I love you! I really do! But not in all specified way. I see you from the bay, Admire your presence. I see your changing phases, From calm and neat, To arrogant but sweet. Everyone in the world is wanting your chase.
You have your flaws I have mine too. Acceptance with imperfections isn’t that love teaches you to do? I cherish your imperfection By becoming your reflection ! Every time I try to least our distance, My actions are hindered by some resistance. Maybe these forces are greater than our force of attraction. But hey love, I’ll jump and fall back but will never stop making efforts For that I know nothing is forever, but I hope it does get some better.
It annoys me when you suddenly disappear, I always wish you were here. The day I don’t have your sight, is the day I am all quite. And the day when you are full of you, I wish I could tell you what you make me go through.

Uncertainty is so fragile. One moment you think you own this world and the next moment is full of doubt. I know we all are going through some rough patch and thinking about the future is the obvious thing to do. Speaking about thinking, we now have a lot of time to do that ( as lock down is been practiced all around the world). But this thinking is now turning into overthinking for many of us. We are doubting our relationships, our careers!
‘Do they miss me the same way I am missing them right now?’ ‘Do we share the same bond we used to share back then?’ ‘Is there any future?’ ‘& if its there, what am I going to do? ‘Do I still hold that Job?’ and many more….. Too many questions right? I am no expert! But uncertainty does make you feel anxious. It is not easy to deal with uncertainty. It has never been that easy. But Hey, all these feelings are valid. Love, Hate, Sympathy, Respect, Aggression, Doubt, Frustration ( you know this list is going to be a big one! 😅) All these feelings are valid until they are expressed right! People have different response towards uncertainty. Some freak out while some don’t bother much. But mind you, ‘people are different not difficult’. These responses are merely based on one’s choices and beliefs.
There are so many things that are uncertain to us but we still keep the hope. We ‘hope’ that one day these things will be certain to us. Take for instance when King Ravan abducted Devi Sita, Lord Ram never knew how he is going to save her. Will he be able to see his love again? But he didn’t lose hope. He did everything that was possible for him in accordance with honesty towards his karma. He had full faith in his love for Sita that he would make it to her. One victory lead to another and he did saved Devi Sita by defeating King Ravan (long story short)
My point is we should trust the process and should not merely give up on things, just by thinking we are not capable of doing it & not trying.
Ace Hood – “Even when it’s tough you keep on pushing that’s the concept / Keep your head up, keep the faith and Trust the process.” Don’t get me wrong, it is important that your goals are focused towards a specific result. Ultimately, that is what we are all after. However, if you focus solely on the end result, you are setting yourself up for failure. When it comes down to actually getting things done, there’s a much better way to go about it. Also your goals must be process oriented. There is beauty in not knowing what universe have kept for us. Uncertainty also comes up with new opportunities in life. The possibility that anything can happen is more but what if that ‘anything’ is what you wanted/waited for your entire life.
Another example of uncertainty and how it is been leaded by the characters In the book The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks’ which is also a movie now,
(Spoiler alert 👉) A love story where a person is reading the story from his notebook, and implies to the audience that he is reading to his wife, who suffers from Alzheimer’s disease and does not recognize him. Throughout the story he explains he is also ill, battling a third cancer, and suffering heart disease, kidney failure, and severe arthritis in his hands.
He resumes reading the story and describing their life together: her career as a noted painter, their children, growing old together, and finally the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s. He had changed the names in the story to protect her, but he is Noah and she is Allie.
In the last scene, Noah goes to see Allie and finds her in bed asleep. She wakes up, recognizes him as Noah, and tells him that she loves him. They kiss and fall asleep next to each other, believing their love will take them away together.
Noah knew it is highly uncertain for Allie to recognize him again but he never lose hope. He kept reading to her. Believing That “Science only goes so far and then comes God” And in the end she did recognize him.
TRUST THE WAIT. Embrace the Uncertainty. Enjoy the beauty of becoming. When nothing is certain, Anything is possible. – Mandy Hale.

Tell your Favorite quote from the series in the comment section . Would love to see. Take Care & Have a nice Day ! 💖
COVID- 19 virus outbreak has caused many countries to go on lockdown. The virus is thought to spread mainly from person-to-person.
Between people who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet).
Respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes.
These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs.
People are advised to Self- isolate themselves in order to reduce the spread of the virus. Self-isolation means you stay at home isolating yourself from the public gatherings, going to school/work.Self-isolation sounds easy but trust me it’s not. It requires patience, control, and faith. People are broadly classified into introverts, extroverts, and ambiverts. Introverts and ambiverts might find self-isolation comfortable. But the problem is with extroverts. They might not find it as comforting and easy as compared to the introverts and ambiverts. It may cause stress.
So here are some ways to have a comfortable self-isolation –
Watch movies – I mean, come on! We have always dreamed of NETFLIX & CHILL but due to work/school, we have been canceling on it for ages. But now we do have some time, so why not invest in some good content.Here are some movie suggestions –
3. Contagion I recommending this movie because there are freakish similarities between the current epidemic. It does give you certain anxiety so watch it on your own risk.
4. Up ( Animated movie) 5. Dead poet society 6. Parasite 7. Begin again 8. Inception 9. Interstellar 10.Pursuit of Happiness 11. Cast Away 12. Hangover 13.Marriage story 14. Due Date And many more. Also, you can always binge-watch Friends, The office, Big bang Theory.
Learn a new instrument Learning a new thing will always enhance your personality & also it will give calmness to your soul.
Clean your room, Organised it. Your Mom must have been telling you to clean your room for ages. Do it. You’ll feel better ( Nothing, other than cleaning your room can make your mother happy . Trust me #punintended )
Self care . Give your body ten minutes of mindful attention. .Check-in with your emotions. Sit quietly and just name without judgment what you’re feeling. .Develop a regular sleep routine..Aim for a healthy diet. .Make your skin healthy – moisturize, use natural face packs.
Create something: Paint, even if you are not good at it. create wall hangings, doodle, write dairy, cook.
Read Read novels or any book of your kind. Read Newspaper – Be updated on the current situation. Read Blogs/ Articles
Tell Others How much they mean to you In such crises, You never know what will happen next. Everyone is stressed. So Call/ Text your loved ones. Tell them how special they are for you. As you are spending time with your parents tell them that you love them, make food for them, thank them. Take care ( spread the word)
Personal note to everyone out there – Isolation is important. If you are having any kind of symptoms regarding the COVID- 19 report it to the hospital. If you are not doing so you are not only causing suffering to you but also to your loved ones.

Mahim (E) Art District aims to create a positive impact on the area and its residents, while also paving the way towards making people more conscious about their environment. Furthermore, various range of activities such as curated tours and jams will be organised with direct involvement of the residents/locals.
When one utters the word ‘art’, what immediately comes to mind? Canvases featuring abstract strokes of paint displayed in palatial spaces? Patrons in full regalia, sipping champagne out of delicate flutes? The common man being able to earn only a fraction of the selling price of the painting in his entire lifetime? These were the nagging thoughts at the back of the minds of four artists who decided that they didn’t want art to remain in the elitist confines of galleries and auction houses anymore. They created St+art Foundation, an initiative supported by Asian Paints, that set in motion a much-needed urban art intervention. St+art Festival enlists the help of renowned Indian and international artists who embark on a mission to transform city localities.
ARTIST INFORMATION :
Emmanuel Jarus, a Canadian artist known for color and figure compositions that fit the walls and surroundings along the streets and landmarks of cities in Canada, the United States and Mexico, has just given finishing touches to his work on a Mahim street.
The Consulate General of Canada in collaboration with St+art India Foundation got Mr. Jarus to Mumbai under a public art initiative aimed at getting people to explore the area and bring in footfalls. Mr. Jarus painted from November 13 to 21. (2017)
In association with the Brihanamumbai Municipal Corporation, St+art India Foundation is working to establish a public art district in Mahim.
PERSONAL VIEW :
Historically, street art always existed in the form of graffiti on walls. While there is no distinction between the two, graffiti has been always associated with vandalism. What was earlier a tool of the oppressed to communicate their stories and mark territories has evolved into art today. India is no stranger to graffiti culture. But the movement taking over our streets now is not just to reclaim public spaces and spread social messages but also to beautify cities. Mumbai, for example, has been using street art to rejig underdeveloped areas of Dharavi (Asia’s biggest slum) and other economically backward sections. Similar to Delhi’s Lodhi Colony, Mahim (east) has emerged as Mumbai’s art district.
Appreciation is the highest form of prayer, for the acknowledge the presence of good wherever you shine the light of your thankful thoughts –
Alan Cohen
We thank every person who does something for us. We kind of appreciate every other person for their smallest deeds towards us. Appreciation is always good. It makes us look more caring, generous and also encourages the other person to do more of that work. Also self appreciation is important. The world is becoming tougher day by day. We don’t need more egoistic people around us. We need to be kinder towards others. This is the only way to build up our whole new world which is kinder towards each other.
We need to recognize the work of our colleagues, they are the reason why our daily routine is going smooth. Being arrogant is not cool anymore. Everyone is fighting their own war of life. In such a situation, your kinder gesture will surely make a difference. Your gratitude will give them a sign of hope.
Also for that matter, we should not forget ourselves. We need to thank ourselves for getting up in the most unfortunate situation & fighting all odds. Appreciate yourselves for getting up in mornings, going for work, talking to your toxic friends even when you were not in the mood, for having a self-care day & many more. Your cheat days are VALID. Your imperfections are VALID. You are VALID. Wanting a validation is not a bad ritual, everyone needs it. You need to appreciate all of it. Don’t blame yourself for every damn thing that happens around you. The universe is by your side.
Perfect happiness is a beautiful sunset ,the giggle of grandchildren, the first snowfall. It’s the little things that make happy moments, not the grand events. Joy comes in sips, not in gulps.
Sharon Draper
We are busy letting our past govern our future. Our heartbreaks, anxiety, depression, confusion is not letting us to have the joy of little things.These things make us feel ungrateful of our-self & make us do things which are purposefulness. You cannot let these things to effect yourself or define you. While giving importance to such negative events we often ignore all positive things going around us. World is filled with happiness , we just need to notice it.
I know its difficult for anxious people to not think about anxiety. Cause anxiety is always always there it never disappears. But we can divert our mind by focusing on good things around us. Seeing the small child & smiling faces . Smell of first rain , and feel the wind while travelling through trains , see the sunset/sunrise. Happiness is when stranger smiles back , when DJ plays your playlist,when your train is on time , when your mom cooks your favorite food . Its just our way to see the world .We anxious people are too shy to say others that we really care for them . So why don’t we do just little things to show them that we really care.

Little things like don’t hesitate to text first , don’t believe in it but see your zodiac sometimes they do make your day. Celebrate your little achievements .
Have you ever visualized yourself somewhere you really want to be & got instant goosebumps? In the world of confusion , uncertainty & unclear mind , have you ever got that good feeling about something that you really want to be ? You always wanted to work on yourself towards that ‘something’ in your life but only didn’t because of people around you thought you are not capable of that particular thing. If it is, so save yourself !
Take stand for yourself cause only you CAN. Always fight for the things that make you feel happy & ALIVE. Disappointments may occur but never lose HOPE. The way you don’t give up on your cravings , don’t give up on your dreams😉. No one can see what you see in yourself , no one can feel the same as you feel about yourself. Where there is effort and self dedication , DESTINY has no role to play.

The thing you are finding , without which you can’t live, which is the only purpose of your life is within YOU. So save yourself!
