पहले तो लुत्फ़-ए-शिद्दत-ए-ग़म की ख़ुशी रही
फिर यूँ हुआ के ग़म में भी शिद्दत नहीं रही

Hey champ,

Tomorrow’s the big day—but just a quick reminder: you matter more to me than any exam result ever will.

Whether you score sky-high or not, you’ve already won in my heart by working so hard. So walk in, give it your best, and don’t let the stress steal your shine.

No rank can rank how proud I am of you!

Love you always,

“The Stoic’s Wish”
Inspired by Seneca's steady breath,
I'll greet each day, and even death,
With calm resolve and inner light—
Unshaken, silent, standing right.

-

In Pahalgam’s vale, where rivers sigh,
The mountains weep beneath the sky,
Where joy once danced on every track—
Now silence falls; they won’t come back.

"Our minds are like crows. They pick up everything that glitters, no matter how uncomfortable our nests get with all that metal in them."

“Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. These passions, like great winds, have blown me hither and thither, in a wayward course, over a deep ocean of anguish, reaching to the very verge of despair.”
~Bertrand Russell

Ah, what if I should fade 'ere dreams take flight,
Like buds unkissed by spring's consenting light?
To drift where unheard lutes in silence grieve,
And golden hopes like autumn leaves do leave.
O cruel hush! To sigh through life’s sweet core,
Yet die with longing knocking at the door.

-

A phoenix bound in
hearth-born chains,
her brilliance spent in
others’ name.
Among the thankless,
she unfolds
—an orison
in shadow cast,
A bard unsung,
whose golden years
like autumn leaves
are scattered fast.
R.k. Shergill

Unfortunately
I am the type of person
that you can screw over
one million times
and I would still be
there for you
if you needed me.

You meet saints everywhere.
They can be anywhere. They are people behaving decently in an indecent society.
