Window to the soul

They say the eyes are the window to the soul.

They offer deep insights into a man’s self.

They are the mirrors that always reflect true,

Whether we want to show or not, they exhibit.

 

If the above is true for man then I wonder

Why it is that we do not look more in the mirror?

Why it is that we do not take a deeper look?

Why do we not judge ourselves and our actions more?

 

Would the world not be a better place if we were able

to judge ourselves just as quickly as we criticize others?

Should we not be accountable for ourselves too,

When we take the liberty to condemn others?

About Sonal Singh

An author, storyteller, and full-time observer of life’s glorious absurdities. I write humour-laced stories where chaos wears fluffy fur, emotions arrive uninvited, and middle-class Indian households become ecosystems of drama, love, and unsolicited advice. Armed with sarcasm, caffeine, and alarming emotional attachment to stray creatures, I believe compassion is less of a virtue and more of a lifestyle disorder. One that I embrace. When I’m not writing, I’m usually busy running a full-time HR consultancy business, rescuing animals, or trying to maintain dignity while being emotionally manipulated by my pets. Through my literary work, I try to blend humour with heart, celebrating the messy coexistence of humans and non-humans in modern urban India.
