Bro, don’t lose her. ~ Musicpervs.

Few housekeeping from last week:

I was close to losing a ‘Memento Mori’ medallion. In fact I had already given up the hope of finding it but as it turns out it found me. Again!

I almost passed out at my workplace. Reason: unknown. Prospective suspects: Might be because of exhaustion. Might be the stress. Might be because of poor eating habits. Might be because of lack of sleep.

New book on my wishlist: The Beginning of Infinity by David Deutsch.

Looping podcast:

• Finding happiness amid the ordinary collisions of life. Link here.
• Robert Greene on How Lack of Emotional Control Will Ruin You | Conversations with To‪m. Link here.

Books I’m reading:

Apparently shuffling between 12 Rules of Life by Jordan B Peterson. The obstacle is the way by Ryan Holiday and Atomic Habits by James Clear.

Heart melting and thought provoking web-series ( that I’m currently watching with my girlfriend):

Please find attached. Link here.

Favorite quote for the week:

Neil Strauss, “When cleaning a room, it often gets messy before it gets orderly. The same is often true for cleaning your mind. So be patient and persevere with your own journey. “The only way out is through”.

Question I’m pondering over:

What do I actually want?

---

I’ve admitted this for I can’t recall how many times but for sure — she’s my Her — that I had forever been searching for.

No lies. She makes me feel like I’m the start and I’m the end of her. 

No lies: It’s all about, all the love and all the feels and all these ephemeral precious moments we expend together.

I only wish I can reciprocate a fraction of what she does for me.

For, she has never failed to amaze me with her pure love and grace. 

For, she has always been there for me even when I’m not with myself.

Hands-down. She is my Her.

She’s my prayer.

Namaste.

She confronts, she wants to die only after I pass away because I’m a mess without her. Rightly so!

I can’t imagine a day of my life without her.

I couldn’t be more happy we had that piece of conversation among many others things. Over texts though!

But, I hope this genuine feeling we have in our hearts means at least something or better yet Everything with capital ‘E’ for both of us — throughout our lives.

Enough!

For our best of times.

In crushing days.

During countless ordinaries we’re to walk together.

I pray!

Mostly, like every other saturday, I went to meet my maternal grandmum.

Part of the reason why I visit her is that she’d confronted it many times that she waits for the weekend to arrive whenin she expects to meet her grandchildren or so-to-say, experience a different flavor of the day than usual.

Question

Why am I writing about this?

Answer

Well, primarily, in hope that perhaps you can too take this 2 minutes post as a reference, plus our bird-eye view of experiences — the bond, a story, warmth and the chill, I and my grandmother share, and use them as it best fits your lifestyle, your time or schedule with your own grandparents if you’ve one! Until you have one!

And, secondly, I’m writing in utter hope that via this post, some of our joy and sense of belonging will brush off on you and perhaps reshape your perception on nurturing both family relationships as well as the inevitable shits!

[su_divider top=”no” style=”dotted” size=”2″ margin=”40″]

Quite sadly, I’ve been to houses where people seemingly value their pets more than they do to their elderly parents. I know it’s none of my business but it forever felt wrong and sad and heartbreaking! Please don’t do that kind of shit at your household!

Instead, I request you to go and speak or at least call them every once in a while without agenda or sense of urgency or need or false desire. Just do it, SELFLESSLY!

It’s a different thing that unlike many old age parents, my grandma is exceptionally outspoken, very open-minded plus that too with a high-quality organic sense of humor. But like most aged parents she’s very very emotional too.

Sometimes as we exchange, she’d cry. Sometimes she’d get upset and won’t speak to anyone. But, for most of the time as we two lay on her bed and gossip with each other about all the random stuffs — I’ve always enjoyed watching her laugh a lot.

Watching people smile truly is an antidepressant!

Meanwhile, it never ceases to amaze me that she always has plenty of hard core life philosophies to chat about. For example, just as I was listening to her this evening, she had broughten up these words for exactly three times during an hour long candid conversation; Words :-

जिन्दगी मा के नै छ र है बाबु, आज छ भोली छैन ।

~ मा

I reckon, aaaah! the purity of emotional wealth on these simple words coming from her time and again and my Awareness?! post which I’d written just this thursday are somehow vertically opposite. Resonating. Compensating. Intersectecting.

To the nutshell, our grandparents need us today, now, not our sympathy after they’ve left.

p.s. Some fascinating flashbacks I cherish with my grand-dy that I’d want to seize with this post for forever

1. her time-and again asking me for a favor to download all old songs into her forever changing flashcards
2. her, saving snacks like cashew nuts, almonds, walnuts, redbull, coconut milk & juices, noodles —— for me.
3. our bike rides together.
4. her ever changing inventories of favorite things to do/ haves.
5. her asking me to never hurt anybody, specially mum.
