242 days That’s 7 months and 30 days Well you can call it a rush, stress, full of delightful moments, got vaccinated! they called it a moment of self-care and resilience The honest days and nights of listening to Jazz music and Gospel vocals with blues have helped days move soother into the afternoons. The sultry, the rainy, cloudy, cold mornings, afternoons and evenings, long walks, jogs, and sprints getting a little of fresh air as possible being at home for so long was restful indeed. Bangalore 31/08/2021 I am sure you have goals accomplished! The feeling of having a goal achieved hits differently. The city sleeps into the night and a few minutes August fades into history. Although its been a noisy seven months and 30 days. 242 Days of the New Year 2021 felt like a rush with so many memories created. The news cycle saw its twists and turns around the world. Well if you are reading this blog I am happy that you are safe from all the violence and insecurity the situation created for you. The past sixty days and counting to the next 60 days into October with joy, happiness and a new set of goals to reach beyond the sultry afternoons, rainy evenings and cold dreamy sunrises we see here in Bangalore with the touch of music in the air. Well although at the end of eight months the city here in this part of the world has tried to scream normal all its way since the beginning of this new year. People shouting in their inner minds that the Pandemic has come to its end. Seeing its course. Some call that the end is not in sight but precautionary measures are to be continued. Well if you are wearing a mask stuck to your face and walking around the city like me, I am sure you too have been smiling along the roads, reacting to situations, having the facial expressions covered only the eyes are left to reflect what he or she tries to explain out in sighs and frustrations of the everyday commuters who swiftly walk beside you not knowing what and how to react, greet another. Hey, a smile would help brighten someone’s day, A nod A thumbs up and a good cheer into the morning fading into the afternoon with a cool breeze as the scorching heat in bliss turns to wavy evenings with the traffic and the noise levels backs I can’t hear the birds chirping, well normalcy trying to hit back into our lives. Awaiting to get up from all this that is creating havoc in the world, The new normal has brought the world closer. Well, let’s look forward together for the next 122 days and see what the world sings of new songs and diplomacies in the air trying to save relationships, broken friendships, work stress, and boredom. Creating for ourselves subtle afternoon memories sitting by the window reading the Daily newspaper calling this yet again another page in History which will be spoken of that this too passed with the feeling of resilience and fresh new beginnings awaiting to all the dreamers out there, dreaming of a tomorrow creating a picture memory, recreating pictures that passed. Magic in the air, self-belief, confidence, happiness going forward into the four months of this year! Well, I am excited to see how the days turns their tune from bright gloomy mornings to cold and rainy evenings. #2021 #September #You’reBeautiful
