Onnum Ariyenda Nee.
Enkilum Njan Padum.. Ee Pattente Swantham.. Ennum Swantham.. Swantham🎶
May we all be safe, heart at peace and mind at ease, both aligned. If not, find the strength and grace to make it happen. To find light in the dark and love in the invisible 🤍✨
Easter is meant to be a symbol of hope, renewal, and new life.
Much needed, in regular intervals for adulting purposes!🌷🌸 How beautiful we can make it in our minds and how ugly too. This Easter Sunday, may we choose the former 💕 Crib from tomorrow if it can’t be helped.
Ah. Em nerchkuntunam anta?. We and folks around us acting out of character is now normal but in all this any “Aha” moments ? Maybe you lucked it out by finding them when belly is full and you ain’t hangry.
Any, “Damn! This is it!” kind of clarity. As in hacks for life. Maybe after a good night’s rest but never after a fight with a friend.
Miss something so much it sucks, only to realise it’s bad for you anyway and what u have is even better. (If you can see it that way). Learnt something that makes you smile only after frustrating you first?. We all be learning, observing many things.. ranging from – How in horror movies characters always whisper dialogues and you can’t hear them so you raise the volume but the damn bgm is always sudden and loud. To – the unpleasant truth and pleasant lies are equal equal. From – Wishing plumbling was project work in school instead of making the solar system with thermocol. To – An effortless dump is underrated relief.
What a time to be alive. No one is spared. Even if their Instagram looks rosy, sab ki phat rahi hai.
Share below if not too tired.
Peddananna.
Sometimes late in the night when it’s really quiet, I can hear him singing with passion. One such night I realised it’s been 15 years he and family moved in next door and I didn’t have a single picture with just him and I. I jumped out of bed when dawn hit, brushed and ran and hugged him. We had some chai, spoke for hours like we do and peddamma took this picture.
In this crazy world, and even more intense industry, he has been the lotus in the pond. Through his songs and conversations he has kept me and others afloat. The universe has been partial by sending him so near so God can speak through him to me directly.
The first day I met him, standing between furniture and piles of boxes filled with many awards, he told me not to call him Shastri Garu but only Peddananna and some things stay❤️
How Birthdays make you feel.
I said, Oh! thank you baby, how lovely! And he said look deeper, this is a puzzle.
Made sure I found all the hidden fun in the picture on my own and didn’t budge ( Well maybe a hint here and there ) till I finally found them all and then I think squeaked a little and double loved the image.
Affection is strong stuff and I love you can be said in so many different ways.
Thank you to everyone sending me birthday wishes and making me feel truly special. #GratefulAndHow!
The non stop women’s day wishes and forwards gave us feels didn’t it? and as much as life sucks if I had to compartmentalise the sucky part of it into gender equations, I’d not be wrong to say we are more beaten down and manipulated mentally, taken for a ride and used emotionally by fellow women compared to men. With men we women are instinctively carefully ( not that we are safe or get out unharmed ) but with women, we let our guard down. We genuinely want to bond. And they turn around to be.. human. Let’s be real, getting over a heartbreak over a boy is way easier than trying to understand why a bestie chopped your ankles off. Women’s day has become like Valentines day in the early 2000s. Discounts and sales ( even food ordering apps! ) Emotional social media proclamations, gift vouchers and P R building machines. Yes, it’s all fair, you have to be smart I know but.. ouch.
Before the hyper ventilating social media activists attack their keyboards, and give me statistics of the world,I’m referring to the gentle dynamics of sisterhood among the circle. The aunty jis who compare you to their daughters, the online trolls who bash you by moral policing, ( for every guy who trolls me there are two woman who do ) the family friend you have amazing memories with who is always judging the clothes you wear, or a dear girl friend you cared about putting you down for not being ambitious enough in a way familiar to her during deep vulnerable conversations, the colleague who smiles brilliantly waving good morning but throws shade at you for being single, the cousin sister you meet once in a blue moon randomly asking you whom did you vacation with ? You know? Subtle. We love these women, or we are used to loving them, we want to but.. ouch.
People are just people. Everyone wants a bite. When it comes down to survival justified by human fallibility, you’ll be missed in a blink. Period. I know I know, self love. And everything is temporary. So is all the celebration of today. So let’s not let marketing and the online world fool us. And am not even being cynical. Stoic maybe. Bitter? No. Do I have the answers? No. Do I have a point? Hell yeah.

Qaid mein hai bulbul.
It’s the name of a real movie. I found out today. Don’t ask me how! but if you use it in dumb charades, send me a bubble of good will.

The need to be constantly busy is a trauma based response. And in today’s times if what’sapp and instagram are the foundations of relationships we are bound to get screwed over and traumatised.
It’s a jungle out there.
Please take care empaths.

I did not build a castle.
I do not know how to.
Just a lil non fancy bloom.
That’s my usual thing to do.
Cause it’s not about what they expect, judge or assume.
It’s what you need to do for you.
But even that’ll keep changing.
Only change is truly true.
Nature, like the waves will come and claim it all back.
Forcing you to learn something new.
In all of this, love is the only constant.
Don’t forget, we’ll all be dead soon 🙂

Papa finally saw it ❤️ Because, our film Thrissur Pooram is now on Amazon Prime with English subtitles. And it’s dishoom dishoom just like he likes it and like he did. #done✔️

Dobby : “ Dobby knows the perfect place, sir! It is known as the Come and Go Room, sir, or else as the Room of Requirement!” .
Harry Potter : “ Why?” .
Dobby : “ Because it is a room that a person can only enter when they have real need of it. Sometimes it is there, and sometimes it is not, but when it appears, it is always equipped for the seeker’s needs.”💫✨ .
#Instagram since 2012, before it got.. Ah well! My journey, my profile, my box of magic.

Today is 02/02/2020 – The first palindrome day in all formats in 909 years.
Since 909 years some things haven’t changed, like..if most people are saying it, it must be true and log kya kahenge are still first cousins.
ZIMA BLUE.
Relevant. Uplifting. And the Truth.
Nine mins of pure perfection. I don’t think I’ve seen anything this close to perfection before and I doubt I’ll see it anytime soon, and that’s fine cause these things are rare. The beauty of this simple yet stunning, remarkable short piece of art with a large and lasting impression is unparalleled. ZIMA BLUE.
So good that I didn’t want to share it and keep it close to me, but then, the point is lost. See it now and see it again until it sinks in. The earth made us pause for reminders like this.
Will stun you into silence and lift you up, awake and humbled.
Uff. ZIMA BLUE. 💎
But first, lemme take a selfi.. scratch that.
But first, let me take a chilli.
पेट पूजा done, haan now.
Trickle trickle the followers drop.
No glamours shoots, no social cause.
Random posts, some mundane some dark.
Though I must admit, it’s been dandy ta da!
