GoodOldDays

Janmashtami was just another holiday for me till I went to college.

The elaborate 'jhakis' depicting stories from the life of Lord Krishna, the singing and dancing, which technically was more like a continuous live performance, since we had to sing and dance way past midnight (the time when Lord Krishna was said to be born), till our hostel/college gate was closed. The cherry on top was the competition between faculties/departments which used to make us even more eager to be a part of the preparations and the rehearsals than to attend classes at this time of the year.

Since then, Janmashtami, for me is more than the celebration of HIS birth, it symbolizes bondings and friendships with a hint of nostalgia. It was a wholesome feeling. Tiring, sure, but a sense of association and inclusion which I highly doubt could be found anywhere else, ever again!

None of us had cameras back then and not many of us had good camera phones as well, but whatever hazy and disoriented photos I have, they are a bunch of treasure for me!

Part of being an adult is to make yourself understand that not every acquaintance is a friend.

And that friendship is Not everyone's cup of tea!

So Thank You who, over the years, stuck with me,

I owe you my sanity!

There's a subtle difference between reply and conversation, that only words can convey!

Art of conversation is rare these days.

So if you find someone with whom u can actually converse, from nonsense to necessary, don't loose them!

The unknown unknowns ❣️🔭

Day 1

I just refuse to believe!

Day 5

I find myself asking how everyone seems to believe such an absurd thing.

Day 7

It has been a week and I am beginning to afraid that it is not just a rumor, and the pictures are not photo-shopped.

Day 11

The messages left even before you did. I was so angry with you for deleting everything that I never talked to you after that. How can I convince myself that the conversation was real?

Day 14

Even after two weeks, you continue to remain somewhere else. I however am starting to hate you because if what the authorities are saying is true then you are selfish!…and if what people are saying is true then I do not know whom to be angry with! I could write to you but the fear that you won’t reply is stopping me!

Day 18

Those few lines were all I had, and you were selfish to take them away!

Day 21

It is said that it takes 21 days to make something a habit; it is wrong!

I just can't believe that how can you make your entire family go through something that they already faced once before, including you!

Had I wrote more often to you, would that have helped? May be.....May be not!

We will never know!

Day 23

I am still not sure about how mind works, but those self musings of yours kept me afloat to certain extent. They were one of my safety valves.

You always solved a situation with logic and mathematics! What is your explanation for this? What is the correlation and what is the causation of it!?!?

"The mere observation of a phenomenon inevitably changes that phenomenon". isn't it?
I am observing, yet the phenomenon of your non-existence is not changing.

Day 25

Your eyes were always up above the world so high that I can only hope that you are one of the diamonds in the sky.

Without sharing a physical space you shared the absolute mental space with so many like me!

Thank you!

I know your energy is now travelling through different quantum realms and you are having the time of your life. I hope you find better people there!

Day 28

Letting go is hard. I know you would say that,

"time takes over eventually" 

but I know you also said that

"we can co-exist in different planes" 

and so I will, from now on, assume that you are in the parallel universe and I hope you find a way to do what you love. I may not be able to see you but I hope you find a way to look over your loved ones.

Day 30

People say that you are at peace. What they don't know is that you are not at rest. The list of dreams that you could not do in this plane, I pray that you find some way to carry them out, wherever you are, so that finally you can rest.

Last one month has not been the same and in a way it never will. I will keep your quotes closer to me but stop talking about you, because "ultimately that is what is suppose to happen".

Time will pass, routine will take over our lives and you will be forgotten.

You never deserved that.

You deserved better.

“As long as you were,

I was.

Now just in my memories,

I come alive.

Like that shadow,

But

Just flickers.

Time doesn’t move here,

It’s beautiful mother,

It’s forever.” ~ SSR

p.s. you owe me the “book exchange”. I will make sure we do that, even if it is on another realm, under some other stars and within another reality!

Sometime your heart needs a little more time to accept what the mind already knows!

Places to be!

|| Go to the terrace,

Look up the sky,

Read the clouds,

And imagine you too can fly.

If terrace is not an option,

Opt for a balcony,

Observe the lonely roads,

They tell stories uncanny.

If you do not have balcony,

Worry not there's more,

Watch travel videos online,

Though virtual but for a second you too can explore.

If all the things fail,

Turn off all the lights and hear jazz,

Feel the touch of music,

And relax those spaz.

After a while,

You can see through dark,

It has its own tale,

It will let you know if you wish to hark!

Nature ventures as usual,

While people sigh,

Even if everything is closed,

Look at the world through your inner eye ||
