Here you are, reading this in your super busy life amidst the tidal wave of the pandemic.
Did I say super busy, Yes! I am stressing about those words and let me tell you why.
When we think about the past 1-2 years, a lot of things have drastically altered our lives. And, I’m sure these changes are not just for me but for each one of you as well.
Personally speaking, I shifted to a new place and started working one year ago and this one year has been a bullet train with the pandemic on one hand and a new job on the other.
I wonder at times the things that I have done in this past year and that’s when it hits me. Sometimes we forget the most important part of our lives in this extremely busy and competitive world – the people that love us.
We don’t realize how much we are losing out on. We get so busy in the day-to-day activities that we find it hard to make an effort to take 2 minutes of our time, press that dial button and call the person who loves you or just type a meaningful message or do things for someone who cares for you.
It’s very easy to talk to someone who is right beside you but when distance plays a part, timings clash, that is when the true effort and compromises kick in. It surely is convenient to expect all the things from the other person but isn’t it supposed to be both ways?
Life isn’t easy and that’s the beauty of it. The happiness that comes after the uneasiness is the best feeling in the world.
Here’s a thing which I love doing the most. When you tell yourself ‘do you remember…..’ so many memories burst out and at that time, you realize how much you miss someone, how much you love someone, and how much you have forgotten.
Life is short, spend the time you have doing the things you love with the people you love. Be there for all those special moments with them, put up the Christmas tree together, go fishing, attend your best friend’s wedding, celebrate your kid’s birthday, ride a cycle, go on an adventure, take a chance, get up and sprint towards what you have always wanted to do.
After all, the most beautiful part of us is our emotions, our feelings, our power to retain and reminisce memories, and that feeling of memories coupled with emotions is just incomparable and truly beautiful.

I was born and raised in Los Angeles. I’m from the middle class, my father worked as the director of an art gallery in Hollywood. But what do we have? We work very hard and earn a lot, but most importantly it was like that for us and our parents too, so when my dad passed away, it hit me really fucking hard. It still does. Being raised by someone that I look up to (also because it’s not so unusual of it) always taught me “Always do your best, you never know if it could even make them happy or not” I used to tell myself. When they are gone, they leave the person that takes care of their every need. So I thought “Damn! This is the shit right now, so just make sure I give everything to God and do my best, make good stuff out of them and keep doing it until this life ends”
Now we all should be here living with love like people who pass before us, right? Well in that world…
Today it’s so real for sure, today feels really hard and cold when I think of that, because people who didn’t even meet that, but they had loved my…

Do you remember when we were on our way then… When the world was just another dream to me? Or you told me of how it used to be….The best I ever had…But not because you were there…And not because now you can’t touch it anymore. And not because I can hear and see all the words flowing and all they ever say or did…Or tell them stories because I never had the power to. You say that all this is going to leave me…. I do my best thinking and praying and singing as loud as I can so she can’t forget… And how all these years I couldn’t see and touch her,couldn’t even smell her…until today I don’t know… Is it gone…is she gone… Is I? Where is I?
And yet I have never been on another road, another day…I didn’t see a new beautiful thing that ever made you want to go out of your skin… I have not felt like being happy, being sad because that makes no sense, but never like seeing things different… I had this gift and now..it’s no longer working..I tried…and it’s still so hard to believe..to say goodbye…
