi and Shams of Tabrez.

Jia, with her earnest brown eyes, was watching outside through a window glass. She was mesmerized to spot a peacock dancing beautifully on the terrace of a distant building. She saw a crowd standing outside under the cafe roof, waiting for the rain to stop and so that they could continue to walk toward their respective destinations. Jia was a sensitive child and mature beyond an eight year old. There were two kinds of people she found standing under the roof. Some of them were silent and calm enjoying the pleasant rains, like her. Whereas, others were despite being strangers were friendly enough to start a conversation for a while. Jia could see them smiling, exchanging numbers. Maybe they ...

‘Love is a two way street: Love your hair and it loves you back''

By
The beauty of hairs Attracts and capture the attention of every stare, But it is hard to nourish and to give proper care Busy schedule and outings makes them dull and shiny rare, My beauty is evading away... I'm aware! Nothing is with me that can sooth me or do fair justice with my thin hairs Then I recapitulated the famous saying:  ''Love is a two way street: Love your hair and it loves you back'' Searching all around I found the trustworthy Dove, I pampered my hairs and said, don’t worry now it's Dove for you to love, And the day I started this beautiful journey of Dove's Love, I found a brand new day waiting for me to see my true colors of pulchritude  Embraced me within its charm and defined me with a unique personality! Restoring the softness It nourished my dry hairs, Now my hairs fall very rare, They can feel the fresh air, Dove lengthen my hairs  With eternal shine and strength  Though I don't have much time for my hairs But hav...
