If I could write a note to my younger self. This is what it would be.

Dear Anpu,
Don't say yes when you want to say no. Don't follow the crowd. Elders might scold you but it will make perfect sense as to why they said NO to you for certain things as years pass by . You don't need to look like a celebrity to be beautiful. Just be yourself and the world will love you. Write more. Read more. Start a blog. Don't let your talents rot. Improve them. Do not give up so fast. You will not find happiness in possessions. Happiness lies in the simple things of life which you are taking for granted. Make memories. Wear those fluorescent colours. Even when you are stressed don't forget to smile. Remember that 'The rain will always be followed by the rainbow'. When you are worried ask yourself this question "Will this matter ten years from now?". Always Be humble. Don't be naive. Don't trust anyone ( not even your friends) but only trust god. Pray often not only when you want to get something done.
With love
Your
Older self

Lost in Two Dimensions

We gaze at screens, day and night, A world so flat, yet shining bright. Pixels dance, but can’t replace, The warmth of touch, a loved one’s face. No scent of earth, no ocean's breeze, No velvet grass beneath our knees. No taste of rain, no fire’s glow, Just silent echoes, a hollow show. Are we alive, or just a view? A life so crisp, yet missing hue. Step outside, let senses soar, Feel, breathe, taste—be whole once more. # unLearn

To my Dearest Grandmother....

Cultivating habits like writing a dairy is not a cake walk anymore. Atleast not in this generation where we are all drowning in the ocean of technology. Infact Ayamachi once asked me “ Mole! Ee Phone il entha ullathu? Ellavarum ithu epozhum enthina pidichu kondu nadakunnathu? . Those words hit deep and I realised we are giving more importance to this nonliving man made thing than anything else. Are we carrying the Bible the same way everywhere we go? While we jot down our “To Do Lists” Ayammachi has it memorised. There used to be a time when landphones existed in every house and when she memorised the telephone numbers of her near and dear ones. How many phone numbers can we tell by heart? She also has a “Kanaku Pusthakam” where she writes her daily expenses and calculations. She also ...
