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 and enjoy it, instead of cribbing. I know a lot of us who are not used to this..are itching  to step out. Yes even i feel the urge, but this is a time to just follow what the guidelines are in order to protect us and people around us.

An unforgettable experience was experienced today (22-03-2020) when the our PM- Narendra Modi told the citizens to clap  from our balconies for the healthcare team of the country and show them our support. OMG! the way everyone came together to show love and support was an incredible experience. the whole idea was to thank them for their efforts. From Indias richest and the most famous to the slum dwellers came together to show respect. Never ever experienced something like that before hence thought of putting it out there.

Will blog soonly. 💜

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

Dadu, my only love. Will miss you

Until We Meet Again, dadu, I love you.  A note to you, heartbroken one: Today, we say our goodbyes to one of the most incredible men I have ever met in my entire life. we feel the empty void very clearly. The head of the family is no longer here with us, He lived a good life a really good one I would say. Whatever he wished wanted has always come true.  But we know that he is no longer in pain, and is now in a place that is more amazing than the best possible day here on Earth. We also know that this is just a temporary goodbye. We know we will see him again. I wrote dadu a letter a couple of days ago. I process things and express myself best in writing, so this was my way of saying goodbye to him. I never want to forget this letter. I love you, dadu . I can’t believe I’m writing this letter to you. I guess I never thought about what it would be like when you would no longer be here. You have always been such a key part of my life, and such a steadfast and healthy part; I never let mys

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
