Life Unedited

 The last two years of my life are imprinted in my memory; a core part of my life. That's were I framed life definitions. That's were I found my true self. 2022-24 are the remarkable years of my life, my post graduation journey. I stepped in with numerous apprehensions and a great deal of expectations. Though I couldn't adapt easily very soon that turned to be my habitat; where I truly belong to. While speaking extensively about this journey there are certain people whom I can't thank enough for being by my side throughout. The teacher who enchanted me with the works of Keats and Kafka. Someone who took me to the mesmerizing world of Kafkaesque. The teacher who stood by my side constantly assuring me of my inner strengths. The one who dusted the talents which were concealed within me for years. The one who cared, shed happy tears and showered blessings for each and every milestone I achieved. I can't thank you more sir. I'm indeed blessed to have my dearest teac...

 2024 was indeed a remarkable year. It's not because I found my way or sorted out things so that I got the best possible outcome. It is because the year taught me that there are equal number of things to unlearn as to learn. That's how we move forward in life. Life isn't easy as it seems. It's like different levels of a game. Starting with the easiest level, it gets tougher with each level and that's how it is meant to be. Sometimes we fail or may earn additional points. Remember not to stop when fails or be overconfident when succeeds. Keep moving without losing the excitement and enthusiasm you had at the beginning. 2025 steps in with a series of events to test us, to bring out our true potential. Unfold the new year of your life with an open heart. Be open enough to receive criticisms, rectify if required and move on. Develop new perspectives, make new bonds. Look into yourself and embrace your true self. Your inner world is uniquely yours ; be your own companion...

  The sense of togetherness, having people around to shout out "they're mine" is the greatest blessing according to me. Yes, I'm blessed to have them in my life.    Relationships are the roots of human existence. We are social beings, thereby resonating with others and mutual dependency is there in our blood. Get togethers are a way of staying connected, building intimacy and strengthening bonds with our near and dear ones.    We planned, coordinated and executed our gathering in the best possible way we could, that being one of the most memorable days in my life. Staying together for a night, cooking together, playing and having fun; indeed a splendid night I could ask for.   Timidities and shyness apart, we sung, danced and played with all our heart. I saw teary eyes when they became nostalgic about their past  memories. Though past alone can't define us, I feel it is something which paved way  for us to our present self.    We waved h...

Aroma, fragrance, scent.... Yes, they can carry us back to those memories we left behind. Strange, right? At times strange things of the past weave the most beautiful memories for us to cherish. Leaving the comforts of home behind and then coming back to push the door of your room, lying flat on your bed to inhale its scent, the smell that describes you, is the most comforting feel ever. The pillow which is your constant companion, who wiped your tears has the smell of your grief.  It's been so long since they met. That meeting has to be memorable. They planned what to and what not to say to make the day pinned in their memory. Finally they met. They stammered, words choked in their throat, but their eyes spoke what their lips couldn't. Back home, she felt something strange, ecstatic; he hasn't left. His odour surrounded her like an unseen blanket for her to inhale when the sense of longing haunts her. Scents are a part of human emotions and nostalgia. They are imperceptibl...

    I'm a very simple and minimalistic person for I find happiness in small things. At the end of the day, it's something we actually strive for. A lot of people wander in the dark, lamenting on their life circumstance as if happiness is forbidden to them. In fact they fail to identify the gem that's hidden inside them.    Life is a rollercoaster of emotions, of ups and downs, of wins and losses. That's how it is meant to be. Caught in this maze, we often forget to find ways which can illuminate our mind. Those who can make harmony and peace amidst all these are the real winners of life. Drawing my personal experience to this, I do not want great things to be happy. Watching a sunset can make me happy. A random message or a smile from a stranger can make me happy. An expression of concern from my beloved can make me happy. Sitting on my couch watching my favourite show on television is my ultimate definition of happiness. A slight touch, a tight hug, a pat on my shou...
