Dont worry - havent lost it... yet!

just because i put in some sad stuff (only the content... not the style!!!) - doesnt mean am about to jump off the roof rightaway!!!

just been meaning to put in some of my memories here... it seems that the only world slightly safe these days is the virtual one... or at least shall hope so...

anyways... at this ungodly hour its pretty normal to feel emotional... at least for me. at times life raises quite a few questions - and mostly cruel ones...
sometimes the cruelest ones are simply those which you know the answer to and yet dont want to acknowledge... especially to urself.
what are we capable of doing? to ourselves... to those who we think we love?
when exactly do we become small in our own eyes? while thinking of doing it...while doing it... or forever afterwards?
what is the bigger crime... deceiving the world, deceiving someone else... or deceiving yourself?
when do we cross the line between being true to yourself and being true to the moment? what if the two are in conflict?
when is it right to follow the heart?
how do we make the brain go quiet - if only for some time? (have forever and ever been envious of those who claim to have blank moments!!)

mmm...

Reading is what saved me…

  Its funny to say or hear this but its true. In my life, books happened very early on in life and I got totally hooked to the escape they offered. Given our financial constraints growing up, books were a cheap way to get those kicks in life. A nearby renting library with an endless supply of M&Bs and Georgette Heyer’s and other similar ‘fluffy’ fiction – made it all super easy. I devoured books from the school library, shamelessly borrowed (and returned) books from friends and neighbors and never shied away from being seen with a book at the every juncture. Its truly a wonder that i didn' t get glasses at that stage in life! Books saved me from the stress that financial constraints bring to a child’s mind. Books saved me from the boredom that brings on negative thinking. Books told me that having and expressing emotions were totally fine – I could shed copious tears while reading without any fear of judgement. I could laugh out loud at a smart and sassy scene. Instead they...

Reunions or Reincarnation: Rediscovering the Lost Self

There’s something almost mystical about reunions. Not the regular catch-ups over dinner, but those epic, trip-based gatherings where classmates convene after decades, as if time were just a decorative illusion. In the past few years, with the slow but steady drumbeat of friends turning fifty, I’ve been both witness and participant in adventures that begin with nervous anticipation and end in riotous laughter—and a kind of rebirth that no ordinary weekend could bring. At first glance, reunions seem to promise little more than nostalgia, some bad dancing, and a few retellings of embarrassing teenage moments. But somewhere between boarding passes and late-night confessions, something extraordinary unfolds. Time collapses. The cracks and scars of the intervening years fade into the background, replaced by a wave of pure, unfiltered joy—like meeting long-lost parts of ourselves we never realized had gone missing. For those fleeting days, we become the version of ourselves that existed befo...

I miss you R...

 Is it ok to miss yourself sometimes?  I miss you R… I miss your innocence The belief that the world was a happy place That love was there all around All we need to do is to reach out. Just an honest open attempt And life will reward you If you worked long and hard It will even speak up for you I liked that about you You knew how to move on You knew that forgiving was the only way Not forgetting necessarily - but definitely letting go I liked how you gave it your all When you set your mind to it How you put the scared kid inside you to bed every night With a promise that the next day would be better The kid who cried in her pillow for years Just because she felt lonely and unloved You told her you were there to hold her hand Whatever else life throws at her, you wouldn’t leave her alone But now that child is overwhelmed  The loneliness is threatening to take it all What can she do to keep it at bay With the weight of responsibilities taking their toll So while I think of ...
