All That’s There

Instagram – @sidereal.soul

I was desperate to complete the jigsaw,

But tired of finding the missing pieces.

Desperately tried to fit in the wrong ones.

Never completed but ruined it more.

Can’t leave it incomplete.

Can’t put in the wrong pieces.

So I’m shifting my gaze, and rejoicing at the part already put together.

And hanging on a bit more.

E-Letter: Taking A Break from the Usual Way of Chatting

I’m sure many of you already know about letter apps that help you interact with strangers worldwide in the traditional way of sending and receiving letters. But I couldn’t stop myself from sharing my thoughts on one such app.

(I’m not naming the app as this post might seem like a review article).

The whole concept of this app is to build the habit of writing letters anonymously and waiting patiently for their replies. The anonymity thing is what piqued my interest, and I decided to use it.

To be honest, the main reason for downloading it was to explore some friends from Korea and interact with them to know more about their culture and improve my skills in Korean. But I’m a social person who never gives up any chance to interact with new people. And since this app makes it possible in a safe way, I replied to all the letters I was receiving from different parts of the world.

Receiving and Giving Love & Warmth

I was born in the late ’90s and belong to the generation that had never sent letters and only exchanged, if at all, a few birthdays and New Year greeting cards. And so, this was entirely a new experience for me. I not only felt delighted to receive some compassionate and amiable letters but also felt relieved from the obligation of sending prompt replies (as in texting).

Nevertheless, a few of these letters were sent to me in the most annoying way of texting, but I chose to ignore them and focus only on the good aspect of this exchange of virtual letters.

And Here’s the Best Part

You get to choose amusing avatars as your display picture (keeping up with the anonymity), and you can customise all the facial features and expressions, as well as the clothes and accessories as per your choice. Mine is a funky girl with a friendly laugh, wearing a cool skull-designed t-shirt.

Umm…. What else?

There is a collection of country stamps to give you that feeling of sending conventional letters. And as I had already mentioned, you’d need to be patient as the time taken to send and receive letters will depend on the distance between you and your friend’s area. For instance, letters from the U.S. to India take a day to deliver; however, letters sent within a country may only take a few hours to reach.

Besides, all my sent and received letters are categorised and separately saved for each of my pen pals. This makes it easy for me to go back and check what I had written in my previous letters and keep up with the flow.

But What Makes Me Sad is…

Some people rely completely on this app only to make friends. I got a few letters from people who are lonely in real life and looking for support and encouragement here. I certainly don’t know their circumstances, but the least I can do is to make them look forward to a positive and amiable letter.

If you have a similar experience, feel free to share it in the comments. 😊

Homecoming

It’s been almost 2 years since I had posted anything on my WordPress blog and social media platforms. My writer’s handle on Instagram seems to have been automatically deleted after a prolonged period of inactivity (I’m not surprised!).

From completing my education to stabilizing my career and taking care of my health, I couldn’t take out time for what I loved the most – writing. But as I see things getting better now, I think I can dive again into that cascade of pleasure and comfort writing always gave me.

I can feel myself once more in that homelike cozy, little space where I’m always welcomed. Even if my write-ups don’t get the same love and acceptance as before, I promised myself not to lose spirit and go on expressing the inner ramblings of my soul.

She was Medusa

An innocent and beautiful soul; she was like a butterfly,

Mesmerisingly gorgeous, her manners were timid and shy.

With alluring hazel eyes and smooth brown hair,

An angel like her never existed anywhere.

But like the sunshine of winters, her sweetness failed to last long,

Being staggeringly suppressed by others, she had to stand strong.

She was faithful to them but they turned her down,

The serene, sweet smiles on her face; were now replaced by a frown.

Coaxed to put on another face,

She lost all her womanly grace:

Not bothered by her outwardly appearance,

She revengefully defied every conventional adherence.

She gave up on everything elating and delightful,

Her indifferent stony gaze was unusually frightful.

Sleek tresses remade into a bunch of bushy-wavy hair like a nest of snakes,

This cold woman was not bent on forgiving their mistakes.

Delicate and fragile she was like the twigs,

Her crushed strength had acquired the daredevil wings.

The former admirers now willingly wanting to behead her,

For a woman rebelled with valour against the injustice done to her.

This monstrous Medusa not being born out of a curse

Was a product of society’s torments that were unbelievably worse.
