CHAPTER 1 - ROAD TO HOME

With each day passing by we both have realised that life is too short for being tangled with grief and sorrow. Back in school we were these shy people with our own baggage of family problems that made us a complete outsider in school. Battling in the war zone of peer pressure and insecurities lead us to a state of turmoil. Colours of rainbow were added in the days of black and white when we crossed the same road. Our friendship feels like a roller coaster if we reflect back to those days, but hey! which friendship doesn’t ?

Now being in different horizons of this mundane world made us realise how crazy we all used to be. The days of continuous gossiping and the sounds of laughter still rings in our ears sometimes. We definitely found a safe place to call home in each other, which made us stronger and more resilient. Moments of uncountable laughter, epiphanies and cries are hidden somewhere in this place we call our “home”.

Starting this venture is just a result of brain storming on a random day. I guess we all have tried numerous things in this never ending quarantine period. This is our way of “trying something new” maybe. A lot of us are facing mental health issues that we are not even aware of. We all try to find home in a stranger where we can be a different version of ourselves and just feel free. I guess we all role play through every single day to feel alive.

 Normalising mental health issues, heart breaks and abuses is really not done and is completely unfair. Our main motive for starting this venture is to listen people’s stories and make them heard, because real heroes are around us. We just need to open our eyes and ears to see and hear them out. Everyone who wants to share their stories and relive their experiences are welcome here, where every human is a town filled with stories and experiences to tell.

CHAPTER 3 (PART 2) - SUN-KISSED SUNFLOWER

      I see myself glooming in midsummer field and there’s the sun shining on me. Yes, she is my hues of happiness, a warm gust of wind and my midsummer madness. She is my sun and I am her sunflower. How can someone be so captivating? How can someone change your days of winter haze into sizzling summers? I found answers to all my questions and I am here to share them with you all. There’s no confined explanation whether she is ‘The one’ for me. It’s the beautiful unexplainable feeling and love between us that made me fall for her. When you love someone, you can feel how surreal is the connection you both share and that’s how you know that you got ‘the one’.  Two years ago, we met on social media through a mutual friend and started talking. We hit it off instantly! From texting all day to late night calls, we were irresistible for each other. We were in long distance relationship for 1 year and 3 months. Of course long distance relationship is tough, but it gets tough...

CHAPTER 3 (PART 1) - A LOST POLAROID

I have a box of polaroids buried deep within my soul somewhere. All my moments of happiness, pain and love are captured in those polaroids. But I lost one polaroid, favourite of mine. Will you all travel with me to the darkest of places to find it ? At age of 16 when everyone around me were chasing happiness and capturing pretty moments, I gathered courage to face myself. When I was 13 years old, I felt I was different in a way than others. I hit rock bottom at that time as I used to spend numerous nights crying and being depressed. I realised and accepted the fact that I am gay which gave me more strength to look inside me and believe in my most imperfect parts. So I decided to educate myself about this and started surfing various articles on internet about homophobia and homosexuality. Watching web series helped me a lot and gave me courage for confrontation. I felt lost whenever I found myself in the middle of people. I was afraid of people’s perception of me.  But these thought...

CHAPTER 7- A NOTE OF LOVE

Thousand notes of love sitting in the rusted box  hidden inside the almirah  of old times , An imprint of rose from our first meet,  A  teardrop when he  bid me adieu By the age  of 74 , I have seen generations of couples and heard real life love stories . It always gives butterflies in my stomach because  love is the  horizon where  fantasy shaped sky meets the reality shaped sea. I am  fortunate enough of having  my perfect love story.  Back in the 1950s, running along the chaotic streets of UP with crackling sounds of laughter and  the  swaying of hair along  with  the rhythm of  wind , everything s eemed so  good to be true .  My childhood was more absorbed in reel life rather than real life. I used to watch romantic movies  where the boy gets the girl in the end and they live happily ever after.  One usual day  I was going  back home with my sister when he crossed ...
