A Day That Made No Sense (But Somehow Still Mine)

Today was… well, let’s call it “an experience.” From morning till evening, I went through the motions, yet somewhere deep inside, I felt like my time had slipped through my fingers. By evening, I couldn’t help thinking what was the point? Even during my college days, I never felt so utterly unworthy of the hours I’d spent.

The truth? I’m not sure if I’m fit for these little in-and-out, this-and-that, so-called “productive” activities people rave about. Maybe I’m not wired for them. Maybe I’m just… me a freak, a lone walker, the sort of person who watches life like a movie and sometimes wonders who’s holding the camera.

Still, no matter what twists or turns tomorrow throws at me, I know one thing: I won’t change myself for the sake of fitting into someone else’s frame. If that makes me the odd one out, so be it. I’m happier standing alone than squeezing myself into a crowd I don’t belong to.

Funny thing is, I started writing this without a clue about what I wanted to say. My mind felt absurd, like it was trying to solve a puzzle made of clouds. But here I am, still typing, because even nonsense has its place. Maybe this is my own kind of sense-making pouring thoughts out, not to be perfect, but to be real.

So yes, the day might have been a waste in some grand cosmic calendar. Or maybe it was exactly what it needed to be pointless, random, but undeniably mine. And if that’s not worth something, then I don’t know what is.

After all, I’m still here. Still walking. Still me. And that, my friend, is the best thing I didn’t plan today.

Let Me Sleep, Not to Dream....

     Some nights, I don’t want answers I just want silence. Not the kind filled with buzzing thoughts, but the deep, weightless stillness that John Keats writes about in “To Sleep.” His lines feel less like poetry and more like a whisper to the weary .      Keats doesn’t glorify sleep as a dreamy escape filled with fantasies. Instead, he sees it as a quiet refuge from the noise of life. I remember one night, after back-to-back classes and an unexpected family argument, I sat by my window, emotionally exhausted. No words, no energy just the weight of being awake. That night, I opened Keats. His line, “Seal the hushed casket of my soul,” made me close my eyes. For once, I wasn’t trying to sleep. I was inviting it in like an old friend.      I’ve often found that poetry meets us where no one else can . Keats understood that some days feel too loud, too real. And what we need isn’t escape, but a pause a gentle covering of all that aches. His...

From Questions to Acceptance: The Quiet Strength Within

Today, I began writing my blog not with clarity, but with a curious uncertainty. I didn’t know where to start or what to write. Once, I was filled with questions. I constantly asked: How? Where? When? Why? What? These questions shaped my journey, my identity, my hunger to understand the world. But something changed. I’ve stopped asking. I’ve begun accepting. Life has slowly revealed its quiet wisdom to me not in answers, but in acceptance. I no longer seek explanations for everything around me. I no longer expect people to explain themselves, prove themselves, or live up to my vision of who they should be. Why should they? Everyone is walking their own path. It’s not my responsibility to evaluate their pace, their truth, or their struggle. I’ve learned not to expect, not to demand, not to act out of pressure or illusion. Instead, I’ve chosen to receive what life brings openly, peacefully. “I don’t expect, so I don’t act. I just accept.” That is my mantra now. I’ve found that ac...

When Hope Sings Softly Within !!!

     There are times in life when everything outside falls silent, dreams are delayed, plans fall apart, and people we trust walk away. Yet, even in such silence, I’ve felt something quietly fluttering within me a small, unwavering voice that says, “Move forward.” Emily Dickinson’s poem “Hope is the Thing with Feathers” captures that feeling so perfectly. She compares hope to a bird that perches in our soul, singing wordlessly through the fiercest storms.      What struck me most is how Dickinson says this bird “never stops at all.” That line stayed with me. In my own life, when I felt lost after rejections, personal losses, or simply long nights filled with doubt, I didn’t always have someone to lean on. But this soft inner song remained. It never asked for anything in return. Just like Dickinson’s bird, hope never demanded food, praise, or reward. It just kept singing.      I’ve learned that true hope doesn’t come from external success o...
