Life Unedited

 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.

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...
