Raat ka safar 🌝

 There's a magical transformation that unfolds every evening as the sun dips below the horizon and the world outside my door is bathed in the gentle glow of streetlights. It's the time when I embark on my ritualistic post-dinner stroll, venturing into the neighborhood park that has become my sanctuary amidst the bustling city life.

As I step into the park, I'm greeted by a lively scene. First, there are the kids, their laughter echoing through the air as they frolic on the swings, their energy seemingly boundless even as the day winds down. And then there are the young moms, a whirlwind of activity as they chase after their little ones, their multitasking skills worthy of admiration.

But it's not just the children who bring life to the park; the canine companions add their own brand of joy to the mix. With tails wagging and tongues lolling, they bound across the grass, as they play fetch or chase each other in playful abandon.

And then there are the older folks, a serene presence amidst the youthful exuberance surrounding them. They sit on benches, basking in the cool evening breeze, their faces etched with the wisdom of years gone by. They're a reminder that life is a journey, and every stage has its own beauty to be savored.

As I weave my way through this tapestry of life, I can't help but smile at the snippets of conversations that drift my way. People gossiping on their phones, their voices carrying in the stillness of the night, adding a touch of drama to the scene. It's as if the park has become a stage, and we're all players in the grand theater of life.

And so, with each step I take, I'm reminded of the simple joys that surround us, of the beauty that can be found in the most unexpected places. The park may just be a patch of green in the midst of concrete jungle, but to me, it's a microcosm of life itself—a place where stories unfold, friendships are forged, and memories are made. And as I make my way home, heart full and spirit light, I carry with me echoes of laughter and the promise of tomorrow's tales.

Me, Myself, and the Awkward Silence ✨

There’s a moment in everyone’s life when you find yourself sitting alone, staring into the void (or Netflix), and wondering, “Am I my own BFF or just a default setting?” Accepting your own company can feel like a solo trek through an emotional mountain range—majestic views, but no one to snap a picture with. The journey of being okay with just you is lonely, awkward, and at times, downright boring. But hey, stick around. The ending promises some fireworks. The Initial Stage: “Who Invited This Silence?” When you’re suddenly left alone—no phone calls, no texts, just you and the sound of your refrigerator humming—you realize how dependent you’ve been on external distractions. That silence feels louder than a concert in your head. But here’s the catch: you need it. Consider it like a detox. The more you sit with it, the less you crave the chaos. And trust me, your fridge hums have rhythm. The Awkward Middle: “Who Even Am I?” This is the part where you question everything. Do I really like ...

Getting Through the Gloom: Because Life Won’t Pause for Sad Days

 Some days just suck. You wake up feeling off, and suddenly, everything feels ten times heavier. The smallest things get to you, and before you know it, you're on the verge of tears—over a misplaced charger. But here’s the catch: life doesn’t stop just because you’re sad. You still have deadlines, responsibilities, and that annoying voice in your head reminding you that breaking down isn’t an option right now. So, what do you do? Step 1: Accept the Mood, But Don’t Let It Win Feeling sad? Cool. Don’t fight it. But also, don’t let it set up camp in your head. Acknowledge it like an unwanted notification—swipe left and move on. Step 2: Function on 'Bare Minimum Mode' Not every day is about thriving; some days are just about surviving. Eat something, drink water, do the essentials, and call it a win. If the only thing you accomplished today was existing, congrats, you did enough. Step 3: Distract, Distract, Distract Too many feelings? Throw some noise at them. Play music, binge...

New Year, Same Me – But With Fresher Hair

You know, year endings are like those overhyped blockbuster movies—you expect fireworks, deep revelations, and maybe a tear-jerking montage. But most of the time, it’s just you, scrolling through highlight reels on Instagram, wearing pajamas, and trying to convince yourself that next year will be your year. But let’s be honest—change doesn’t come gift-wrapped on January 1st with a glittery bow. It sneaks up on you, disguised as random Tuesdays or spontaneous haircuts. Speaking of which, I’m currently typing this while getting my hair chopped. Yes, I decided my "New Year, New Me" era begins with slightly shorter hair and a dramatic stare into the salon mirror. 2024 has been… well, a plot twist. From entrance exams that felt like boss levels in a video game to life handing me some truly unhinged opportunities (seriously, universe, what was that about?), from heartbreaks that felt like sad indie songs to healing that felt like finishing a 1000-piece puzzle—you name it, this year...
