#Journal_Entry

Sometimes, all that you need is that one person who doesn't need your words. One who can acknowledge your ordinary struggles without judgement and boost your confidence on days, being your own cheerleader feels difficult. 

If there has been one thing that has turned difficult by the year is that child-like courage to easily ask for somebody to just listen up. You suddenly turn too old to crib and complain and disturb their schedules. It's probably easier to be there for others and encourage them than to hold your own tears as you get struck. 

Your calendar simply does not seem to have the time for your crying sessions sometimes (which, on second thoughts, is infact a great privelege). You try to put up a brave front but on the inside you are scared as shit and just racing against time each second. Your patience and strength can somehow betray when it comes to your own self.

Sometimes, you don't need an ear to listen but a mind that can read between the lines. Yet you have no time to sit down for the conversations or you may miss out on even more time. Then, you just tell yourself to smile and keep trying since that's all you got to do. 

On days, you weirdly wish, sharing wasn't a requirement but rather telepathy was a real art. It's interesting, how we someday grow up to have these giant egos to open up. But, thankfully, being blessed with the gift to write, you can at least say that to paper which is difficult for your mind and mouth to elaborate. 

PS - 
Even on the day I am stressed about a writing assignment, I guess I am still just writing. Haha no way you can take writing out of a writer. Sometimes reaching out is too taxing, writing remains easier. #Anne_Adler_Fandom for a reason. 💟

Within moments of writing, you suddenly feel fine with a better perspective. On a calmer note, all our problems turn just as giant as we make them in our heads.

A day full of birthdays

Date - 20/09/2017 Today was Deepika Di's, Aizhan Aappa's and Anu Manhotra Ma'am's birthday.  Deepika Di was my senior in Shoolini. She was one of the seniors I have always admired and looked upto. Wishing her a happy birthday was one of the first things I did today. She is intelligent, confident, classy, beautiful, helpful and a sweetheart. I haven't known her for a very long time but it has been a great experience to know her.  I got to know about Aappa's birthday through facebook. I wasn't sure what to do. I was thinking about it all day. I had just planned to gift her a small choco pie which I had but then did not felt like gifting that alone.  I just thought that probably a letter with some birthday wishes would seem nice. I don't have any clues about Kazakh so I took a little help from Google.  I just wrote happy birthday in Kazakh and the entire message was in English. I also wrote Happy birthday in Hindi in the end. She was very happy and delight...

Aizhan Aapa

Date -07/09/2017 Aizhan Aapa is my first Friend here, besides Sujin Onni(my mentor). Actually her name is Aizhan but she is elder to me so I call her Aizhan Aapa. We both like it that way. Aizhan Appa is from Kazistan and is majoring in Korean language here. It is her second year here and she will be here for two more years. Apart from studies, she also works as an assistant in the dormitory office on alternative days here. Today I went for an evening walk with her. I always enjoy talking to her and spending some time with her. She is friendly, helpful and sweet. A lot of times when we are stuck with something or don't know how to do something in the dormitory she always tries to help her out. One day we got locked outside our room because all of us had forgotten our cards inside. Even on that day, she opened the door for us with the master card with a polite caution not to repeat the same mistake again. She is a huge fan of Indian movies especially Shah Rukh Khan. Today we tal...

Nirbhaya case

It was an incident that shocked the nation. We couldn't save her but Justice was the least that we wanted for her. Today after 4 years the justice has been served. The 4 convicts of Delhi Gangrape have been sentenced to be hanged till death. It has come as a relief and we hope it sets an example for others. But isn't Justice delayed Justice denied ? Doesn't it also points out the loop holes in our system ? It does suggest that we need to make better laws, something that instills confidence in the hearts of civilians and fear in the minds of criminals. We need to restore the faith of general masses in our judicial system. When so many people came out on the roads to protest, there was a wave of anger and frustration that we saw. We hoped that maybe things will change but what followed was unfortunate. Crimes are just becoming more and more common. Laws have become a joke and the Police and our Judicial System is mocked by these criminals. The question is when will th...
