To be an eldest child is to swallow all the words you have ever wished to speak and all the emotions you ever wanted to express.

The Historic Raigad Fort.

- This is where Shri Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj was coronated on the day of 6th June 1674 CE.

The beauty of this fort is enhanced even more in the monsoon season when everything turns green and foggy!

How tough it is to pretend that you don't care but deep down it is the most soul sucking thing you have ever experienced.

devi: the goddess within

i have often heard people refer to women as devi insisting on their divinity. but often the implications are about Sati or Sita; the ones who perform sacrifices as their earthly duties. but what if she’s not?

what if she’s a mere human with many many faults and flaws that she works on diligently? what if instead of being single dimensional, she’s kaleidoscopic? what if she’s wrathful like Chandi but also demure like Gauri? what if she’s the source of life like Aditi but also dwells in cremation grounds like Kali? what if she’s wise like Saraswati but also possesses immense beauty like Laxmi?

if you really think about it, perhaps her dharma is only to figure out her life and honor her own light. perhaps, the reason she exists is for herself but she chooses to welcome others and love them. perhaps, she is the embodiment of all the devis; but on her own terms, just how she wants to be.

In english we call it "Destiny"

But in Bollywood we say,

Door kahin aasmanon par, Hote hain yeh saare faisle, Kaun jaane koi humsafar, Kab kaise kahan mile🎶

The tears, the sweat, the prayer and the undying hope, it was all worth it.

its just you in your cold, dark room, all alone at night while it's raining outside. you're imagining that someday, someone you deserve will be in your arms, listening to this same song.

match my freak?? How about you match my emotional intelligence, my understanding and considerate nature ?? That'd be cool.
