Raag-Bairaag

I was sitting with my chai in the afternoon and scrolling Instagram, just when the extrovert in me thought of attending some random event in the city. There is no single event that crosses by when I haven't given this a thought, but today I got up and booked tickets for an event called 'Raag-Bairaag'. I managed to take a dear friend along with me to witness some mesmerizing performances by 3 artists-Manaswini Sharma, Dil Mastana, and Yugm Band.

I am here to tell you how YUGM impacted me. I believe that everything is so synced in this universe. Nothing happens by chance. I saw the stories of this event on many accounts on IG and just like that planned to go. Who knew that I will come back with a fresh perspective towards where life is taking me.

I have recently joined a travel company as a writer. Writing was my dream job a year back and I already feel as if this was not so true. When I saw Abhishek talking about music and the band, his eyes sparkled. I have heard that people glow when they talk about things they love, and this was it. I saw dreams coming true today and guess what? Yugm, you made someone see more dreams and believe in them. 

Besides, never ever miss a chance if you get to attend one of their live shows to listen to Mayank who, apart from being a flautist, recites beautiful poetries in between the performance, making the show more engaging. Yugm Band created a surreal environment along with Siddharth (guitarist), Aatmik (drummer), and Vibhor (guitarist & singer).

I also got to know that @tghcafe is building a community space for artists. After so so long I was happiest to acknowledge that I live here in Jaipur, among artists, and the event reminded me why I love this city so much.

Thank you for the immersive experience. May we cross paths again.

What's in a Name?

Into The Nothingness Back in 2017, I read a quote that said, "I want to want nothing". This itself was so intriguing that I could not stop myself reading it. I went on and on and finally saved the post on my Instagram handle. Few days passed and I was not able to get over this quote. I kept on reading it for days and months and slowly steadily it became my life. I might not be able to tell you that when exactly I started living my life like this, but there's one thing for which I am so sure that this one-liner changed my life. I know, you must be reckoning that it took you 3 years to bring this content to papers? Well, yes. But I remember talking about it with people who asked me the meaning of it, I still do. Now it became my identity in the college. Every passer-by used to call me, "Hey, @ intothenothingnesss ", reason being it was my Instagram username now. I inculcated these words so well and felt like a soul setting herself free. Let me not ...

Seri? Seri. Okay? Okay.

" Aaj se SERI humara word hai " might not be as aesthetic as "Maybe OKAY will be our always", but we won't deny the fact that  Dil Bechara  made us cry just like The Fault in Our Stars did.  Dil Bechara ripped my heart in thousand different ways. It was one of those movies which I never wanted to watch but couldn't stop myself as well. I would never compare my all-time favourite TFIOS with Dil Bechara but it would be unfair to say that Bollywood tadka to John Green's words went in vain.  In the scene when Manny put Pushpinder in front of him and Kizie hugged him from behind, he reminded me of the lost love and those little moments left to be cherished or maybe to be kept in my memory box forever. The song 'Taare Gin' had tears rolling down from my eyes as it just took me back to a similar ride on a hazy night in December. When Manny and Kizie said, "Seri", it made me long for the "I love you's" that we lose in our lives....
