End of a decade - 2019

Image
2019   gave me more strength,   inner power and mindfulness.. 2019 taught me to be patience, stay calm in times I didn’t enjoy. 2019 is the year I rediscovered myself after a long time through travel.. Overall it was like any other year with ups and down but “Me being Me” all I see is the positives that came out of the year. 2019 is a start for "mindful" eating and staying healthier . I have gone sugar free most of the time which made me realise I don’t enjoy those sweet treats that I used to binge-on.   Lot of people warned me that I'm going to be grumpy and cranky. To my surprise , I’m much calmer and lot of things doesn't bother me anymore than it used to be.. Hot Choc is my occasional indulgence and my secret affair..  Also focusing more on my PT, I'm not doing it to be on shape or reduce weight rapidly. Just doing it ,so I can walk that great wall of china and do that Machu Picchu trek in near future..   Just building up strength and muscles. Looks ...

Auto-pilot mode on!!

Wait!  is it already Mid-Dec ?? !!  its so Christmasy everywhere!!  I still remember the last few minutes of 2018,   I was flipping between Prime and Netflix to choose a right film to start 2019 positively. 12 months has rolled on, still flipping between them and the new addition of Disney+ to binge watch.  I reckon all this technology/entertainment is  mesmerising my life and taking me high on the weed trip.I feel with all this options, I’m slowly losing my mind with more absent mindedness. Good thing that came out of all this is I hardly get anxiety these days because I keep forgetting everything. I have given up on my calendar notification as it keeps buzzing every half hour to remind me of something.. Too much is too much. I'm sitting in my couch trying to recap past 12 months as if I was in some kind of Coma. Trip to London seems like a nice dream but I have picture proof that I have used the toilets in Buckingham palace (its not what ...

Image
Two of my work got selected in a poetry competition run by Greater Dandenong Council, Victoria. Both  Here and There  and Nostalgia got   published in a poetry book titled "HOME".   "Home" is a collection of work by talented individuals from different background. My piece here talks about nostalgic memories that  I call home.                                                       ----------------------------------------------------- My heart is still in that hot summer when I was 6, I played with my cousins climbing trees, Innocence, laughs and sour mangoes kept me going.. My heart is still in that hot summer when I was 10, I tricked my friends to see who could hold the breath longest, the cool dip, hot sun and water games kept me going.. My heart is still in that hot summer when I was 14, I play...

Here and there

Image
This work of mine got selected in a poetry competition run by Greater Dandenong Council, Victoria and got  published in a poetry book titled "HOME".   "Home" is collection of work by talented individuals from different background. My piece here talks about every immigrant story..                                            ----------------------------------------- “Don’t stay there forever, come back home. We will be waiting for you.” my friend said to me when I embarked a new journey to this country. “I will go back home after I earn enough, I won't stay here forever! I told my colleague. “ Son! Now that you are aboard, we can’t just have a simple wedding for your sisters. People are expecting more . It’s not like we can’t afford it now! ” my mom tells me in our video chat. I save up and transfer money back home. “ You should buy a house. Rentals...

(In)Visible truth

Image
If I was invisible, I would fly from Atlantic to Arctic.. From Americas to Africas.. Everywhere, If I was invisible, I would rob bank(s) and become the richest in the world, If I was invisible, I would play pranks on people just to pass my day, If I was invisible, I would rock the dance floor without a drink, If I was invisible, I would do sing-a-long with Ed Sheeran and Camila Cabello, If I was invisible, I would go to the top of Everest and make a snowman, If I was invisible, I would fly up to space and experience other planets, If I was invisible, I would ride an Amazon Jaguar and roam around the forest, If I was invisible, I would meditate with monks watching the stillness of the lake, If I was invisible, I would live in a place where I don't have to deal with SILLY people. Yet I would stay visible just for you. If I was invisible, you wouldn't know I exists, If I was invisible, we couldn't have lived a life we lived, If I was invisible,  I wouldn...

Life has changed..For good..

Image
I used to be a vampire, Staying up all late and going to classes next day without a fuss. I never understood why people cry at the cinemas for a scene, Duh! It’s just a movie. Never had time to notice simple things, Life was an adrenaline ride. Taking risk without thinking about consequence was the “norm.” I had an “agenda” for my career. If you wonder, how can it all change after a tiny creature entered into your life. Forget about seeing an emotional scene from a movie, even hearing a normal conversation from a random stranger can make me cry now. Forget about staying awake till midnight, just 5 minutes past 9 is all I can do now. Realized little things have a power to brighten your day, Cuddle and a kiss can take away all stress.. Forget about that career agenda, any job that gives me “Me time” will do. Forget about adrenaline, sending a snack with "traces of nuts" is my biggest risk right now. Priorities have changed, Thought pr...

The Bucket list

Image
Google Images Darling, I get that you are an explorer from your insta, I started to make my bucket list. I heard you are a foodie who hates cooking I enrolled myself in baking. I love sitting in the passenger seat and how perfect is that When you mentioned you enjoy driving. I’m more a listener than a talker and it works well because you are one talker. I understand the science behind opposites attract better now than my school days. Do you want to know what’s in my bucket list, A long drive, Listening you talk all night and Waking you up with a smell of homemade pancakes and maple syrup. Shall we do this like Russian-Doll in Netflix? E-V-E-R-Y-D-A-Y until we die.. PS: RUSSIAN DOLL is a Netflix series which is more like ground hog day. In simple words it is just an .endless time loop..
