HO! HO! HO! Merry Christmas!

It's Christmas today and I can't help but revisit the beautiful memories of numerous years of wonderful Christmas celebrations at Sacred Heart School..It's been 3 years since I experienced those lovely festivities and yet the feelings are still as heart warming as ever.

Our Christmas celebrations marked the beginning of our much awaited winter break. The day used to begin with a special Christmas assembly filled with Christmas carols where our respected principal ma'am addressed us and wished us a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Then we all would go to our classes where we'd be given the lovely ginger cake after which we'd march to the school ground for the Christmas play.

In the ground, the entire school would sit and watch the alluring play depicting the birth of Jesus Christmas followed by an admirable dance performance of the angels. With that all the students would scatter around the school having a gala time with their friends sharing food and jokes. The school would be filled with delicious smells and the laughter of the children. Several kids could be seen wearing the Santa costumes going about with their friends. The celebrations were always incomplete without the DJ. Every year, our school would set up the music system in the school ground so that everyone could dance their heart out with their friends and celebrate this awesome festival.

Christmas is a festival of sharing joys and happiness and spending time with the people you love. It does not matter if you're 5 or 20 or 50 years old. There's no time or age unfit to have some fun of your own and enjoy your life. Remember life is but a celebration. So I wish you all A Merry Christmas And A Happy New Year. May 2017 be one of the best years of your life.

Silent night, holy night!
All is calm, all is bright.
Round yon Virgin, Mother and Child.
Holy infant so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace,
Sleep in heavenly peace

Protection or Prison

  Under the guise of safety  We keep our doors closed Merely imagining the world beyond We accept to be forever entombed What we fail to recognize Is that we are our own prison Limiting our own powers We have given up our own freedom What started as protection Has now become a jail That which we are so afraid to break out of That which has become our excuse to fail   The reality is not what we believe Rather, we can actually take charge Change the direction our destiny takes And break free from the tower so large -Tamrina

The Evolving Lyrics of Life

I often say music is the sound of the soul and basically equivalent to oxygen for me. I know it sounds like a cliché but hear me out. All my life, starting from as early as I can remember, music has been my constant companion: in my joys and sorrows, smiles and tears, greetings and losses, it has been an integral part of almost all of my core memories. It inspires me, holds my hand when I am alone and even makes me make sense of my complicated emotions when I am unable to. Something similar happened a couple days ago and I want to talk about it.   Chaahe jo tumhe poore dil se, milta hai wo mushkil se. Aisa jo koi kahin hai, bas wo hi sabse haseen hai. Uss haath ko tum thaam lo, wo meharban kal ho na ho I am sure a majority of you have heard these lines many times and we all have our own interpretations of them, I did too. My understanding of these lines emphasized how we should embrace the love that walks into our lives and hold on to it as it is a rare thing to find but also, we m...

My 2024 Wrapped

  I have contemplated writing this post, wondering if I am really in a mood to travel back down the memory lane and explore the year I had. But here I am, reflecting on what all went down in the last year, just as a way for myself to document my journey through the chaos. I started 2024 in a not so good mood, with dealing  emotions that were just too heavy to be explained in words or even understood, from feeling lost and alone to at the same time feeling guilty about letting down the people who cared for me, it was a complicated beginning. Then came a happy moment when I attended my first ever concert, something I desperately wanted to do. On the work front, I continued my MPhil journey, learning things I assumed I wouldn’t be able to do and finding ways to accomplish my goals in ways that were interesting to say the least. Feelings of being overwhelmed and not doing enough for my goals were a near constant, often to the point of being counterproductive. I learn...
