Allowed SPACES

You give me a room and I will make Space for anything ranging from Clothes to Books to Shoes.

I have a laptop and I ensure that I secure a Space for all my Memories in it.

My phone has Space for my Dropbox, my Contacts and Useful Applications.

The house where I am currently living in has a pretty Garden where there's lots of Space for growing the Flowers I like.

I set aside a Space for my Better Half each day, to speak to/ listen to/ think about him.

I make some Space for Coldplay almost everyday in my to-do list.

Having said that, NonSense is the only thing I shall strive to never ever make S p a c e for, be it in my life, my work, my family ties.

Turbulotropy: Can it be reversed?

It is actually funny that we get all the so-called "precious" advice (unasked and unwanted actually) these days from couples in early/ mid-30s and/ or married for just about, say, 5 years, who had zero idea about where their life was taking them few years back when they were our age, were in a far worse/ complicated/ turbulent situation than ours right now, that too because of their own misjudgments and bad decision making, all this while pretending in front of the world that everything is going smoothly (posting lovey-dovey pics clicked at international locations..not that I am jealous of them), while it was exactly the opposite if you could peep inside their house (if I take the example of one of the couples, everything can be understood from their present health), were certainly not thinking about whether to start a family then, later or never, and are in another kind of turmoil even today!

They have this pesky habit of literally throwing their opinions in the form of "experience" at you, presenting it in a smartly different way each time they meet you, in the hope that you will someday become frustrated by the constant reminders and ultimately implement what they desire. And yes, when the D-day arrives, they don't even give a damn to it, and very conveniently embark on another mission to show you that "You can NEVER WIN...Ha Ha Ha Haaaaa"!!

Don't know when such people will start empathizing instead of frantically advising, distracting and "confusing" "The Less Informed Ones" all the time, and begin focusing on the chaos in their daily routine.

Agreed, that they have achieved what they thought was necessary for them as per their situation, agreed they have spent more number of years as couples, agreed that they finally have a kid (who is thankfully keeping them busy), and agreed that Avengers: Infinity Wars is an amazing movie (and I am serious about this one)!

However, they must know that the universe is not going to end if they stop acting/ looking "mature and wise" in front of "younger couples" and start thinking about themselves, their families, their children, their careers and their well-being as a priority.

There can be better hobbies than "We-couldn't-make-it-that-way-so-we-wouldn't-let-You-have-it-this-way-either" I suppose. :I :X

The Perennially Tired Girl

I'm so tired of this routine
Of these rules, made for everyone but applicable somehow only to me
Of this monotony that has completely engulfed my existence
Of this train that picks me up at the same station and drops me at the same station everyday
Of people who I believe are not worthy of my company
Of those who remember me only when they are in dire need
And of those who leave no chance to unnecessarily mock at me when it is them who are guilty on the inside, everytime
Of expectations of every possible size, irrespective of whether I'll be able to fulfil them
Of waiting for the moment when I will feel happy and satisfied from the core of my heart, and not just to show it off to other people by putting an empty smile on my face
Of the nervousness when I know for sure that I'll get a cold response which I don't deserve at all
Of the inability to understand why do I always try to bow in front of even those who I know will never ever respect me for who I am or even my perspective
Of all-time pessimists
Of this surprisingly slow life of mine
Of not getting enough sleep, and that too a peaceful one
