Killing nostalgia

How often do we think about the past, reminisce and enjoy the pleasant memories? As a young adult, I currently go through a traumatic roller coaster of emotions, overwhelmed by how time flies and how I miss being me. The old-plain-mischievous-little me! It was recently that I realised a little detail that made me feel …

The beauty of things that never happen!

"My faith in you is fading...." - Sang Taylor Swift in her "Love story". But we all have blurred faiths everyday, don't we. Because bad days and bad chapters are all parts of everyone's lives. Though, staying positive might sound all optimistic, irony is that, we are all walking the path of fake optimism. We …

To Florence – The city of Flair

I was 14 years old when I picked up a novel starring the female protagonist, Susan Fletcher and David Becker, her fiancé and an eminent professor. I barely had any idea on the book or how it was going to change the rest of my life. The book I am talking about is, "Digital Fortress" …

Embracing endurance

Life isn't what it seems to be. Because gravity doesn't hold true for emotions and desires. You might love what you are doing at the moment. But the question is how far you'd go to keep holding on to this thing. Will you still love it 10 or 20 years down the lane is a …

Flowers that enshrouded Fame

Ever since I started up my PhD, I've been suffering from ultimate self-doubt. By this, I mean every single day, every single moment at lab, I could barely concentrate and work or read papers or do assignments. I've been insomniac, rarely seeking help, making people believe I was all fine and happy, until I actually …

The desolated omnivert

Anything and everything seems all nice and fine until you reach a point in life where you wish to change to see the so-called, "better version" of yourself. This happened with me as well. To someone who has been an omnivert (a.k.a ambivert) life has always been easy. I took up the privilege of switching …

You, Me and Mani sir

You, me and Mani Sir This was something I have always wanted to write, but managed to make it today. As a kid, a growing up teen or a grown up adult, I have always fantasised the idea of, “What if my life was a movie?”. But right now, at this point in life, I …

Knight in shining armour

It was at 3:29 p.m. when my cracked phone's screen popped up with a notification from WhatsApp reading, "Going for final printing". I jumped out of my snuggly PJ to give myself a shower. After a hustle within the next thirty minutes, I managed to drive my scooter in the sparsely crowded road at 60kmph, …

Blahs and Blues

For all of us living in this world, here is a note “Emotions are inevitable”. No matter who you are, your time on this earth is a roller coaster of emotions. From a full bright smile to a weary worried face. We go through all of this, sometimes with people who stand by us, but …

The Paradoxical Proposal

Dear You-Know-Who, Of course, I am that die-hard Harry Potter fan, but this one is not about Harry or Hermione or about how they saved Hogwarts. This is to( and about) that one person, whom I “Always” wish to have, right next to me. So, Maybe, let me put it this way. If you are …
