Just A Confession!

      This one is not the same kind of blog-post I usually do. This would be some kind of a confession or sharing of feelings. So, you are free to just leave right now and not read about some of my "trivial" feelings these days.
       So, as I was saying, now-a-days I often get this feeling of aloofness that it makes everything so difficult for me to understand or concentrate upon or in real words put my head into. To make it simpler, let me give you an example. Suppose I am watching a movie or among a group of friends, I feel so distant from that thing or the people around. It is as if I cannot understand them, I cannot understand what I am watching , nor I can relate to what my friends are talking about. It all seems so different, it is as if just some slides are being portrayed one after the other in front of me and I'm just sitting there not understanding a single word of it. Sitting in silence, sitting in awe, sitting in solitude, sitting like a dog, being alone all along.
       It's very hard, you know to cope now-a-days with everything, with everyone. And I don't even want to. This feeling has been there for so long that now I don't even want to fight it down. I just want it to be there, want everyone to do whatever they are doing and someday just leave everything. Letting everything go and just leave.
       I know I have a lot to do, I have so much to achieve, so much to live for...but this feeling, this exact feeling is making me NUMB. Turning me into an insomniac hollow being. Sometimes, I feel like a "walking dead" in literal words. I don't know how to escape this and I don't even know if I have the power to do so. Everyday, little by little I am losing myself. Everyday, I go to sleep with the thought of not getting up ever again.
        There's this very feeling, you know I get every time I go to the terrace. It's that if walking upon the railing, reaching up to the edge if I could dive down...deep down and then I could again walk. But this time, on the air. As if the whole city will be the floor I'd be walking upon.
         Anyway, to cool this thing off and to divert from my cold feeling, this afternoon I was reading "50 Psychological Classics" book by a variant of writers. And to this, my companion was a glass of cold chardonnay. Here it goes...

The Innocent Whimsicality of Children

  "LITTLE ONES"     Over the years that I've lived, there's one thing that always remains a constant which I keep coming back to because it is worthy of it. The child inside me. Children are like dewdrops. They are truly these beautiful angelic beings who are incapable of nothing. They are themselves the beam of joy and bring the same to everyone surrounding them. They are always mischievous and running about their whims. You can catch them, but can never hold them back. And all the while, if I have learnt something from these little buddies, it has to be "the art of living".  To all of the children out there, take love. Children clicks.

Through The Rain

"AND THEN RAIN CAME IN" It is the month of June already as we are continued to be in quarantine. In this part of the world, it's monsoon now and so comes splashing every now and then, The Rain.  I don't really know but this very season is a bit closer to me than the others of the cycle. There's no particular reason I could think of except for the fact that the day I was born, it rained heavily as they say. So maybe it's that or maybe something else but when the rain comes and with it the strange feeling of something that I cannot really express, I suppose, the cold but gentle touch of nature along with the smell of the sky and as it pours down on the city all over and just cleanses her down is what I really look forward to every time.  As I write this, it's again a cloudy sky outside now and that's the best part of this time. These are some clicks I took a few days back after quite a drizzle took place. The raindrops fell on the cobweb of my window and...

Curious Cat in A Bakery

"The Kulcha Bakery" Once, I came across this little, local bakery in the Kargil city of Ladakh region in Kashmir. I was taking a stroll down the street by the apartment we were staying at the moment after a scrumptious breakfast of roti, sabzi,  and omelet at a busy local store. That is when I saw someone putting up some freshly baked goods in the glass cabinet of a store. I was curious since it was a very small, shady door leading to the dim-lit shop. Nonetheless, I walked right in and what I saw left me amazed. I was kind of flabbergasted by the sight of these beautiful preparations of local bread. I asked the man who was preparing the clay oven which very much resembled a traditional tandoori oven regarding the ready-to-go doughs and came to know them as ' kulcha' . They looked absolutely delicious with sesame seeds sprinkled on top of them. As I was trying to click pictures of these goodies, the man carried on with the preparations. He didn't talk much and con...
