Lazy Days And Some Peculiar Thoughts

I have so much to do yet I feel like doing nothing. I love lazy days sometimes, slow days when everything and everyone does not annoy you. When even in the bad, you find the good. Do you know what is the best part about having a lazy day today? It’s not even a Saturday or a Sunday, or a Friday for that matter. It’s a weekday!

There’s A Poem for Everything

Whatever you feel might be wandering on the internet with a different name,

Everything you say might have been said before.

There’s a poem for when a friend without a pony, makes yours so gently.

A poem for someone with whom you’ve shared a laugh and because of whom you’ve cried too.

A poem for the good times, the happy moments that words don’t even begin to capture.

a poem for those productive days and lazy ones too

The fun fact is that the inspiration behind the above poem I wrote, is a poem called There’s A Poem For Everything

So basically I wrote a poem on this poem because ideally there is a poem for everything. (Doesn’t make sense? I can’t do anything about it, that’s how my brain works because it makes perfect sense to me :))

I was watching Alice Through the Looking Glass and this conversation 👇 feels like a conversation I would be involved in:

TRANSCRIPT:

Alice Kingsleigh: [finds a young Hatter at the marketplace] Hatter? Hatter? It's you!

Alice Kingsleigh: You're you again!

Mad Hatter: Well, if I'm not, I wish I was. Have we met?

Alice Kingsleigh: Yes! Well, no. I mean, not yet.

Mad Hatter: That's funny. Actually, I should know you.

Alice Kingsleigh: Well, we have met once when I was younger.

Mad Hatter: Well, I'm afraid I don't recall.

Alice Kingsleigh: That's because it hasn't happened yet.

Mad Hatter: Oh. When will it happen?

Alice Kingsleigh: Years from now, when you're older.

Mad Hatter: [confused] I'll meet you when you're younger and I'm older.

Alice Kingsleigh: I realize it doesn't make much sense.

Mad Hatter: [pauses] Makes perfect sense to me.

Coming to my next point, you know how sometimes you feel the world is indifferent to you, nobody understands you? well, spoiler alert THAT’S NOT TRUE.

Everything you say might not resonate with a person but perhaps something you say will. Despite all the differences, we’re all humans going through similar things: love, loss, grief, anger, sorrow, loneliness, happiness, and every range of emotion you can think of.

Perhaps the person next to you might not resonate with you today, but maybe tomorrow they will. Perhaps the person beside you doesn’t understand at that point in time, but the person next to them will.

If you share what’s going on, in that beautiful muddled brain of yours, you might find someone who relates to that chaotic yet systematic stuff you’re saying. Try to find those people, they’re always in front of you and if not, they might be in the back. Open your heart to the world around you.

I was trying to write something more for this blog and I stumbled across (deliberately searched) dad jokes because that’s a regular thing in my household and I absolutely love them. here are two:

If you see a crime at an Apple store, are you an iWitness?

I like telling Dad jokes. Sometimes he laughs!

These are so funny to me for some weird reason and I cannot for the love of life laugh at a real joke.

Well, talking about a “real joke” I feel like real is such a transitional word.

Ghosts are real to those who have seen it, not to me; I haven’t.

Aliens are real to those who have met one; I have; me.

what is reality? People have pondered over this question for a long time. Is life real or are we living in a simulation? Is everything pre-decided?

I found my Kundli the other day (destiny/ astrological chart) and it apparently has all the details of my life from birth to death. It’s written in Sanskrit so despite wanting to read it, I cannot. Anyway, what I mean to say is that if everything is already written then why do we have to keep doing stuff to move forward?

Some people say destiny is unchangeable so if I have for instance written in my astrological chart that I’ll be the prime minister( I don’t this is a hypothetical example) then if I do nothing like I’m doing currently, apart from blabbering about random things on this blog, will I still be the prime minister?

Well, only god knows. I like to believe my destiny is in my hands so I leave you with this thought and do something else. (I’ll go and study).

A piece of paper does not decide your future; perhaps the sayer of this saying wasn’t talking about exams but your destiny/ astrological chart ;)

But before I leave, I have some afterthoughts:

Have you ever heard about the butterfly effect? if not, trust me you should. it’s quite interesting.

I’ll tell you about it:

The flapping of the wings of a tiny butterfly can create a tornado across the state. it’s a fact.

The butterfly effect is the idea that small things can have a big impact. Positive or negative.

Do you know how many atoms joined together to make you? well neither do I, all I can say is that there are millions of atoms, atoms that were a part of the universe once. so it is safe to say that you are the universe in itself.

Enjoining the above thoughts, every action you take counts and you matter a lot. Even when you think you don’t.

I recently took an interview of the youngest Indian mountaineer to climb Mount Everest, Mr. Arjun Vajpai. And my two takeaways from that interview have to be these two wonderful things he said:

• You have a million thoughts, you can make every single one of them true.

(Manifestation, with a positive intention, can definitely take you places.)

• It is not the mountain outside that is to be conquered, but the mountain within…

I leave you to ponder upon these thoughts…

Until next time,

goodbye:)
