Description: The image has 5 elements. The elements which are quintessential to living. Truly. Some courage. Some belief. A little art. A little indulgence. The past hurt. The healing. New hope. More courage. To goodbyes and new beginnings. Mediocrity doesn't scare me all too much. So I share with you my prose and perhaps poetry in a mix of hindi and english. This is a self expression project. I'm happy to let you in. Maybe you could relate too :)
