Day #23 in a small apartment in bombay.

Question to self:
Why are the fans in the bombay houses I have seen, so much more noisier than the hyderabad counterparts?

Answer to self after 10 mins of fan-staring:
The diameter of the fans in bombay
~ = the diameter of the rooms.

And then I laughed till I almost cried (not in joy)

I love what I do!
It took me a long time to find a career that I resonate so deeply with. 7 years, to be precise.

But for the last few weeks, I don't seem to love anything about it. What's happening is outside of me - it's external, it's greater than me. My love for my work - It's personal, more internal.

This time, external chaos is overpowering the internal drive. One moment, you are trying to help prevent a few deaths by finding oxygen & medicines. Next moment, you are brainstorming on how to get users to spend more time on your product.

It feels a bit vain. It is NOT vain, it just feels like it. Right Now.

Do you believe in serendipity?
I thrive...on just the IDEA of it.

I love it so much that I look for it everywhere..
Even when somebody casually recommends
a book on a whatsapp group, I excitedly start
reading about it..With the hope that
maybe, maybe, this is it. Maybe this is the book
that I need right now, in this very moment.
Maybe this is the book that will move that
part of me, the part that is longing to be stirred!

Also like when someone posts about the
amazing shows they have been watching,
I instantly go and geek out on them on IMDB
Hoping that maybe one of these will
redefine my idea of something!

I believe in Serendipity because it humbles me while making me feel special in my own narrative, to myself.

Period of changes are always tricky, aren't they?
When you know something is about to change,
Your future self and present self start colluding in mysterious ways
Your present self cherishes the micro attachments it has developed, Most of them unknowingly!
And your future self starts wallowing in memories of the present, While they are being brewed!

I miss the strumming sounds of your guitar,
Especially those that struck a duet with the sounds of the peacock love at night.

I miss the sight of you jamming in your Flintstone shorts, while we shared a quiet smoke in your balcony.

I miss all of this so strongly, that its almost like it actually happened.
If, only.

Remember maths exams?
The only place in life where you got marks for the steps you took,
And not just the final answer..
Back in school, I used to dread our maths exams
Now I look back and think,
What a safe haven it was, wasn't it?
