Scribbling Soul

Do you still remember the cassettes? Reel enrolling round its breadth with the two holes acting as wheels for the reel, for someday someone to roll in a pencil inside for the tape to work. And the Walkman, proudly playing in the cassettes, with the sole purpose of soothing people with its melody. When video games of Super Mario and his brother, Leo rescuing the princess from their super worlds was one of a craze. When the Powerpuff girls delineated girl power and Tom & Jerry cherished selfless strings of friendship. When TV shows like Shaktiman depicted the power hidden in simplicity with such a beautiful and appreciable grace. When evenings witnessed conversations, giggles and meetups and not closed doors with respective personal cell phones and private conversations hand in hand.                  When emotions weren't faked behind the screens and filters weren't needed to wash down the flaws, cause imperfections were welcomed and ...

Have you ever known of the term Priority? Have you ever got heard of it? Obviously, you would have if you are all your ears and not blind in misconceptions in your relationships and hence life. A busy life schedule, hectic working hours often raises terminologies like 'Priority.'                 But the truth has nothing to relate to it.

Any relationship no matter if it’s a long distance relationship, should be bloomed hand in hand, step by step. To be more precise, whatever your current relationship status is, you need to put in efforts for it to be a perfect relationship. People could never be moulded into perfectionism but relationships could be. Phones, social media, 24*7 access to the internet and busy life schedules have dampened the sparks of our relationships in some way or the other.                 For your relationship to bloom and sparkle like it did when it started, start giving it the kind of importance you used to give when it all started.

Why there are fights over a piece of land when everyday India shakes hand with Pakistan during the Grand Parade at Wagha? Why there are differences between the respect for the flag of each other's nation when the tricolour and the green salute each other every day they flutter elegantly on the border?

A Photo Frame! A photo frame that does not exist. We never got photographed together, lucky enough for me to have nothing to clutch upon and weep for hours at night.
