Just another bend

Yet another year comes to an end. Too many good things that are coming to my mind along with the bad that happened in this year. But then who would choose to cry when they can smile. This year is unforgettable for me in many ways. This year somehow seems to be the perfect coming of age for me. I know you would laugh at this as I am already three decades old but somehow I suddenly feel all grown up at this moment, of having learnt few very important lessons in life and of having known what my heart says. 

I remember reading somewhere knowing what your heart is better than not listening to it ever because you carry the risk of it not saying anything someday.  I started the ritual of writing such posts atleast two times a year, sometimes going up to three depending on when  needed a good dose motivation. Surprisingly I haven't written any this year and no! Make no mistake it wasn't that I didn't need any motivation, rather I would say I was too busy running in the race to pause and think about them.

But today is the last day of the year and how can I not look back at the past one last time, gather all the positivity before I move ahead into the unknown with wide open arms. So here it is, to new beginnings!

I LOVE

I BELIEVE

  • People come and go from your lives for a reason. All we can hold onto are the memories they leave behind.
  • Loving yourself is the beginning of a lifelong journey without any heartbreaks.


 I WISH


  • Somethings hadn't ended the way they did in this year.
  • I had written & read more than what I have done.

I SMILE


  • Looking at the memories I created in this year.
  • Thinking about all the places I am going to visit in 2016.

I WORRY

  • For a lot of things beyond my control.

I HOPE

  • My heart never stops dreaming or wishing.
  • The small joys of life never stop brightening up my heart

I NEED

  • To keep hoping & believing
  • To work hard and chase my dreams.


I THANK GOD 

  • For my new job.
  • For a few people in my life who are there without any reasons!

Essay: How to mourn the loss of love?

By

Image Source: Unsplash.com I remember the first time I mourned the loss of love was when I was eleven.  For me, dance was love at that time. I had discovered a strange joy as I glided in and out of those movements. Every time I swirled; I could feel my heart soar. Any beat that strained to reach my ears, tempted me to move my body to its tune. I just knew I was born to dance and that is the only thing I wanted to do, all my life.  I had my reasons to believe so and a very simple one at that. It made me happy. That was a reason enough. However, my father thought otherwise. Girls from good families, do not dance. That line was enough to break all those rosy dreams of dancing on a stage. The day my brother was sent to the same dance class which was not good for me, was the day I experienced heartbreak for the first time.  That is the day I mourned the loss of my first love- Dance.

Diary of a Lost Wanderer - Lost & Found

Dear Diary, I fell in love with Mumbai when I first visited it in 1995. Bombay, as it was then known, fascinated me since then.  If you ask me what made me fall in love with this city, I perhaps cannot explain. It wasn't that I was seeing the sea for the first time. It wasn't even the biggest city I had been to till then. Still, there was something so magical about this place. The trip was a short one lasting less than a week but this city now had my heart. Years later, I arrived here all alone on my first solo trip in 2005 and fell in love all over again. I got my first job and was required to come to Mumbai frequently. The local trains, the chaos on the roads, the crowds, the humdrum, the salty smell in the air, the stale air- everything about this city was intoxicating for me.

Metro Diaries: The Art of Making Love

Image Source: Unpexels (Cottonbro) “Do you know why is it called making love?” He whispered, pulling the comforter closer.  I don’t remember for how long we had been in that room, on that bed. Lying aimlessly, just feeling each other in silence. I managed to just whimper to denote my curiosity.   “Because that is the moment we create love. We are the closest we could ever be to love, in its purest form. It is sheer magic as we are naked, in every form. Mentally, physically and emotionally before that one person, we love. We know they can hurt us, as much as they want to, in the way they want to. But love gives us that power to trust them, that they won’t.”   “And here I was thinking it is a need. Something you want at that moment and you get it!”
