That Special Someone

Someone who respects you,

treats you right,

unconditionally loves you,

who sees the beauty in your cracks,

heals you, nurtures you,

bears with your mistakes,

forgives you,

takes time-outs when the stress is too much

but doesn't break the bond,

who encourages you to be your best self,

is your biggest motivator & cheerleader,

celebrates your baby steps,

has your back when you stumble and fall,

never uses your insecurities against you,

never puts you down or beats you up

never shames you for being yourself

who never forces you to do anything

who respects your privacy

gives you the time and space you need,

expects nothing but to see you thrive

in doing what you love,

is always there to give you love and understanding

no matter how your day went or how your life is,

who has boundaries which you respect,

stops you before you burn yourself out,

acts like a sounding board for your ideas,

gives you constructive feedback on your work,

motivates you to be the healthiest

and most authentic version of yourself,

Who watches out for you,

Who your close circles love & respect

Who is your:

3 am friend,

6 am good morning text,

1 pm did you eat? ,

5 pm come home safe,

8 pm I made a special dinner,

10 pm good night,

all time 'I love you for who you are' person,

who makes you feel comfortable to be yourself,

laughs at all your jokes,

knows all your sob stories,

understands your triggers, anxieties and pet peeves,

doesn't hold your past against you,

pushes you to be better

while giving you the belief that you are good enough.

Who is fiercely loyal and protective of you.

Who stands up for you no matter what.

Someone who is a safe home.

Someone you love spending time with

Someone who helps you feel happy and safe

And that someone who you totally deserve

Is Y O U

Now read it again

Being your own special someone

doesn't mean you are self centered,

egoistic or shallow.

It rather means

you don't need someone to be your hero.

You can be there for others and for yourself too

It means you can survive and thrive

by being your own Knight in Shining Armour...

and when the Universe decides to send someone special

on your path, you will know your worth

and how you deserve to be treated.

You will know how to be

a genuinely loving and supporting partner

and will not settle for anything or anyone less

You can be an amazing person to someone else
only when you are an amazing person to yourself
To be relevant to someone else
you need to feel relevant to yourself

Mahanati Keerthy

Keerthy Suresh. She has been and is one of my most favourite actors till date. I fell in love with her personality long before her National Award winning potrayal of Savitri-Amma in the magnificent Mahanati or Nadigaiyar Thilagam, after which I was floored to say the least. The iconic Mayabazaar scene There is something about her, be it her charismatic smile, childlike demeanour, fun loving spirit or magnetic personality. She seems to be one of the most down to earth persons I have ever seen, yet I have never interacted with her in real life (hope to, some day!) What do I mean to say with all this rambling? Well, consider her background. Producer father, established actress mother, well connected links in the film industry- I'm sure you can get what I'm hinting at. Yet one look at her and you could have never guessed her parentage or lineage. She does not bank on her parents for her success, she is no diva, she has no pomp and show about her, she lets her work speak for itse...

The Art Of Acceptance

" Acceptance, in human psychology, is a person's assent to the reality of a situation, recognizing a process or condition (often a negative or uncomfortable situation) without attempting to change it or protest it. " - Wikipedia Hello Wanderers... an august April to you (pun intended :P)! March has been a month of earning too many brain wrinkles (which appear when one attempts to learn or apply something new), academically, spiritually and emotionally for me. And here I am to share my insights on the art of acceptance ( which would have made March so much more simpler for me ). What does acceptance have to do with brain wrinkles? You'll be able to answer this question by the end of this article. Now, before I start, let's get the basics straight. We lovely hoomans, with our amazing brain capacity and fantastic ability to analyze, create and predict, sadly tend to falter in one area where all other species seamlessly succeed - ACCEPTANCE. Having evolved wit...

Inside the Mind of a Missionary Worker

I wrote this poem in an attempt to dive inside the mind of missionary workers and healthcare warriors, who are the need of our pandemic struck world. I was curious to explore how they could genuinely and unconditionally give sisterly and brotherly love to victimized people, who often shame themselves - as in, they hate their own existence and don't love themselves. It's easy to love people who love themselves or at least have learnt to deal with their insecurities and have stopped projecting their fears and complexes onto other people. But how does one love someone who hates themselves? Let's see. I want to love you no matter what you do whether you hit, beat or curse I want to love you no matter who you are genuine or a toxic farce I want to love you no matter what you throw defenses, screams and abuses galore I want to love you You know why? It's the only thing that's gonna set me free and help me fly So how do I love you when you are this mess of s...
