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..!!!

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

Biryani without Elaichi

16.06.15 I'm not one of those who can manage to maintain their diary every night, but today is special. Thanks to A common friend, she convinced me to meet her second best friend (like she termed it when she saw my look). Well, it was her who introduced us, but it was us who had the conversation, a conversation I could never imagine myself in, especially with someone I had just met. I wish I could write the whole talk, but it's too much after a long break I took. To summarize- how it's so difficult to find Biryani without Elaichi, experiences with lizards and cockroaches, weird encounters with aunties in trains, blah blah. I also had a delicious Vadapav, but surprisingly now, I have a faint memory of it. All I remember was, the scooty ride back home, I was smiling. Today is the day; I met Ashini. 17.06.15 Now when I think of it, it's strange, how a foodie doesn't remember the taste a Vadapav, how an introvert decided to meet a stranger and melt in her presence. She

Tea for Two!

 I pour water in the bright red pot, gleaming on the outside, a bit rusty on the inside. Red was always your color. Your wardrobe was literally fifty shades of it. The familiarity and warmth of the color red make me smile as I bring it to boil. “Look for angry water bubbles,” you used to say when you were teaching me how to make tea instead of stacking my kitchen counter with instant coffee sachets. I take out the twin tin containers marked “sugar” & “tea” off the cabinet and carefully put them in, systematically counting the number of teaspoons and measuring the amount in each. “I prefer coffee,” I used to whine but would still let you hold my hand as we put in the sugar, not too much, not too less, surprisingly always the right amount. Then in went the tea leaves, a bit less than I'd like, I always had a taste for intense flavors. But I rarely complained for I knew how much you valued your perfect, daily cup of tea. I then pour in the milk, thinking how I'd never been abl
