Christmas

 "What do you think the best day of your life is?"

" I don't know, it probably hasn't happened yet, and it's going to be pretty exciting."

                                                                                                      - A child on the streets of New York when asked by a reporter, paraphrased by my memory, and laziness to check the actual quote.

I'm pretty sure a few of those days just happened a few days ago. 23rd and 24th December.

Much to my surprise, there was a havan happening for Christmas Puja. I had a Math test the next day. Scared at first, my wisdom got the better of me.

I had been longing to go, like millions of others, to go to a Seminar, International or National Puja, to feel the cool breeze flowing not only throughout your hands and head, but your whole body. Being surrounded by the hospitable environment and Divine Energy. Covid-19, however, had better plans. It is a feeling that only a sahajayogi can understand.

I don't know why, but when I got up after attending the havan, I felt it again. I felt so satisfied, as if Shri Mataji had heard my subconscious prayers.

But that was not the only reason. The next day, tests had finally ended, and winter break was about to start. Christmas was tomorrow.

After attending the havan, I sat in front of the computer to check out all the videos I had missed by my favourite YouTubers. Both were emotional and heartfelt.

The Greatest Title Sequence I've Ever Seen

Jesus x Buddha: The Bromantic Anime | Video Essay

As if the day was not only spectacular, a friend of mine  I long to talk to more often but am not able to texts me.

"Hey.
Guess what.
I'm on the seventh season of Doctor Who."
 
Excitement rushed through my veins as I frantically started typing to 
chat and know more about it. Finally, a whovian friend. Another close friend of mine was also texting me at the same time, and we were talking about Frozen 2, another piece of media I love.
 
Later that night, another friend I am not able to talk as often as I wish I could due to living in different time zones messaged me "OMG is that you?" after finally seeing what I looked like on my Christmas story.

Thank you, Universe.

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

A few fond memories with Mummy.

  I think most of us could write something on this title. However, as I have grown and seen how my peers talk about their mothers, and admire mine, I have realized she is not just my mother, but my best friend. Many a times I have heard classmates talk about how one cannot tell everything to their parents, and I have and silently disagreed. To her love not only for me but for everyone, her hardworking nature, her impeccable cooking skills, and her passion, I have learned and have yet to learn a lot from her. Her oiling and combing my hair almost everyday, and her telling me which clothes to wear as I have negative amount of fashion sense. I got awesome hand me downs from her,  I like to wear them. I find it very beautiful and quaint that I'm wearing clothes that she did when she was younger, and almost every time she says, "I can't believe that used to fit me?" I could go on and on about her cooking, I am not joking when I say that the food she cooks is better than th...
