50 th blog special!

Hey everyone, I’m back after a little break!

Did my readers miss my words🥺? Even one reader thinking of my words was enough to get me writing again… despite being ill..

Yesterday!

Image
Yesterday felt complete. Because my favourite professor presented me with a diary Because it was the last offline working day Because all the classes were fun Because the last hour was a group activity Because it was rain and sunset together Because of the giggles And the unbearable belly laughs. Yesterday was special. Was it so special? Wasn’t it ordinary? No, it wasn’t for the last six months. Though it rained, Though both the sun and clouds coexisted, Though we, as friends, were together, Yesterday felt different—real, genuine. The old energy is back. The moment we realised It’s still the same spark, The same bond, The same charisma, The same love is Alive between us. Yesterday was special. Another win is Having made a plan out of a WhatsApp group, And actually executing it amidst heavy rain. Having tried new snacks Without running behind time and the bill, Eating them all, Fulfilling the inner child’s stomach and soul. Having taken selfies Despite being shy and awkward. Yesterday w...

Say and Do

Say and Do, Not only the spelling of these two words differs, But the meanings do too. Only One in a million Doesn’t know the difference, Whereas others, The whole population — Know what the word “Say” denotes And what the word “Do” denotes. Yet we just pretend, As if we are great actors. It begins in childhood, Gets worse in adulthood, And in old age, A few realise and succeed, Whereas others regret And find it difficult to cope. It all starts with small promises. We used to say, “I promise you, Mom,” But with the left hand, Or By twisting the middle and Index fingers, So that those words are just words, not action. So Say & Do isn’t a new thing for us. It grows As a habit, Or develops as A trait itself. It should be pruned like a weed in a plant, But instead, pesticide is sprayed, And we fail to remember that  Any day it's unhealthy. Adulthood worsens it. Food, fashion, fitness, studies, and life choices — Everything makes a cameo. At times, I wonder, Are we really being acto...

AGING

Aging Is aging fine? Losing your loved ones, Losing your balance over your body, Losing things around you, Losing memory, Losing yourself one day. People say — embrace oldness. But is it easy for all? For the one who cannot walk who once was running, For the one who cannot taste anymore their favourite food, For the one with no money left to buy, For the one with no strength to carry the weight of sorrow, For the one who feels their very existence might hurt. It is difficult. Not everyone crosses this stage happily. Some live with fear — that one day they will vanish not only from life, but from memory too. Yet, no matter what — their presence, their love, their care, their anger, their possessiveness, their sweetness — will remain as pieces that still glow, in a place time cannot touch.
