A tale that repeats itself

-
It's May 2026 and today I realised how May keeps repeating itself in my life.
I went to a café with my family wearing an orange dress. It's one of the very few dresses I actually like. I bought it in May 2024, wore it for the first time in May 2025 because I don't really like wearing dresses, and then again in May 2026.There was a bookshelf in the café and while I was looking through it, I found an old brownish copy of The Kite Runner. The kind with yellowed pages that I absolutely love.
And suddenly, all my Mays came back to me.
A friend had recommended The Kite Runner to me in May 2023 but I wasn't really a reader back then, so I didn't pay much attention to it. I finally read it in May 2024 and reread it in May 2025. I remember crying my eyes out while reading it. Seeing that copy today instantly took me back to those different versions of myself. I know I'll probably read it again.
Apart from this, May always feels the same in certain ways. There is always a ridiculous amount of academic pressure. I don't really feel like talking to anyone. I become quieter and retreat into myself a little. And somehow, the books I read always seem to align with my life. Right now, I'm reading Almond, and there is this whole page about why May feels so weird. It made me stop because it felt strangely familiar.
I don't know if it's nostalgia or coincidence but some months seem to have personalities of their own. They return carrying the same feelings, the same habits, the same stories and they introduce you to old versions of yourself.
I have a similar tale for October.

Ukulele Diaries: Day 2

-
It’s Day 2 of my attempt at learning the ukulele. I didn’t post about Day 1 because, trust me, no one would have wanted to witness that chaos. For now, I’m treating this as a small hobby, though I’m not sure how long the enthusiasm will last. Maybe I’ll share another update in a month or so to see if there’s actually been some progress or just another round of noise.

Stay a While Longer

Abhi Na Jao Chhod Kar has been one of those songs I’ve loved all my life. It makes me want to tell people the same thing, that I love when they stay a little longer. There’s a tenderness in it. I’ve also grown to love Ajay Sahab’s extended stanzas of this song. They feel like the melody itself doesn’t want to end, just like the words. And in the voice of Rajesh Singh Sir, it turns into something so deeply melodious that it stayed with me and i am sure it'll stay with you too. I connect with it in both languages, Hindi and English, because it feels like it belongs to both my heart and my words.🦢 अभी उठा हूँ नींद से तुम्हारा ख़्वाब देख के अभी तुम एक ख़्वाब हो, अभी पसे हिजाब हो मैं छू के तुमको देख लूँ कि सच में मेरे पास हो मुझे थी जिसकी जुस्तजू, वही मेरी तलाश हो अभी तो इस तलाश का मिला कोई सिला नहीं अभी ना जाओ छोड़कर के दिल अभी भरा नहीं I woke from slumber, carrying a dream of you. You’re still a dream, still veiled in mystery’s hue. Let me touch, let me see you near, To know if truly...
