Distance hurts but we got to do what we like best with that distance
By
Aakriti
Considering its an all
new chapter of my life I have started here the count of lessons too shall begin
from that very first number we were taught to write as ‘one standing line’.
#1. Distance hurts but we got to do what we like best with that distance
As you grow into a
mature butterfly with every single day that passes by, you also realise that
even as you try to keep that pain and tears away from your dear ones, wanting
not to see them dissolve in that pain, they are doing the same at the other
end, protecting you as always. Pro- tec-tion. Se-cure. Its fab-u-lous how words
form a melody and a meaning in themselves. How se-cure makes us cure and how
pro life is pro-tec-tion? Did you ever share this with these words, for they
know not the meaning they hold?
Yes, they’ve been loved
ever since their re-cog-ni-tion and val-ue added some more val-ue to the
already eventful life. There is this sol-ace ( sole-ace) that they give,
perhaps darling as you find a fondness in that reading, I find mine in writing.
The words bind us the way they always have.
If extroverts had an
option to find solace then maybe they would want to have one special gift from
their loved introverts. It would be being at peace with that fabulous book and
a comfy corner. To think of, it’s not hard, right? In fact nothing is hard
until it is tried and tested. As a writer writes, a comfort and that special
solace comes by, not coz words have always been loved but because words as they
come by, they leave soft kisses on a heart that longs for love every single day,
on a heart that has been full of life every single day.
Once a teacher told her
student, who was annoyed by the fact that she was not a good reader. He said “Just
that there is a need for readers there is also a need for writers, for if there
are no writers whom shall one read?” These words brought a smile to her face,
for she was a writer and still continues to be. There may not be many people
who read what she writes, there may not be that appreciation for her words, at
a large scale, but knowing that she always writes because it pleases her is a
beauty in itself. Why, you ask? The pleasure that small things give is at times
magnified by the big things, to the extent that one forgets the sole of
happiness in big events. She writes coz she loves. She also writes because some
day she would like to gift these words, little bundle of joys to her children
when they grow up, hoping that they would nurture these little curly letters in
their own ways.

I’m away, yet I’m doing fine…….
By
Aakriti
Dear Love,
I know I cried like a
mad girl in those two months, it’s really surprising but it feels as if that
was long time ago. As they say “time is a great healer”. Indeed. Perspectives
change and with time we bloom too. You remember, I would often tell you what I
would tell myself in troubled times “That which doesn’t kills us makes us
stronger” and so goes the truth. We have
all come a long way. So have I. To know that many a laurels were achieved not
for the sake of extrinsic motivation but for the self is indeed satisfying. While it now feels like that a magic
happened in those times, truth is it was all hard work that went behind. True
work always pays. It has and will. It somehow feels like a letter to my self
even as I write to you. Well, every word I say to you gets softly reflected
back. You know you are a bestie and my therapist!
Life is a blessing, why
crib, cry and waste precious tears over mundane moments which shall eventually pass
by and then after a few weeks it shall feel all silly. Ah! Like my Master’s
dissertation days! Gosh! Tell me something, are some courses meant to give us
jolts like that?
I’ve always been a
believer of true insights. These
insights come along way too…It’s like a butterfly which eventually comes to
life when it’s fully developed. Today, it feels as if I have been both inside
and outside the cocoon at the same time, waiting to be set free by the
invisible walls at the same time see myself fly with those gorgeous fragile
wings.
This life here was
meant to be. Yes I chose it under pressure but yeah destiny is also something I
believe in.
Que sara sara
What will be will be….
The future’s not ours
to see….
Que sera sera….
What will be will be…..
And no matter where we
are….
Twogether we shall be…shall
be….
Love.
