Lockdown(+a secret)

 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.

And I did. I am editing this draft after 22 days! Totally got lost in each day that passed by.

I've been writing poems, incomplete songs, a lot of assignments(haha!) and also making some music.

The only thing I thought would help to make a change in both the blog and our day was a poem. So, here you go. I am sharing my first poem with you all. 


Who I Am

The clock stops ticking,
Words come by,
To hear the voice speaking 
That's never made a sigh.

For tomorrow shall see
There'll be no pain, no clutter.
Just a new world that has to be
Enough for each to flutter.

Shines under sunlight,
Withers in rain. 
The end is far from sight,
Fades away the pain.

There's no sea, no ocean,
No place I'd rather see. 
But, who I am-
Is all I promise to be.

-Divya Hari Kumar


I wish I could fix this but for now, I am sending a lot of positivity and happiness.

Stay safe and keep smiling through all this. The world needs you!

I'll be back with more words and thoughts. 

:)

fiction

Hey! This one's for all the times I've thought about something and never spoke about it.  Sometimes I wish that my life was some kind of fiction. It often seems to be rather perfect. The way every turn and twist meets a lovely little girl that the main character grows into.  That's exactly how it is. When I think about choosing between a movie and a series, I think about how I could ever fit my own life into a movie with all the details and then I end up asking myself who'd watch this never ending list of episodes if it were a series. It's an infinite loop and I keep trying to find the errors. They say that in the last seven minutes of your life you get to watch all your memories. Some good, some bad but all yours. Something you keep, hold on to, no matter what. Imagine the same life being woven with words and written on a book.  Would it be considered as fiction?  What if it is to someone hoping to live that life? But, have you ever wondered how fictional stories o...

I Have Questions

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...

Fast Forward To Freeze

 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.  ...
