Covid-19 and I



So for people that know me closely also know that I'm sentimental.. But my friends will just tell you that I'm "mental".. Anyway, I've always wished that the people who're close to me tell me how they actually feel about me, how much they miss me, how much they care for me, how much I mean to them.. You know I wish these so called 'close' people say mushy things to me.. But no! What I get instead is endless banter, merciless teasing and sarcasm.. Like recently this friend was telling me about how I attract all unwanted people in my life, when actually I feel that this particular friend is just jealous of my popularity.. lol!! 

So in a recent group chat while sharing a forward about Covid-19, a friend said that Covid is behaving like me.. In an otherwise endless list of mean comments directed at me I didn't take this one to heart.. It was more of a compliment since I'm being compared to the most (un)popular topics at the moment and hence I was feeling mildly flattered.. And so I thought why not list out all the similarities between Covid and me.. Yeah besides being sentimental, I can also be crazy at times.. So here's my crazy post about how similar Covid and I are..

1. Covid-19 is feared - So am I

Well I'm a totally friendly, chill and cool person.. (When I want to be).. But normally I don't want to be friendly.. I like to maintain that intimidating demeanor so that I don't have to deal with people I don't want to.. So for the people who do dare to still try and reach out to me - well, you deserve a bravery award! and like Corona I will kill you.. But not fatally, just try to scare you with my cold stare! 

2. Covid-19 is world famous - So am I

Yes the only topic being discussed today is Covid-19.. It's impacted people world over.. Every single news channel, online news feed and even memes are only dedicated to Corona.. I don't think there is a single person in this world who has not heard of Covid.. It's world famous.. So also I like to believe I'm 'famous' since people are very interested to know what I'm upto, where I am during weekends, who I'm talking to etc etc.. It makes me feel like a celebrity.. I wish I was earning like one too! lol!!

3. Covid-19 is destructive - (Apparently) So am I

I won't get into the details of how Covid has caused havoc and destruction in everyone's lives..Coming to me, a friend said I destroy whoever comes in contact with me.. That's a bit over the top I guess.. Anyway the example this friend cited about my destructive capabilities was that Tik Tok got banned the minute I started uploading my videos on the app! Ha ha.. Very funny.. needless to say I have banned/blocked this friend from my life! (just kidding).. Actually I've made a hobby of 'blocking' and 'unblocking' people in my life (read "Social Media").. Helps to spice things up and keeps the other party 'interested'.. lol! ;-) 

4. Covid-19 is a mystery - So am I

So scientists world over are racing against time to try and find a vaccine/cure for Corona.. But they are unable to figure out what kind of a virus this is and how it can be contained.. Well, people have tried hard to understand me also and failed miserably.. heh heh heh.. The answers to questions like "Who is this person?" "What exactly does she want?" still remains elusive and a mystery and people have raised their hands in surrender.. Well I'm not going to answer these questions too.. Because that's for me to know and for you to find out.. ;-)

5. Covid-19 is here to stay - So am I

Now health experts all over the world are telling us that Covid is here to stay and that we can't get rid if it and hence we should learn to live with it.. So is the case with me.. People can't get rid of me.. Even if they want to.. I make a lasting impression on the people I come in contact with.. So once you get to know me closely you're stuck with me.. for life!! you have to find a way to live with me, my quirks, weirdness, mood swings, sarcasm and everything else about me that gets on your nerves.. 

So like this friend said that friendship with me is like a marriage.. Just like in a marriage there comes a point where neither can you live WITH your spouse nor can you live WITHOUT them.. in the same way like Covid you can't live with me but I'm not going anywhere anytime soon.. I'm here to stay and you're stuck with me.. Lucky you! ;-)

Happy Birthday Mummy :-)

Today would've been Mummy's 64th birthday had she been here with us.. However like she said, it's always the best people that get called to heaven early on.. So she's celebrating her birthday in heaven along with my brother..  My Mummy was a wonderful woman who enjoyed the simple pleasures of life.. a homecooked meal, reading books, stitching, embroidery, knitting and she loved tea and had endless cups of tea in a day..  She was an excellent cook and enjoyed cooking for her family.. Even when she made normal stuff like maggi it tasted just out of this world..  So I inherited none of her homely' hobbies, but I inherited her love for books.. She was a well read woman and had an excellent memory.. And she was an excellent teacher and was well respected and loved by all her students.. She was strict with me and my brother.. More so with me.. She had high expectations of me and growing up I had very little margin for error.. I used to resent it that she was so strict and...

Types of friends we all have.. (A friendship day special post)

First of all, a very happy Friendship day to all of you.. I think you have read enough quotes and seen enough reels depicting the importance of friends/friendship in our lives so I won't give you any more 'gyan' on the subject.. But the occasion calls for a customary blog post so I decided to pen down a few thoughts.. I've come a long way from being that naive girl who believed that 'Friendship is forever'.. "Friends forever" is something I scoff at now.. that's probably the cynic in me speaking.. But I've also come to realise that people come into your life at the exact point in time when you need them.. These people turn into friends and then long after they're gone still stay in your life albeit just as memories, but not without leaving a lasting impression on you..   Today I take this opportunity to thank all these different types of friends (some of who are still in my life and some who are not) who decided to adopt me as their friend ...

RAAZ PICHLE JANAM KA

A popular channel is telecasting a prog wherein a person is helped, to find out the reason for his/her problems by going into his/her past life through hypnosis. i was told about the concept of the programme by a colleague. even though i hadnt watched the programme just the description of the programme sent shivers down my spine.. although when i actually watched the programme i was bitterly disappointed. the programme was exactly how she described.. the person being taken back into his past to try and locate that particular instant in his life that left a lasting impact on the person.. The plot till here is ok.. but i just dont seem to understand how an incident can have a lasting impact so deep that it penetrates through the future births of the person too.. a little over the top i should say.. The concept of re birth has been debated over the years.. a lot of research too has gone into this field.. and a whole lot of people can vouch for the fact that sucha thing does exist.. i resp...
