Gatherings of the Heart

  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 hands at each other and parted with heavy hearts and loads of memories to cherish forever. New bonds, new perceptions and here I'm looking forward to the day we meet again. May these gatherings quench the thirst of my soul and add to the core memory list so that one day I can share these with my kids, saying "they made me who I'm".

'Scent'imental Memories

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...

A Dedication to My Mentors

 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...
