Permanence comes from being resolute Which means having resolve and being determined to stand by your resolution But what good is permanence in a transient world? Where the resolutions are transient themselves Change annually, predictably too, on the eve of a New Year We seem to love a new slate so much The promise of starting anew "from this Monday", "from the 1st of next month", "from the first day after my birthday" Aye but I didn't come here to write about something substantial so... Imagine walking into a hospital with 4 stones and coming out with just three. How do you have the gall to do such a thing?! Such clever musings are the consequence of watching a man stare at a bunch of stones by a bus stop that's just outside a hospital. That joke just wrote itself! The whole point of taking the bus is to be out of the bus. No other vehicle allows for such wide angled views. Even if the view isn't much to write home about, it's ju...

This was originally going to be a playlist idea of all the songs that really hit me right in the feels but I started writing them down and now I'm too lazy to make it an actual playlist. And it was originally going to be 10 songs but of course it's 30 now. It's too late for me to bother linking these but I'll probably make a playlist someday. I also thought it would be a nice idea to elaborate why each song gets me every time but then it's too much effort to articulate how each song makes me feel and I think by doing that, it may dilute how pure it is currently. Music is so much more than we give it credit for. Without further ado, here is the list of my top 30 ultimate favourites that make me feel the most feelings that I could think of in the past 30 minutes. "Miss You" by Foster the People "The Beach" by The Neighbourhood "Instant Crush" by Daft Punk "Passionfruit" by Drake "There is a Light that Never goes out...

Aniket's funny Kate, the gujju kitten I'm not a cat person, but with growing older and all that comes with moving away from people to moving closer to animals, one thing you come to realise is that cats are just hopelessly hungry dogs who happen to love cleaning themselves more Sheldon, the don of shells Little shells donned in a necklace is so beachy and the don of shells wears multiple such endo(r)nments that don('t) really make him look very formidable as a don should seem but the ocean and its creatures fear him just the same A house doesn't feel like a home until... You walk into the toilet for a tinkle and end up reading 64 pages of the Tinkle double digest and it's 45 minutes later Lots of happenings continue to happen long after they've happened If everyone did what they wanted to do all at the same time I think everyone would feel like OMG I think everyone is doing what they want to do and so am I but why am I feeling so good as I shouldn't r...

He likes Spiderman but he's terrified of spiders He buys the twenty rupee pack of peanuts On the bus to the valleys beyond the city The peanut shells are mothers to the peanuts The dichotomous peanuts are sheltered from the harsh world in their brown housings Here the boy sits and peels off the shells Discarding them all in a sheer plastic bag All dead mothers lying together He shrugs away the dark thought and tries to focus his mind on the electroacoustic music wafting slowly though this earphones A portrait of his favourite colours is the desktop wallpaper of his choosing He's always had an affinity for abstract anonymous art pieces His mind can't focus and so can't his attention It's something he's had to forgive himself for feeling Others around him assume that it's okay That him having an unstable mind is somehow an acceptable part of who he is But he doesn't care about the others as much as he cares about himself Nobody has ever att...

If you could only see what you gave up on in time to work hard to keep it You wouldn't have lost it forever Because once you give up and move on, you're likely not going to look back Nothing is irredeemable unless it was never good It is very redeemable if the good stuff came from from a sincere, pious place You didn't deserve her Because her love for you for pure It never held back, it never asked for much Besides respect, besides acknowledgement, besides attention I like to think sometimes that you regret it You regret losing such a beautiful love I like to dream that your new life feels uncomfortable Like it's not supposed to be real, like the first reality you forged was completely irreplaceable But I know that's just fanciful thinking It's a childish wish I like to think that maybe her love is thinning with the years flying by But a heart once broken never truly heals Especially since that heart never knew another You will never realise wh...

This is unlikely of me to do, but I thought of putting together all my favourite skincare products of all time. While I'm not big on makeup, I love me some indulgent bath and body products. That said, I can't say no to a nice eyeliner and I love a good lip balm. Growing up, my father would take a lot of international business trips and he got into the habit of bringing me nice bath products every time. I got so used to it, that every time he'd come home, regardless of how post bedtime it was, I'd rush to open his bag and find the goodies myself. He still remembers my love for that kind of stuff and the last time I saw him, he got me two giant bottles of Pantene and Sunsilk shampoo. Not exactly what I was looking for, but it's the thought that counts! This is the stuff that I'm truly shaukeen about and the kind of stuff I imagine I'll always want to splurge on. I'm not one for material things, but this stuff is right up my alley! After all, pampering y...
