Building a Castle is Slow and at times, Hidden.

 I want my Castle to be Strong and High,

On the moonless , puffy textured sky.

Let this, in solitude, be expressive to shine 

And make the moment Worthy and divine.


Like everyone,  I had this quest of having a unique identity to be recognized with. I  wanted a Castel to be the ruler of.  How to do make that happen? All I knew was I won't be "Gifted" with it ,nor it was going to be as easy as walking down a already laid Red-carpet pathway to take you to Get-what-you -want.

I walked into the jungle. Yep, that was hard with the sky Grey and uninviting into the night of hardships. It's not the corporate ladder but yeah A jungle ( I did read this concept in a book) . The building of a Castel would start with a single brick yet, with a Strong Foundation. It won't be noticed by anyone initially, I knew , as it was hidden under the trees of the jungle.

 The leaves spread  on the top of the tress and the surrounding will protect it at its initial stage. No busy human will see and judge it before its done with  finishing up. I kept on working and took this dream higher and higher. It took patience and constant work on it. It would make much of your time spent to yourself instead of the worldly life.  

Made to be higher than trees and stronger , it now stands upright and is visible despite the trees . They notice and appreciate and at times, praise the fortune I had .  

I concluded 

Don't stop working on your dream castle only its hidden and not yet appreciated.. 

Thank you 

ANU.


(Its just a thought, I don't go around walking in jungles. )

The Abundant Room Upstairs, No One is Allowed to enter! #1

There is an old brown dusty chair that sits in the abandoned room upstairs. I didn’t figure out who does it belongs to yet we, the family who resides here on rental basis, are forbidden for using it. Mamma says that we must not enter the room, at any cost. Yet, I trespassed this boundary yesterday, when my dearest cat went upstairs, like she usually does. I didn’t ponder upon this fact as Cookie has her favorite place to sleep upstairs. But upon her no appearing back even after opening up of its favorite food (cats are very strong at detecting smell), a doubt arose. I waited for a few more minutes and when my expectations failed too, I decided to go upstairs and check. The forbidden room was at left, so I went forward and checked the room on the right side. “Cookie” I called out. No response. I called out again, twice, yet the result was just as the first time, that is no response again. I had the bowl of cat food in my hand, whose presence would have been hard to go unnoticed, given...

Fading in, Fading Out

  I fade in and out of my thoughts. I oscillate between the thoughts snatching my attention and later, liberating me to drift back to the soothing sleep which says that nothing else matters. My thought leaves my side when my sleep drifts me away with it and I come back to my never-ceasing-to-think brain with another dream. Everyone else in the home is asleep in their own imaginatory world that belongs just, just to them. As I open my eyes, nothing is visible to me. Darkness engulfs everything. No even ones shadow is spared from it. I open the window a bit more, to let in the moonlight shining and dancing outside. It enlightens the room a bit but not all the nook and corners of it. Stepping out from the bed, I turned on a little torch and searched for mirrors (I couldn’t turn on the lights as I don’t want to break the spell casted in the moment by the night).Now, by placing the mirrors the way I want them to be , I could direct the moonlight to the place I want it to glimmer arounds...

I have the same sequence of thoughts. I think about work, what is it taking out of me and where will it take me, and during the process, I'll either end up scrolling or sleeping, expressing my mental physical tiredness. I don't know how my friends are managing this internship and taking out consistent time to study and prepare for the competitive exams and with their instagram stories revealing that they are not missing out on fun! And, about the internship- I try to finish the tasks I have been given; I try to do a little more, learn a little more, try something beyond the regular stuff till the time I am tired. I try imagining where exactly, out of the places I have been posted, would I like to be working. but till now, I have not been able to reach to a conclusion. Give me a few free hours and I will either sleep or read novels. Recently the latest books I have read are- The Bastard of Istanbul , The –Perfect– Marriage and right now, its Girls Burn Brighter - all these nove...
