the peace of the night.

It is so calm viewing the night sky from the terrace of my home. I can only see the half-moon with no other bright light in the black sky. There are no clouds to give the grey shade to the sky. Of course, the other lights that glow comes from homes underneath the sky.  No noise comes from those homes and the flats of the apartments. they reflect just the light glow. For the amount of time I was there, I couldn't even see a person around. For most of the people, it's that time of the day when they come back from their work, have dinner with the family and have little fun, relaxing their minds from the mess they faced today and prepare themselves for a similar day, the next day. The working class of people might have finally got the time to spend good time with their kids, the older ones spend this time sitting in an open area, reflecting upon the lives they have lived so far. The little ones might have finally got time to finish their homework and prepare for the tests and assignments ahead. For lovers, isn't this the only time to share their life with each other? 

Even thinking everything combined makes me feel so peaceful.

Well, that was on what it looked outside and maybe, just at night, on nights when I take my earphones off from the lecture or my eyes off the screens, or on the other nights when I am not tired enough to get out of the bed to just for the sake of being out, on the nights when I happen to take some time out from the rush of the life.

I wish things were as easy as reading a good novel, sitting on the couch by the window and a coffee. It feels awesome to be in the novel and at intervals, keep getting the views from outside the window.

 Pure Escapism!

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...
