Did someone say dance?

Image
 "Life's nothing without dance" Dance has been a stupendous element in my life. Whenever I'm sad, I play my favourite song and dance for it. I got this advice from our Thalaiwar ... Did you get it? His dialogue to Simran ma'am in the movie Petta . Ever since then, I kept that advice on my mind. My band friends and I went out to a party today. We had to perform there. As a drummer, I had the biggest part today. You know why? Because the couples who booked us were into rock. Our bassist, lead guitarist and I had the maximum fun. You know, ' Apes together stronger '.   Later, I was out with my Family attending a birthday party ( They are our family friends ). Not gonna lie, I had fun. Subsequently, as they know I'm a dancer, they invited me to the dance floor. As I was at the lowest point of my life, like for about 2 months, I never went for a dance floor, except for a time where I danced at our juniors' fresher's day. But I forced myself to danc

F1, what?

 "If you no longer go for a gap that exists, you are no longer a racing driver" -Aryton Senna F1, is one of the best things that have ever happened to me. Since my 10th grade, I've dreamt of being a F1 driver. I Love cars. Cars play a major role in my life, I've already told you, innit mate?  By the way, to the ones who doesn't know anything about F1, Formula 1 is the highest class of international racing for open-wheel single-seater racing cars. (Talking in English, it's just cars going in circles) Daniel Ricciardo, is my favourite driver. He competed for RedBull in the beginning. Currently competing for RB formula one team. He is such an inspiration. Aprat from him, I love Lewis Hamilton. You should definitely know him to know F1.  We went for Karting today. One of the best days to ever exist. I made a show out of my F1 skills. I raced with my friends on the first 5 laps. Later, I began to compete with strangers (or should I say 'friends'?)  You kno

Social Media Detox?

Image
 "Delete your Social Media Accounts, you'll feel like a kid again" Guess what we did today.. Oh! This is a Simplex mode communication. My bad! Fine. I'll tell you. My friends are phone addicts, they can't do anything or go anywhere without their phones in their hands. On the other hand, I hate my phone. I wanna be more in real life than in someone's more structured and staged world. You know what I mean. Hence, we planned to keep our phones away for a day. My friends suffered a lot in the first 2 hours, then they got used to it.  They began to enjoy the real world. We went on a long drive in our bikes. Man, that breeze on your face while driving up a hill. It felt like Seventh Heaven. Not gonna lie, I would live the rest of my life on that hill, if I didn't have any responsibilities, of course. We were enjoying the entire day. Without having the urge to click pictures to let the 'Online strangers' know that we're having fun.  Till now they did

Cinema, The most beautiful Fraud

Image
 "When People Ask Me If I Went To Film School, I Tell Them, ' No, I Went To Films'  " -Quentin Tarantino  Movies, they are everything to me. When I'm happy, I watch a movie, when I'm sad, I watch a movie, when I'm excited, I watch a movie. Whatever happens in a day, I have to watch a movie. Cinema makes me Happy. It makes me enter into my mind's eye.  It all began with Harry Potter , as both of my siblings are 90s kids, they introduced me into the world of Wizards and Witches. The VFX in it grabbed my attention. Eventually I became a movie addict. As time passed I only watched Hollywood movies. I loved their Screenplay, Story Writing and Camera Movements.  In due course, I began to read the scripts of my favourite movies. Oh wait! I forgot a whole part in between.. My Bad.. ** Flashback ** When I was in grade 9, I met a senior who introduced me to the world of Series. He suggested me Breaking bad, Better call saul, Friends, Office, The Middle etc,.. Y

Hey Barbie? Wanna go for a ride?

Image
 "She's not just four wheels and engine. She's Home" Did you say therapist? Cause I heard cars. Cars hold the best memories of my life. From my birth till now, cars have played a major role in my life. When I first got my driver licence, I straight away took my car and went out for a ride. In my memory, that was the best ride ever. I played my favourite playlist and drove the car, also in that cool way, you know with one hand on the steering wheel and the other on the gear. Aahh! That was Stupendous my friend.  Today, I went on a ride with my friends. After a prolonged time ( I drove yesterday πŸƒπŸ»‍♀️).  It was relaxing. To drive around my hometown, with my friends by my side, listening to our favourite songs which reminded us of our school times. Listen bud, ( here comes an advice from a person who is dumber than you ) don't ever give up on your friends. I mean, there are few who you should be distant from. But those few gems, please don't leave them. Even

A normal day at work

Image
 "I just wanna be happy. Not confused, not hurt, not stressed, just happy." Feels like life's back to normal. Normal as in the movies. Like how the hero feels to be back with his people on the post credit. I don't want these moments to be ruined. I want this life to be continued till I turn into ashes. This is what I want. This is everything I need. Woke up, had coffee, ate breakfast, watched TV, spent time with fam, lunch? Mom fed me, went on an evening ride to check the infrastructure developments around the city, played cricket, played my guitar, had my favourite dinner and now? Chilling while listening to my favourite songs..  A normal day at work bro. It's everything to me. It's everything that I yearned for. Man, I'm finally living my Life.  By the way, it's international dogs' day, tell your dog I said "Hi". And our boy waves hi to all the boys and girls around there.  Happy Dog's day fellas 🫢🏻  And hey listen to 'Haan k

Chillin' and killin'

"Do I look like I care?" What a day... I thought I'm done with the day, but it's 9.32 pm and I'm still living it to the best. Home. Home is everything. I dreamt of sleeping on my couch, sleeping on my bed, using my washroom and eating my mom's delicious food. Am I living my Life? Yes, yes I do. From going to church to planing the next whole week, we had the greatest time today. After a 2 month gap, I played my drums at church today. What a feeling to be with my therapist. My drums was with me in my lowest of times. He healed me.  Even when I broke my hand, I played my drums. You know what? I never felt the pain on my hand while playing. People may come and go, but my drums will never leave me.  In this generation, being a TV addict is weird. Whenever I talk about my TV addiction, my seniors and friends will exchange weird looks between them. I mean, I don't like being on my phone. I'm not into social media too. I just have them to react on Ryan Goslin

And when I'm back in Chicago πŸ₯Ί❤️‍🩹

Image
"And when I'm back in Chicago, I feel it. Another version of me, I was in it. I wave goodbye to the end of beginning" Finally, I'm back home. After a worst phase, here I am in the safest hands of My People. What a safe spot. People are tend to be out of comfort zone to live their lives on better terms. But, you've to get back to that Comfort Zone when you have to. There are times where you should not be hard on yourselves.  People get tired. People need time to get into the zone. At moments like that, it is okay to get into your comfort zone. It's okay to take a step back if you confidently know that you can comeback stronger after the downfall. Knowing that I'm going back home again gave me the best heart rush ever. It was the best day indeed (and it still is). After a month and a half, I had Sri Lankan food. And that's called as paradise. What a feeling to be back to the safe spot. Apart from coming home. Some of my people in India made it extra spec

Did you catch flights because you got feelings?

Image
 "Catch flights, not feelings" This was my caption to the photo I uploaded on Social Media which was about me coming to India for my higher studies. I've caught many flights before. But this one was really special. This almost changed my perspective on Life. This flight taught me to live alone without my well known fellas.  I got many friends and I've got good contacts here in college and outside the area. The first time, I knew nothing about Madras Christian College. I had mixed opinions in my 1st Semester. I totally ignored my family and friends while focusing on my college and hall (hostel) events. Then I went back to Sri Lanka. And returned well prepared for the 2nd semester. Guess what? Those preparations were inefficacious. The 2nd semester shattered me. Yet I had my seniors and my friends, who held me upright.  Apart from them. I got a friend (Whom I knew for past 2 years, I guess). He came from nowhere and miraculously healed me. When I went back again to Sri

What's creepy?

 "Stare at the dark too long and you will eventually see what isn't there" I just woke up from a nap which I wish I never had. Since my friends and I were out today, hunting for pg(s). And we saw some creepy places, it's running in my mind like Max Verstappen's car rushing to the finish line.  These things being piled up in my mind. I dreamt like we got caught in a place where an old lady sacrificed people to worship a satanic figure. It is scary my brother, It is very scary. I can still feel my heartbeat.  People tend to be afraid of various things. The thing which scares my best friend will be a fun activity to me. For example; Flying in a plane.  But I can assure that everyone of us were once or even now, afraid of the monsters under our bed. I'm not gonna lie, I always check under my bed for monsters before going to bed. (Even now) But hey! Don't we now, as grown depressed kids search for monsters in order to seek their help? Like when we are lonely or

Don't try to play fool with me niggesh. It's very bad!

  "Lost my senses, I'm defenseless. Her perfume's holding me ransom. Sweet and sour, heart devoured. Lying here, I count the hours."  Ah! This lyric by One Direction is everything (Shoutout to Louis Tomlinson) And, Zayn nailed it with his voice. It's running in my mind like the prayers an old pretty woman would chant when in danger. Day 2 of being the happiest of all ( I mean I know many of us are having the best day of our lives right now, yet hey come on, It's about me here, so bear with me. Thank you! πŸ˜‚πŸšΆπŸ»‍♀️) But... The point at issue is that I'm worried about being the happiest. I'm worried that these pretty blue skies will turn into grey lonely ones, that these smiles will turn upside down and that I will lose myself again. One minute I am the happiest. The next..  ** Black screen ** ** Black and white shot to my face [ Camera Movement - Dolly Zoom (Dolly in) ] ** ** Dialogue ** Me: I wanna die Why God Why??.. I often relate to the dialogue fro

  "Dead People receive more flowers than the living ones, because the regret is stronger than gratitude."  I am receiving more flowers (today) while compared to the dead ones. And when asked. They said, " It's Your BIRTHDAY." Herding attention is a blast until you realize you're just a Zookeeper for other people's egos. I'm slowly assassinated by my own thoughts. But at the end of the day, what matters is that I wore my 'Chin Tapak Dam Dam' printed tshirt and my Spiderman watch to my Birthday Celebrations. That's enough to make a grown man.. Oh.. Woman Happy.
