Paper Planes

“It never gets easier, missing you. And sometimes I wonder if it ever will.” ―  Heather Brewer ,  Ninth Grade Slays   It seems like centuries, since I had been made to part ways from you. Centuries of togetherness but still loneliness prevailing in the darkest of the corners. Centuries filled with love, but still my heart longing for the love that’s unmatched. Centuries of happiness and bliss, but still my soul craving for that unbounded joy. Centuries filled with rendezvouses with friends and loved ones, but still surviving with the desire to see you once. Centuries of achievements and success, but still yearning to share them with you. Looks like centuries have passed without you being next to me, pampering me, scolding me, guiding me, loving me, sharing my pains and joy, supporting me at every step of my life. Almost every night, these questions trouble my mind, they revolve around my head to find an answer, at times jolting me with such a hard th...

“When we are children we seldom think of the future. This innocence leaves us free to enjoy ourselves as few adults can. The day we fret about the future is the day we leave our childhood behind.”  ―  Patrick Rothfuss , The Name of the Wind I was sitting in the corner of a restaurant with my coffee, lost in my own dreams, my own world, staring meaninglessly at the by-passers. None of them had the ability to pull me back to reality… And then there were 2 girls who passed by mumbling some song, together and that was when, abruptly I was bought back to reality. They were lovely little girls of barely 8-9 years old, wearing beautiful pink and white frocks. I don’t know why, but I loved watching them play.   They engrossed me completely! But then there was something else that was taking my attention away… Dragging me so gravely to my dream world again: the balloons that they were playing with. Balloons with polka dots: white on red and black on green. The...

“You need to let the little things that would ordinarily bore you suddenly thrill you.”  ― Andy Warhol We, recently shifted to a new place. And this time, I really suffered! Because there were so many things and so much paraphernalia. Honestly, I never realised that my house, apart from being my home obviously, was also an inventory to so many goods and chattels.  Anyways, so after shifting, next day when I woke up and saw heaps of cartons lying there in the hall, I almost went into depression. And then , by the evening I felt as if, almost the same amount of cartons were still lying there, kind of teasing me! I decided to shed my superwoman image and call for a help. I asked watchman to send some maid to help me with the same. Next day morning, there were two girls who came, one was 18 and other was 16 years old. Now I gave one to finish my kitchen and other to set up my other rooms and I myself was busy with setting up my books and crockery. Once done w...

“One hundred and fifty years ago, the monster began, this country had become a place of industry. Factories grew on the landscape like weeds. Trees fell, fields were up-ended, rivers blackened. The sky choked on smoke and ash, and the people did, too, spending their days coughing and itching, their eyes turned forever toward the ground. Villages grew into town, towns into cities. And people began to live on the earth rather than within it.”  ― Patrick Ness, A Monster Calls I saw some very upsetting and distressing pictures of what Pollution is doing to our environment, to animals and to our nature. Those pictures had a such a tormenting impact on me, that dragged me into a swap of guilt, because each one of us: intensionally or unintentionally have been a part of this disaster! Guess, we: the human beings are the most dangerous species that has ever existed on the face of this planet! And I accept this self-description without any qualifications. I feel sorry f...

I was watching an IPL match last week in which all the commentators were foreigners. And it was Manish Pandey who was bowling. I really don't remember who was batting or the other team against which KKR was playing :( Anyways it doesn't matter as I am not here to talk about cricket or Manish Pandey or KKR or IPL. Ok... enough, let me straight jump on the point! All the commentators in the panel, as I have already mentioned in the very first line of this write-up were foreigners, were pronouncing Manish Pandey's last name in a very weird way, "Paandii", which is actually correct if you read it letter to letter literally. And we all who were watching the match (and also, who were not watching like me) were so amused and were smiling on the 'cute' pronunciation. And then few of my friends narrated similar kind of tales where some foreigner client calls them or their friend's names in a very funny way. But then later it stuck me, we Indi...

I often find myself getting dragged into these weird, yet desirable dreams. And it happens all the time, yes all the time. I often find myself starring out of the window...staring at nothing, yes, absolutely nothing. But I find peace there, in that dark nothingness!  My mind, my soul remains there, till I compel them to come back, come back to this real world, my real world that is full of thoughts, dreams, desires, cravings, love, pain, hurt, curiosity, excitement, emotions, mistakes... These things make me go strong in this journey to an unknown destination. They make me feel closer to whereever I am heading. Thoughts that comprise of my past, present and future. They make me dizzy, yet make me happy... Dreams, dreams that perhaps everyone has: to become something, to be someone, to achieve something and to make a difference... Desires that keeps me driving on daily basis, desire to be the best, desire to look the best, desire to have and own the best. Desire to b...
