||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! ;)

'Introvert!' 'She's not much of a people person.' 'He's weird.' 'Annoying.' 'Perfect!' How dare you? How dare you limit an entire person, his whole life, her complete individuality to a single word? How do you describe a person you have barely, superficially known for only a chunk of his lifetime in a few, simple words? Is this why we have eulogies? To make up for all the limiting things we say about people when they're alive. Is it a way to apologise for trying to put down a number on the distance between their being and the horizon? Are we trying to make up for the infinite possibility in them that we carelessly ignore? 'How would you describe your personality?' 'I'm lazy. I prefer pulling up my blanket to turning off the fan 'cause the switch isn't an arm's length away. I put down books when I don't love them anymore because they remind me of how my preferences change....

||Fall, Comfort Shows and Escapism..

As I find myself three seasons into my favourite show again, I involuntarily see the patterns and lack thereof every time I’m inclined to watch it.  Gilmore Girls. If you seek me out on a random day and ask me my favorite show, you may never get the same answer twice. I don’t like being held down to favorites and my mood swings like a chandelier most days. But if you ask me which show I gravitate towards most, this is the one I’ll quote. If you see me talking in weird phrases and references that don’t make sense, this show is the culprit. Having watched it over 7 times in just 3 years, it amazes me how I’ve watched F.R.I.E.N.D.S. way less times even though it might be the show I look to for comfort. If you ask me what I watch when I’m sad, I’d probably say This is Us. Somewhere between the spectrum where one end is F.R.I.E.N.D.S. and the other This is Us, smushed between How I Met Your Mother, Suits, The Office, New Girl, and a number of other shows I like to rewatch, is Gilmore Gi...

||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 ...
