Remembrance

Some stories do not begin in telling them,  They begin in remembrance.  In knowing who you are.  This is one such…

Food has its own language.  As mundane as dal bhaat can evoke deep feelings of roots, home and simplicity.  The converse is also true - high-end gourmet food - gives you the ultimate guilty pleasure. And then, there is always bread - the most uncomplicated food item on the menu - which can be shaped in any form. Often messed up - crumbling, burnt, buttered, cheesy. A lot like life, actually, love 💗. So, go ask your beloved, "Khana khaya?"

Good morning is not just a greeting.  From your beloved, it is like a warm hug of safety and love, before the world throws you into chaos.  It is a way of saying, stay with me for just a few more breathes.  Let me feel you for real, as I feel you too.  And then, we promise to return to this same breathe as we cross the threshold of our home again. That's some emotion, isn't it?

Some songs feel eternal... Especially when the moon shines the brightest. This one is one such gem.  Tucking us in with love and warmth, and a soft forehead kiss - aur kya chahiye?

Some people are just... awesome. They don’t need to do much - their quiet presence, a well-timed joke, or that one-liner that lands like a chef’s kiss... it’s enough. Let’s raise a toast to them. To the ones who make life lighter just by being real. We see you. We hear you. And yes, we love you, babes. 💗

Some days, I’m fine is enough. Not great. Not falling apart. Just… fine. A warm cup, a half smile, a quiet playlist that knows how to wait. Not everything has to be figured out. Some days, being okay is the whole victory.
