Welcome
Dear Reader,
Welcome to my site! My name is Bhim Pandya and I like to write.
On this site you will find poems, short stories and thoughts that have conjured in my minds eye. At the end of every piece I have written a short description of what inspired it.
I believe that muses are everywhere, on the bus, at the pool, place of worship, school and of course the street. After all we are surrounded by stories. Whether these are stories of the land on which we reside or our life experiences which shape our being.
I think that minute occurrences in the every day can trigger a creative urge to want to paint with words. Ergo, stories / fictions are everywhere. My personal favorite event that inspired me to write in the first place was the sound of anklets. I was in highschool at the time when I heard some jingling sound while sitting at the temple waiting for Navratri music (9 day dance festival) to begin and as odd as it may sound, after the dancing finished, I went home that day and wrote the short story Id Neutralized. It is posted on this site under the short story section.
My art, the one which involves painting with words, is a work in progress and I am not perfect but I like to try. I immigrated to Canada when I was about 8 years old and English was not my first language. In fact I had to attend ESL (English as Second Language) classes for many for many years before I was able to participate in regular English classes. Even then I struggled quite a bit with writing.
Nevertheless, I wish you have a great time reading my works. I also hope these stories intrigue, interest and insinuate critical urges. A context at the end of each piece will be provided-as in the real life occurrence that inspired the writing of the piece. I also thank you for taking the time to stop by at wordlydomain.
Stay safe and Take Care and let us pray that this Pandemic ends soon!
Bhim J. Pandya
