Letter to my younger self

 Dear Young Me,

I know that teenage angst can get to you and make you wonder too much, but I promise this is part of the process. It is a phase and it will pass. You are just growing up. It is absolutely worth it at the end <3

Concentrate on the subjects at school that you like the most and the rest will fall in place.Do not let peer pressure get to you. Remember, an A+ cannot get you through everything in life.

Respect and love your parents. They matter and moreover never let go off your close friends.

I want you to enjoy these days to the fullest. This short period of teenage life will fly in a jiff. Go on dates, read good books, watch amazing movies(Enjoy the disney ones too. No! you arent too old for them), fall in love,journal your feelings, dance it out, go crazy and do what your heart desires. Play a sport you enjoy the most.Try your hand at an instrument or an art form. Find a hobby which will always bring on a smile no matter where you are and what you are doing in life. Most importantly, Eat whatever the hell you feel like :)

Love,

Your elder self.

What would you tell your younger self, dear reader? Let us hear it all! :)

City Lights

Golden hour is when I start
Dusk is when I begin to fade.

With a dance of to and fro
I make y'all look pretty,

And that's the most favorite part of my job.

Twinkling like a thousand stars from above

I can sense a million dreams,

Along with an abundance of hope,

Lost in a playground of imagination.

I bring you a new promise,

A moment of bliss,

And a feast for your eyes

Like a kaleidoscope

Changing colors.

I want to remind you 

Of the endless possibilities,

And that, there is beauty even in darkness.

I want to be that friend, 

You look upto when you feel lost,

Who will always be there to greet you,

And to provide a blanket of security and comfort

When you least expect one. 

Favorite time of the day

 

I would like the mornings to be my favorite time of the day,where I can actually be calm before heading into a stormy day. I would very much like to get some yoga and reading done before breakfast hour and later indulge in a slow meal time. Having said that, its that time of the day which has a love-hate relationship going on with me. Most days, I hate to wake up early and on other days, the morning rush keeps me going.

However,evenings are my absolute favorite. I feel it is the most blessed time of the day. It makes me feel like I can take on the entire world (No wonder, most of my blog posts are written in the evening hours :)) Sometimes just walking out the door for a little bit or going on a mini stoll bestows immense inspiration. It brings a sense of belonging that no other time of the day tend to. Also, I get to rejoice my accomplishments of the day- be it : work documents getting done, skimming through few pages of my present read or getting one or two episodes from my current show out of the way.

As the sun goes down, I feel sorted and  am ready to put some checkmarks on to my to-do list. It brings me joy to a point that, even if it comes down to a sunday evening, going into work the next morning starts to make sense :)

Diary of a Mini-Wave

 Aloha!

 

My name is mini.

 

I travel to the shore many times a day.

Sometimes, I bring back the sand and sometimes a lot of twigs.

A lot of times I bring back plastic. My friends at sea don't seem to like that. I feel happy thinking you all left these toys for us to play with. They say it's likely to cause harm. I don’t seem to understand this. Mr. Squirtle, our turtle friend got a straw stuck in his nose the other day and things got a bit heated up. It was hilarious to watch him until he had trouble breathing.

Once in a blue moon, my parents quarrel and they call it the hurricane season. And yes! it gets plenty messy. I heard some of you compare these to rollercoaster rides. Are these fun or scary?  I am not fond of the hurricanes as I am not allowed to move out of our home base rocks. My elder brothers face the tide too. Mom keeps us safe during this time as well. How fascinating can moms be?

I like playing with a lot of you when we visit the shore. I know I cant stay longer because the other shore awaits too. However, its fun to come back each day. Some of my friends live in the parks and play with you more often than I do. They call their homes -wave pools or lazy rivers. Although I feel a little jealous about them getting more playtime, I still think it’s not too good to be lazy. Also mom said All play and no work makes Jack a mere toy.
