Epic achievements
My book in a library
Meeting my idols.
Discovering a
Part of my soul and future
Just by being lost.
Thanks for markets.
Thanks for the red phone boxes.
Thanks you underground.
Camden brings me joy
Travelling around the world
With all five senses.
When my mind goes blank
There’s always something to do
Inside Chinatown
Bathtubs on the street
Policemen chasing cats and dogs
Falling over bears
Paddington Station
Will be mine for the taking
Like monopoly
Buckingham Palace
For tea and biscuits with the
King and Queen at noon.
Midnight buses are
Full of vibrant characters
One could be your friend
All the conventions
Reachable within public
Transport will be fun
London never sleeps
London always bursts colour
London never stops
London can never
Be broken down or destroyed
London shall remain
For the good and bad
We will always love London
The best capital.

Emtional Journey of Pain and Joy of Pregnancy
Maya's journey towards pregnancy was a path fraught with trials and tribulations. Month after month, she endured the heartache of disappointment as the faint hope of new life faded away. Each negative pregnancy test felt like a dagger to her soul, a reminder of the emptiness that consumed her every waking moment.
