A rhyme a day to keep my blues at bay

Creative Quilling DIY Handmade cards for any occasion This holiday season I've taken up a new hobby, something I'd always wanted to try and wondered if I'd be successful at. I'm a fan of designing unique things to add on to gifts to give that special personal touch to whatever you choose to gift any time of the season.  A personal handmade item goes a long way considering the time, creativity and effort it takes to make one of these speaks for itself about your feelings towards the recipient of this gift. How to go about this? Well it's fairly simple! All you need is a DIY quilling kit available readily at any stationary or toy store.  My dear brother played Santa and on Christmas day and bought me a basic creative quilling kit for Christmas which I had a blast with. All you need to do is just twirl colorful paper strips into whatever shapes your heart desires and voila you have a unique way to give a special message for any occasion.    

Ever since I’ve visited the Star wars page on the HP website  with the specifications of the HP limited edition notebook, I really wish I get an opportunity to own this fabulous beast of a machine and make use of all the amazing features it boasts of. Being a poet and a writer of children’s stories I’m sure this limited edition notebook will be the perfect inspiration and will push me in the direction of achieving my long standing dream and fulfill my destiny – writing sci-fi stories for children with interactive digital graphic content.

I was very keen to read this book as this was the first time one of my favorite authors had chosen intrigue in romance as his subject. Beneath the title of the book are three words that describe the book and its story very aptly- Love, Betrayal and Redemption; the three classic ingredients of a great story. When a best-selling writer of thrillers chooses love as his subject the story is sure to be a thrilling one with lots of twists and turns which will leave you guessing till the end.  Ravi’s latest book did not disappoint for a second. I was hooked and could not put down the book and read it through the course of a day. I’m not going to give you the entire story and spoil your fun but what I’d really like to do is give

Every infinitesimal emotion Straight from the heart Inked onto eternity Poem  © Vyomi Malik

The huge oak twelve seater dining table in the kitchen, was covered with unwrapped presents, stockings, small cookie boxes, colorful cupcakes and sheets of wrapping paper. From time to time, Neha looked out of the window to watch the neighbor's children building a snowman in their garden.  The snow had fallen last night and had covered everything in sight with a soft white carpet. Tiny festive lights, big bright stars a top huge Christmas trees sparkled from every house in their tourist hill town located on the foot hills of the Himalayas. “Mum can we go and play with Simran and Rohan please”, Neha asked excited getting up and leaving the presents she was wrapping.  “Oh Beta! Only a few hours are left for the Christmas Eve party. There is so much work to do. I really need both of you to help me” smiled Mum. While Neha wrapped each present carefully, her brother Mohan stuffed it

Strawberries and Cream The desert of dreams If the strawberries are sour You favourite desert how will you devour? Especially if added sugar is a no Keeping yourself away from deserts is life’s biggest woe But thanks to the manna from heaven Your life can be sweetened Substituting sugar for Sugar free And not missing out on anything sweet is the best won’t you agree?   Poem  © Vyomi Malik Come winter and it’s time for one of the most colourful and well-loved fruits to hit the market- strawberries.   From roadside vendors to supermarkets, everyplace seem to be flooded with this beautiful fruit. For some people strawberries are their favourite fruits which they wait the entire year for. If they are sweet, devouring them is sheer delight.   One of my most loved desserts which can be made in a jiffy by anyone (really- even if you’ve never cooked anything in your life and hate anything to do with) is strawberries and cream in a jar.

The old adage- The home is where the heart is holds true for each of us when it comes to talk about your most loved city in any respect. When asked about my most loved city, Delhi- the capital of our country, where my family has been based for most of our lives would surely be on the top of the list. While every city has its low points and its great features, Delhi’s drive, design and connect are unique in many ways and it is truly a city made of great #madeofgreat just like the Tata motor’s campaign http://madeofgreat.tatamotors.com/ Connect is something that epitomizes Delhi.
