PERSONAL STORIES, QUOTES THAT INSPIRE, TOP-LINERS

My 10 Favorite Quotes

104 Comments

Happy Monday everyone! (Umm.. Disregarding the “Monday Blues” obviously!)

Doubtlessly referring to inspirational quotes has always resonated with me. No matter how pleasing or awful my day has been, I always come back home to Instagram and Pinterest – for some inspiring words and motivational quotes (to be instantly uplifted!) It is interesting to know that “words” have so much power and fuel in them! From a “discouraged-pessimistic state of mind” to a “cheerful-motivated mood” – WORDS, for sure are magical and healing in their own ways!

“Words are pale shadows of forgotten names. As names have power, words have power. Words can light fires in the minds of men. Words can wring tears from the hardest hearts.” 
― Patrick Rothfuss, The Name of the Wind

Here are some of the quotes that have been inspiring me lately. I hope they galvanize you too!

With bloodied cadavers and decaying corpses skewed around the Safe Zone, 
this is the apocalypse that the mortals foresaw.

The robots have seized the world and the society has crumbled - no governments, 
no armies, no humans, no life.

You see, the doe-eyed V.I.K.I.(Virtual Interactive Kinetic Intelligence),
detested being called a "Tin Man!"

MY TRAVEL DIARIES, PERSONAL STORIES

Lucky Cat Ramen

71 Comments

Hey everyone! I hope y’all are doing great!

Here we go again folks – I am back with my sightseeing antics and reviews on restaurants and eating joints! *woot woot*
Well, when you are restricted to the confines of your own town (thanks to my Huz’s busy work schedule), and an “enjoyable-extended vacation” seems like a far sight, you make the best of what you’ve got by canvassing the city, “hunting” down the “popular” places to eat – one at time! *a foodie’s gotta do what she gotta do*

Our exploration of the town got us to a “small wonder” called – Lucky Cat Ramen – one of the best “ramen” spots here in Memphis!
Brain-child of Zach Nicholson and Sarah Pardee, the success of Lucky Cat can be doubtlessly credited to the delectable ramen bowls that range from traditional to creative – Tan Tan, Miso Pork, Yuzu Veggie. Starting just as a humble food truck initially, to graduating to a regular “pop-up” at City & State, Lucky Cat got so famous with time, that the owners eventually decided to go all “brick and mortar! “(News flash – Their new permanent “upscale” restaurant is coming up in Crosstown Concourse building, soonish!)
Currently functioning out of 247 Cooper Street, Memphis, this was a discovery that me and my Huz would return back to time and again! *slurp*

Food/Drinks ordered – 2 bowls of YUZU VEGGIE  and  2 fully loaded VEGGIE BAO BUNS.

Hey Everyone! I hope y’all are doing wonderful!

Welcome to Terri’s Photo Challenge : Sunday Stills. Yet another day, another exciting prompt and a “perfect” WPC substitution!

This week’s theme is “PLANTS” and in all honesty it was a tough choice to pick a few out of the zillion “flora” photos that I have. On the brighter side, it was such a kaleidoscopic walk down the memory lane! *ah, nature*
Presenting to you all some “photographic memories” of plants from the iScriblr’s vault.

QUOTES THAT INSPIRE, REAL TALK

Failure, My Friend!

Hey Everyone! I hope y’all are having a great day. It’s time to kill the blues with some Real Talk and MOTIVATION!

FAILURE – a word that we all dread and experience! Yes, everyone fails in life! *bitter truth*

As humans, quite naturally – when we think about failure, we think of things in a very negative light. For us mortals – failure is an agonizing ordeal and causes irreparable emotional havoc, inflicting painful stings of guilt, regret, and remorse. It’s the end of the road, the cul-de-sac!
Sure, failing hurts. In fact, it slits deep like a blade, shredding its way to our deepest core. Yet, it’s necessary!

“When you take risks you learn that there will be times when you succeed and there will be times when you fail, and both are equally important.”
– Ellen DeGeneres

Of gold he is, from head to toe, 
exquisite, enticing and an amaranthine.

He is the king's favorite trinket, his mystic handsomeness spreading far and wide.

 Praying to break free from the evil witches curse,
he relapses into his mortal self each night.
With tears tricking down the sheen, he wishes, he rather be made of porcelain.
