My Grey World

I think no other expression can express my feeling better than “What the hell?????”.
My heart aches for you, Mumbai. Especially your people who are hurt, saddened, and brought down. This is just too familiar to me. Some unknown people just came, hurting everybody, with unknown reasons.
They might think they’re doing something great. They might think [...]

Papa, Mama,
I grew up.
But it hurts. So much.
I want to go back to the earlier years.

This term has not been my most tiring term ever. I guess the time has passed. [...]

I miss you more than you can imagine
When I’m lying alone on my bed in my pitch dark room, looking at the tiny indicator light of the aircon, knowing that you’re not on the other bed, singing or talking nonsense about your day.
I miss you more than you can imagine
When I wake up for school [...]

First of all, especially if you haven’t got attached before, please know that juggling boyfriend/girlfriend and friends AND a plethora of other stuff is tiring and impossible. There’s a reason why the term “supermom” (who juggles husband, children, work, and everything else) was invented, you know.
Second of all, please know that we still want to [...]
