Red Fort: My Lifelong Love Story

-

 Some places aren’t just monuments,they’re memories, roots n reflections of who we are. For me, #RedFort has always been that one constant.Growin up in Delhi,I didn’t just know the Red Fort,I felt it, day in n day out. Bein in the same vicinity as my school,#PresentationConvent,the #RedFort was nevr just a heritage site,it was part of my evryday view.Sittin in my school bus as a young girl,I remember catchin those glimpses wid childlike adoration…gatherin dat quiet, regal vibe,almost unknowingly, evry single day.Even now,as life takes me far frm home,dat image,the bold red walls,the echoes of history,the calm beyond the chaos,keeps coming back to me.It’s like a part of me still stands there,tucked somewhere between the school gates and the fort’s mighty arches....It’s nt abt architecture alone.It’s abt the soul of #Dilli. It’s about the sense of belongin....#RedFort is more than just a fort for me...It’s my eternal heartbeat.And no matter where I live, I’ll keep carryin it inside me,always.

Words hover just beyond reach, like shadows flickering at the edge of candlelight—half-formed, teasing, waiting for me to grant them shape.....do they really need to get born!

What My Morning Milk Knows...

I don’t take tea. Never have. They call it an elixir,bt I guess my heart chose milk instead.Warm, plain, honest. Like a childhood that refused to grow up ccompletelyAnd honestly? I’ve made peace with bein called a milk baby. It’s a name I wear like a soft rug on a cold momorning. 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. D courtroom felt alive,evry gaze like a tiny spotlight,evry question like a test I wasn’t sure I cud pass.N then…I argued.I argued like I’d been born to do dis, words flowin,points hittin,logic sharp n unrelentin.D judges nodded,questioned,challenged,bt I countered,I defended,I held my ground. 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....!
