What would you do then ?

When there are a million things going on in your mind and you can't even hold to one! What would you call it? When the day just disappear into thin air and you spent your nights sleeping so even they don't exist. What does even existence mean? Shallow living and deep talks! Or is it just another way to fool the world or fool yourself?

You are searching for solutions and answers everywhere but it isn't easy with what is going on. You want to take charge of your life but not with the set terms and conditions. But who will let you decide it? Nobody. And if you can, then trust me you are one of those lucky people who have this much Independence and freedom not necessarily in every field but just where it is needed the most. I never want you to take it for granted because those who have it never value. I knew precisely what I was getting and I was thankful for it and still, I am. Also, at the same time, I do know what I lack and how it is affecting me.

One wrong decision and your life will fall apart. In my case, it is falling piece by piece letting me feel the intensity of every hit. Do you know how does that feel? You don't because you become numb in the process. You want to feel things but you just can't. You can't call yourself mortal as you have lost that right. You are just a living body because your soul has left long back. When someone holds your hand you don't feel the warmth. Their reassurance means nothing as nothing is going to change. You just sit in a corner and close your eyes and beg yourself to go into a deep sleep because that's the only solace at the moment. But you know what, even dreams won't let you sleep peacefully by presenting scenarios you fear and making them real all the more.

What would you do then?

Review - The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse by Charlie Mackesy

There are moments when you just want to ask questions and sit beside your friend. You want someone to answer them for you even if you know the answers yourselves. When the answers come from someone you are close to, they look much easier to deal with than before. They make more sense whenever you fail to convince yourself. Such is the magic of good friends and companionship. This book is all about it. You will read all about love, kindness, tenderness, and courage. The book revolves around The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse, as the title suggests. First, the boy meets the mole, and later they meet Fox. As the journey goes on, they ask each other questions which are simple but thought-provoking. You would want to sit and think about answers that you would have given or hoped for after you are done reading. It will make you wonder how sometimes the simplest of things have the most impact. My favourite quote from the book is when the boy asks, “What is the bravest thing you’ve e

Review - The Sound of Boots by Merena Toppo and Mansi Sharma

  It is a Covid lockdown story which revolves around a father-son duo. The book depicts several stages of their relationship, from their initial lack of communication to their eventual warming up to each other. It is a simple story that touches my heart and gives me mixed emotions of happiness and grief. We all had such moments during lockdown where we found our lost love towards our family and loved ones. For some, it has been a nightmare. Yet, for some, it represented a glimmer of optimism that transformed their life. This story gives confidence that everything is attainable with equal efforts from all sides. Here, the father unveils a few secrets about his life that he has not shared with anybody, not even his wife. And this secret reconciles the bond between them. Sometimes, someone who fears judgement holds so much inside that they worsen the situation. When expressing their fears is all they need to do to release themselves. It is a lovely book that encourages you to be more acce

Review - A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara

This is a larger-than-life kind of book. Where you trade between one character to another or one story to another seamlessly. You don't even feel the need to go back to the other end. You enjoy what is presented to you. Well! At times you despise it too. As per my understanding, the story revolves around three main themes - Relationships, Abuse/Trauma, and Depression. You can find some ideas or opinions interchangeably in these. Character names - Jude, Willem, JB, Malcom, Andy, Harold, Julia and Richard Depression If you have ever read anything Depression, then you just know the tip of the iceberg. This book takes you down on a deeper level and shows you what is underneath the iceberg. Now, you might not be ready for it but it has been shoved at your face. You have to have it despite its uneasiness. I took a break from time to time to grasp the story in a much better way. A person can excel in his career but the ghosts of the past won't let you live in peace. Some incidents are
