Me and My Shoes
My many pairs of shoes lie in the shoe rack and just wait for me to wear them everyday. But, living in a common shoe rack with other pairs, they know that they can't be the chosen ones everyday.
Every morning when I open shoe rack they all look at me with puppy faces so that I pick them out of others. Some, also try to woo me and remind me of their existence by falling off the rack right onto my feet every single day.
I can't blame them, because I was the one who showed them the world once. And now that they've seen how beautiful the world is they want to see more. But I can't be blamed either because I can't wear all of them at the same time. I understand their greediness, but one pair for a day is all that I can do.
But there's one thought that hits me hard every night. How can so many pairs of shoes live together in a 'Competitive Shoe Rack'? I mean I've never seen them fighting and tearing up each other or maybe they're smart enough to not fight in front of me, because maybe they're scared that I would dispose them off for their bad behaviour.
But, how can they compete with each other and still sleep beside each other in the same 'Competitive Shoe Rack'?

I met someone when I was going through something rough.
We got along very well and she made me feel worthy again.
She assured me of a friendship that would never end. All that was not true I know now.
She texted and talked good about me then, only to feel worse thinking about it now. She made me feel like I was important, only to realise the truth now. "Stay away from her"... My friends warned, but little did I listen to them,
For I had found my so called friend for life.
Slowly I started counting upon her and that's when she changed to worse.
She started ignoring me for no reason.
She started avoiding my conversations.
She started giving reasons for not being there.
Whereas the truth of the matter was that she were all words and no action.
Be it when she spoke to me then or be it when she isn't speaking now...
With time, her promises broke, her priorities changed...
The last thing I know, I am not her friend anymore because, friends don't give you reasons for not being your friend.

Would you believe me if I said my house has started hating me?
Lockdown has not only changed a lot of people's lives, it has also changed many buildings' lives too.
Like I said my house hates me now. The same one which used to chill almost alone everyday, with just my granny in it, now feels a burden to host me, my mom, my dad, my granny altogether suddenly for so many days. It has started feeling that we aren't giving it enough privacy to chill like before. I mean come on it has grown up like that, so I can't really blame it.
My house has never seen so many people stay together continuously for so many full days. I can understand how awkward and uncomfortable it might be feeling these days. It isn't really used to so much of noise, fights, emotions, drama all at once. Also, I feel bad for spoiling all its summer plans but what else can I do? I can't go and stay at someone else's house. I mean, what if their house is feeling the same?

Hey Diary,
It has been 8 years since I burnt you.

Then, you were there for me when nobody else was. You patiently listened to everything that I said. Remember, I always used to run to you whenever someone insulted me. And you always made me believe that everything would be fine someday. I trusted you, and that's probably my biggest mistake.

I shouldn't have trusted an ugly open-for-all book that had no shame going from one hand to another. A book that had no privacy of it's own. And a book that shared out my secrets without any compunction. All of this because I once threw you across the table where you slept!
How fair was it on your part to ruin things?!
How enormous was your EGO?!

One fine day,
I thought to myself,
Why not do something different?
I thought to myself,
Why not forgive and start afresh?
I thought to myself,
Why not work harder towards my goals?
I thought to myself,
Why not start doing all these?
I said to myself,
"One fine day... I will"

All those who once said "I am an independent person, I don't need anyone". Now is the time for you to behave like one and prove your words. 😶

Stop bothering your long lost friends just because you're in quarantine and have nothing better to do. 😒

In today's era of fast food,
Man tries to make food dark and colorful,
But forgets to make it taste the best.
Man tries to find God in stones,
But forgets to find God in humans.
Man tries to preach the best things,
But forgets to practice the same.
Man tries to pray for world peace,
But forgets totally about the inner peace.

Has someone ever chained you,
Because you're naughty,
Has someone ever thrashed you,
Because you spoke a lot,
Has someone ever caned you,
Because you bedwetted when young,
Has someone ever beheaded your friend,
Because it's a festival,
If you say no,
Then you're lucky,
Because I've seen and experienced all of these.....
Said a dog to a human!!!

Every thing that I think, has a unique reason,
Every action that I do, has a cause of its own,
Every word that I speak, has a meaning of its own,
All of which nobody else except me knows,
And none else needs to know either,
So stop assuming,
I don't need your advices,
I can handle my life better without them,
So go mend your own lives.....
