I just try to hold onto the comfort zone and live in a denial - someday it will be gone!

-

The leftovers, that I crave for;

I wonder, how much of an unapologetic scavenger I am!

I wait to cling onto the remains of scattered memories!

I smile through the fading laughter!

Can spend hours thinking about the unattended attic of my childhood;

And the tune; the tune of the glorious remnants of pleasant chaos, seems to be just a knock away! Or maybe years now! Or a decade or two!

But

It's late night, and I want to just take refuge in the fortress of carefully scattered memories, smiles, tears, and silence!

-

The first monsoon rain splashed at my quiet balcony and smiled at me, at my story, at our story!

-

Time is said to be endless and moving around the same ellipse!

In the journey with time, we understand that time doesn’t change, but it does alter little known and unknown truths!

It’s the journey with time that makes us believe that the smallest of the small moments shape the biggest learning!

"Maybe we were naive back in the days 

Or maybe we were in a parallel universe!"

---- backspace 

 "I am waiting,"

"We sang this together, and people really loved it; remember?"

-

Little joys of life cuddled me back, much stronger!
Little unseen, or better said 'overlooked', moments of happiness comforted back quietly!

When I started to appreciate things in life,
Life smiled back and said, "Oh girl! I am always with you through waning crescent to a full moon; just keep the faith alive!"

আধুনিকতার শংঘাঁ অবিরাম পরিবর্তন হচ্ছে;
রূপে, গন্ধে, স্বাদে নতুনের ছোঁয়া -
প্রতি দিন, প্রতি মুহূর্ত ।

কিন্তু জানো,
সাদা সেই যে চির আপন 'ভাত' আছে না?
ঠিক যেন মনের ঘরের মতন ;
নিষ্পাপ উষ্ণতায় পরিপূর্ণ!

-

Butterflies flying in the stomach,
Forgetting all possible passwords;

Sleepless nights staring at the ceiling and sketching absurd stories of 'what ifs and buts'!

-

Life seems more real; 

The grey tinge gets clearer, 

The firm grip of ‘procrastination’ is loosening up.

Maybe a carefree heart is maturing quietly!

Every single day, a hushed ‘Thud’ is hitting with all its power!


The only thought -
With each passing month
Parents are growing old!

-

Let the world be and just hold onto your smile!
In this world of abundance of judgement, dont look for clarification!
