Couple of days ago I came across this book that I had picked up from the street when I walked back home many months ago. That book laid on my coffee table at times and my shelf some times. I wanted to read that book & see how it would help me.
When I went through first 20 pages yesterday, I was shocked how appropriate this book was for my current state of mind. The state of my mind that it has been over last few months, maybe a year now. I have decided to take this book seriously & enjoy reading it and follow little exercises to get me through to the other side. Not hoping this book will fix all my problems but I would like to be hopeful that the evolvement I am going through, produces a better me.
The written exercises I thought I could practice noting down on my blog, here.
The first exercise was to note down 3 things from past week I was thankful for. I did that part in my journal, before I thought maybe these written pieces could go on the blog for my future readings as well as, to reach my desired audience.
I can also notice that I am more conscious in writing than how I used to be. I might have better vocabulary and I might make lesser grammatical errors, but I used to be proud of my ironic style & right now I do miss that flow that made writing more natural to me back in the day. Lets see how that evolves in times to come.
Things I am happy for: (thoughts gathered on 19th April 2020, refashioned the next day on the blog)
1. Aai. I am thankful for her being here for me in these times. I cannot imagine my life in these silent times. I am sorry for the arguments we have, but those arguments are lined with my love for you.
2. I am thankful for my newly found interest in art. Art is something that I always enjoyed and wanted to explore and get better at, but I never really learnt the techniques that do come naturally to some. Nevertheless, its better to be late than never.
3. The book 59 Seconds. I am thankful that I found this book on the streets that day and yes it took so long for me to get to it to read it, but I got there. Thank you.
Terrific Times:
11th November 2017. Ajit had started talking to me through text messages & I found out that he was visiting Melbourne at that time. We decided to meet up that morning. I remember I woke up early which was quite unusual for me. I checked my phone and Ajit texted to apologise first for the lateness and then asked me if I wanted to meet at such a short notice. I was thrilled. Yes I wanted to meet him. I got ready and I remember calling Max from the car that I was driving to a cafe to meet Ajit and I am looking forward to kissing him... After a couple of coffees & some pleasant and unpleasant topics sweet things did happen. I had to wake up from that dream as I was also suppose to go to the airport to pick my parents up. The rest of the day was spent with Aai-Baba in my car exploring outskirts of Melbourne. I slept that night in a hotel room with Aai-Baba after continued chats with Ajit on texts ended & sweetest sleep overpowered me. It was one of the best days of my life after a long time and I can still feel the thrill that day brought to me & I don't mind reliving each moment of those 24 hours once again just to taste that love.
