Me and my thoughts

Life is not about days and years It is about moments Days come and go But moments stay forever They define our lives and character Some are happy, some are sad The emotion does not matter The moment does They are captured in our memory Like a photograph or a movie Sometimes, it seems like we forgot them But they are there somewhere I have captured every moment of us together Frozen deep inside me forever

So many things are extinct today. They disappear before we know it. They are just there, we over indulge it and suddenly poof it’s gone. There is yet another major crisis we are blind to. We knew something is not right. We share WhatsApp memes about it. Yet we do not realise the crusts and intensity of it. Every kid I see is immersed in an electronic world. The device varies but the concentration and addiction remain. We look out fast track options to pacify our kids and opt for the easiest way to do it. Most families are proud of the mobile experts that they fail to notice the dwindling brain growth. Electronics as such are a bane of knowledge. They offer everything to us in a platter and prevent us from thinking. The child brings his life with angry bird, temple run and forgets about physical exercise and brain stimulation. He becomes ignorant to the world around him. As he grows up, so does his thirst for PSB and social media. The social media robs us of our privacy and makes

She is a miracle She is an aberration of nature She freezes moments She captures memories I keep changing So do people Nothing really last But she does As years fly by And the world around me is moving I browse through the albums It holds so much in it Happiness, Sorrow, Vanity and many more She teaches us to be better human beings She kindles relationships She brings tears And she just silently stays forever Without much drama

I woke up early to the silence around me Nature beckoned me to embrace her She was mesmerising and serene I walked in the antique halls Taking in the history and heritage of the place The doors creaked and the walls spoke The patio in the middle of the mountains offered a glimpse As I sat on a stone bench taking in her beauty She stood majestic abiding in her A family of flora and fauna Huge trees and little flowers Chirping blue birds and croaking toads The list went on I sat there taking in much I can She waited patiently As the cool breeze and running water allured me deep into her Thoughts ceased and bliss prevailed After an hour I bid adieu and went to capture more of her

The pain was bearable And I was ready It was not easy But I managed to beat it The world was now tolerable And every breath did not hurt anymore I sighed loudly The memories still haunted me But my nightmare was far and between I could look at the places without tears Just a sigh to remind me of the loss I have finally come to terms with it I was not a great achievement But I began healing

I read the message again I scrolled through the memories I knew I had to let it go But I was too weak for it My eyes were drained of tears Every place reminded me of a memory I wished for a miracle I could change it Maybe it was for the greater good But the pain seemed too much to bear I could not see past it I never understood the brighter side It was too cold and dark And my heart broke into pieces with every thought

We carry our inner child with us wherever we venture. I am not talking about pregnancy. I am talking about our personality which is carefree, innocent and selfless. We try to hold on to as much as we can. We are refined children who have become victims of life by lust for power and money. Still, some characteristics do not change with time. We do mask it with multiple faces. Science might call it genetics. However, we hold on to it tightly in a hope to relish the precious moments. As it happens, life does has other plans and forces us to break the shell. This was the day when I lost mine without realising the implications of it. The kick was so hard that it was reeling for days. I struggled to get a hold of it, but it did not give me time to blink an eye nor gasp for breath. The fatal phone call came during the early hours of the morning. The words which echoed in my ears creeps me out even until today. I was lost and clueless. I had less than ten minutes to decide if I was gonna br

I am cool with it, I proudly declared I do not matter, I told myself If it does not matter, why do keep saying it My inner voice demanded She is just a friend I trust our relationship I reassured myself without believing it I was a little insecure and worried Million of questions corroded me I was pulled me trust and anger I was too scared to talk about it Maybe it was the fear of losing him Or because I was afraid to speak aloud So, never did I agree, That I was possessive

I don't remember the real reason But I remember the pain The hours of agony and stress Contemplating and replaying the scene for the hundredth time The cause did not matter anymore I just wanted to finish it right away And summon the magic However, something stopped me Maybe the experience of my peers Perhaps the unnecessary google searches Maybe Because I did not jinx it I religiously waited for a message With eyes filled with hopes and tears And the smile returned to the phone beeped. 

I am very shocked and disappointed. We have ordered Dahi puri, naan, paneer butter masala and cauliflower Manchurian. The food was OK but the staff was indifferent. They were lost in their own world. A huge rat ran under our table and we are really shocked. We choose a2b for their hygiene and quality. I feel like a breach of trust. I did not touch the food served again and probably will never visit it.
