A Person I Always Wished to Know

They say, I was a month old when he passed away. But somehow, he still exists in my life, in the stories of my mother..the stories which are always relating to the communication we have.. As a child, i used to be scared of him. He came out as a very strict and aggressive person to me.. I used to look at his portrait and have a sensation of a man with audacity in his veins.. They say, when i was born he told them that I ll be a girl who will never let my parents down..  And am happy i have kept his words till now.. After listening to the various anecdotes of my mother's unmarried life and noticing him in the photographs of my parents' wedding album, his representation has changed.. I have started liking him. He appears as a very intelligent, dignified and honorable man in the society.. His accidental death depicted what a selfless man he was..a man who sacrificed his life for the lives of many..
I have a curiosity..often on the long walks in the garden his thought crops up and I doubt how much i would have got along him.. i mean would it have been the same way i had with my grandfather? or more? I bet i would have been smarter because of his share of knowledge or maybe he would have been so amiable that I shared all my secrets..He could have been my best friend too.. O' wait, what if...we have some similarities? or what if I am completely like him? lol..kidding...there is no way the latter is gonna be true...because the basic part of my personality is I am kinda selfish ...errr...but what if...I had known my maternal grand dad?

Revisiting.

When I was young, Oh, when I was young... Everything was so much fun. Had no dreams, had no pun, but oh, it was so much fun. The hugs from mama, learning skates, learning to ride a bicycle and the dance with papa. The fights with di and the games too.. Telling on her to mom and dad, and the midnight stories too.. No cellphone, no wifi, Even the cable was out, Had a playground, had a school, and there was plenty happiness, no doubt There were friends, who brought plenty smiles Them, I still dream of, After the closing of blinds... And now, Oh its still good,, With the new world around.. but the old days, I will always miss their sound.

Why Solo Travel might be Overrated

There are people who claim to love travelling alone. They claim that it helps them know themselves "better" and have some me-time. But, I live in a city where I face language barrier and have to spend a lot of time alone. Thus, when it comes to travelling, I doubt if I would ever want to go to another place far away and wish to do the same. Roam around alone with no one to giggle with. It is hard to accept that you don't enjoy me-time, as other people have this opinion that "intelligent" people would always love to do the same. There are billion intelligent, shit-crazy thoughts that pass through their mind when they are travelling and they can manage everything all by themselves. Why would you want to spend time alone, when you rarely get to enjoy a family time? Where is the world taking you? When you are out there on the beach all by yourself, won't you miss your funny friend who makes you giggle all the time? Won't you want to be with a partner ...

That Overused Term.

Ever think of love? What are the chances that a person could fall in love madly and deeply, to the extent that it consumes them? 10 times? Or maybe only once? They say those who do not seek it, those who do not fight for it, might not even find it. They may spend their entire lives, either hung over someone who they loved and lost, or settle for someone they do not even love. Under societal pressures or because of their own loneliness? But people have felt that emotion throughout history. Some find it in separation, which is also known to be the strongest of all the loves that exist. The dire need to look at someone and feel alive. The missing that is so powerful that it overtakes your mind and body. In the times of quarantine, the strings of your own heart can very well be understood. It is all peaceful out and there is a certain deafening silence. It could make you hear your soul, for you have nowhere to escape. Immerse yourself in books and movies as much as you want, but ...
