Hi

I know it has been a long time. Though this time, I am not sorry for the long gap and I am not going to start with an apology.

Most of them who follow me on Instagram and read my book or blog might have a slight idea of what the past few months have been.


Not going to sugarcoat or anything, the past few months were like a derailed roller coaster ride and the ride is still going on. To put it in better words, it is like you get the toughest set in the CBSE Board exam and everyone else gets the easier one. Or maybe another example could be that you are hanging from the top part of an hourglass and the sand is draining down. Maybe nothing makes sense but it would be better that way rather than going through it and being able to understand...

I know all this sounds very philosophical and one might even wonder if I have completely lost it. To be honest, even I don’t know. All I know is that I can really understand and empathize with philosophy right now. Recently I read ‘Those who walk away from Omelas’ and ‘They saw Tomorrow’, and how I felt every line of it. I am more open to ideas and theories than ever before. My brain has been working at full capacity spewing mostly nonsense.



The other day, I was exploring the theory of parallel universes and what if one could travel in time. I wondered and thought hard about what changes or decisions I would make. The realization I had was shocking to me. I didn’t want to make any changes. All I wanted to do was relish every meal, enjoy every trip, cherish all good moments as though they were the last ones. I don’t have any regrets only wishes. A wish that I should have acknowledged how happy I was, how good things were, and how damn lucky we were. If I got the chance to time travel, I would choose to relive every moment, happiness or pain, and feel every bit of it to the core.



We must be fools that we take most of our lives for granted. Remember how we used to wish for our stuffy nose to go away and how we took breathing for granted. Remember how we hated afternoon naps and took sleep for granted. Remember how we thought people laughing out loud were a nuisance and took laughter for granted. How about we stop remembering and start living?


Times are tough. Let’s all hang in there. Remember, nothing lasts forever.
