||The magic beans..



Another lazy Sunday morning and I'm sitting with a cuppa steaming coffee in hand. Yet again, I feel like sitting back and doing nothing. There's a sword of exams hanging over my head and I continue to avoid it deftly. Although how bad its gonna cost me later, I don't know. Or I do know, I've gone through hundreds of sleepless pre-exam nightmarish nights before. But oh well, old habits die hard.

So, yeah, COFFEE! Not exams. I've been digressing a lot lately. People say my mind is elsewhere, wandering off in someone's thoughts... Ughh! Coffee! The title says The Magic Beans, which is what I take coffee to be. No, not the kind of beans you collect in games, these ones are special and available at a CCD near you, or any shop for that matter. "A lot can happen over coffee." True, that. This is why CCD's are my favourite place in the world. They come up with all these innovative ideas, which by the way, are also true. I mean, yes, a lot does happen over coffee. Friendships can be made and broken, a relationship can go a step ahead or back, all while two people sit there in comfortable couches and sip from a mug of hot or cold coffee.

For me, coffee is something that makes me fearless. Hard to comprehend, but true. It convinces you that everything that you do is okay, as long as it makes you happy. Overthinking the drama of your friends? Fighting exam fever? Planning strategies to deal with archenemies? Or just jealous of seeing that guy with someone else? Coffee's your, well not the knight in shining armour, but the rescuer in a porcelain mug! So gulp down that brown, heartwarming liquid and be your best self. You'll feel fearless, trust me. You'll go slap those backstabbing friends, find the zeal to work hard in your acads, make friends with the archenemy, and show that guy what he's missing.

Till you do that, Ciao! ;)

||Tell me why..

He nudged her to bring her out of her reverie. She was lost again, zoned out, overthinking. "Penny for  your thoughts? Or do you want it to be punny?" She laughed in that way she only laughed with him and broke out of her spell. It was easy being around him, effortless. It didn't matter what she had to do to be near him or how many intolerable yet genius puns she had to endure to hear him giggle at his own damn jokes. Maybe that's exactly why she couldn't describe what about him made her happy. She had been asked that often, a lot, really. And she couldn't figure out how anybody who knew him even the tiniest bit couldn't understand it. It felt natural for her to gravitate towards him because he was it. Not in the epic love story and grand gestures way but just the I-can-just-be-myself-around-you-and-you-put-me-at-ease way. She was wound up and every year of her life and every incident that came along with it had built her up a nice, cosy layered wall tha...

Welcome to this stupid post

  It has been a year and a half since I last wrote anything, well, significant. (Coincidentally, also the exact age of my dog.) So I figured it was time to get out all the stupid. Here goes nothing. He’s twenty eight, almost twenty nine. January has always been a difficult month, it’s been the month of departures in his life. Most people are excited about the hope January brings with it, he’s terrifyingly cautious of the signs it brings - of people leaving, of things changing, and basically everything going to shit. His fears are not unfounded, he’s not a vague person like that. He’s seen things happen, he’s felt things hurt and he’s experienced darkness in its complete, mystifying totality. People think he's naïve, his problems self-made but tell that to the spiraling tornado in his head that won't quit screaming. Fast forward to two years later, it's his thirtieth birthday eve. He grew up celebrating and anticipating this month, now he plans to sleep well before midnight....

||Friends? Sure..

I woke up this morning thinking about writing this post because I couldn’t fathom how one year we were going crazy with friendship bands, everything was simpler, love was friendship, movies were influential and then I wake up today and it’s a pretty normal day. Also I wanted to try out my cute new keyboard which otherwise seems like money not so pragmatically spent. I wanted to reminisce a little bit about all the different kinds of friends I’ve had over the years. The one you rang first on the landline every time you got the tiniest bit of gossip. The one you went running around the school playground with, jumping off corridors as your fancy birthday dress flew up in frilly cuteness. The one you spent hours with coming up with numbers to cryptic-name your multiple crushes/persons of interest. The same one you found sitting on the first bench after assembly, new to school but so old and wise beyond her age (still). The ones you keep thinking you’ve said goodbye to but they keep coming ...
