A Letter to the Voice in my Head


Hey little voice in my head,

I want to talk to you, yes you my dear friend! I’ve been hearing your constant chitter-chatter and wanted to tell you that I have my own voice!

You are of course my source of inner strength, you help me to overcome obstacles and give me the power of positive thinking and even self-love. Without you, I wouldn't have this much perseverance so I owe quite a lot to you, my friend.

Nonetheless I have to say that despite all of this, most of the times you tell me that I’m not good enough. This hurts! You invariably work up battles up in my head, that certain people are up against me and that I may never ever get appreciated!

Life is full of changes and I am growing every day, but you my inner voice – you’re constantly criticizing me. You are so important for my self-growth and I don't want to hate you nor do I even want to push your voice back; resist you and fight you. You are a great friend, but just take it easy on me at times; I know your harsh words help me win my inner battle.

I hope you understand me better because I really understand you. I just want you to be a bit kinder, maybe a bit softer. Maybe then we can work together better?

Thank You

Writing has been my passion for over 18 years so when I heard about the Writing Retreat that screenwriter, brand consultant and former creative director of Ogilvy - Bhavna Kher was going to conduct I was immediately interested in attending the same.     Not only this but I also wanted to connect with other writers and also sharpen my writing skills as well. It was a perfect opportunity to find inspiration within a focused environment.  Moreover, the 4-day writing retreat, (September 14- September 18th) which was conducted at a luxury boutique resort provided the perfect break from city life, and mindfully focused on sharpening one’s writing skills.  Having our independent quarters, we were surrounded by thickets of trees, within a lush mango orchard on the fringes of the Sasan Gir forest.

Exploring Sifar: A Tale of War and Humanity

   A play produced by Shabd Theatre Group, Sifar is a Hindi play written and directed by  Sachin Malvi, which is based on the Syrian war. It recently made its debut at NCPA theatre on 1st December 2024.    The play takes place in Damascus (the capital of Syria) and depicts all these characters adapting to chaos and demonstrating resilience.  Taking place in Damascus adds a layer of authenticity to the story as this  city has witnessed immense  destruction.   The play portrays the struggles of different individuals who are trying to rebuild their lives amidst the ongoing devastation. Named after an Arabic word that means zero or nothingness, the title symbolises the hollow emptiness left after the war while also representing hope for new beginnings.    Many overlapping stories of different people’s lives blend poetic scenes and theoretical storytelling. The play showcases the indomitable human spirit and emphasises dreams, love,...
