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?

The Journey Back Home

 The journey back home begins with a sigh of fulfillment followed by a thought of determination. Armed with the metro card which brings me immense convenience, I walk briskly and quickly from the college to the metro station, eager to reach the comfort of my home, to my lovely mother and her delicious and nutritious food, to my cute dog which demands pets, to my  bed which seems to call me with great appeal.  Although the destination is fated and the end always provides huge relief, it is not without obstacles and temptations. The surroundings also provide amusement.  Ignoring the appetising aroma of the bhel puri, momo, and ice cream and refusing to join in with the crowds relishing in their taste, I walk further to climb the stairs in a little effort to maintain my fitness. Quickly taking my bottle out of my bag before putting it through the security scan, and getting scanned myself, I head upstairs, wondering whether the sound of the metro is the one I have to sit...

Slam Book

 6-year-old me enters a book shop, mesmerised. Surrounded by book shelves filled with the things I love, I quickly ran up to one that interested me. It said Slam Book at the top, whatever that meant. It was filled with different questions. How interesting! You could answer the whole book filled with different questions on every page, and it could be like an encyclopaedia about you! Or so my self centered brain thought. Turns out, it's just the same questions repeated again and again, and  other  people are supposed to fill it, like your classmates when you're leaving school so that you can look back on the MeMoRIeS later on. My disappointment was immeasurable and my day was ruined. Four years pass. I get an idea. Why not fill a slam book, but you answer the questions intended for each person yourself, with a regular gap in time between them, so that you can see how you change over time? Like a diary for lazy people. I followed through. Wrote every month. But only two time...

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...
