Incomplete

I wake up to a morning accompanied by a blocked nose, watery eyes and ten consecutive 'achoos'. No doctor has entirely been able to cure my chronic allergic rhinitis yet. Breathing through my nose is an opportunity I am often grateful for!

Done with freshening up. Time to eat a boring cum healthy breakfast. Yes you heard it right, oats and milk seriously need to get a life and leave my life too!

Where's my laptop? I open the "Stories" folder and there you go...So many incomplete stories bundled up there! God, why do I get stuck midway always? You know, beginnings are always a treat and endings hardly fail to ill-treat my stories by rarely showing up.

"...Thoughts travelled back and forth in her mind with each song. She stopped her car near a restaurant and there she waited patiently for her favourite cuisine. *Chicken Alfredo Pasta* deserved being loved and savoured. Living in a foreign land, for the sake of money and money alone is #SadLife. She had skipped office for two days and she knew that her salary was going to be deducted. For once, she said 'Eff it, I don't care' and gifted herself some *Me Time*. When you are undergoing a temporary social menopause, this sort of time out is extremely necessary...

...On her way back, she changed the playlist and played the music louder. Loud enough for her thoughts to stop screaming for a while. The cops stopped her car. Enquiries done sternly. She could hear *honk honk* all over the place and she woke up from her sleep. 'Somebody kill me, how could I miss office today.', she grumbled for a while..."

'Achoo'...My day ahead is ruined. But, "She" is my creation and she does not have any kind of allergy. If not me, she can have fun today. I don't know about the ending even now but I can try and make *Today* her *Best Day* for sure.

A Glimmer of Hope

From endless conversations to awkward silences, we have come a long way. We made ourselves believe that this is it and those forced smiles and formalities now act as radical activists of maturity, suppressing the voice of our hearts. Defying the gravity of good times and what had been so special, I walk on the concrete road, that has become an anchor to the deserted garden of wilted moments. The solitary confinement that I find at night is brimming with fogs of abysses overpowering the faith I had in the strength of our connection. I have so much to say to you, but if I were to make a choice of summing it up to you, I would say "I miss you." It is as simple as that, I miss you because I have travelled miles of treasured times with you. I have laughed out loudly in your company, without being concerned about the world that was asleep. I have shared the tiniest details of my life and the most dreadful nightmares with you. I haven't learnt to fabricate the care I have for y...

May

The month of Mental Health Awareness came to an end last week. Putting your alarm on snooze after this? Please don't. This is a movement with a global welfare perspective and it needs your support to grow. The awareness campaigns on mental health and mental illnesses by various organisations both on and off social media reached out to a section of the population which is great but reaching out to every human being is the larger objective. The baby steps we take now are the roots of the foundation for tomorrow. Understanding the person next to you, encouraging emotional hygiene, sharing your awareness with fellow citizens, normalising mental healthcare services is a few starters we need to work on. When winter is the season in town, you wear warm clothes to protect yourself from catching a cold. Agree? Winters will come and go but mental health is not seasonal, it is a permanent part of our lives. The month of May is the ship which will be back next year but...O Captain! My Captain!...

Awestruck

The dark night smiles for you, Your eyes light up its world. It enjoys your company, Those adorable self talks, The way you visit your dream, Life then seems to have a perfect theme. It ignores the stars, Hardly cares about the moon, Persuades the sun to sleep a little more. The dark night doesn't want to rise, A secret admirer it is, Wishes to be forever lost in you. ©songbriti
