Different Saumyas

Couldn't post last week, hence two posts.

BTS, in their song Idol, have explored the idea of one person's being being constituted by many people. That is, one person having many different aspects to them, having three dimensional personalities, rather than just being the person we know them as. A human being consists of many people, all masquerading as one person.

This was particularly note-worthy to me since I always used to make, or divide, different versions of me to make different characters in playing pretend when I was younger. So, here are some of them.

Cute Saumya

Naive and innocent, this version of me seems to be the most common perception of me. She has no ulterior motives, and is always curious like a child. 

Intellectual Saumya

Oh Jeez I need this person to come back in my life more often now. Diligent and hardworking, she is always very keen on trying her best. She is what gets me my grades.

Edgy Saumya

This version of me was born when I joined my school van. Surrounded by people likewise, Saumya is good at snarky, quick comebacks that don't go too far.

Imaginative Saumya

This version of me which should have disappeared as I got older, but fortunately/unfortunately (you decide) didn't, can weave entirely new stories out of novels, movies, stories, or even a picture or a sentence. She is mostly invisible to the outside world.It's fun to meet her sometimes.

Panicky Saumya

Ah yes, the version of me that comes out every time I have to interact with a new person, or deal with a new situation. This person is despised, but is also needed sometimes, so that I can realize the value of calmness and the gravity of a situation.

Upset Saumya

Another version of Saumya that should have gone as I got older, this Saumya comes out when, well, I am upset. The answer to everything is "no" or some variation. The most useless version of me so far, is still a bit useful, so that I know the value of happiness.

Fun Saumya

The most favourite version of me, this person is happy, kind, fun-loving(obviously), outdoorsy and dare I say, athletic. The times when she is there are the most memorable and nostalgic.

So there they are, different versions of me. All of you know me strangely well now.

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...

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...

..Oops

 Sorry for not posting for so long. Still have no idea what I'm going to post..so here's a short update of my life. There is a beautiful  Sahajayoga qawwali video coming up, Diwali was epic as usual, new BTS album, and related zoom party with a fan friend is coming up, Enola Holmes is a freaking amazing movie,(They made Sherlock likeable?) and my plans to study during the Diwali holidays were sabotaged by the common cold. Not  the other virus, btw. Also, Isabella is getting naughtier day by day? What did I ever do to her? Did she really had to take after her mother, and not the more well behaved Fluffy? Cutie is going out more these days..guess that's compensation for the couch potato (blanket potato?) phase she had earlier.. This turned into a more ramble of my thoughts rather than an update of my life, but I guess that's more entertaining.. In the end, of this blog post which I guess suddenly turned into a speech? I would like to say that if you're going outside, ...
