Here now!

Some days am pretty enthusiastic (period) and some other days I feel like I am in a new shit! I get into this notion quite often “man! this can be done and that” and then when nothing is done am like, nothing’s gonna happen like this for sure. It’s some pretty pity stage some days and some other days, it doesn’t matter at all.

I doubt on my expressions some days! This passing thought pauses me around. And I wish! I wish good things to come to me and us and everyone.


Metta !

Thoughts on a Monday!

Maybe some days you just want to be heard and or have a talk. A talk that you thing is so important that it would change the world for you. Or just pave the path to changing the world or just make you think “oh! An interesting way of thinking” or just something that’s a lot worth to you. And you want to have deep conversations about it. And you expect others to listen to you the same way. And if you don’t find the same kind of enthusiasm from others that makes you frustrated or you are just so tired that all you can show off is frustration and that’s it.

Maybe I have been spoilt being around some of those my people who listened to me, who did think I made sense and who gave me insights on my thoughts. And I guess I miss that! 

I miss that a lot. 

Metta!!

जीवन, कथाबाट कथासम्म


जीवन,

कथाबाट कथासम्म। 

भन्नु धेरै भन्न नसकिने धेरै 

सोच धेरै सपना धेरै 

इनिहरु कै बिचमा बाँच्दै गर्दा को जीवन 

कथाबाट कथासम्म 



हिजो मात्रै थियो सबै जना मिलि हासी खुसि समय बिताएको , अनि आज वहाँ हुनु हुदैन।  सपना जस्तै बिलिन हुनु भयो।  बाकि छ त केवल कथा हरु।  ति धेरै कथा हरु मध्येको एउटा कथा म सानो हुँदाको -

६/७ वर्ष कि थिए हुला म आमा बिरामी भएको हुँदा। त्यो कमुलो मनमा खै कहाँबाट यस्तो आएछ कि आमालाई केहि भए म नि बाच्ने छैन यो संसारमा। आमा बिना केहि छैन यो जीवनमा।  बस् वहाँ हुनु पर्यो अथवा जीवन केहि छैन।  वहालाई सन्चो भयो अनि जीवन पहिले जसरि बढ्दै गयो।  विभिन्न आरोह अवरोह र थप कथाहरु।  यिनी कथाहरु बुन्दा बुन्दै सकियो हाम्रो हजुरआमा को कथा। यो पालि त्यो सानी कन्चनले सोचेको जस्तो यो ठुली कन्चन जान सकिन वहाँ संग, न जान सकी वहाँको छेउमा नै। 

45 days of her departure. Of many things there came a time when we wished she got better and not suffer. And that was the time for the first time in life I realized that in life there comes a time when "not suffer" means "not live" i.e. "leave the life". Such a weird feeling. Such a weird experience. And from far all I could do was look at things helplessly. Cry out aloud or in silence. Only to find my sisters and mom comforting from far. Letting me be there. Be in the last rituals. Ankit giving me that space of mine and comforting and Aarvik crying with me. Times were sad. Times are sad. But we live. That was that. अनि यो कथा सकियो।  र पछाडी छोडी दियो बाकि कथा। अनि नया कथा बुन्ने साहस र धैर्यता।

जीवन,

यो कथाबाट त्यो कथासम्म

Today !

 Not very new says. Not much fancy stories. Just some tiredness and a mind full of thoughts.

Metta!

Of (lack of) motivations and healthy life (to be continued)!

I (mostly) think I should adapt to healthy body options for a healthy lifestyle or vice versa. (Do I need to make sense here? Or be politically correct? Or anything? Maybe!! Maybe not!! Bleh!!) But somewhere the enthusiasm looses and I am left with body aches and I can’t even walk properly. Just wondering is it because I have gained a lot of weight (I was 78 kg a month back, I should have gained more as I have no control over eating + FYI I have not shed any weight post pregnancy. Or maybe I haven’t ATTEMPTED enough to loose any WEIGHT!) or is an indication of a very unhealthy lifestyle. Am I not knowing even though “I feel” I know, or is something missing in between? I have to figure out. And I hope I ACT while figuring OUT.

Noting these thoughts down so that I am more accountable. Or I wish I be more accountable. For its always known “A healthy life is a must.” Yet so less done 😓!

13 days!

Aama’s 13th day and maybe I am just too full of emotions. It’s been hard to juggle with thoughts. Maybe I should have let the thoughts rest. They needed a break! A long long break. And it would have helped me to not make any view or any say or anything !! Just been a lot to handle!!

Metta!!

Meditations of life!

This week was mostly about knowing my meditations. It was amazing to realise things as meditations.

Working in laboratory 
Recently I started working in the Seed lab. The first day I cut the seeds as such that it’s cut just above the embryo, so that it gives results via tetrazolium test. A decade back, working in lab was a course requirement or a chore that had to be done.  Some days fun place to be with friends. Some days frustrating to handle in exams. This time I felt it was meditative. That concentration just to do things the right way. The lab environment: rustling of glasses, people whispering, talks about tests/results and focus. All focus on your work. What a meditative way of doing things !!

Cooking
The time and dedication and working on details from chopping to cooking. How I long for perfectionism while cooking! And how I tell A that this thing has to be like this or that, using mustard oil or vegetable oil or butter, not using “methi” instead of “jeera” and vice versa, chop a certain way, fry till certain time, and thus finish cooking like साधना । Such a processed meditative practice that gives eternal joy.

Gardening 
I have loved gardening since my childhood where I would like to play with mud, drench it with water and play around with plants. It has given me a joyful childhood and I have loved having plants since throughout. So here in Corvallis when we started gardening again and now as we harvest the bearing fruits and flowers, I look back at the journey And how meditative it had been.

Reading/Writing
Needles to say about these two branches which is as therapeutic and as meditative as it could be. I think my marathon writing is just being a part of it today. So pleasurable that not even I feel like sleeping at 6 AM this morning.

With age maybe I have been better at creating jargon :-) or I have just known to express what I feel. More to know! More to feel. More to say!

Until then!!

Metta!


"She" my friend- (My everything)!!

Isn't it weird that some days I fear what if something happens to me and I would not have expressed (adequately) what you mean to me? I would not have expressed my feelings enough. And puff I go!!

I fear dear. I fear bad! 

Know that, I have always loved you the most. I have always tried the best whatever I can do in all possible ways. Just that I have not known enough of doing things. That I didn't know how things work. I didn't know how I could make it work. They never listened to me. And things were never in my hands. And I regret it every time. I know that have caused you pain. And the easiest of thing just got harder for you, because I couldn't do anything and they didn't listen to me. They didn't even listen to me when I pleaded them for a scholarship, and they didn't write it for me. They never did. And I was devoid of those opportunities. They never listened to me. (I wonder how I survived that)! They always created jargon to complicate things for me. They devoid me of so many things and I could just sulk. They didn't even let me allow my friend's ease. And I sulked more. And all I can feel is pain. Write in pain, shed a few drops and bid a bye to this page of life not to turn it over again.

Just that, I am/will be there for you. Always and forever. I just wish I could open my heart or cry this out at my loudest. I wish I could have said it the loudest then. I wish I wouldn't have let the pain enter in you because of me. I wish!

You are a precious jewel of my life. A sacred one. I wish all the happiness for you my friend. Always and forever!

Love!

Metta!!

Incomplete verses !

Day 6 ends. Day 7 starts
Its 00:53 AM

****************

Like always there’s swarm of thoughts inside. I actually don’t know if I want to express it or not. But right now am forcing myself too. Maybe it will just liberate me is what I feel. 

****************

I want to let everyone know about Aama. Both Aama and Buwa have been so imbibed in my surrounding being that I have not seen them as separate someone and maybe I have not talked enough about them or maybe that habit of mine of not talking about my personal life much apart from my core circle has inhibited the talks.

****************

Thoughts are running in bits and pieces around me. I miss Aama. I am sleepless. I am finding peace in podcasts (mostly religious) and bhajans. During my pregnancy I used to be sleepless and the Sadhguru podcasts were my sleep helper. I listened to sadhguru a good good deal and I seem to be done with Sadhguru for some more years from then I guess. Right now “Achutyam Keshavam Krishna Damodaram” is my favorite bhajan for a few days. I like the lines and the music.

*****************

I love you Aama. And I miss you. In every bhajan I listen to I hear your dedication of trying learning new verses or chanting with all that music. Your zeal for everything and your being as a whole. We have been blessed to have you in our lives. 

****************

There’s so much more about you. An incomplete verse, I close herein.

(It’s 1: 18 AM)

Metta!

Aama (Where are you?)

Like Aarvik asks “Where are you?” And we repeat, “here I am, here I am. How do you do?” I wish Aama said the same and just came therein. But even after having called her for the umpteenth time, she didn’t respond. Not even on the fourth day.

***********

There’s a vacuum inside me. My mind seems numb. I am sleepless. It’s already 6 AM and my eyes are wide open. In days when my status is vacuum, my mind rambles. For today, it is just numb. I have been trying hard distracting my mind, but nothing seems helping. Nothing at all. Suddenly I feel like crying or suddenly I feel exhausted as it gets unbearable. I can’t express this exhaustion. It comes through so many emotions. 

**************

I sang the adieu song to her that night. And I could do nothing new. I love you Aama. And I have loved you always. And I had felt we will meet again. Alas! We couldn’t. 

Until we meet again.

Metta!!

Of the worldly affairs!

Everyone around me is kind of hypocrite and I detest this feeling that I can't even express that "hey! you are the number one hypocrite and are the one romanticizing your hypocrisy." Duh!! I detest this feeling. I do yet I just jot them down, frown over it, sulk and get going. Maybe this is how life goes.

Metta!

The approached time!

The fears exist for a long time before they approach. And when they approach, *puff* the emotions evade themselves. They know how to be stronger each time. And they have grown stronger with time. They are resilient as a part of me. Some days I wonder who got better with time-THEM or ME or US !

Metta!
