The Words with Wings

 Isn't that who all of us need sometimes-Just a Good Listener? Take a minute to ponder over that... One day, I talked to a friend who mentioned that he can be a good listener if I ever want to talk about anything. And how many people can actually say that? Don't you sometimes feel that just letting it all out would solve your problems instead of actually finding a solution or getting any advice from anyone? That happens sometimes and not because you want to run away from your problems but because they might not be ours to solve. Let me give you an example; so my college has decided to extend our current semester by a month and that too just for taking end semester evaluations. After hearing this news, all of us just wanted to rant, for the sake of letting it all out. It's not like we can change the dean's decision or we don't know that we might have to study now, but having someone who can listen to all your rant always helps.

Most of these people have a sense of how hectic and chaotic our lives would get once the doctors come up with ...

In one of my previous blogs, "Unveiling my artwork", I told everyone about how I created my art page on Instagram. So, I sketched, doodled, and painted for posting on that art page, sometimes regularly and sometimes a bit irregularly. So, naturally, there were a bunch of drawings in my art file. I have a soft board in my room, thus some of those art pieces found their place on that soft board, while the others sat in the drawer of my stationery items.  Now, many of you might be familiar with the ritual of inviting a newlywed couple for lunch or dinner. So, one of my paternal uncles got married two years back and each of his first cousins was supposed to carry out the above-mentioned ritual and my dad was one of them. Soon, after they got married, we started with the renovation of our house, so there wasn't any point in calling them in a half-broken house, with cement and paints everywhere.
