Wordsandnotion

Writing that helps you recognize yourself.

Words and Notion is a quiet space for reflection—where thoughts are unraveled and feelings gently voiced through words. Curated by Akhila—part poet, part ponderer, always curious—this blog offers a mindful exploration of life, emotions, and the self!!

This is not just a space to read, but to recognize pieces of yourself in the spaces between the lines. Each post is an invitation to slow down, listen to your thoughts, your feelings, and the quiet truths within, and find clarity in emotions you may have carried but never quite named!!

  • കടുംകാപ്പി മധുരം — ഒരു പുസ്തകമാകുന്ന യാത്ര

    ചില എഴുത്തുകൾ ഉണ്ടാവും.അവയെഴുതുമ്പോൾ “ഇത് ഒരു പുസ്തകമാകും” എന്ന് നമ്മൾ തീരുമാനിച്ചിട്ടുണ്ടാകില്ല.എന്നാൽ സമയം കഴിയുമ്പോൾ, അവ തന്നെ നമ്മളെ ഒരു പുസ്തകത്തിലേക്ക് നയിക്കും. ‘കടുംകാപ്പി മധുരം’ അങ്ങനെയൊരു യാത്രയാണ്. കടുപ്പവും മധുരവും ഒരുമിച്ച് ഉള്ള ജീവിതത്തെ പോലെ. പുസ്തകത്തിന് അവതാരിക എഴുതിയ ഷീല ടോമി മാം ന്റെ വാക്കുകളിലൂടെ ആത്മപ്രകാശനത്തിനപ്പുറത്തക്ക്, മുൻവിധികളില്ലാതെ ലോകത്തെ ശ്രവിക്കാൻ ശ്രമിക്കുന്ന ചില നുറുങ്ങുകവിതകളുടെ ഒരു സമാഹാരം. ഇത് ഒരു ധ്യാനമാണ് — സ്വയം കണ്ടെത്തുന്നവളുടെ വെളിപാടുകൾ. വായനക്കാരിലൂടെ KLIBF-ൽ കടുംകാപ്പി മധുരം…
