Life in a box #1

Finding and Losing myself in lock down!!

Working from home| Lockdown In India

I wonder why I sometimes feel the urge to laugh at my prolixity.! There was a time when I never used to go a day without writing down at least a page. I would hate not being able to write everyday and these days (Covid era) I am comparatively inactive with my writing other than what I write for my job. Duhhh, that is business writing, not one of my stories or the series of poems that I lovingly crafted on a moonlit night almost cried myself to sleep that day. Life exhausts you sometimes, you gotta run and keep running like a moose. Started 2020 on a strong note by moving away to a new shehar, making new friends, growing as a person, and eventually falling in love with self. It was a tremendous journey, you can have a look here ABOUT IT ..

Anyone who knows me knows that I prefer not being faineant on any given day. And to top it all, my alarm and my sleep never dovetail, they seem to hate each other, sorry boys :(((

I wake at 12 in the noon and go to sleep by 4 or even 5 in the morning, if my father lived here with me it would be hilarious of a reaction from him seeing me up at 5AM. Lol.

Then, it only matters whether I am buoyant or not throughout the day!!

Whatever comes my way, I try to embrace it and own the problem, the sheer delightment that this is how life is, helps with waning away my woes. I have a habit of greeting people with a sparkle in my eyes and a non-fading smile on my lip, now that I am covered head to toe while outdoors just makes it so difficult to reach out to people or just shine a beautiful smile at a stranger across the store!!

Where there is sunshine, there is shadow underneath. Although there are people that are equivalent to sunshine in the human form, there is always someone that fights or hates you for no apparent reason. In such cases, my agenda is NOT to get cantankerous no matter how pissed I am at them. Karens be Karens, what can we do to stop them?

Somehow all those interactions with people who spew hatred has driven me to a conclusion that whenever I act amicably and in a kind manner, it has always made me more ravenous to be nice & caring. People are all the same deep within, that is what is connecting us and keeping us tied together, cosmically. We cross paths when it is time for our interactions to take place, at least that is what I would like to believe.!!!

I find no harm in being mirthful, so be the world. I am grateful for this life and this job, this house, this little guy with puppies running behind him, I am grateful I get to eat food, so I wish for more strength in me to be of help for the needy.
