My Dear Boston !

-
I was just looking at my friend's pictures taken in Boston. She recently visited the area to see the beautiful fall colors. The Boston and the New England area is famous for its abundant and a wide spectrum of fall colors. So it reminds me of my times in this city. The flashback....

Boston was the place where I got my first ever job after school. Its special presence in my world is due to the financial freedom that it presented to me. I could do whatever I want, spend on anything and everything and basically fall in love with myself....absolute freedom!!
But the friends I made there was the real "icing on the cake". I have done so many crazy things with them...which God knows if I would have ever ventured on my own!

The city itself was overwhelming. The lush greenery around, beautiful architecture, colorful people and me! The roads are small, some may say inefficient but I grew closer to the city everytime I lost my way in it. The little cribbings about snow and cold weather seem so far off now. I have always loved the Fall season...where the trees become colorful, radiant or just alerting you in their own way that winter is here. The evenings in Fall where it gets very cool and you find warmth and coziness in your jacket, in your hearts. The feeling is beautiful...I have felt it and I know it. But I am far from that...in a much better weather. I fear no cold but I have no colors. Its ideal some may say, but my heart still longs for that feeling...the change in your surroundings...the change in your mood.

Oh dear Boston, I miss you so much. Your memories remind me of that newness that life offers and those subtle things we feel in response. Its overwhelming sometimes!

Power of Cinema

Today, I want to share my love for cinema and how it captures my heart with its authentic emotions and depth of feeling. When I find myself deeply drawn to something, I often ask myself a fundamental question: "What part of me is resonating with this? Which part of me feels complete because of it? And why, if at all, do I feel incomplete without it?" Since childhood, cinema has fascinated me. It transports me to another world, immerses me in its reality, and leaves me changed. Some films create such an impact that I feel unable to return to everyday life. Recently, two movies— The Idea of You and Red, White & Royal Blue , both on Prime Video—had that effect on me. The actor who captivated me was Nicholas Galitzine. His performance left such an impression that it compelled me to write this piece. Galitzine is devilishly handsome, with a chiseled face, expressive eyes, amazing hair, and a smooth, silky voice that he uses beautifully to sing. I watched him play very differe...

To Sid, With Love

-
My Dear Sid, Words can never fully express my love for you, Your beautiful face makes my heart skip a beat. Your eyes, so full of depth and curiosity, Call upon me to drown in their beauty. Who are you, and where have you come from To melt my heart so profoundly? Your lips, so perfectly shaped, How I long to kiss them gently. Your questions, endless and probing, Challenge me; in my mental captivity, I struggle to find the answers. Forgive me, for I falter and feel unworthy of your love. The way you look at me, Your gaze piercing my heart, Reveals that you are extraordinary, In every sense of the word. Your observations of life and truth, Your bravery in questioning my ways, Bring light into my life. I am thankful to the vast universe For blessing me with you, Even though I feel unworthy of such a child. Forgive my anger, My foolish belief that I know better. Mother, take me back, let me learn, To become worthy of this incredible being. I love you, Sid, More than I can ever express. May...

Matthew Perry's Memoir and the Search for Inner Peace

-
Matthew Perry, renowned for his portrayal of Chandler Bing on the beloved TV series "Friends," passed away on October 28th, 2023. As a long-time fan of both the show and his character, the news of his death hit me deeply. While I was aware of his struggles with addiction, I realized I knew little about the man beyond his public persona. That's when I came across his memoir, "Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing," available on Audible in his own voice. Hearing his story from him directly lent a profound authenticity to the narrative. The memoir delves into Perry's extraordinary journey to fame and success, particularly his iconic role in "Friends." However, it commences by exploring his early life and the childhood trauma that shaped his psyche. Raised by divorced parents living on opposite sides of North America, he grappled with profound feelings of abandonment, insecurity, fear, and constant anxiety. It's a narrative that resonates wit...
