Chitrangada likes to express herself by writing fiction and poetry. Her writing reflects her mood and is inspired by the beauty of nature.

An Ode to the Sky—My Poem

Sometimes white, sometimes grey,
You are limitless, you are boundless,
Sometimes blue, sometimes crimson,
You are ceaseless, you are endless,


As far as the eyes can see,
You are hope, and you inspire,
Looking upto you, the tiny me,
To touch you, is my desire,


I wish, I was the sea,
To reflect your shades truly,
And meet you at the horizon,
To show my love,
As boundless as thee.


Chitrangada Sharan

If the sight of the blue skies fills you with joy, if a blade of grass springing up in the fields, has the power to move you, if the simple things of Nature have a message that you understand, rejoice, for your soul is alive.

—Eleonora Duse

Quote 2

Aim for the sky, but move slowly, enjoying every step along the way. It is all those little steps, that makes the journey complete.

—Chanda Kochhar

The sky takes on shades of orange during Sunrise and Sunset. The colour that gives you hope, that Sun will set, only to rise again.

—Ram Charan

Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain, or usher storm, but to add colour to my Sunset sky.

Look at the sky. We are not alone. The whole universe is friendly to us, and conspires only to give the best to those, who dream and work.

—-Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam

I always believe that the sky is the beginning of the limit.

Heavy hearts, like heavy clouds in the sky, are best relieved, by the letting of a little water.

—Christo Morley

Don’t forget,

Beautiful Sunsets, need cloudy skies.

The sky is like an infinite movie to me. I never get tired of looking at what’s happening up there.
