At the bus stop

-
After finishing work, I headed to board a bus at the opposite bus stand. Didn't bother to take note of the bus number till I get near to the door step, then I realised that I was queuing for bus 165. I decided to take a longer route home and that is to stop by the bus stop near his house.

Didn't know I will get glum until I alighted at his bus stop, facing his block. Flashes of memory like snapshots of photograph skip through my head. I had a sudden wistful thought that if he could appear somewhere near for me to see whether he has fend himself well. Past conversations with him at the bus-stop strike hard on me, conversations that are still so fresh and recent to me . The opinions and ideas that we once shared at the bus-stop, the futile attempts of carrying him over my back, the silly dances that I once did to make him laugh and serious talk of the future.The non-stop texts that he used to give me .

I can't help but feel glum at that moment, when I recalled that we clicked so well. We clicked so well , as deep in my heart I know clearly that he is a good friend to me.

I am going to post the joy month wise so here it goes Jan  – Okay so jan was pretty nerve wrecking as I had applied for a short course at Harvard and I was so damn nervous cause I have no major background to be a part of this prestigious IVY league.

Nothing is Permanent

If you suffer, it is not because things are impermanent.It is beacuse you believe things are permanent .When a flower dies , you dont suffer much, because you understand that flowers are impermanent.But you cannot accept the impermenance of your beloved one , and you suffer deeply. If you look deeply into impermanance, you will do your best to make her happy right now.Aware of the impermanance, you become positive,loving & wise.Impermanance is good news.Without impermamance nothing would be possible.with impermanance every door is open for change.It is an instrument gor our liberation

A letter to Grishma 10 years from now

When I was in 8th / 9th standard, I started to keep a diary where I wrote down all my thoughts and secrets. From my frustrations with the exam results, to my friend’s secret story , to my own version of chicken soup for the soul, It would’ve been nice if I can read again what I wrote then and maybe tap into my old self. Unfortunately, however, I’m an idiot who misplaced that diary. Much thanks to the internet, I can now keep a diary and read it anytime, anywhere. And so, I’ve decided to write a letter, addressed to my self ten years from now. By then, I’d be 34, and maybe, just maybe… I’d still be very happy. Dear 34 y/o Grishma, How are you? I honestly hope and pray that you’re doing well and that things have turned out the way you planned them to. Have you seen the world yet? I know you have always wanted to do that, to get out of this place, not to run away from it all but to experience the world as it was made to be. By now, I’d assume you’ve been to Japan, Australia and America al...
