Innocent thoughts started in the year 2009. It's a collection of poems, stories, experiences, and much more. Some pieces sound like being written by a little girl and yes they very much are, as back when I started to write these pieces in my journal I had just begun middle school. It all started when there was a writing event in the 5th grade and our class teacher late Miss Udita had given an exciting introduction. There were 2 portions of the event one was to write a poem starting with "I wish..." and the second was a story "It was a night filled with chilled darkness...". I bagged the third position for my story and got a round of appreciation for my poem as well. I kept writing after that as regular as possible while it made me grow fonder to the life I was living in and also a way to question my actions when I penned it down. It has helped me grow in phases and still aids me to give a soothing touch for my readers in the words where I express that we all are drifting in the same boat called life. In a phase of me when trying to forget a lot of people that left me with their sudden demise, this was a way where I could talk to them and tell them how much I missed them but knowing, that there is no way I could ever reach out to them again and have a conversation. In a phase of me when revisiting and discovering myself when I quit my job in Mumbai, I started to realize there are experiences which you cannot avoid. Friends holding your back, Family accepting you whenever possible, losses, happiness, betrayal and then one night I finally gave in to the thought of opening a blog filled with my writings as a portal of me conversing and giving my learned lessons to the world in the form of "Innocent Thoughts".
In a phase of me when I fell in love, dealing with heartbreak and connecting with the ones who are there around me for good. Experiencing lament, grief, nuance, repeating mistakes, undertaking a hollowness then filling it up all over again. In a phase of me becoming a mother and sharing motherhood with all the new mothers around and redefining the meaning of love and the sensible feeling of responsibility when you are so new to all of it. Now I am enjoying being a mother of my 5-year-old and pretty much confided in a world of my own but sometimes I feel we all grow at our own separate pace with experiences refining the virtuous ladder as we move along. So until these experiences keep teaching me to be fair and square I would be writing my thoughts and looking out for similar thoughts from your end. Don't hesitate to reach out to me anytime with your suggestions. There are many other related works which you can check as Speechless Moon, Just Utter,. As I said and will repeat feel free to reach out and connect with me at Pratiksha Misra."It takes great courage to say you can write, even more, to write exactly how you feel"
The book of "Innocent Thoughts has a collection of poems and quotes that takes you through an inward journey within yourself. When you are deeply hurt, or when you encounter an unforgettable incident, or when you leave the land where you were born and come to a land filled with strangers, to build your own identity from scratch. Most of the poems and quotes have been published via my site that started in the year 2009, now I am trying to uplift those unknown voices, that are not in the online world and still can be very much found inside a library or a bookstore, searching for books that lighten up their day. You can found my book both online and in-stores. You just need to get hold of this one book published till now - "Innocent Thoughts- A Journey Just Build With Thoughts" By Pratiksha Misra".
"It all started when I went on a journey, within myself, and found myself seeking some answers to questions I couldn’t either ask or get an answer to. I was abused by a stranger, when I just turned 12, and till date I cannot forget the face of the man, who did that heinous thing to a 12-year-old, who is just trying to understand how her body is evolving every day. That incident broke me and made me think I was better off being a boy, only to my surprise that even boys get abused at a whole another level. Every day I feel, I will overcome the shame that I encountered, when that man, took my hand and made me hold his private area, in front of my parents? but for me the biggest challenge was unraveling this journey of being free of being ashamed, were not everyone who is abused should be the one victimized, but rather victimizing the society that believes, that such incidents need to make sure that a specific gender needs to be suppressed or be in lesser control than anyone else."
