i wish..

i wish
i could live my life without any strings

i wish
there were no attachments or boundaries to adhere to

i wish
i was born to travel

i wish
i could be like the wind

i wish
i could fly and be free

i wish
we were all not puppets

i wish
there were no disciplines to follow

i wish.

Long distance relationship

A Long distance relationship is successful only to people who are self content.

Parents and children

I was watching an interview which featured Javed Akhthar and Shabana Azmi on Zoom. And Javed Akhthar said a beautiful quote, which is stuck in my head. "Maa-baap kamaan ki tarah hote hai aur bachche teer ki tarah. Jab tak kamaan teer ko chodta nahi hai, teer apne nishaane pe lagta nahi hai".

So simply said, but great depth.

A lot of families i see don't want to let go of their children, even when their children are actually adults, office-going and worst even married. Parents think that their child is living their unfulfilled dream and hence want to give them everything that they didnt receive in their childhood- shower them with love, pamper them with things, educate them in a best possible way. i don't blame them for their behavior, but they need to realize that their children are not children anymore. a different point of view or an independent step is not betrayal of emotions.

The best about life

The best thing about life is that you never know what would have happened if you had taken a different route.
