Just last night, my mom told me, “Maanu, you must write somtheing everyday on your Instagram. Anything or something.” Instagram, being the platform I am the most active on. I replied irritably, “Mumma, I cant possibly write about anything. Whatever I’ve written till date has always been a reflection of my ‘current’ state of mind.” She sighed and we changed the topic.
For the past two months, I logged in several times to write ‘something/anything’. But, I just couldn’t. The past two months have been the worst and the best, for me. I let the bad times pass because feelings are like clouds, they float away. I would have loved to rant about everything that was off, in September! But, this place is not for ranting, it’s where I talk about the susbstanial things in my life. Then the month of October, came as a rainbow on a clody day. Much needed rainbow in my life.
I received so many messages on my birthday, most of them were gentle reminders of ‘shaadi ke baad sabse pehla birthday!’. It got me thinking that, how did getting married make this day ‘more’ special. I mean, each birthday I celebrated in the past years has been as special or sometimes even more. Then, I thought to myself that most of the people who dropped the gentle reminders along with the heart-warming birthday wishes, are my well wishers. Then I looked at the other side of the coin. I realised, what they probably implied was, I have a couple of more people to call ‘family’ and celebrate my birthday with. Anyway, September passed and so did my birthday. Phew! It was one of The most eventful days of my life and almost everything that could go wrong that day, did. That’s all the update I’d like to share for that month.
October happened to be a month of soul-cleansing and rejuvenation. Took off on a mini-vacation and spent time with people I love the most. The picture that you see is from one of those days!
