The Sunday Scroll #23
Hi all,
The Winters decided to do a come back and Sun went on a holiday and meanwhile Sunshine is playing hide and seek with us. Apart from this not-so-happening weather update about which everyone is already aware of and upset about (well mostly). I feel like saying, “Dear Winter, Please go, your time is up! Let’s have some change.” This irregular and sudden rains, precisely on weekends, have washed all the plans and the Delhi Darshan have met an abrupt halt. The festival of colors went by silently and I hope that it brought colors to the life of people who really needed them. Though we did defy Mr. Weather and visited Spring Fest Food Festival and among all things I enjoyed, I had my favourite Belgian Chocolate! <3 Nothing can be better that this to make you happy instantly! 😀
Well,It’s been hard to keep those not-so-good feelings at bay with sunshine not in sight. You know what I mean, don’t you. You have always read between lines. You know these times come by and you just don’t feel like doing anything. Even your passion doesn’t lure you. Happens no? And the most irritating thing is that you just can’t put the finger on the reason on it. It’s been quite a time since it’s been happening. I keep moving in and out of that zone like a pendulum. I feel something’s is wrong one moment and the next moment is beautiful again. Sometimes I am lost in memories and the other time I am stealing Life’s moments to create new ones.
I guess this is what life is made of. Life offers you lemons when you are expecting chocolates. But it doesn’t matter if you have people around you that can help you make lemonade out of those lemons. I am grateful that these people stay by me even if I shout at them. They pull me out even if I hide inside my shell. They give me company even if I want to walk alone. But still you just want to be aloof. Just you and your time!! Just you!!
This is when I was chatting with a friend of mine. She sensed something wasn’t alright. And then she reminded what I had forgotten. She reminded that we, writers are at an advantage from rest of the world. I asked her what it was. She said, “Our friendship with words!”
How true it was! I had totally forgotten that how loyal these words have been to me. No matter what happened, they have been always been my side in the darkest of my moments. They have been there when I cut myself off from rest of the world. They have been the sole listener throughout. So I decided to meet them, and I realized that I wasn’t avoiding them but myself.
Do you feel this way at times, when you just want to be with yourself? When it feels like the world has decided to keep you away? Do share!
Until Next Sunday,
Keep Smiling!
I guess we’ve all been there at some point. And at the end of the day, as ‘wordsmiths’, as the once famous Boyzone song goes, “…and words are all we have …..” 🙂
P.S. don’t ask about the Boyzone thing. The 90s were weird
Yes, I guess this is what Life is.
P.S.: I love that song!! <3 <3
We all feel the same at some point or the other. I am so glad that I found the company of words. It is such a relief isn’t it? Life goes on but we stop somewhere along and these words, they help us catch up with the rest. 🙂
perfectly said Vinitha. If these words weren’t there, We would have lost ourselves ages ago!
Yes, It has been an extented winter, with rains and sun playing hide and seek. Most of the days spent indoors .For a change the children were at home .Had a jolly weekend.
Yah, rains literally forced us to stay at home and have a family weekend! 🙂
Yes, I am sure we are all in this zone at some point. However, my books are my best friends during this time. I never really have felt the need to abandon them. Your post actually did remind me of the very same boyzone song that Sid wrote about 🙂
That’s a wonderful he reminded me of. Yes books too open another door when we want to escape reality!
Words. The true friends. I sometimes wonder what would have been the scene if we didn’t have words to accompany us in all situations. Can’t even imagine it. And yes the untimely rains are actually spoiling all the weekends.
Exactly, world would have been a lonely place without these words to give us company!
You know I love words, right? 😉
Absolutely! There’s no doubt about it 🙂
My husband cuts himself off from the whole world when he is a bit upset but I tend to seek company when I’m upset…It happens we are all different and the best thing is people who stay with us in our silence are the ones we should never let go of…
Ah! I have a friend who does that and it’s quite annoying that you can’t do anything to help them out of it. Well I am on your team, though I don’t want to speak to anyone but I would love it if anyone came around by themselves! 🙂
