About This Author
My name is Joy, and I love to write. Why poetry, here? Because poetry uplifts its writer, and if she is lucky enough, her readers, too. Around us, so many objects abound to write about. Once a poet starts with a smallest, most trivial object, he shall discover that his pen will spill out what is most delicate or most majestic hidden inside him. Since the classics sometimes dealt with lofty subjects with a lofty language, a person with poetry in his soul may incline to emulate that. That is understandable. Poetry does that to a person: it enlarges the soul and gives it wings. Yet, to really soar, a poet needs to take off from the ground. Kiya's gift. I love it!

Joy in Life and Books
Prompt: "If you're not having a good time, find something else that gives you joy in life." Penny Marshall Do you agree with this?

---

Who wouldn’t agree with Penny Marshall? Her saying is making a pact with my unsaid motto, which is~~there is always a way out, or else, find another road to follow.~~

Whatever it is that isn’t giving us a personal satisfaction, preventing our momentum in life, or we are going through a dry spell with what we do, we can always go past it by replacing it with something else that we like to do.

To do this, it is always a good idea to cultivate different interests in different areas. This way, if need be, we’ll have a wide choice of things to do and like.

As they say, why flog a dead horse!

Prompt: In the winter, she curls up with a good book and dreams away the cold. What is your take on this?

---

Winter can be the actual time when cold weather descends upon us or it can also be the time when nothing seems to work for us. A good book, a book that we may like to lose ourselves in, has always been the answer for me.

Even without the winters of my life, I have always loved to live with books and to live inside them. Through the books, I travel to distant places, even imaginary ones, find other cultures, and learn to peek into the people’s psyches. What can be better than that!
