Where did the days go ?🤔

 Where did the days go ?🤔

Read Time: 2.3 Minutes

“Hurray! It is Summer Holidays starting tomorrow, tonight I am going to pack my bags to leave for Grandma’s home tomorrow. I will enjoy her yummy recipes and roam around the village with my Grandpa and sleep in between them on the terrace by listening to their interesting stories. I’ll also play hopscotch and hide and seek with my cousins.” We all used to have these feelings in our childhood too. Didn’t we?

It would give us an elegant excitement listening to the word summer and we used to plan for the trip to our lovely places. But now we are stuck in mechanical lives, where we are not spending much time with our family and loved ones. We are bounded by tensions, hectic work, and actions that give us stress, etc. leading to mental illness. Do you remember how we used to gather and play with our friends and cousins? Where did those days gone now? Why there’s a change? We would travel along the fields, eat fruits, take rest under tree shade, and have nice talks with the people in our village, and surroundings. Those moments turned into memories today. We all are losing our relations day to day by engaging in technology, etc.


Lives were nice when we were kids. As we grew up, the situations changed around us and sent us to such an environment where there is no time to call our loved ones and talk to them. Don’t we feel it as a curse, I feel it so.

And I realized, I am not going to destroy myself in front of computers, and going to re-expose myself to nature. I will talk to my family members and strengthen the bonds. The upcoming summer, I’m going to pack my bags and I’ll be leaving for Grandma’s home to relive my childhood. Again, all my cousins will play games together and enjoy yummy dishes. Are you ready? to get back and cherish your childhood summer memories by leaving all those tensions and stress. Let’s start then.

  The Winking Eye Read Time: 4 Minutes Me: Ahh, Maa, please don’t pull my blanket. I’m feeling sleepy; let me sleep for some more time. 😴 Maa: Duggu! Wake up; it’s already 8 am, and there are 30 minutes left for your school time. (Oho, I wanted to sleep for more time, but Maa is planning to send me to school today. What should I do? Hmm...idea.) Me: Maa, But I feel that my temperature is rising, and my breath feels hot. Maybe I won’t feel like going to school. Also, I have a stomach-ache, and I can feel a sense of nausea. I will not go to school today, please. Maa: No, never. I know all your drama, now wake up and get ready. It’s already late, and we’re on the top of the hour. [Pulls out the blanket and wakes me up.] Your uniform is on your bed; wear it fast, and here’s your box ready. Get ready soon. I went inside the restroom and was thinking of hiding here for the rest of the time. [After some time] Maa: Duggu, are you getting ready? 😠 Me: Yes, Maa. [Takes a shower very fast, ...

Half Love

Half Love Read Time: 4 Minutes Yes! I like her and have feelings. But I never thought of saying that because my commitments stand above hers. I wanted her as a life partner, but I feared what if I could not treat her well. Our likes matched, but not our plans. She wanted to settle abroad with a nuclear family, and I won’t leave India, mainly my joint family. I tried to convey the same many times, and whenever I started to say it, either I stammered or she’d deviate from the topic and I’d lose my chance. However, today it’s time to take final judgment. I was having lunch in the office cafeteria; she walked towards me and asked. “Can we go to any restaurant tonight for dinner?” Without a second delay, I said, “Okay.” I was literally waiting for the time to knock at 7pm so that I could leave the office and reach the restaurant. Exactly at 6:57pm, my mobile screen popped-up. I received a message; she shared the location. I was dreaming how’d this dinner be so romantic? Unfortunately, due t...

The Tall Tea Tales

The Tall Tea Tales Read Time: 4 Minutes As soon the clock ticks eight, he takes the turn right. By starting his vintage RX100, my best buddy Aditya reaches my home and gives the horn signal. Listening to it, I log off from my work and silently put my mobile & wallet into my empty pockets. Turn off the lights, slowly close the door. I tiptoed to get out of the home, quickly tie shoe lace and got down the stairs.  With a huge smile on our faces, we now commence our talks. Breeze opposing us, changing gears as waves, we keep talking. Not our emotions, neither problems nor achievements. The first decision to make is, where shall we go? Feels like a million-dollar question, after heating up with brain-storming. We conclude to have that one intake, which feels like Elixir!! Internationally renounced as “Chai”. With no further delay, we hit our brakes at Niloufer. Leaving the handle lock open, we made steps into. Standing in the line, within minutes our turn arrived and the server sa...
