||Ah..home!



Haven't written in a while.. realised this when my thoughts got overcrowded, too difficult to interpret. Sooooo, what's new, eh? I'm at home, the weather is so awesome I could die of happiness. I have all my favourite things around.. and I have all the time in the world to eat and sleep and waste! I sleep half of the day, and spend the other half watching movies and TV series. In short, life is blissful.

Then again, life is what you make it. I know, its just a matter of days. I'm gonna get bored of the movies, eventually return to offline mode on facebook chat, and start yearning for Bbsr again. Its the same case there too. The other place somehow always feels more tempting, more...me! Its kind of like an identity crisis. On one side there's..familiarity..familiar places, familiar people. The other side has adventure, novelty, a chance to build a new me, which unfortunately, I haven't had much success with.

Its kind of impossible to pick one. Raipur has made me what I am, its a beautiful place with even more beautiful people, inside out. The people here are trustworthy to say the least. Bhubaneswar appeals to me more because of itself than because of the people in it. The solidarity, the liberty associated with that city is an amazing experience. Looking out for yourself, learning something every time you fall down is something that the security of Raipur cannot provide.

Um.. this is kind of why I can never answer which one my favorite place is. :/

  1. Your home is where you make it. Its not the place, the people or the weather. Its your heart that makes a home where ever you go! :)

||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...

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....

||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...
