What if you have a place which is full
of all your favorite things in life?
What if in one plate you could find
every food you like? Every taste you love?
What if before consuming it you had no
idea how good it could be and then you get addicted?
What if a routine day turns into
something extraordinary just by a few lines?
What if a few lines written by someone
else becomes your expressions?
What if you could feel the pain of a
stranger only by a peep in her world?
What if you could laugh with someone
only by a glance at her joy?
What if someone opens a new world to you just by writing a few lines?
All this and many more is what I have
found in the blog that I am sharing with you today. The blogger is a good
friend, I love her work and I couldn’t think of any other blog to talk about
but her’s.
Here’s introducing the musings of a
not so confused gal “Pankti Mehta and her blog”
Pankti has a way with words. Words in
her world flow magically. You never know when you leave your world and become a
part of hers. You don’t feel the journey, you just see the destination. You
live her stories.
Mind you some of her stories would
break your heart in a thousand pieces. I have cried with her characters. There
is a dark side to her as a writer that appeals to me the most. She is a brilliant
story teller. Her stories are full of charisma, allure, love, pain and hope.
Let me tell you about the story that I
like the most from her work. It is story from a different land “Industrious
Land”. Story of Lali a girl from Industrious land and Himank a prince of snooze
land. This story will transport you into a different time. I felt a part of it
though it is strangely impossible to relate to it, yet the emotions are weaved
in such that you won’t notice the strangeness of things. That is what the
writer does. She convinces you of something that you could never imagine or
dream of.
You can read the full story here.
Next I would like to share something else that
I love from her work. From the story of a strange land to the story of Simmi
and Arpit which she is presenting as a series. It is called "For you". I have read few parts of the
story and I loved the simplicity of it. Again I ended being a part of the story
and could feel Simmi’s confusion and pain. When she was attracted to Arpit, I
felt the attraction. When her heart broke, so did mine. I am hoping Simmi finds
her solace in the story.
You can read it here.
I earlier spoke about connecting with
the dark side of her. Let me share with you few words from a beautiful poem
written by her. This is a poem I absolutely love. So much that I remember it by
heart.
I am broken but alive,
Living and breathing,
Not cold and dead.
I may be beaten, but still I will fight,
I may yield but still I will stand straight,
I may get hurt but still I will hold my head high.
To defeat me, you will have to kill me,
Until then, I am broken but alive.
Living and breathing.
Living and breathing,
Not cold and dead.
I may be beaten, but still I will fight,
I may yield but still I will stand straight,
I may get hurt but still I will hold my head high.
To defeat me, you will have to kill me,
Until then, I am broken but alive.
Living and breathing.
I leave you munching on these lines
and I hope, rather I am sure there is something in her writing that will
connect with you. And I am sure you will love her work as much as I do.
And last but not least I am really
proud to share with you that Pankti is going to be a published author soon. Her
most celebrated work will be soon available in the form of a novella. Something
that I am looking forward to quite eagerly.
