Trying To Hold it Together

माना हर एक Choice मेरा अपना था, पर कभी कभी आज जैसे दिनों पर लगता है पता नहीं होगा भी या नहीं। Usually, लोग first semester main confused aur last semester में sure होते हैं। But, life के ज्यादातर decisions की तरह इस area में भी उल्टी निकली। First में Convinced and last में Super-confused. 

पिछला एक साल किसी तरह निकल गया था but last कुछ एक महीने (the post Covid, lockdown वाले); honestly पता नहीं...Almost like best भी थे और worst and toughest भी।

क्या करना है? पता नहीं! शायद अब कुछ समझ आने लगा था, खूब मेहनत करी पर सब postponed। अब लगता है जैसे थक सी गई हूं। बस rest करना चाहती हूं and अभी बस वही नहीं कर सकती। अगर किसी दिन distract हो कर extra videos और movies देख लूं, तो ऑफिस का सारा काम रह जाता है and consequently पढ़ाई और तैयारी तो भूल ही जाओ। कभी कभी लगता है I just wanna breathe and relax फिर डर भी लगता है कि सब करने के बाद मैं last moment कहीं फिर से सब गड़बड़ ना कर दूं।

सच कहूं तो मुझे ये नहीं पता finally चीजें थोड़ी सी ट्रैक पर कब वापिस आएंगी पर बस अब ये पता है मैं अपनी तरफ से पूरी कोशिश करना चाहती हूं कि at least किसी कि sympathies ना लेनी पड़ें।

कुछ किस्सों के लिए हम लोगों को माफ कर आगे तो बढ़ जाते हैं पर कुछ बातें मानो दिल में घर सा कर जाती हैं। मेरा चीजों को overly पकड़ कर बैठे रहना कह लो या कुछ भी, पर मेरे आंसू पोंछने के लिए उनका एहसान जताना मानो भूलता ही नहीं। उस के बाद भी पीछले एक साल में बहुतों के आगे दिल हल्का किया है कुछ दोस्त दिल में और ज़िन्दगी में आज भी कायम हैं। 

पर अब शायद हिम्मत सी नी पड़ती; क्या किसी को बेवजह तंग करना। और शायद इस वक्त कहना चाहूं भी तो शायद मैं खुद को सही express और explain कर ही नी सकती। पर शायद कुछ कहने को है भी नहीं। कभी कभी कुछ चीजों को सही खुद ही करना पड़ता है, वो चाह कर भी हमारी कोई मदद नहीं कर सकते। जैसे parents books खरीद सकते हैं पर हमारी जगह पढ़ कर exam नहीं दे सकते। 

आज कल blogs में सब कह देना आसान लगता है, personally बात करना मुश्किल। And शायद सब लोग in any case ख़ुद में परेशान हैं तो ना मैं उन्हें परेशान करना चाहती हूं and to be honest, ऐसा लगता है कि मेरे अंदर इस time wo energy है ही नहीं कि मैं इस वक्त किसी और को समझ सकूं। 

ऐसा लगता है जैसे अपने अपने ढंग से सब अपने extremes तक stretch हो रहे हैं। But, still just trying to hold together our fort for each other

And then कभी कभी लगता है should share this posts in my status; काश I hadn't deleted his number at least I would have a constant reader, shayad mythical सा ही सही understood feel होता था। But, then try to hold on, on my own because again time and energy seems limited.

A letter to my happy tear

Sometimes we make things so much bigger in our hearts that it becomes impossible for the events to match our anticipation and even the slightest misdirections to our plans end up grounding them altogether. Exactly an year ago, on October 17, my father-in-law called me and told us that our wedding dates had been fixed. It had been a long-distance courtship but as the luck would have it, we were right there together to celebrate the good news. The next four months were probably the happiest period of my life. Even as I felt lonely without him, I would simply count down our days to the wedding. Soon enough, my joy and excitement became too visible. I don't think I have ever taken care of myself any better. I couldn't wait to get married.  I don't think there was a day I didn't think of him before I ended my day. I simply couldn't wait to be his wife. To his credit, it has all been worth it. Even as we are yet to find our way to a shared roof, Akhil you ...

Mrs - A subtle, yet powerful take on domesticated patriarchy

I know I am late to the party but I instantly joined the fan club. A take on the silent, and mostly unacknowledged, labour of women in a family, Mrs takes us through the journey of a modern woman as she tries to find her place in the new family after marriage. The film broadly shows daily routine of a family almost on a loop -- wherein men go to work, exercise and enjoy, while women of the house find themselves stuck in the kitchen throughout the day and year.  At one point, the loop begins to feel repetitive, but it serves well to highlight the monotony in a woman's life -- through the protagonist, Richa (played by Sanya Malhotra), and her mother in law. The two scenes about a woman guest taking Richa's stand; and her friend's husband helping in the chores offer a refreshing contrast to the Kumars, who illustrate a typical patriarchal mindset.  Sanya nailed as Richa, as her character's silent compliance with her husband and in-laws demands speaks volumes about her rep...

Strange...

Today I got to know something about Korea that I thought was really strange. Gambling is generally prohibted for Koreans. Hailey told us that there is a huge Cassino in Korea where Koreans are not allowed to enter. It is only for the Foreigners or Koreans that have an American citizenship. In case of many clubs the situation is completely opposite. Lawrence told us that there are a lot of clubs which are meant for Koreans only and Foreigners are not allowed there. I found it really weird because I don't think there is any such similiar thing in India.
