Echoes of Childhood, Dreams of Tomorrow

Life goes on, whether we’re ready for it or not. A few months ago, I found myself stuck in a loop, waiting for things to change, for something big to happen. But somewhere along the way, I realized that change isn’t always loud or dramatic. Sometimes, it’s in the quiet moments the ones we often overlook.

In the middle of all this, I found someone. For a brief moment, it felt like they were meant to be a part of my story. But just as quickly as they arrived, they were gone. At first, it felt like a loss. But then, I understood something important: you only truly lose someone who was yours. And if they weren’t, then maybe it was never really a loss, just a lesson.

So, I moved on. I started appreciating the routine small joys like morning coffee, the way sunlight filters through my window, the comfort of familiar sounds. These everyday things, the ones I used to take for granted, became reminders that life is happening right now.

Then, something unexpected happened. I found a new group that plays football every week, and it was everything I had been missing my entire life. Suddenly, it felt like I was back in my childhood again, where playing outdoor games brought pure, unfiltered joy. Now, it’s football that gets my heart racing, my body vibrating with heat, my head on an adrenaline high. Some weeks, it’s football; other times, it’s badminton which, by the way, I’m getting pretty good at.

It’s a strange but thrilling realization: I’ve finally reached that age where making instant plans and having the finances to back them up is just crazy. A few years ago, a spontaneous trip would have been a dream. Now? I’m going camping next week. And after that, I’m finally ticking off something 
I’ve always wanted to do attending Comic Con Pune on March 8, 2025.

It’s not just me who’s changing. My friends are more mature now, and so am I. Or at least, I think I am? The funny thing is, you can never really tell things about yourself with certainty. Internal dialogues don’t always reflect how you appear to others. But maybe that’s okay. Maybe self-awareness isn’t about having all the answers, but about being open to discovering them as you go.

Looking ahead, my focus is clear good workouts, healthy food, only meaningful friendships, and dedicating time to reading, studying, and embracing change. That’s the plan, and it’s something I genuinely look forward to. At the end of it all, at least I can say I’m happy. I’m hopeful. And most importantly, I’m truly enjoying what brings me joy.

And honestly? It feels good.

When Serendipity Knocked

Sometimes, life surprises you in the most unexpected ways. It throws a name, a moment, or a person into your path that changes everything. For me, that moment came when I met her tiny, bold, with short hair framing a face that held more strength and beauty than I thought possible. She’s the kind of person you don’t forget. Fierce yet kind, strong yet tender, she carries herself with a quiet grace that draws you in. Every conversation with her feels like uncovering a new layer of the world. She challenges me, grounds me, and somehow, without even trying, makes me want to be the best version of myself. What amazes me most is how effortlessly she understands me. In a world where connection often feels fleeting or shallow, she gets me in a way no one else has. It's not just the big things; it's the little things, the way she listens, the way she shares her thoughts, the way she's unapologetically herself. Meeting her wasn't just a moment; it was a turning point. She brought...

The beauty of anime

In my previous article regarding anime, I provided a concise overview of the medium. This current piece is intended for individuals who have immersed themselves in anime culture and are at a point where they can truly begin to recognize and admire the beauty that this medium offers. Have you ever experienced a personal connection to something in an anime? It could be a whole show, a character, a scene, or even just a single line. Anime and movies have the power to bring out emotions that we may not know how to process. There are moments when we're not just watching someone else's story on screen, we're living it. We feel a personal connection to something intangible that we're watching. Anime is more than just entertainment. It has the ability to connect with us on an unspoken level that no person has ever done before. It's rare to see something that's so intimate and familiar yet tackles ...

Minus Two

I remember so clearly the first time I saw you,  proudly, confidently striding through the classroom.  yet sitting quietly and minding your own business as usual. At that moment I hated absolutely the idea of you.  To me, you were the epitome of a privileged life.    I imagined the wonderful childhood you had  with happy confident parents who praised you and gave you all that you needed.   You later came to speak to me and introduced yourself.   I felt so beneath you and insecure.    How could I possibly live in a world with people as happy, confident, and secure?   I resented what you stood for.  But over time, I started noticing you looking at me,    your eye-catching mine, and lingering for too long. At first, I thought I had imagined it and that it was all in my head.    But then I found myself starting to, seek you out,  stay back at the canteen if I thought...
