We have a zillion thoughts running through our mind. No, not the over thinking thoughts. The thought that flows in general, thinking of twitter feed while cooking, a new idea of a blog post when you are neck deep in work and an event of the past, the nostalgia and how it could have been better. Yeah, you got me now, that kind of thinking, we women are experts in. Working hard to meet the deadlines and thinking of what must be happening at the house. This is one such poem:
And the zillion conversation begin!
It comes so naturally from within.
As the tea leaves boil in the water,
My mind chats about my roles as a daughter.
I should have been polite yesterday,
but then she made me say.
And then the mind drifts away
thinking of the events of yesterday.
The tea is ready and I am dizzy,
Thinking of the day that is going to be busy.
Will my leave be approved?
I hope the trash is removed.
Will he like the presentation,
Is he going to question my dedication?
What will I buy for lunch?
Healthy or junk to munch.
And then the silly jokes that my mind cracks,
Few memories it brings back.
Then my mind wanders away to a dreamland,
I will show you if you hold my hand.
Bound by sands of time.
Maybe that as well will rhyme!
It is Day 20 of UBC!

You have company here Ramya.I have to read nonstop to prevent the constant brain chatter
You’ve aptly described
Words whirling around in a woman’s mind
Be it night or day
The words see to it that they have their say!:)
You bet and sometimes those random thoughts are really powerful. Well captured…the clutter of thoughts
you just bring words alive with you poetry
I am going to ask the missus is she is having a zillion conversations with herself. You have painted a vivid description of the things going on in a woman’s mind. Superb!
I think it happens to men too, they may not admit it! Just kidding.
Monkey mind – it’s what the Buddhists call it.
Yeah, it happens!! We each have hundreds of these trains of thought every day — our internal monologues are chugging along, in our conscious minds and deep in our subconscious…loved it, Ramya!
I can relate to this! I have tried meditation to stop the chatter. It works sometimes.
Mind is always having zillion things to think about!It is something we can all relate to!
Perfect! You wrote about me–and so poetically. To meditate is to let a zillion things go and be surprised by the silence. I once asked poetry club members (from when I taught high school) if they also had these zillion rapid conversations and was totally surprised when they said no and pretended, I think, that they didn’t know what I was talking about.
It looked like as if I was reading my own story!I am not only a thinker but an overthinker. That’s why I try to keep myself busy as much as I can:)

I absolutely adore this ❤️ our mind revolves around a million things all happening at once. I could taste the euphoria in these lines “And then the silly jokes that my mind cracks, few memories it brings back. Then my mind wanders away to a dreamland, I will show you if you hold my hand.” Sigh.. beautifully expressed ❤️
Lots of love,
Sanaa
Yes we all have those conversations from within Ramya. This is beautiful and true!
I’ve never learned how to stop thinking! It’s so hard to be just present in the moment.
conversations within yourself are good- like the surf excel, but sometimes they do become too much since they churn your brain wanting you to just stop..happens all the time
