This is a quote from the book, 'Walden' written by Henry David Thoreau in which he emphasizes the importance to love one's own company. The world is alarmed by the Covid-19 outbreak and everyone is advised to stay home and increase social distances.

This is a poem by Gulzar. It was sent as a recording to me by one of my friends. She wanted a review, I did not have a concrete reason for having whatever opinions I was having. So, I recorded it myself to get to know the idea I had in me, regarding how it should be recited. Here it is...

थोड़ा थक गया हूँ By Sampooran Singh Kalra

Learning to live life unaltered by society and letting things flow. I record audios that come from within my heart in coordination with my brain. I did not plan to make a SoundCloud Creator account, it just happened and I am liking it.
