Poem: A Cuddle

Eyes tenderly

Seek each other

Ears calmly

Listen to silence...

She relaxes 

In his warmth

And they cuddle

Soul to soul...

Poem: Here comes the Spring... :)

Here comes the spring

To clear away winter's woes

Tapping hidden life in every touch

And clothing the bare branches green...

Lambs would leap out of joy

Birds will sing with delight

Ducklings, kittens, calves

Will join hands to celebrate...

Soon you can smell

The spring in every breeze

Get ready, for a festival

Of sunshine is about to begin...

Cheers to the Change? :)

Dear Readers, 

Are you happy with the new look of Beyond Barriers...? I've tried a variety of combinations before arriving at the present design :)

Let me know if you've got any suggestions - regarding the background image, the colours, etc!! :)  

And towards your right hand top corner - yeah, that's my latest picture, recently taken at a friend's place, I know I need a haircut lol ;)

Below is how the webpage design was before changes:

Feel free to share your opinions in the comments column.

Have a great Sunday evening!! :)

Cheers!! :)

P.S: The reason for choosing the dolphin jump as background is because it has lots of zeal, great energy and enthusiasm!! :)

Reclaiming Beyond Barriers... :)

Beyond Barriers is all ready to bounce back, it's time to get back those golden days of creative writing! :)

If you are a regular reader, then this post is for you! :)

Over the last few months, I have lost track and started to post sets of images and since I've changed the blog's caption to "diary of my life" - I've started to deviate from the primary purpose of blogging to writing more of personal topics which sidelined the idea of churning out new, imaginative and innovative thoughts in writing! :)

Beyond Barriers... is changing over the next coupla weeks...

Aim: To improve the quality of this blog's content like it used to be 5 years ago when it was started :)

Primary Goal: Every reader/visitor who visits Beyond Barriers... should be satisfied and they gotta feel that the time they spend here is worthwhile :)

Main Focus: Increasing writing standards and to choose topics which would grab attention :)

Key changes:

1.) The caption of this blog is reverting back to the glorious first one - "Expression of Imagination" :) So, it's no longer gonna be a "diary of my life" :)

2.) We gonna have a new design template :) I am still checking on to pick an appropriate one :)

3.) Blog content will no longer be personal - either my topics or my friends topics - no post will carry any form of content that would relate to anybody. Personal content in blog posts is presently around 85% and it will be reduced down to 20% like it used to be when this blog was first started :) A quality check will be done on all existing posts to remove any posts which carry directly/indirectly too much of personal information.

4.) Opinion polls will always be available on the blog page itself to allow readers to vote on whether they like/dislike a particular blog post. At the moment we have low reader base but that is one of the key areas this blog is looking to improve.

5.) Along with beauty of nature and human emotions - even funny posts will still be around - but the way humour is generated will be given more attention rather than simply sharing loads of images which were sourced ages ago from the internet.

So, are you ready to embrace the good old days of quality reading? Yes, quality starts from writing and I am gonna refine my approach and will post more original work and thoughts will flow straight from my heart onto paper! 

Beyond Barriers... will be a better place, a place where you'd love to always visit and enjoy reading some really good stuff!! :) 

Take care, Cheers! :)
