We live in a pretentious world, a world where fancy words are meant to deceive minds and find its way into creating the illusion of what one's mind would have wanted. Losing on the needs of the very own existence of that being. Having said something so complex with big words is just an example of how our world works. It starts early when we all are made to dream about newest toys in the market, a visit to Disneyland, when we watch the fairytales and see those magical creatures. Then a little after that when we are told about the halls of Harvard, Oxford or Massachusetts. Then they say to get a job like everyone else and strive for that, give proof of your hard work three times a week and still stay there burning under the questioning gaze of people since giving out results were not possible for you. Having a job in this time of societal turmoil, wars, pandemics is a chance not all get, but not being able to justify the chance given to you...

Midnight Nostalgia

Copyright © WD, 2021 All rights reserved. People around me often ask why do I have a messed-up schedule. Well, that is because I can not decide when to sleep and when not to. Lately, my sleep is being angry with me, it used to be my best friend, but now we do not share much time. I can barely sleep for an hour straight. Nights are not fluent. I keep on waking up after every hour or can not sleep at all. I suppose this is the issue with most of us. We feel tired yet, we fail to sleep. (This is the lyrics from the song I love the most.) Most of the time, you will find yourself awake at midnight, tip-toeing throughout the house to steal something to eat (even if you are alone). Chocolates, chips, strawberries and cigarettes (I am quoting a song again!), cake, etc. I am personally a sugar addict. If you live alone or you live in a mansion-like house where no one can hear you, then instant noodles can become your perfect nighttime snack with a cup of coffee. I should now acknowledge all the...

Tomorrow

Copyright © WD, 2021 All rights reserved. I was about to sleep yesterday when I turned to my side to face the windowpane where I had kept all the works for today. All lined up and had all my paintbrushes, sketch pencils, journal, pens, laptop, notebooks, pages, sticky notes with various things scribbled on them, and my phone with an alarm, to which I would wake up and switch off and then doze off again. Everything lined up so properly. I had everything in my mind, but what if getting up tomorrow is not destined?  This was the thought that I had last night; the thought that I slept with. Even though dying in sleep is a rare thing, but it does happen. And corona has normalized the thoughts of a person dying without any foreseen reasons. You talk to your friend from miles apart on February 24, and then no talk. You return to talking after a month to find that four people from his/her family died, and he/she had a grieving time due to this unexpected corona. Death is inevitable, life i...
