Some days I wish Empathy was optional. Well... for some people I guess it is, and eventually we are better off having a heart. . . . #rantyourartout #feelings #thoughts #writerscommunity #writersjournal #writers #musings #unutteredmusings #womenwriters #quarantinelife #lockdown #documentyourdays #indianblogger #liveauthentic #livefolk #life #empathy (at India) https://www.instagram.com/p/CO-08GhJ7vs/?igshid=9rlsjk0idk6z

Hang in There. Sometimes, that's all we can do. Hang in there. Be patient. Hope for the best. My sister @kookycookie tested positive for Kutti Kamini Karuna. Inspite of not leaving the house ever. Like once this year. Thrice last year. This shit still found her. So we've spent all of today worried out of our minds. Thinking of the worst possible outcomes. Trying to be positive. My anxiety is next level. But then I've had a whole year to reach a leveled out space, a place where like The Hulk I am always angry...well anxious. So here I am trying to hang in there. Trying to keep calm.

I guess life was never perfect. It was good. Hard. Fun. Trying. Joyful. Stressful. Busy. Going by in a blur. Then 2020 happened. The world changed overnight. I am not being dramatic at all when I say- our old way of life came to a screeching halt. Our Old Ordinary was replaced by this new and frankly abhorrent New Normal. Chores piled up. Hands were rubbed raw from frequent hand washing. Everyone got a taste of what anxiety feels like. Isolation. Distance. Work from home. Masks. Quarantine...became a part of regular parlance. We adapted. Grudgingly, slowly but surely we adapted, prayed for normalcy. Hoped for a miracle. Read everything we could about our invisible enemy. Stocked up on groceries. Cooked dinky meals. Binge watched shows. Read our blues away. We tried. We did. We got exhausted. We soldiered on. All of us last month, I looked back and thought of the year that was. What I did, what I survived and what I learnt. I wanted to write about my year in semi-isolation. But somehow looking back and talking about it as if it was all done and dusted felt grossly insincere and appallingly naive. Because it's not over is it? Not even a little. No matter how sick/tired/fatigued we may be and God knows we are well within our rights to be, it's NOT OVER. We are still here, a year later in the thick of it. My city is seemingly on fire. Lockdowns and curfews are back. So I will shut up and keep my lessons from lockdown to myself. When it's finally, well and truly over, I'll talk then. When we are back to the #OldOrdinary I'll circle back to it . Till then, please wear a mask. . . . #writerscommunity #writing #thoughts #rantyourartout #lockdown #life #nothingisordinary #pages #longcaption #pages #moodygrams #morning #musings #unutteredmusings (at India) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNT9-dcJvZv/?igshid=f8t8p94mzpoq

A little long exposure gave me this! 😍 . . Established near Chandni Chowk in 1864 when trains from Howrah, Calcutta(now Kolkata) started operating up to Delhi. Its present building was constructed by the British Indian government in the style of nearby red-coloured fort and opened in 1903 making it one of the busiest railway station in the country. . . #shotongalaxys8 #mypixeldiary #rop_ #silkysmoothvisuals #visualvibed #indianphotographers #bay_of_photographers #pixelmanit #way2ill #meinbhiphotographer #moodygrams #visualmobs #theimaged #gramslayers #eclectic_shotz #yourshot_india #fatalframes #rantyourartout #_pfafeature #agameoftones #picshoutoutindia #coophshoutout #canon #canonindia #canonphotography #_coi #sodelhi #clouds #cloudscape #cloudporn . . . . . . . @indian.hobbygraphy @[email protected] @indian.photography @indian.photography @indianphotographyworld@indianmobographers @indianmobographers @indianmobographers @[email protected] @pictures.of.india @stories.of.india @indiatravelling@indiainblack @indiainblack @photographers_of_india @splendid_india @wanderers.of.india @wahhindia@click_india_click @click_india_click @travelrealindia @_instaindia_ @picturesque_indiaclicks @moments.of.india@way_of_indianphotography @way_of_indianphotography @indiaview@indian_photography_club @indian_photography_club_ @colours.of.india@exhibition_for_you @tasveero_graphy_ @sodelhi (at Delhi Junction railway station)

THESE VIOLENT DELIGHTS HAVE VIOLENT ENDS . And in their triumph die, like fire and powder, Which as they kiss consume: the sweetest honey Is loathsome in his own deliciousness And in the taste confounds the appetite: Therefore love moderately; long love doth so; Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow." - Westworld #rantyourartout #deathinmyframe (at Under the Dark Star)
