I yearn to be the light,

Residing within every heart,

Occupying every mind.

The one you turn to in pain, seeking solace,

The one you celebrate with in moments of joy.

I aim to be the light.

Though there are days when darkness engulfs me,

Days when nervousness shatters my serenity.

On those days, I may seek your radiance,

For you to be mine.

Sweet LearningsšŸ¤

 Few “somethings” I’ve unknowingly adapted/learnt from Baba  :  1. He’s the only empathetic person that I know. When I say, “the only” I mean it. Moments where one would expect a reaction built around anger, this man simply tends to replace it with calm; responding with an alternate of letting the situation go, building it with solutions.  2. He’s built our home. They say that the people who live in a house, a home (I AGREE) but here all the credit goes to Baba. He’s built it with immense efforts ensuring all our needs (Aai’s, my sister’s and mine) are brought together even if it meant he’s had to extend the expenditures. Without a single “NO”.  3. Along with being an empath, the power of selflessness is also something he possesses heavily. As much as I like to believe that I would want to inculcate it within me, I doubt if I will ever match his.  4. He’s one mad mad hard working man. He’s retired for about two years now but it just seems like he’s loved wo...

DetouršŸ¤

For almost three years now, our family has gotten used to visiting Mahabaleshwar once, every year; to spend a little extra time than we do at home. Before I started with my new workspace here, we took a two day trip. This time, with a detour. A detour via Konkan. Actually, Mahad. From here, Kadwai, our native is about 3 hours away. We took a halt at Visava - a place we consider our “Tea Time Halt”. It’s funny how I pictured my entire family sitting on this big table, chatting about what vegetables we have to buy in sangmeshwar for the dinner we’re about to cook at night once we reach but even funnier, when the snap of - “aaj jevan karaila jauya ka ratri Bagicha madhe” hit me.  Simultaneously picturing two scenarios in my head, I forgot about reality. The reality being: I’ve not been here in the past four years since Appa. And every emotion ran through. BEAUTIFULLY.  I had forgotten how Konkan really is. How beautiful it is right now in Monsoon. How it is full of greenery and s...

Teen Years.

“Your teenage years are the years you’ll forever cherish” HELL NO. All that I’ve learnt from my teen years is this. 1. You’re never, I mean it, NEVER ALONE. In many ways, it’s great but now that I’ve grown a little ( I feel ) too much is too much. Literally. You’re constantly surrounded with people you’ve considered friends, family, they bring out versions of yours that may silently fade away with your growing up - and that’s okay! 2. All the friends that you make in those years, will slowly start to grow apart from you and so would you, but that is okay; as long as there’s respect and love from a distance. 3. You’ll have to ask for a lot more permissions from your parents when it comes to “taking a trip”. You’re young and innocent, likely with that special someone by your side, though you can't mention their name because your parents are, understandably, suspicious.  4. You may end up doing wrong to some people out of your own irritability / insecurities but you’ll have learn...
