The One Thing

So, I watched a movie today. It wasn't a movie I hadn't watched before but, on the contrary, a one I have seen almost a 100 times - Zindagi Na Milegi Dubara.. Now you're wondering why I'm writing this, aren't you? Well, for me, this movie is not just a movie but something much much more symbolically significant.

The first time I saw it, it was with my best friend, who I had met after 5 years. But it goes even beyond that; ever since then, every time I had something big or messy happening in my life, this film would show up miraculously and make me have faith that everything's gonna be alright. Such things have happened on more occasions than I can count. Now, I'm not a huge believer or anything but this is beyond my powers of reasoning.

Anyway, what I'm trying to emphasise here is that I believe each one of you out there has something that is Your One Thing. It may be a movie, a song, a place you visit, a person you meet, a food you eat, anything. You most definitely have that One Thing that makes you believe that everything is going to be alright with the world. No matter how hard it gets, That something makes you believe that You Can Get Through This.

So hold on to that. Doesn't matter how silly you think it may be; Trust me! It's not. You gotta do what helps you makes sense of this crazy world and live this roller coaster of a life. Because that one breath you release when you do The One Thing is worth a million.

    Tamrina, your believe is too strong, and it's going to be okay with the passage ot time. The movie you named is full of energy, if you believe so..

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...
