I can wait...

Why is it that nothing particularly changes in the way sun rises or sets, and the moon is just as usual, always a feast in all of its shapes, and my grateful being, gets awestruck every single time. There is nothing new about the day we wake up to and yet we see the day as a new one even if it doesn't changes a leaf in our life. The night is just as black or grey as it should, acting as a complementing background for the moon and stars, and yet it traces us back to all the dreams and passions we religiously keep inside, like a night......that just doesn't turn into a day.
  The reason why nature in all of her form and existence appears new even if it remains the same is because she exists for a purpose, not for an opinion. The simplicity with which she remains authentic, holds the foundation of the way she has evolved with time. Her worth doesn't rest on validation, because she is at rest and in peace with who she is. Having a purpose in life isn't determined at birth and so is the way one should lead it. It's amazing how insecure, people are these days that instead of unfolding different layers of their personalities, they endup composing layers to fit into shoes they know they'll never be able to dance in. Why do we need to be hideous about the compositions of our soul from the world? Why are we so skeptical about what someone might think when they see us, hear us and know us for who we are as a body and mind?  What is this habit of belittling your story of life when you had so much praise for the originality of that movie you watched?.....and why is the notion of 'being yourself' has only been famously outspoken and not familiarily cultured in us from the start....I know why....
Because it's easy and quick. It's easy to light an incense stick to a photographed idol than to sit and pray to the God that resides in us, it's convenient to ask for the wellness of the family than to support each other equally well as a community, it's easy to speak of love and togetherness than to mean it when one is together, it's easy to tell a girl to cover-up than to inculcate gentlemen morals into a son, it's quick to judge others for their choices than to think about their courage to own themselves inspite of your judgement, it's taxing to have certain self-defining principles in life and hence we let ourselves be defined by the herd we live in. On the other hand it's difficult and uncomfortable to be yourself at every moment of encounter with people, that includes family too. Being yourself is a war, not against you but for you, to take charge of your life and live with purpose regardless of opinions that come by. And I can't wait to fight it out with the goals and principles I have for myself. I may not be a confident being but I am filled with an unlimited faith about reaching there. It's a journey to find what sets your soul on fire and then set it on fire for the world to feel the warmth you carried inside. But this journey needs time and your patience to withstand judgement or relations that might not accept your courage. But you can wait. I can wait.
                            I can wait for those times when your shyness adds to your confession of love, I can wait for you to realize that you aren't crazy to dream of the moon and that you just have to be crazy enough to have it. I can wait for your relatives to be more relatable in their role as a family and not be mere attendees of weddings and funerals, I can wait for your family to know that it's not just blood that makes you all a family. I sure can wait for people to appreciate efforts than word of mouth, i am also waiting for the immense stock of gratitude that's due on ourselves. I can wait for you to fall in love madly and so can I wait for you to get strength from the love that broke you. I can wait for you to find pleasure in drinking a glass of water...while you feel it going down your throat. I can wait for me to realize that my identity as a woman defines my identity as a daughter/sister/whatever thereafter and not otherwise. I can wait till I watch myself over and work myself up for the vision I'll never compromise on. I am not afraid of the delay but I am a little anxious of whether any of my believes is worth the wait. But still I can wait. I can wait for things to change at it's pace, because I believe in evolving with time so that everyday remains as a fresh new life and every existence,a step forward towards humanity and invention.
And yes atlast I can wait for you to read it all if you may, because I can wait for you to respond truly.
So yeah I can wait.....
I am waiting...........
Just don't keep me waiting😂😄!!

    Nikkkkkkiiiii! Bloom bloom, you boon.
    I hear you, loud and clear, booming. To not swallow our words until we choke, is to take our agency back, be responsible towards our freedom and individuality, to safeguard the integrity of our very essence, to not be false. All extremely tough and tall promises but how worthwhile

He is the One

He is the One. You seem like the scent of a long-gone childhood You seem like a song hidden in a diary It was the elevator where our eyes sparked a smile, The smile that blows off a candle from its heat The smile that plants a love grenade.   I adore your face Like a sunflower keeping up with the sun, I have met you in ways Like a mirage that never meets the horizon.   Your wind keeps the winter warm. When you become the sun that struggles to peep, Your wind draws my hair on the face While I hear the jingling wind chime to sleep.   I adore the geometry of the diameter of your nostrils, I adore your pearly eyes that keep me awake even when I dream about them in dreams, I dream of your eyes, I dream of them falling for the mole on my cheek, For my unkempt paint-less soft feet, For my shy dark eyebrows, For my fingers, when they run through your mind, For the way I make you laugh out of nowhere, For the way, I held myself str...

Love isn't in the air

 The laundry-washed clothes have a unique smell of freshness, the freshness of it being clean, the goodness of it being good to go again! The day seems newer with a fresh ironed cloth on the body, the body seems fresh with a new soaked approach for the day. The birds talk to me, the purple flowers stare at me, I blush when they do that and I think, how am I not over them already! I never get over them. Every single time they make me feel purple, even if it's just for a moment. It's the same with humans too, I suppose. People who make you feel purple are purple themselves, they have their own color, they have their own sun trapped glow. There is no one way of describing an early morning sunrise and so there's no one way to describe that purple feeling. Sometimes when you can't measure something in quantity, you aren't able to say how much gravity it holds in words, so you reply with a silent adoration for the ocean before you. I see the ocean in his eyes and when the...

"That confused girl"

 There are many things to say to you, but she chooses to zip her words into a sigh as if telling the obvious would make it irrelevant. I don't think we learn to speak during childhood, I think we keep learning it till we become quiet. Silence is composed of a thousand words whereas sometimes all it is that a thousand words say is "nothing". I know the power of words and so I am not quiet when it comes to speaking the unsaid obvious. There is a girl at my window staring at the passing clouds thinking to herself where does she stand in her life; is she a passing cloud too, would she ever know stillness? There are two kinds of people in the world; one who knows the word, the other who knows the meaning. There is one more kind who fall at the intersection of the two; the hybrid one, who knows the meaning of the word and the "when and where science" of using it. At every stage of knowledge of the word and of the meaning and of the usage, the bar of responsibility goe...

I Know It..

For some reason of unknown priority is the state of mind, which is in constant denial of thoughts that does not allow it to rest, like literally. Something in the head aches unlike the familiar headaches as if a machine has been running without a stop and is drained of fuel and energy only to realize no work has come out of it. Its abnormal how loud and fast my heart beats as if i have magically raised a second one in all these years in my right side too.There are people around me, so its hard for my eyes to even think of melting glaciers because i do not have an explanation for the warming that led to it.A cocktail of emotional trash flushes through the veins of my head and hurts the walls of the vessels in which my life filled blood somehow manages to reach out for me.I am dumbstruck with these changes as it is a renewed version of the previously experienced one, but this time with more intensity and nothingness. I tried emptying myself off of all but sooner realize that its not un...

Let's fear!

The best thing that happens in my day is when i find myself and my other selves alive, because the good in the morning is that we are, there in the morning. Of all the fears that we carefully amass, it's the fear of not being alive the next moment, that's taken very much for granted. Death is feared by everyone even-though it's a shared fate, and life being the brief stay, is assumed unlimited. I really fear not being alive, being extinct but not necessarily death.I don't think humanity is ever going to crack the formula for how to live a life, and i also think we don't need a full blown answer, we just need few hints, since the answer is- to each their own. One of the hint for that question is undeniably, fear, a definite one i believe.                                    There are a lot of things we are afraid of, or get scared by but fear is the only one,worth your attention.A child is ironi...

My 'M' size life

Do you know what the most committed thing in your life is? It's not your parents, friends, or lovers. It will always be your belly fat. The center of your mass, the middle section of your body, and the putative locus of your subconscious. Why am I subconsciously always aware of its mass, and why does it matter so much that most of my neural energy is spent on concealing its existence? My belly fat grew up with me. When I was small, it was small. Now that I am big, it's big too. It's big enough to hold my beer of thoughts about my middle-of-somewhere existence. My window always shows me life in real-time. It is the beginning of spring here, and every morning when I wake up and look outside, I see the branches more peachy in color with flowers I knew I had seen earlier but forgot. I forgot when they vanished. I only noticed when the roads were colored again with them. These flowers remind me of my forgotten dreams. Dreams that have come back to me, slowly, again. The idea of ...
