Hi!
As chirpy as it sounds or not, my enthusiastic self is pretty much jumpy on a Sunday morning. Jumpy not so much, but satisfied and very much at peace with the view I have here. You’d wonder, what’s so great about it?
I have one simple answer to it, it is as peaceful and satisfying and
poetic, as it is, to so many people living in sea facing bungalows or waking up
in high rising buildings.
Living in a small town, and coming from a small town makes you appreciate so many things in life. Not to say, I’ve not been to the big cities. I have. Lived, Loved, and Left pieces of my heart there. Delhi, Calcutta, Bombay very brief, but yes, these three for now.
All combined, the rush I feel in my heart, those moments when you feel
completely absorbed by emotions that dwell within, and perhaps come out a wee
bit when you read a good book, listen to good music, dance to your favorite
tunes or simply watch an episode of your favorite show on Netflix, all of these
can be done here.
Man, nostalgia has
a way of sneaking up on us like climbers, literally. This is my room, yes.
Cute, Comfy, very accommodating with the right curtains, perfect winds, correct
music, hitting on your face making you vulnerable to yourself and also making
you brave at heart to conquer the world at the same time. Then again, you have
your to inner peace to thank for that.
Parts of me know what
I love about this room, and parts of me don’t. Not necessary a bad thing I’d
say, the parts unknown, keep it thrilling, and fun and just challenge me to put
the puzzles together.
As most of you know by now, I love obsessing about the things I love, most of us do, but this room, is a bundle of thoughts that brings the morning Calcutta sunshine through the windows, very vintage, and very Piku like.
Then again, these curtains are an ode to
my hostel days, and specially an ode to friends with whom I shared the load of
my Delhi diaries, bringing in the songs from Love Aaj Kal and New York, and the
wall behind me, literally is my all-time mood board from Aisha’s room from Wake
Up Sid, pushing me everyday to one day have a cute little nest in Bombay.
Well, this place
is also where I built a discipline towards my career, got my heart broken,
built the best relationship that siblings can have, kept staring at the moon, and
hoping to find my soulmate. Well, the list goes on and you would never hear the
end of it.
But most of all, this place is my home, this is the place where my roots are, my family is, my peace of mind is, and this is the place that keeps me glued together at all times. The air is still as fresh as that of a hill station, the food still is very much organic, people continue to be very simple and uncomplicated, not a word that we come across everyday.
This is the place which keeps the poet, the singer,
the dancer and the writer in me alive at all times, and I will forever be in
gratitude.
Keep the love
and light in you alive.
Signing off.
