Hey stalkers! It's 5:43 PM and I'm listening to some bhajans on youtube. Someone came to see our house, since we have to sublease it from January. But, this is not how a typical day in my life looks like. I'll write about it (my day in Portland) in second person. You get up at 5:45-ish in the morning, turn off the alarm which was about to ring at 6am. And then instinctively you call at home. Talk to Mummy and Dadi for half an hour. Boom ! It's 6:30. Now, you rush to the kitchen, to prepare breakfast. Mostly it's cereals and milk. Sometimes it's omelette, and rarely some leftovers from the last night which, you ordered via Uber eats. Then you wash your face, get ready for the office and catch the 7:20 bus to Portland downtown. From downtown, you catch another bus to Unum I/B or Jetport. There you go. You're at office around 8:20-8:30 in the morning. Now, you start checking your emails, teams messages and set yourself for the meetings which are generally aroun...
Dear Boston, So, the time has come. To bid you a farewell for the time being. We met some 4 years ago on a sunny day. I remember it was very hot. Too hot for a 22 degree Celsius day in early September. I was jetlagged after a 16 hour flight. And you were mesmerizing, as always. You've hosted millions of people like me. The Irish who touched your shores and caressed them centuries ago. You've hosted Thoreau, Swami Vivekanand, Ben Affleck, the cab driver from middle east, students of merit in MIT, Harvard, Tufts, Berklee from asias and the australias and africas and europe, also the homeless folks. I feel jealous of you treating everyone as special, but also makes me proud that I got to roam on the same streets in which the people who made a dent in this world did. You completely blew my mind. Your beauty, elegance, arrogance, and a bipolar weather. You've been my muse, and I was yours. You developed in me the habit of long walks in silence. Almost every week I get lost star...
World is celebrating 'valentines week'. The week of love. Its gooood! People have something to distract themselves from this cruel world and spend some time with 'beloved'. This made me think about 'love' and here's what i came up with. Love is something that has been largely misinterpreted by people out there. It is only being restricted to physical attraction and infatuation. The 'couple goals' are the people who seem beautiful to us on instagram, or those who show their love publicly, or if a boy decorates a table in a cafe etc.. Well, what i think is: it is waaaayyy beyond this. It is when you just feel a deeper level of connection with someone. Even if you go days without any form of talking or connection, you are assured that no matter what, nothing can set you apart from him/her. It is not the butterflies in stomach, but a sense of calmness when you're with them. It is beyond materialism. It is level of understanding, compatibility,...
