When Adulting hits you

When Adulting hits you 

Read Time: 1.4 Minutes

Feeling excited when looking at a new 
pencil in your hands, to the same hand
leaving the pencil.  Fantasizing for a 
remote controlled car and has now turned 
to a dream of buying a thar. Happens when 
Adulting Hits You 

Feet which used to run in the empty fields 
with joy are now getting into the office lift;
green farms and forests you roamed around,  
now became the screens you see daily. Happens 
when Adulting Hits You

Asking money from parents to thinking how
to give them earnings; Purchasing candies, toys
and more, to looking at the price tags. Happens
when Adulting Hits You

Postponing homework to watch TV to
pausing movies for completing pending
tasks; Attending evening tuitions has now turned
as a course in your laptop. Happens when
Adulting Hits You  



Father holding your hand while crossing road
to you holding their hands with confidence. 
Enjoying Mother's yummy recipes to 
 scrolling menu on zomato. Happens
when Adulting Hits You

Many friendship bands on your hand had 
decreased to a few; talking to your friends daily
has a chat now on instagram. Happens when
Adulting Hits You

Dancing in cousin weddings to empathizing 
cry at your sister's wedding; Thinking like a child 
you grew up into a matured MAN. Happens
when Adulting Hits You......

The Winking Eye

  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...
