Calm in the Chaos

 The only words to express what this past week has been?

Utter CHAOS. Period.

Not the negative kind, at least — but the kind where your world spins so fast on its own axis that you somehow arrive at the next destination still reeling from what just happened.

And yet, somewhere in the background of your mind, there's this quiet realization: the next step is beautiful too. Maybe even more beautiful. And fulfilling in ways you hadn't expected.

So yeahh, that was this week's rant.

Thank you for listening — I love you all for that. I really needed it.

This whole week, something's been lingering in the back of my mind: the changing nature of friendships as we step into adulthood.

Until I was 18, there was this constant need — like my life depended on it — to make friendships work. To make them stay. To nurture them, even when they were struggling to breathe.

But as I grow up, meet new people, create new bonds, learn to let some go, define boundaries, and understand myself better... I realize — maybe this is what life’s going to be like.

I'm going to meet so many faces. Call some of them friends. Share deep conversations. Learn from them. Be there for them. Have them for me when I need it.

And when the time comes, just let them go. Not because they are not worth it, but because it's their nature to simply flow - like a river. 

Not forget them entirely — but keep them tucked away as a cherished, distant memory I may never relive again.

But then, there are also the ones who stay.

No matter the distance.
The missed calls.
The delivered texts. 
The cancelled plans.
They stay.

 Not because you’re all they have — but because life seems impossible without you.

These are the permanent ones. The forever’s of life. The North Star's in my night sky.

Between these contrasts, it occurs to me: maybe this is just the universe’s way of teaching balance.

Between love and indifference.
Between laughter and tears.
Between success and failure.
Between nothing and everything.

So maybe that’s what life is about —

Holding space for chaos, for shifts, for change.
For the friendships that feel like home, and the ones that quietly drift away.
Here's to holding on gently... and letting go gracefully. 

If you find yourself resonating with these little life lessons as I continue to figure it all out — feel free to stick around.

Welcome to my little haven of the web, Heyy,  So if you happen to stumble here, thank you and welcome. This blog is more or less, just me yapping stuff, coz journalling and frying my bestie's brain is apparently not enough, so, here we are ! But more than that, this feels like a place where I can pause, breath and reflect. Some place, where I will share the tiny moments that make me smile, or make my eyes water on perfectly fine day- or where I just rant to keep myself sane.  I'm a student, a dreamer, a thinker and just me. I have found my paradise in nature, books, travel, spirituality, and yes, mechanical engineering (really!). I also, like to be quiet and am drained of social battery, ALL the time, just give me my books and headphones and leave me be, but also share a knowing smile with me, and hear me laugh across the room.  You might also catch me talking about a kitten, a doggo that made me smile so much that my cheeks hurt, or a time where I felt wronged, just beca...

Feet dipped, Thoughts Afloat

Heyy again! When I started this blogsite, I honestly worried that my life wouldn’t be “happening” enough—that I wouldn’t have weekly life lessons to share. But clearly, the past two weeks of being MIA because I’ve been a little busy proved otherwise. So, apologies for the gap… but we are back in the game and better than ever! Also, it’s officially “no rant day” (yes, I’m surprised too), because the past two weeks have taken me from “What the hell have I gotten myself into?” to “Oh okay, this isn’t that bad. Maybe it’s really good!” I hope all of you have been doing really well too! Sooo, the highlight of the past two weeks has been: I got to travel. Yes, it was within my own city (for the umpteenth time), but I think that’s the beauty of travel—you can visit the same place a thousand times and still come away with something new. This time, I visited a nearby lake (with company), and got to live out one of my long-time dreams—dipping my feet in the gently flowing water and letting...
