Firefly in my dark hour

As I come back from work and sit down with my thoughts, it is literally like my chakravayu. I usually have so much to speak and only walls as listeners, so it easily gets converted into overthinking. But for a change, something really nice came out of it tonight, just sharing it below...a little draft of my heart
...


जब मैंने पीछे मुड़कर देखा तो उन नज़्म और तोहफ़ों में न बस मेरी आवाज थी पर रूह के टुकड़े बिखरे पड़े थे मेरे। सच पूछो तो अगर दोबारा जी सकूं, सब तोहफ़ों को अपने पास रहने दूंगी शायद। न खुद को पूरा करने की कोशिश करूंगी बस खुद पे और ज्यादा मेहनत करूंगी।

जो वक्त बुरा हो तो किस ने लौटाई मोहब्बत मेरी, एक रिक्त स्थान सा है, पर जो रूह शांत और शुक्रगुजार हो तो बुरे लोगों से मिलना और उससे भी अधिक उनका रह पाना न याद है मुझे। 

PS -  (I think I kept loving so intently because that's the most validation I got).

This one is a jumbled piece...but today I am simply too tired to process it nicely, so please bear with me.

I recently went to therapy and in today's session...one of the things I was asked to ponder on was what I would like to be...I initially I thought definitely more happier than the girl I saw in the mirror, maybe my 18-year-old version that went to South Korea. I think she has long been my favourite. For once, everything in the world could wait, I just had the courage and my own permission in a way that I wanted and I had this crazy love for life even if I was going through a bad time, it had to wait those four months were simply mine that would never come back.
....
Towards the end of my day, as I was thinking, I realised, I think I also wanna be her (Anne Frank). I am sure they really loved me and only wanted well for me. I see so much of myself in her and reverse and it's currently difficult for me articulate and explain what she means to me but she is more like my Korean self, the one who is part of the initial reason and motivation to take up pen.

When I am too tired with people, I write. When it is something I really need to say I would usually text and express in written word, But behind all that I write is a little girl, whose broken piece of soul is long dead and she is just trying to fill that void. Only her ignorance of the void's existence usually marks her happy days but I guess it is high time that changes for the better. I wish I had a constant human and a trusted partner to share all these tales with but honestly I have no idea what God and fate have in store for me. If there is a way, I really hope I can be in a place I don't need it any more and I don't say it just to compensate my lack of one and facade, but where my happiness doesn't depend on any person or connection, I don't need one and can still be actually happy and also be able to confidently embrace love if it does come along.

#Article370

PC - News18 Over the past 16 days I have tried to read and listen to as many opinions as I could. Both in favour and against the scrapping of #Article370 irrespective of my personal belief and views on the matter. Although, honestly I am not sure if I have any. Its two weeks and having heard both sides I am still divided. But what's weird, is there are only 3 men from Kashmir I personally know who I have had discussions in the past. All three of them are moderate in their beliefs and considerate towards other communities as well unlike how many would like them to be portrayed, but today I don't see either of them supporting what's going on. They are the people who have lived in Kashmir and know ground realities better than many of us will ever know. I might not have the knowledge, experience and expertise to speak on such matters but  reading School time textbooks on Politics offlate just made me feel their voices need to be heard. That's the least we could do

Problems are okay!!!

This year, me and Kalyani learned an important thing - "Sometimes, its OK not to be okay". Don't underestimate this simple statement. Sometimes being able to say "its okay" is all you need in the moment. I hate to admit this to myself, but at times more you try fighting it more you end up losing. Rather than taking some impulsive and stupid decisions; give it some time. Simply let it pass. I will be honest, I am a real jerk when it comes to emotions but then most of us are. So, thats ok too. i know what works for me but when comes to practice, I often forget it at the moment. Wandering for the solution for weeks and after weeks of hard work you realize the solution was just in front of you staring at you all this while. More often than not, that is typically me. Remember, 'Late is better than never'. So, once its done, I like to smile and move on. There are always better problems that await. Cheers to this beautiful Life with its unending list of

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
