"Whispers of a Wandering Mind"

One day, you initiate it. You begin your day in this very same manner, with no idea of what is appropriate or inappropriate. Just thoughts, thoughts on how easy life is, how hard life is, or anything... I wonder if others who think excessively about everything are considered overthinkers or if I am the only one who enjoys thinking meticulously about everything, which is also a more loving behavior. The sound of that one bird singing about its world and its own cage-free existence pleased me.

Are we all living a no-cage life today? We are living a complexly simplified life of our own and living life with all those other 8 billion people on this platform called Earth. How beautiful that would be if I was the only one doing what I was doing, though someday, I would be alone chasing my dreams, will it be called chasing really?

While thinking about that, what do we define chasing in life? Want that for ourselves or is that too for the world? ! the WORLD … seems like I am truly living in the world of globalization right and I have entangled my legs into the winds of employment generating cotton candy when nothing seems sweet, it doesn’t taste sweet, it just looks sweet.

But that's the point, right? We want to taste the lollipop of achievement and avoid the candy stick or have someone hold it for us; if it were possible, I would have seen a lot of people doing it.

The hail in April

Why would it suddenly rain now? The first thought, the mangos are gonna get ruined, the next thought, why now? Suddenly, we start digging into the reasons and reading geography and weather articles. Suddenly, the easterlies and westerlies from the 9 th std textbook sound important again, suddenly the hot currents and cold currents seem interesting, suddenly the Arabian Sea and the Mediterranean seem like your long-forgotten relatives. You are there to meet them bcoz something unfamiliar has occurred, something out of context, something unexpected….. Now it would be quite boring to connect this directly to life, but still, I would. Why? Because I like to! Why hail in April is what we question when there are uncertainties in our lives. These are nothing but the externalities we never thought would come to meet us on our way to a beautiful, awaited summer. You were preparing to buy a new suncoat, but now you had to pull out the umbrella from the top shelf. Life gives us certain tasks...

The Tree

It was a rainy day, rather windy, I would say… a thunderstorm or something… I could listen to that fast wind blowing through my door and the window, my hair was running far away from my face like that in a typical Bollywood movie, I was enjoying it, until I started feeling cold and the wind brought with it those invisible dust particles which troubled my eyelashes… I got up to close the window, the plan was to come back in, sit there, complete my book but as soon as I reached to get the window, I saw that the trees infront were bending more than I do in my yoga sessions, initially it looked trenchant, but not much later I realised it was concerning. I went out, the rain was yet to start, and I parked my scooty away from the tree. As soon as I came in, it started pouring. Heavily. Lashing. How arduous for the clouds… I was sitting in my chair watching the rain through the door, my slippers were soaking wet, and I did not go out to pick them because this rain was pretty just fr...

Coming Home, But Not Coming Back

Last month, I moved back to my home after spending 3 whole years in a hostel. At first, it felt like hell. All the freedoms are gone in seconds! A few things hit me so hard that I took a lot of time to recover. But after all these days, I can now also see the bright side of this decision. It's difficult to adjust to the same place you called yours after that period of time when it was just a Holiday home and nothing was like it was before. It was a Transition. Bcoz the freedom I am talking about is not just physical. It's mental freedom, the decision-making stuff, the choosing stuff, the doing this thing at that time stuff, and the not doing stuff! Indeed my most fucked sleep cycle is fixed and I am SOOO Happy about it. A hostelite just dreams about sleeping at 10pm, but that never happens.... That particular habit of watching reels before sleeping is gone! It's vanished! I was like omg... I have discovered new things about my own life! That was something fantastic. Not...
