rains, weather and all the thoughts otherwise.

It rained last night.


 After bearing so much heat that all my watery sunscreen will flow with the sweat before I even step out of the home, it was a relief and more than that, it felt like a new need . I have to get to a place where the weather is as soothing and cool  as it was yesterday and so was today morning. 
It has always been a funny thought about the place where I live. All I need here are  full sleeved clothes which protects me from the stinging sun rays and on the other spectrum in the winters, a full sleeved t-shirt is enough most of the time to  keep me protected from the cold as well. Its just these weather-changing time to get my half sleeved or sleeve-less tops out, and my midi/maxi free flowing dresses functional.

Otherwise, most of the days in summers are spent indoors, while at home or at work, most probably in closed air conditioned rooms with compromised mobility. The only function this serves is that, it keeps you at a fixed place, to complete all your work. Nothing else could have been done otherwise. 

Good weather keeps me going, working with minimizing the cooler's or heater's additions in the electricity bill. Just keep the windows and doors open and it feels like heaven, so connected to the LIFE  outside the virtually real screen where I spend most of our day. 

There is also another thing rains do to us. It feels beautiful in rains. The peace of mind and a reasonable reason for being disconnected from the devices ( here, you'll either find the lights-went-off or the signals-not-being-caught) works wonders. These are the times when I end up thinking about the things that actually matter in life. Evening rains makes me romanticize my life. The sky shadows the colors we rarely witness in my life. 

I love winters too, but to be honest, those are the times of the year where I am having my academic year's final exams and that keeps  me from hanging out or explore. There's a lot of festivities and events and fairs that we have in our city in the winters ( as summers are unbearable to be happy on the roads) and for me, that's the only relaxation I can afford during my final examinations preparations.

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...
