Musings of a wandering mind

I talk, I sleep, I eat, I breathe; like most other human beings. But I doubt who else would have such volumes of thoughts racing through their head at the same time.

Why is it that the world seems to be rushing around? Everything is flying fast, birds chirping and the thunder roaring. Nobody has time. We all are so occupied in our lives, we have become so much mechanical that even our heart has started behaving heartlessly. Why is it that we are always expected to be at our best? Why are we still supposed to receive A+ on our report cards? Why does everybody look for ROI in every relationship they have?

 Money, cash, debit cards, transfer, discounts and offers matter more to people than anything else. People no longer consider it essential in giving a reason for leaving a job or even a relationship. Yes moving on is the most natural solution to all problems; but is that really a move, on?

 I'm tired, tired of all the mechanical stuff, the fake smiles, the broken wings and the heavy hearts.

 We carry degrees from the so-called top-notch universities and call ourselves educated. Everybody is rushing in the race to excel. Everybody is trying all means to get noticed, playing games and moving ahead. Politics is everywhere. Filth has come out from the dustbin of our souls and is spreading garbage everywhere. There is not much value for someone who might have a functional interior but possesses a shabby appearance. All that matters is the glittery $1900 outfit and the plastic coloured face.

 And then again the world is a lot easier for someone who is a good talker than someone who isn't. In fact, the world runs with good talkers than good-doers. You might have done a lot, but at the end of the day, it will be the one who 'shows' who steals the show.

I'm a not an excellent communicator either. I make spelling errors, grammatical blunders, but that doesn't stop me from writing and sharing. I'm not the best at everything. I do not succeed to give my 100% all the time, I did not receive A+ all the time, I do not have an hourglass figure either, but I'm not one of those who calculate ROI projections before making friends. Maybe I should have, or perhaps I should start now, but there's a little something that doesn't let me not be me.

 No, wait for no; I guess I will continue to be just me rather than be plastic and be tagged perfect by others.

It is just another Monday morning of 1996 in the city of Silchar, Assam.  The clock strikes 8! My brother and I have to rush to school. We don't want to be late again for our morning devotional class. Before leaving the house, I take one last look at my little sister and then myself in the mirror... Brushing against my school badge, "Omnia Vincit Amor". I wonder how Maa manages to make us look like human beings every morning. "Riki!!! Riki!.... aaarey dhaatt te Riki... taratari aaay naa, abaaar tor jonno deri hobe" (Riki, we will get late today as well because of you!) My brother yells at me while he hurriedly walks out of the house. As we step out, our voices chorus:  'Maaaaaaaaaaa, aschii; Babu aschiii...!!!' (Bye Maa, Bye Baba!) I run after him to match his stride. Somehow, the weight of the big school bag on my shoulders always seemed to slow me down. Or maybe it was my tiny legs! I wonder!! Just as I was adjusting my school bag... ' Ahhh, Aah...

Sikkim: a trip to remember | traditional food, chilly weather and warm people

Our last trip in December 2019 turned out to be a great vacation. It  was a last-minute pick after our planned Meghalaya trip had to be cancelled  amidst the violence in Assam. Trust me it was painful cancelling those  round-trip tickets for a journey that we had been planning for a long time. Call it bad luck, but this wasn’t a new occurrence. So, this time, we decided  not to expect much and just go with the flow. My husband and I wanted to experience snowfall and adorn the view of Kanchenjunga. After a few Google searches and reviews, we zeroed in on Sikkim. Having experienced a couple of painful times on our previous trips- carrying around  heavy luggage, my husband and I wanted to travel light this time. Although we  ensured that we pack a few right quality garments to keep ourselves warm. Our itinerary looked something like this: Bagdogra> Darjeeling> Pelling> Ravangla> Gangtok> Namchi> Gangtok>...
