Time capsule

The other day, my friend and I started to converse about what it would be like to come across some impossible situations. First, it was meeting the male version of yourself. How many things would be different just because of your gender? Then, it was meeting the version of you half your current age, creating a paradox, unless my memory was wiped after I met teenage me when I was seven. Then, we discussed meeting you double your current age..we started imagining the questions we'd ask, when I realised that these were good questions to put in a time capsule. There is no such thing as permanent as the internet, and a paper or notebook is likely to get lost. So, 28-year-old me, these are some questions for you:

What job do I have?

Do I still have long hair?

How tall am I?

Any pets?

Am I married or have kids? If so, what the heck, future Saumya?

How many of my current friends do I still have?

How many of the current fandoms are you still in?

How many of the people I had a squishy on did I actually end up becoming friends with?

Where do I live?

What is the weather?

Who is/are your best friend(s)? Have I met any of them yet?

What is your greatest accomplishment?

How much did you get in your boards?lol

Current favourite colour and song?

Pets

 I think almost everyone has had pets in their entire life at least once. It is 2012, I am six years old. We saw a lone parrot outside near our house, looking nervous and afraid. We were afraid a cat may attack him, since there was an abundance of them in the area we lived in. Naturally, we decided to adopt him. He was fully grown, and it was obvious that someone else had previously owned him, since he frequently said "roti de do" meaning " give me roti." We bought a cage that was big enough for him, and even let him out once in a while. We called him Mithhu Miya. He used to start squaking at around 9 am in the morning, much to our annoyance. He later passed away.  It is 2017. An elderly lady we know just called my mother requesting us to adopt two bunnies. We did some research about them, and decided to adopt them too. She told us that they were female. Uh, well, turns out, one of them was a male. The female, named Innie, later gave birth to five bunnies. There was...

I look back to when I was eight

I look back and I go to when I was eight I used to look up to my seniors and think they were great They were so hard working, had it all figured out But now I'm that age and I'm just filled with doubt When I was younger everything used to be black and white But now everything is jut hues of grey Everyone seems to think that my future is bright And I don't know what to say I finally understand how quickly time flies I feel so lost, don't know what to do in life Everyone else seems to have it all figured out And I am the only one who is left out But I realized now that it is not all bad In the end, everything is gonna be all right As long as I stay happy and keep working hard What everyone else thinks will lose its might And I will only live for myself Be content with what I have After all, when everyone else has left I will be all that I have

Babaji

 In this post I'm going to recount a few fond memories with my paternal grandfather, Babaji. Most of these are of the time when he used to pick me up from school for a few months in fourth grade. He used to pick me up from the front field of our school and we walked back to the car, often holding hands. I often found a small stone to kick along the way. In the car, there would be always waiting for me a pillow and a bottle of cold water. It felt no less than luxury. He asked me eagerly what I learned in school. I remember one time I told him I had learned a new word- unique. He asked me what it's meaning was and I said different. But that's not an exact synonym, and he explained the nuance in the different meaning of the two words. I remember, earlier he had explained to me the same way how the Hindi words बाल and केश differed from each other. Since he used to pick me up from the field, where a lot of my classmates were waiting to be picked up too, I often asked them how ol...
