I miss those reading days..

-

I miss the days when I cud afford to spend more tym than now… just diving into books.Back then, reading wasn’t just a pass tym,it was a whole vibe.A quiet escape. And honestly,my Delhi roots always knew how to pull me back to that space.#Reading. I always felt a bit apart frm the crowd,carryin this quiet elegance for readin.I tried different genres just to explore,bt..bt my heart always leaned toward d classics. That pull…tymless.I really miss those carefree days of walking down to #KhanMarket,heading straight to my one n only literary treasure trove,#FaqirChand.The shelves,the silence,the scent of stories waitin to b lived… #nostalgia hitting beyond words.It’s nt that I don’t have good titles around me now…I do. Bt this packed,tiring schedule drains out d reader in me before I even touch a page....sigh!Somewhere inside, I’m still dat same reader.Just caught in a life that’s too fast to pause.....

Each day, my morning starts with it,sometimes in a glass, sometimes whirled into a smoothie wid strawberries,or whatever little joy I find in my fridge.That creamy blend? It’s more than breakfast. It’s comfort. It’s care. It’s a kind of memory stitched into taste. And somewhere in dat quiet, before d world wakes up properly,I think of Afghanistan.❤️ I wasn’t raised there,bt it runs in my veins, in my name, in d lullabies once hummed by women who waited at window.There’s this longing…nt loud, not tearful,bt consconstan A wish to walk d valleys of Bamyan one day.To see hw d sun climbs its mountains n hides behind them at dusk....To hear water giggle in its brooks, see d wind play wid wheat fields, feel d dust un...

 Today’s moot court…damn,it was somethin else.I walked in,heart poundin,papers in hand,mind buzzin wid arguments I hd rehearsed a thousand tyms,yet d nerves didn’t care.I was d appallin one,d one hu cud trip ovr words or freeze mid-sentence,bt somehow,today,d universe decided to surprise me.

N in d end…I won.Me...D one who’d doubted herself,d one hu’d feared lookin foolish.I won. N d rush,d thrill,d disbelief,it all hit me at once.Nvr d thought I’d be slippin into d boots of a lawyer,feelin dis strange, exhilaratin power of conviction n command. Bt…bt lyf…#lyf always plays its cards in d most unpredictable way....!
