Sometimes, we long for the light to find us — the kind of light that reaches us in a way nothing else can. And when it doesn’t, there’s something else that still manages to reach us, something that helps us rediscover ourselves with beauty and peace. Yes, there is something we turn to when we find ourselves completely lost — in moments of deep doubt, distractions, confusion, and the loud, harsh noise of the world. And when we go there, we realize that there is no companion quite as comforting and true as the one we call music . Am I right? Have you ever felt it? The way music enters your ears and goes straight to your soul? The way it vibrates through your bones as if it knows every unspoken emotion within you? Sometimes, when the world feels too loud or too silent, good music arrives like a quiet friend. It doesn’t demand. It doesn’t question. It just stays . In that stillness, we begin to find ourselves again — softly, slowly, beautifully. I’m writing this not just as a listener, but...

  Have you ever been sitting idle—maybe scrolling through your phone, staring at the ceiling, or simply daydreaming—and suddenly, without warning, a thought flashes through your mind? A perfect sentence, an image, an idea. It arrives out of nowhere, and you feel an undeniable pull to capture it. If you’ve ever had that moment, then you already know one of the golden truths of writing: When you feel the urge to write—write. Immediately. Hello, lovely readers. Welcome back to another post by Mankum , where today I’m going to share just one truth I’ve come to trust more than any rule: If something inside you wants to be written, don't wait. Write it now. ✨ Inspiration Doesn’t Wait—And Neither Should You The thoughts that visit us aren’t always polite. They don’t ask if we’re free or if we have our laptop ready. They just show up —unpredictable, spontaneous, wild. And when they do, if we don’t catch them, they vanish just as suddenly as they came. As Elizabeth Gilbert writes in Big M...

Hey, hi from an unknown writer. It’s me, ManKum. Today, I’m here to share a little piece of a feeling I call: “The Little Joy of Being Seen.” So, I was just going through some old blog posts — and after so many years, I stumbled across a tiny comment on one of my creations. And that little moment… it made me feel so warm. Kind of giggly, honestly. It might sound silly or small to some, but let me show you from the perspective of an artist — someone who rarely sees their work noticed in the wild. That small comment wasn’t just a few words. It meant so much more. To someone who loves to create — who pours their heart into little pieces of art, writing, or ideas — those small, random acts of appreciation hit deeply. They bring a rush of joy. A wave of self-confidence. A quiet reminder that maybe, just maybe, our work is something to someone. Being an unknown writer or creator often feels like whispering into a vast, empty space, unsure if anyone will ever hear us, feel us, or see things...

  "I never knew that a day would come when words would become my entire world." It all started when I was young. I never imagined that I would ever be a writer. My first love was art—it was my favorite hobby throughout childhood. Until the age of 12, I was deeply engrossed in sketching and painting, letting my creativity flow through colors and strokes. But slowly, without even realizing it, I stepped into the world of words. It began with lyrics. I started crafting songs, giving them rhythm, melody, and emotion. This, in turn, led to the art of weaving shayaris, setting up story plots, and creating entire worlds through my imagination. My inspiration came from everything around me—Disney movies, the stories in our school books, and life itself. But above all, it was nature that truly became my muse. The rustling of leaves, the quiet whispers of the wind, the golden hues of sunset—all of it breathed life into my creativity, urging me to weave emotions into words. One of my ...
