Stop Expecting Them To Understand!

The advice we empathetically present to our friends is often the same ones we learnt too late, at a cost we wish wasn't so huge. As you tell them that not all has been lost and their worth and what they bring to the table is way beyond the biggest of their dreams and worst of their failings they may have known. Yet in your own shoes, besides all the words you throw around to sooth your heart ache, you often feel defeated and lost beyond despair. 

You finally woke up but knowing that it probably is already too late doesn't really help your sleep. Nor does it do much to help you get out of bed as suddenly you begin to wake up with the worst of your fears each day. There is so much you know today; you just wish you had garnered enough will yesterday. But, I guess Bob Marley was right when he said, "You never know how strong you are, until being strong is your only choice."  © Source: Quotespedia

Me being me, I didn't come back to my senses untill all my escape options stood exhausted and I finally had to confront the same old fix with not much space to run away. Those paralysing moments would always remain one of my strongest regret but me being me I needed to see an end to it all before I could finally move on. 

Offcourse no excuses can ever bring back those days and looking back, my brains are on their side too as they blame my weak choices over the past six months. But, I guess even when we know we had messed up big time, its constant reminders are the last thing we like to hear and still bring me back to paper and blogs to rant nonetheless. 

But, if there is anything I have leant in the past one year, pity parties and blame games take you nowhere. Sometimes, you gotta just accept your faults, all your mistakes in their entirity and learn to live with the same. Though on the ironic side, I guess life is finally gonna have its way where I finally dare to take a leap of faith or move on with my next best to never look back. 

It literally feels like loving two man and being equally scared of both and funny enough I still don't know which way to go. But, untill the time I remain in a fix, like an annoying child, I am gonna keep bothering you with my tales until my heart either finally find its way or a choice finally takes shape. But, signing off for now. Good Night. Take Care. #Pen'sProdigy #AWritingManiac all the way.

A Worthy Road With Healing Escapes

With too much time to spend on the clock, my mind -- eyeing an excuse -- offcourse went roaming back in the forbidden lanes of the past, amidst the tales still healing from pain.   For most events, my dots do connect but maybe it's too early to number the same. A gentle reminder how I am best left in a tiring marathon. While I am definitely more aware than ever of my intentions and motivations; the journey itself is probably becoming an easing necessity. "What others see as a hustle is at times just an antidote at play." Until I am better equipped to truly let go of it all and before I am already too old for the same; I would rather just focus on my ambitions and take care of my dreams and deserving obligations.  Yes, books can still leave me sleepy when left in their company for too long. But, I guess I finally have my reasons to let them consume my whole. From the few things I had envisioned for myself; topping the list were dreams of a young and...

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...

Writing Escapades

Have you ever felt like writing so much that you feel like penning down every single thought you feel? It's almost like there is nothing much important to say, nothing new that you can add to their tale, yet all you wish every now and then is to simply hold a pen and keep writing like there exists no tomorrow, even if your writings make no sense.  It's moments like these that make me doubt the potential possibilities of discipline as pen simply seems to be its own driver in this case. Although for the longest time, it keeps reminding of my creative non-fiction lectures when our Professor would correctly insist how it is meant for our readers and self musings can often just be saved for dear diaries and not bothered with publication. However, these days, after one of my longest deliberate writing breaks, blog weirdly feels like the safest escape.  Even if my capacities hardly count these days and productivity still lingers close over a zero, writing feels like the...
