I was a tennybopper.

 Found something I wrote when I was really young and going through my second break-up. It was actually written in my diary and I thought this should make it to my blog. Found it cute. I mean heartbreaks made me write, write well :)  Blue moon rising on a stormy night The point of no return, drifting apart Whispers on the wind Words: disappointment dejection disillusioned rejection Reflections in the moment precious moments After the rain I will survive letting go Spring is coming soon a new beginning inner peace

Rainy. Cuddly. Just perfect.

It's dark And it's cold The night so beautiful  It's raining It's thundering Tonight is the night  I love the rain I love the thunder And the lightening too I lay under my blanket wondering With a pounding heart. Today is rainy. A chili type day, though I don’t have any. Cuddly weather, the kind I like.   It's a day off. Feels like it should be. I have spent a good chunk of it aggressively finishing all phone calls, emails, contracts.  Also planning, worrying, wishing, time wasting, resetting the wifi router, and offcourse overthinking. I have checked off a major portion of my To Do list. 10 or so items are floating around in my brain that need to be added to the To Do list but frustratingly won't come back to mind when I'm ready to write them down. More worrying follows. The house is fairly clean and neat, and that makes for a joyful yellow kitchen light across white counters, to counter the soggy greyness outside.

My obsession with the night sky.

Image
It has always been my favourite thing to do  - stare at the night sky. To look upward and inward. The stars above so too within. This is both our romanticism and longing. Beyond the vastness of the unknown. Magic and infinity. An unknown future. Creative and curious creatures, builders, dreamers and destroyers. Lovers. The night, its sky and our place within. My obsession with the night sky. Where we are and who we are as we twirl and gaze out, spin and reflect. Sometimes, we tamper our emotions and order our chaos.. The Night Sky reminds us of who we are, our true self and place within. Desire and wonder. Energy and matter. Above and below.

Netflix and Chill has been taken TOO SERIOUSLY!

Some interesting stuff that I watched over the past two months in Quarantino ;)  Call My Agent (Netflix)   - Its a French tv series on the talent managers and how they handle every situation and what the job entails. It was quote relatable and interesting. 3 seasons and 18 episodes.  I also brushed up a bit on the language. Ah!Oui je parle un peu de francais ;)  Unorthodox  (Netflix)  - This was so intriguing on the Hasidic jew community set in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, New York. It exposes the extreme culture of this particular sect and their lifestyle. This series is based on a book Unorthodox : The Scandalous Rejection of My Hasidic Roots by Deborah Feldman. The fundamental belief of Hasidism is “change nothing,” or continue to follow the same lifestyles that were followed when the group began. Hasidic Jews believe that the Torah, the five books of Moses, is the literal word of God. . Esty Shapiro ( Shira Has) the protagonist is outstanding and the way she flees to Germany a

This Time - This time you will never get back

So lots of us are cribbing at this time, the entire country is in quarantine. It's been 8 days..and another 20 to go. I am just saying that make the most of it. We will never get this time back again. We will never get this break..of-course working from home but the time that we have, the extra time . Its amazing. Like i am really enjoying it. We will not even know and it will be over. It is just okay to slow down and just take a back seat. Wake up, listen to the birds chirp   🦅 - no sound of vehicles or traffic whatsoever. Cool breeze ⛰  - no pollution, clean air. Eat home food 🥘  - make your own- the way you like it - just the way you like it. Your pace  🐢 - Do things at your pace- no rush-hush- deadline. Light candles 🕯  - a different fragrance everyday- light your room-light from within Write 🖊  - I am not a seasoned writer. I can only write if I am feeling something strongly. And since the time I have been at home, feeling so many things, it's so good to

Welcome to the times of Uncertainty

Image
Nobody creates from a place of certainty. You can’t predict the future. You never could. Nobody can. Despite this fact, you took action in the past. You made brave decisions without absolute proof. You loved without knowing if your love would be rejected or returned. You did things you were not sure would work. You tried, knowing you might fail. You trusted things would work out. And if they didn’t your resilience enabled you to try again. We are our most creative in times of uncertainty.😊

March 2020 - A time unforgettable

Helllooo Quarantiners! Hows it going? Let me talk about myself. Its day  9 of staying  quarantined  at home. I have never been home for  such a long time.  Like i have gone on holidays.. taken breaks but never sat at home for such a long period of time. And i must tell you it feels good . Actually I am WFH. So every morning we have a call at 930am and by then I am ready to like start work ( not showered but) I end up finishing all my work by 1230-1pm as there are no disturbances no colleagues  to faff with... you just ending up focusing on work and finishing it. Post that i have lunch..and then start to read interesting work related news, features, e-books, podcasts. Infact I have also taken up an online course. I am done with all of this by 6pm and obviously working in between all the reading. I start watching some international content..not English. Watched a few French, Spanish films. For most of us who have never had the opportunity to stay home..must make the most of it

A little bit of internalising and writing..

Lets not judge, get the facts.  This lesson is about social media. One thing I’ve learned about our generation is we often judge based on what we see online, when in reality we haven’t a BREEZE! We run with something even though we might not even know half of the story. Always remember that social media only shows you PART of someone’s life. I think I focused on this a lot over the past few months. I really stress to not compare yourself to people online. They aren’t showing you their failures, they aren’t showing you their arguments with their husbands, they are showing you what they WANT to show you. I know 90% of wouldn’t dream of commenting or sending a nasty message to someone but sadly there are the other 10% that have no problem with this. So before you screenshot a photo for your what’s app group to gossip about that person, think twice. We all need to remember that there are real people behind that screen with real feelings like you reading this. I know that with a growing
