Hi maitreyi_parinaama👋,

How are you dealing with 2020, so far?

Working all night, sleeping all day,

Missing those idiots who make me laugh,

Spending the days that never return,

I feel so dumb right now

6 words are not enough

To explain this madness!

Chores, Rationing, Fear!

My daughter, Family, Frustration!

I do hope that you make

Your quarantine insanely productive.

Yours truly

(with a mask)

Indian Premier League - Past & Present

Hello dear readers of Parinaama!!! Your editor here! Glad to meet y'all in another post (after quite some time I must say), that too in this special one. Why do I call it special? – because it indeed is - to me, to the blog, and by the end of this article, to you as well. A quick glance into my profile on our home page will tell you that I’m an avid sports fan, with specialization in cricket. It was a long time thought of mine that I should express my sports enthusiasm in a form of art that I’m fond of – writing. After lots of thinking, hesitation, and taking inputs from our very own Author, I decided that the splendid combination of my 2 amazing hobbies shall take place in none other than the ever-safe space of Parinaama. * manifesting a job like this * So, readers, it is with great happiness and joy that we, at Parinaama, present to you the very first article of our Sports Blog. Let me give you a little background t o present an insight into how the Sports Blog shall proce...

Feeling Hopeless

When I’ve been praying for something to occur for so long....t hat its no more a prayer but an obsession And my mind is constantly thinking and overthinking...n ever ending doubts When will it happen? Where will it happen? How will it happen? Till I become so dejected, frustrated and exasperated That I ask Will it happen? And finally say I don’t care if it happens. Magic occurs when I state this. Because when I state “I don’t care anymore” I’m no longer chasing the boon But allowing it to find me When I say I don’t care if it happens, I no longer need something external to fill a void in me. When I say I don’t care, I find what I need within me And hence attracting the boon. ...if only you search inwards... Fear not dear readers, when you feel hopeless, lost and frustrated Respect this feeling and allow it to flow through you Understand the root of this feeling to be You seeking without what exists within When you go to...
