An Alternate Universe

Hey! When I almost thought I had to search for stories, I found myself enjoying a little one from my own life and absolutely forgot it's been more than a year since I started sharing them. So yay!  It's been a year of stories, excitement, and happiness. I couldn't have been happier today for alllll that I learned so far.  A busy week packed with birthdays of all of my closest friends and those who are new to my life. Here goes another story in my book. I've been trying to write a new blog every now and then but these stubborn words end up as drafts. Now, I'm going to consider this as my diary entry just in case I come back to it a few years later to experience how I felt exactly. Today, I stood on this stage and saw all these little faces representing all the thoughts in their heads between the orange highlights. I wish I knew how to look right back and smile. For once, I felt like time stopped. It had taken a pause to let me breathe and float into my wo...

Hey! While I'm almost about to believe that my blog has become my diary now xD I am back at asking questions that have millions of answers. Some might as well say that it's an endless loop in the lifetime. Now, that reminds me of LIFE.  Everything is almost back-to-normal exceptttttt this time I have a different perspective. Almost, a polished one that shines enough for me to write a blog, make a song, and let the words dance. What is life? Is it a thing, a person, or a place? What is it, really? I see it everywhere sometimes and then, I don't see it at all.  Is it what happens when the biker on the other side of the road is busy scrolling on Instagram or when the cute, little confused puppy finds its way back home? But, what if it's also when the man who sold pipes of different colors waiting to light up his home just as colorful for Diwali smiles throughout?  Life could also be the fresh smell of jackfruit which brings back golden old vibes.  Yesterday, life felt l...

 Hey! I'm not sure about where and how to start with this blog. It's been quite some time since I wrote something down. So, let's say this is my diary for a day. Also, a small message to everyone :) Dear You, I know you are reading this and wishing to go somewhere far away. In the back of my mind, I am doing it too. Anyways, let's go back to March 2020.  Or maybe February? Somewhere close to my farewell and prep for boards.  Were you happier than you are today?  Honestly speaking(not literally, so writing), I was one of the happiest people back then because life was moving quickly. Today, I still am minus the fact that there were many highs and lows after that. There is a belief deep down in my heart that I could've been even happier.  So, let's travel through the year inside my head for a while. Farewell. Boards. LOCKDOWN. Exams. LOCKDOWN.  Where do we go now?  Memories? Photographs?  Wait a sec! We could go to a real place in real-time today....

 Hey! Hop in to go for another adventure in my life.  So, being a very lazy person I notice when things around me change.  I imagine myself standing calmly between two seconds, one that just passed and the other that brings the future.  Trying to draw this scene that's standing before my eyes just seems difficult, a little complex. The background seems to be a bit blur but I know exactly how much change has occurred within that tiny little time phase.  It just nullifies the entire universe and stops for me to think. I'd forget about how wavelength doesn't depend on momentum, why dx/dt is not simply speed, or what header files I should stuff into my program.  I seem to have gotten into this roller coaster but one which is slower and doesn't have just as less twists.  Now, on a train going to this particular destination that is far but visible. Running is just pointless because no matter how fast I run I'm only going to reach when the train stops.  ...

I woke up. I woke up when I saw myself dead. I felt peaceful in the coffin till I realized that I am not dead yet.  I have a purpose, too many wishes, and big dreams.  Above all, I have a God who I will have to answer when I am gone.  I have questions that aren't answered and many more poems that are unfinished. Where are we when we dream?  Why do people die?  What if you're an imaginary character in my dream?  What if I'm in yours?  What if we're all just puppets that he has made for his show?  What if we don't get to meet each other when the curtains are closed? What if we never met?  Too many questions and each one has about a million different answers. It's too easy to ask questions but it takes a lifetime to understand their answers.  I'm searching for them just like you are, in between these voids and spaces of time. I search for something that's not hidden. I don't know which version of me will I be tomorrow but who I want to beco...

Hey! One of the most beautiful days of our lives is our birthday. All smiles on this day. The silver lining is when the sky turns grey and the clouds cry.  People post pictures, make videos and give gifts but the only thing that we forget is to thank one's existence and appreciate their beauty.  Beauty can't be idealized. To be honest, it doesn't even have a perfect definition even though the dictionary might say otherwise. The most beautiful people are the ones who are beautiful inside out, the ones that smile away when they're appreciated, and have tears in the side of their eyes when they laugh. We meet them every day and they are the ones that make us feel alive. Giving you a quick update on how I spent the last few days- Collecting smiles and making memories. During the lockdown, the one thing that got neglected is self-appreciation. And most people don't accept they are beautiful and those who are truly beautiful don't know that they are.  I wanted this da...
