I saw my own eyes. Not in a reflection, But through yours. I wished for you to see yours Through mine. Conversations must be had.

 I celebrated my 40th birthday today. It was nice to have some close friends around! I am thankful for being alive.  I see how insignificant I am, in this vast universe. Im not above anyone or below anyone. Just a flawed human trying to live like everyone else. 

I went back to the gym today after many days since Christmas and had a proper workout! It felt good to hurt my spine again. My mobility is getting worse by the day, so I spent a lot of time stretching. I know it will get worse over time, so I decided to achieve a few things this year. I’ll note them down here for accountability and compare them with my post at the end of the year. My Music Album I want to release an album this year. I’ve already started working on it. I’m composing violin parts for Martin to play on it. I need inspiration for lyrics, and my muse is nowhere to be found! But I’ll stick to it regardless. More Guitar Playing I am going to spend a lot of time playing the guitar this year! I have a few songs in mind to learn and play. These are difficult. I’ll also get into reading classical music. I could use some new songs to teach, especially with my students catching up with me. Diet and Workout I’m going to be serious about my diet and workout to maintain my posture and...

There she was, my crush, watering her plants on her balcony. Her plants didn’t just thrive, they flourished. She must have a green thumb! My admiration for her grew. She was a morning person, starting her day with a warm cup of coffee, sipping it as she sat on her sofa. I would glance at her from my terrace through her balcony door while watering my plants. Then, she’d disappear to do her chores. ———————————— I wanted someone just like her. I sighed when she noticed me and waved. I waved back, captivated. She had a divine aura about her, almost like Goddess Lakshmi, whose stories I’d heard from my grandmother. Everything around me faded into the background, broken only by her voice. “Had breakfast?” she called out. I gave her a thumbs-up. “Yeah. You?” She nodded in response. I loitered around my terrace, pretending to work, picking at dry leaves, while she hung her clothes to dry. ———————————— The doorbell rang. There she was, breathtaking. A gust of wind blew her hair, filmi style, in...

I am in a race with Time! He is a worthy rival. We know there’s no defeating one another; We’ll keep competing. I fight him with workouts, Haircuts, skin treatments, and sleep. But he’s always catching up; “That’s one tenacious foe.” This rat race must end. I have nothing to lose, Nothing to win. The finish line is where I drop dead.

Two happy ducks, just let them be… Monday (Tomorrow) onwards it’s back to work! I had a relaxed two month break of sorts. This year I’m going to spend a lot of time working on my music and lessons.  God’s grace, I have had a lot of enquiries with students even willing to come in at 5:00 am for lessons. I cannot slack anymore sigh!  Today was a fun day, we all caught up at Nikhil and Divya’s place. Had so much fun, we forgot to take pics. I drank some burbon and got so high, and somehow drove back home. 

I went to Nature’s basket to check out some cheese today. I ended up buying some Parmesan and Gouda for ₹1500.  I enjoyed them both. Parmesan was dry and nutty, where as the Gouda slice was flexible and creamy.  I also bought some Korean noodles which was yumm.  What surprised me was the price of butternut squash, which we grow on our terrace garden. It was ₹2499 for one Kg!!
