Little things that make me 'me.'

A part of being human is facing a constant crisis of existence.
I often feel inadequate.
Wonder who I truly am.
Wonder about my very human self, all the quirks & imperfections, whether they make sense, whether I make sense.
What am I made of? Probably lots of naked Nutella waffles. And lemonade. Mushroom cheese caps. CHEESE.
Nerd? Geek? Loner? Maybe an uneven combination.
A bit of "All the bright places." Archie comics.
The Hardy Boys. Matilda. Batman. Amanda Hocking.
Do you realize that we are so invested in the big picture that we forget about the little things that matter? Little things that make you 'you.' Little things that make me 'me.'
Long baths. The color pink. Pajamas. Love for the rains and thunderstorms. Yellow balloons. My bed.
Egg bhurji. Meg Cabot's Airhead. 'Modern Family.' My bookshelf.
I often fall into bottomless dark pits; I'd understand if you do too.
Little things keep me hanging. Things that keep me sane.
Soft pastels and canvas. Masala french fries. 5 hours of sleep. Cycling. Art. Mountains. Netflix. Ice cream cake. Peraltiago. WRITING. The sea.
Hold on to the little things. Express yourself. Look for the stars in the night sky. Walk barefoot on the cold beach sand. Let ‘The Office’ reruns make you laugh.
Wear that little black dress. Live a little because life isn't short. It's the longest thing you do, let all the little things make this whirlwind called life worth it..!!!

What do you do when your best friend is crying?

What do you do when your best friend is crying? There are a few persons whom you never wish to see with tears in their eyes. I attended college as usual. It was a regular Saturday afternoon; the cultural activities were in full swing. More deafening cheers accompanied loud music from the auditorium. I kept calling her from half an hour; she did not answer. She was nowhere to be seen too. I inquired few of our mutual friends if they had seen her around. "She is always with you," said one. "Heard you guys fought," giggled another. "What rubbish ya! They're best friends, they wouldn't have fought," argued a third. I smiled and left the place, still searching. There she was sitting in a corner, engaged busily on her phone. This pissed me off. I walked up to her and said, "Answer your phone." She looked up; her eyes were teary and red. "You crying?" I asked in disbelief. "No," she said. Her voice was thick. "Is it beca...

To Baburao Ganpatrao Apte

To Baburao Ganpatrao Apte, There's something about you that left an indelible laughter in my mind ever since the first time I saw you on screen. Wait, do you understand you are no comedian or joker. You are an alcoholic, debt stricken bloke always swaying to and fro between Raju's cunning mind and Shyam's righteous attitude. You affirmed your seniority everywhere but you never made any sense to me or anyone out there. Tenants need to pay their rent. You get it right? On my off days, when I see your unadulterated smile it bewilders me - I mean how can this man live with such conviction and ease. What about his isolated life? His debts? These questions linger on my mind. It's not okay to be unambitious and surrender to your fate but when life doesn't give you 'Star Fisheries', you can always show some content in your dilapidated 'Star Garage'. Your innocent gullibility, incorruptibility and rustic lunacy bought chuckles. Well, you need to learn that Sh...

Dear Kabira

Dear Kabira, I don't know what's perfect, the lyrics or the feelings you say which I fail to express. Sometimes you meet some songs that melt you from the places you are afraid to touch. Re Kabira Maan Jaa (रे कबीरा मान जा) Re Faqeera Maan Jaa (रे फ़कीरा मान जा) Aaja Tujhko Pukaare Teri Parchhaaiyan (आजा तुझको पुकारे तेरी परछाईयाँ) Your heart just can't stop beating for the lines that play with all the untouched memories you have. Loneliness engulfs you, it tears you part by part and this song just makes you feel everything you hide from the world. This song calls you to be back home and realise your home needs you. It questions why do you want to wander for answers when your home is right there in front of you? Your shadow is calling you back. Come home. Tooti Chaarpaai Wohi (टूटी चारपाई वही) Thandi Purvaai Rasta Dekhe, (ठंडी पुरवाई रस्ता देखे) Doodhon Ki Malaai Wohi (दूधों की मलाई वही) Mitti Ki Suraahi Rasta Dekhe (मिट्टी की सुराही रस्ता देखे) This song gives beautiful me...
