What I Think

The transition of seasons- How smooth do they make change look! Winter-Autumn-Spring-Summer-Monsoon Repeat. You don’t notice them changing each day But then you feel it when they arrive when A pang of cold hits your face; or while Returning home from work without an umbrella on a rainy day or when The sunsets are delayed And in that moment of realisation  They make you feel they are there to stay But before long One’s gone and ready to welcome the other You don’t always like all the seasons For some its too hot, rainy, breezy or cold; on most days And you would kill to go back to the comfort of your favourite season Like I- to the warmth of winter  Most attach it with bleakness But it’s my happy place Not only because of fuzzy sweaters and how beautiful it makes everything look But because of how at peace it makes me feel I can’t stand cold but I love it Ironic, right? But that’s how it is. Your world will flip upside down  When y

Thank you 2017  For all the lessons and realisations Some of which I had forgotten earlier  Thanks for the strong reminders this year  For removing the toxic people from my life It’s so important to have Real Kind Supportive and  Positive people around you  For you- not to doubt yourself Every waking hour Thank you For gifting me with an empty slate Just about when I needed it the most Thank you 2017 For helping me restore my faith in life  And myself It’s been good For the most part Actually not so much in the beginning  Thank you for ending it right for me Life feels like  A path of roses But luckily the thorns don’t prick me as much now.

It's rude to not exchange pleasantries  With someone who's been Such an inseparable part of you Someone you have a history with and so- Hi, I said mindlessly  How are you doing? It's been so long since We've sat together  And had a conversation  About all that's wrong with the world  And my decisions  And me. Hi, came the reply We've been lonely You seem busy with your  Work and life and friends  And everything in between  We felt abandoned  So we stopped by to say hello We have a lot to say to you Come, let's sit tonight  And talk. We know you don't want to But we miss you. Said the voices in my head.

I am sorry I have neglected you- Yet again. Forgotten you for the millionth time After promising, To stay in touch this time around. I am sorry I keep forgetting about you, For seemingly important things. But I swear I'll make an effort- Again. A sincere one- Again. To get back to you  Because nothing makes my soul happy Like you do. I have made my love for you public. In times like these, I think that was a mistake. Maybe it should have remained just between us. All the love and the conflicts; All the efforts to stay on the same page And coming back together But I have let the world know- What you mean to me, And what becomes of me, When we are not together. You are my favourite distraction  And it'll always be that way. You leave my mind sometimes But never my heart. You never will. I miss you While having tea On lazy Sunday winter afternoons Oh, what I wouldn't give to have your company! I sometimes

1/3 Because the grapevine is wild; Every step, every uttered thought, Is going to reach it- Sooner or later. And you sow the seeds yourself The fruits it bears are your Missteps, mistakes and misadventures. Playing a twisted game Of acting like a broken record And as luck would have it, It'll only play when you are least prepared for it But are you ever, really? Nude by Harry Holland 2/3  It's like the uninvited guests Who try to barge in When you don't even have the strength to get up from your bed And there's just clutter- in your room, in your head You would give anything for them to think There's no one home. 3/3 Sometimes you are going to wake up  At wee hours in the night You'll be sweating And you wouldn't know why You'd want to cry and yell And your heart would race, running from the voices You'd doubt everything and everyone. Yourself the most. You'd apologize to yourself

Shoppers, rejoice! Spanish brand Zara has finally launched its online store. Yay! I cannot contain my excitement and I am pretty sure neither can you. :D I personally am super pumped for Zara launching its online store in India. Clothes are the obvious first reason. A close second are their perfumes. They are to die for. Not only do they smell amazing but their sillage is unparalleled too. Bonus, they won't dig a hole in your pockets either. ;) Since I am a huge perfume aficionado, I keep looking for fresh and interesting scents and so earlier I mostly had to depend on my friends to get them for me. Not anymore. Yippee! There are very few brands whose collection is always trendy, chic extremely high quality yet affordable. Zara is undoubtedly amongst the A-listers. Gone are going to be the days where you could shop Zara apparel and accessories only if you happened to be in any of the 20 cities where the brand currently has its stores in India. The company has ti

They are always on my nerves. My brother trying his wrestling moves on me without my consent, from the choke-slams to the face busters, I have been at the receiving end of everything by this little Hulk Hogan (or so he thinks he is). He's eleven, short and slender; strong, nonetheless. I am almost always on the verge of either crying or yelling at him with such an intensity that it's a miracle I can even speak after. When he makes a mistake, I try to shower him with 'Pria's Eight-fold Path' to wherever it is that I am heading. His response is always positively mimicking me and disappearing into thin air after. I wish I had that superpower. So while we are on the topic of hating siblings, let me tell you about my youngest sister. Hold on a second, let me grab the list (which makes for a book honestly)of the times when she has justified me calling her an imp. From ruining my gifted tops to losing my favorite book to eating my exquisite Belgian chocolates which I

Welcome! You have come to my happy place. 💗 This has been a long time coming. I am not claiming to be an exceptional writer here but that does not change my immense love for writing. I have had an on/off relationship with it though. I gave it up periodically for more important things at the time; or so I thought. Only now have I fully realized nothing, I repeat, nothing is more important than doing things that make you, you. You don't have to be a pro at it or compete with anyone else as long as it feeds your soul and makes you happy. You don't have to feel stupid doing what you like because honestly everyone has their secret vices. Sorry, I digress. You'll find me deviating from what I am writing in pieces like these more often than not because that is how my brain functions. I have the attention span of a goldfish. Anyhoo, back to my relationship with writing. The 'off-times' have been meh but the phases in which I chose to write made me feel like m

A few months back I went to Chennai for some work.One day when I got free early I went to the local beach there. I love being by the seaside. It was so tranquil..so calm but it stirred a storm inside. The first thing that came to my mind was I.. we.. are so inconsequential.  Marina Beach, Chennai
