A Golden Era.

As I write today, I can’t help but wish I was back at my school desk writing the syllables.
What happened? Where did the time go? I swear it was only yesterday, i was out in the park playing cricket with friends who are now only a happy memory of my childhood. I still remember my first day at school, and oh how did i forget that stepping into college the very first day felt exactly the same. Too scared of all the new people around me, with whom i have to spend the next four years with, all those unknown faces made me quiver from inside.
“I wish that i could go back in time, to relieve those days free of worries, when i used to wait for the clock to strike 5:00 so i could go out and play. Oh! How i miss those days when i used to tour the city with my cycle gang, and play cricket in front of my little castle. I wish that i could turn back time to the days when we used to fight for the little things, so i could relieve it all again.”
We have come a long way.

Switching from using a pencil to pen in 5th standard was the first time we all felt like we’ve entered our adulthood, didn’t it? Well we kind of did, mistakes could have been erased while using pencil, but with that blue ink on the paper it was impossible to erase those mistakes staring right back at us.
So many things have changed since then, from the posters on the walls, to family photos, from falling asleep on the couch to magically waking up on the bed (oh that was amusing to me), from waking up to mum’s voice to hearing that annoying alarm ring in the morning., from waiting eagerly for the dinner to making it myself today, but what i miss the most is not having to worry about my sleep as i could literally fall asleep at any time of the day and everyone would love me for that ( hands down it was the best thing).
But today, as i sit here writing, all those memories come back to me as a happy one, i long for those days. I wish, i really wish i could turn back time, (but  am not kiterestu nor do i have a doraemon), so that’s pretty much impossible.
All that am left with today are those happy and fun memories that make me smile everytime they cross my mind.
So here’s to our lost Childhood

TWO LIVES IN ONE

“Do you read often?”   The little kid asked me, looking at me as if asking for an answer in the most poetic yet simple manner. “I do, when I need to escape the reality.” “Now what is that supposed to mean, why would you like to escape the reality when it’s all you have?” *****                                                                                                There is a war going on, the one which we fight with ourselves and the one where the heart and mind are  cursed to exist together in the same being. “Oh! What would I give to feel and not to think” and  “Maybe I  would silence the beating of this erratic thunder going on inside me that clouds my thoughts” “kisse chupaye ghumta hai tu khud ko, khwaabon ko sath liye apne man ko peeche chorde, kyu bhag rha h kisse bhag rha hai tu” 'There was a horrible, erratic thumping in  my  chest, as if a large  bird  was trapped  inside my  ribcage and  beating  itself to death.&#

 There is a very ordinary word in the English dictionary that holds a truly inspiring meaning to it. “Perseverance” In Simple terms, it means: “ Continued effort to do or achieve something, even when this is difficult or takes a long time ” These simple words as defined by the Cambridge dictionary may seem ordinary to one but they hold an infinite pool of motivation for someone who never stops trying even in the face of adversity, failure, or delay. Perseverance isn't just a quality; it's a mindset that propels us forward through challenges, setbacks, and uncertainties. It's about staying committed to our goals, even when the path gets tough. You know the saying right?  Things are going to be difficult.  But you, You are going to be difficult-er  XD Be a problem to your problems, mark your territory!! Well, to be honest, you may not have heard of this saying cause I just made it up! LOL!                          As we navigate our careers, we encounter obstacles

“khud ki talash mei khud ko hi kho rahe hai hum” #lost myself along the way to discover who I am “You broke your promise” My 10 year old self screams at me. I stand still, looking into her eyes that twinkle with hopes and dreams, a new dream every day, a new hope, a new goal, a new promise to self, a new moment worth remembering, within a second I see all of myself that I left behind a long time ago. Today when I look back, I realize I left a part of me that I never realized I ever had. “ Into the starry night, I gaze into infinity, wishing upon a falling star, will it fulfill my wishes or pass by like any other dead star” I have gazed into infinity, talked to an unknown body that doesn’t exist but seems to grant wishes, maybe the hope of finding myself, the old me who dreamt with eyes wide open kept me going, to search a little deeper, to look into the unknown, to wish upon a dying star. But today I stand here, on the verge of tomorr
