Date Night

Have you been to Mumbai during the monsoons?

If you haven't, good for you. If you have... poor you, I feel you.

Dates are supposed to be happy-happy for all. You're supposed to pick a good location that is comfortable for both you and your date and then pray to God that everything goes right.

 This is not what happened.

 Ashish the Great asked out my roomie Chaynika on a date on a day we were all sure it was gonna rain for a long long time.

Good for them though, right? I was pretty down from all the goings on that day and came back to our rooms to find Chaynika going around like a whirlwind, trying to tuck her hair in place, adjusting her top, fidgeting way too much.

It was actually amusing to see her go about cribbing how Ashish should have picked another day, hypocritically blushing and smiling to herself from time to time as she thought about him. They were already an hour or so late for their date because it was pouring cats and dogs.

We realized that the rain was neither going to stop nor slow down. This led on to Chaynika calling Ashish every 5 minutes and ushering him to book an Uber and come downstairs. As a joke, I said, "Come I'll escort you to your Prince and then you can leave in peace".

I'll comment here, that Chaynika does not get my humor... at all.

She actually jumped at my request and screeched, "REALLY? You would do that for me??"

I didn't have much of a choice after that.

I grimaced, took hold of my mini umbrella and walked out of the door to brave the rain for a date I wasn't even going on. It was pouring and we were literally wading through waters, the contents of which we had no idea about. It took us around 15 minutes to wade through the street we walk in 5 minutes.

I cursed at Chaynika all the way. Chaynika cursed at Ashish all the way. All three of us cursed the weather all the way.

By the time we reached Woodland, I'm pretty sure my jeans were drenched (I know, bad idea to wear a pair of jeans in the first place...but let's let that go for now). It didn't matter how funny the whole situation was or how grumpy we looked. One look at Ashish, made Chaynika forgive him altogether.

Ashish gets this goofy grin when his girlfriend comes in and simultaneously I literally feel happy vibes coming from Chaynika when he opens the door...every. single. time.

I was planning on keeping my "angry bird" look that evening. But love conquers all. I don't think anybody could have missed their chemistry that night. Chaynika and Ashish are actually sitting right opposite to me while I edit this post.

All the best you guys. May all you Chaynikas find an Ashish. ;)

Flipping Off Your "Humanity Switch"

-
Image
You may have come across people in daily life who have the ability to completely turn off their emotions for a while. People belonging to the "Vampire Diaries" fandom, know exactly what I'm talking about. What is this "Humanity Switch"? Basically, according to Damon, you can flip your humanity on and off as and when you wish to.  Switching it off lets a vampire detach his/her actions from any emotional judgment or guilt. This is the excuse these creatures have for killing ruthlessly and actually consuming a nutritious diet of blood, blood and just blood. Can we do it? Depends... Upon whether you really want to, whether you have the will to flip it off or whether the situation demands such a thing of you. You may have seen... Some people are able to keep a check on their emotions for a certain time and then simply break down once they are ready to.  Of course, this isn't a healthy way of dealing with problems...but then

How Does a Writer's Block feel?

Nobody really realizes, until it hits them and there's nowhere left to run. It starts with the boredom. When the thought of compiling another set of words into a paragraph or prose section that makes sense begins to seem like a huge task, or when you simply cannot make sense of all the words that are flashing through your head. So fast, that you feel like reaching out and grabbing one, just so you could read it and take comfort in the feeling that you know it, but the horror strikes when you realize you don't really want to. For the longest time, I tried to deny the feeling of being bored and burdened by the thought of my own words. I'd sit to write because a thought crossed my mind and I knew if I wrote it down, I'd get to keep it, save it even. But the words just wouldn't come. Typing started to seem futile. So I tried to jot down everything on pen and paper. It would seem that the block doesn't discriminate between scented parchments combined w

You.

I wanted to walk to the moon and back For you I wanted to hold your hand in my little palm And walk across the shore in some foreign land I wanted to take a ferry to some distant place with distant dreams and you beside me I wanted to carry your hopes and sorrows and dreams and share them with the world, so they could see You. I wanted to tell you...so many things So many stories, so many tales Of ice cream cones and starry nights and winter breezes and olden sights I wanted to feel you, touch you See you grow. I wanted to support you when you needed me and watch you unfold. I want... I wanted... you. I wanted to go to that movie you said you'd hated but I loved so much I wanted to catch that bus you promised we would but never got on. I wanted to roam around the streets aimlessly and hear you complain again I wanted to have those fights over a call that I thought were necessary and you knew were lame. We've made history together and I want
