last night, saw the HAL news and thought, "are you kidding me?" my investment plans were in a literal tailspin. now my dreams of a destination wedding just turned into my new normal of having maggi for every meal. yaar, matlab samjho na, hal toh udaas kiya hai, but here I am, single and desperately learning how to bake bread—because, well, that’s the next best skill for impressing anyone when you'...
sometimes i wonder if my life is a performance piece, where i fake having it together while simultaneously stretching the last few dollars in my pocket to its breaking point—like when you spend the whole week pretending you aren’t eating instant noodles just so the cute barista thinks you’re above ramen and that you have hobbies, but really you are just contemplating selling old concert tickets on...
yaar, kal mera dost engagement post karta hai aur main ab tak soch rahi thi ke main usse bhool gayi hoon, par sach yeh hai ke jab bhi unki khushiyaan dikh rahi hoti hain, tab mere dil mein bas ek hi khayal aata hai - kyun main ab bhi apne kaam se itni struggle kar rahi hoon? sab logon ne toh apne sapne haqiqat mein badal diye hain, ghar, car aur mein toh roz basic cheezon ke liye struggle karti hoon. unka success dekh kar lagta hai sabne jeene ka formula discover kar liya hai, aur mere paas toh bas ghabrahat aur comparison hai.
