Somewhere in between lost and found...

Here we are in the last week of the year…and these two questions are the harbinger of the approaching New Year. The questions “So, what are your new year celebration plans?” and “What is your new year resolution?” are driving each one of us crazy. And these are the cruellest questions you can ask a person, who doesn’t have any plans or resolutions and making him/her feel worse. Well, what is the whole fuss about this New Year celebration? Usually, everybody does one of these 3 conventional things on a New Year’s Eve: 1.  Go out with friends. 2.    Go out with family or have a cozy family dinner/ get- together. 3.  . Sit alone and sulk why didn’t I do any of the above 2 things (which I have been doing for the entire year already). So why make plans? Just go out there and do what comes your way spontaneously! Watch a movie, read a book, call a friend you haven’t talked with for ages, go surprise your family…these are of course the ideas that I read online...

With my Christmas fever soaring down, I could stop myself from thinking about this incident, so I finally decided to write about it. Visiting a happy place which is completely Christmasy, was indeed a delight! With friends, food, and fun…overall my Christmas was exciting! The enthusiastic streets full of balloons and tiaras, the scintillating people all adorning it…I could not resist myself from buying a balloon!

Walking a few meters from there, came a little girl in trashed clothes and with a puppy face asked me if she could have that balloon. As much as I wanted it, I also wanted her to have it …and without a second’s delay I gave it to her. My friends thought that it was indeed stupid of me to give away her the balloon since she will be selling it somewhere again! They made complete sense but my heart didn’t want to believe it. And it happened exactly as th...

Reached the home, hungry and weary. Ravenous stomach was shouting for some curry. Online food delivery, would have been the wisest choice. "But go on that culinary adventure!!", said the inner voice. Should I go first for something tangy and spicy? Or eat the damn cake, I was really dicey. Desserts are to be savored last is just a cliché . Life is uncertain, eat your dessert first they say! Sandwiches, chicken rolls and tasty fries... Pizzas and donuts and creamy pies. This hunger drove me into complete hogging. I would really have to compensate, with an extra round of jogging. Stomach was full, and so was the brain. And it was time to take a nap again! Who needs pen and paper, when you got fork and knife. It is all about making a piquant bit of life!
