Xtra # just a little more

 Disclaimer: I am participating in Blogging from A-Z challenge 2022 and this is my post for X # Xtra "Just a little bit🤏 more" 😁

When I was young and my favourite dish was cooked 

I always tried to take an extra helping when no one looked 🤫

When my Dad bought pastries 🍰 for us 

I forever wanted a little extra and created a fuss

As I grew older I wish I  had a little extra pocket money 💰 

To buy bright new clothes and make my days sunny 🌞 

Invariably I always wished 💭only if 🤞

I was a little extra taller,  🤏

Physically and mentally stronger 💪💪

My eyes are cheerful and brighter 👀

My brain, extra sharper 🤓

So that I had answers to any question whatsoever 🤔 

I forever wished to be more street-smart ☺and witty😉

So that wonderful responses didn't have to wait for my lazy stimuli 😒😏

How I wished to get a great job in my career 🤑

And have beautiful things to make my life merrier🤩🤩

All said and done, I was never contented with whichever way I was 😒

Looking for out and out perfection without any reason or cause

😑😑😑😑😒😒😒

BUT ONE PROBLEM ALWAYS REMAINED 🤔

HOW WAS THE BENCHMARK TO BE OBTAINED 😬😬

EVEN IF I REACHED A POINT HOW WAS THAT TO BE MAINTAINED 😒😒

HOW THIS SELF-MADE IDEOLOGY WAS TO BE SUSTAINED 🙄🙄


It was only much later did I realize,  🙂

Everything had its price 

The EXTRA WEIGHT of trying to get ahead 😔

Will only create pressure on my real happiness ☹

I am capable of managing my life 🙂🙂🙂

I didn't need to get out of my skin for my talents to maximize 😲

 I need not be an ideal or a model of person 😕 

That wouldn't make me any more or any less awesome😇😇 

People like being friends with those who have faults and misgivings 😁😁

Companionship with someone perfect can after all be too unsettling 😐

REPERCUSSIONS #

So now I feel I don't want anything extra🤏🙄 from the ordinary 😀

Whatever I have both inner and outwardly is after all satisfactory 🙂🙂


LESSON LEARNT 👍 

I like being the person next door 😇

Very approachable and normal to the core 😀

If I had to add that extra to my ordinary I would become someone else 🤷

For this life, I would happily like to be just like my own self 🤗🤗


🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

MAYBE ONE DAY WHEN I GET  A CHANCE TO SHINE🌞

THAT DAY, THE PLEASURE OF BEING MYSELF SHALL  BE ENTIRELY MINE 🌝🌝🌝

DRIZZLE TO DOWN POUR

Image
  Disclaimer:  I am participating in  Blogging from A-Z challenge 2022  and this is my 4 the post for  D # Drizzle to Downpour  I was in the first year of college. We were given a preparatory leave for our midterm exams. It was Monsoon time.  That day I had a project to submit so had to go to college. Normally my whole group of friends would board the bus together, but today I had no company. The sky seemed clear. I felt if I could get the bus at 8, reach college around 9, and submit the assignment, I could be back by 10 o clock. That way I could save the rest of the day for studying. I just took my wallet, put my project done so prudently in my bag and off I went.  I boarded the almost empty bus and took my favourite window seat. Whenever commuting to and fro, I have crossed the Howrah Bridge, I have always felt so relaxed. The cool breeze from the Hooghly river whispering in my ear always brought tranquillity and peace. The bus had great momentu...

FACE THE MUSIC WITH ME

 Disclaimer: I am participating in  Blogging from A-Z challenge 2022  and this is my sixth post, F # FACE THE MUSIC WITH ME  The incident to which I shall be relating. the series proving how big an idiot I am, took place at the World famous Goddess Karni Temple near Bikaner, Rajasthan. It was during our Autumn 😎 Break. My Parents and we four sisters were on a road trip to Rajasthan's holy places. It was the last stop, almost our journey's end before heading back to Jaipur. Let me brief you before we proceed, that Karni Mata Mandir is also known as the Temple of Rats with approximately 25,000 black and white ones, housed there. We were not expecting them to be dangerous, or scary. To be honest, I had imagined them in their nice warm cages, but no, as we entered, I was in shock. The sudden realisation that in the next 15 to 20 minutes we shall be surrounded by potentially thousands of RATS. We were told to be discrete enough not to step on, not even accidentally on a ...

A friend in need is a friend indeed! 😇

 A # A friend in need is a friend indeed TO ERR IS HUMAN😇 TO FORGET IT AND STILL MAKE THE SAME 🙄 WELL IS  HUMAN AGAIN 🙂 GRADUALLY MAKING IT AGAIN N' AGAIN 🙄🙄 YOU BECOME A MASTER IN THE GAME 🏆 Some mistakes don't have a noteworthy impact,  but a few change the course of your life.I shall be talking about both, till u feel, thank God you are after all not me. The first big mistake I remember was committed in my 4th standard,  I was 8 years old then and had made my very first best friend. 👭Her name was Kanchan. We had sworn to stand by each other through thick n thin . One day she informed me her telephone ☎️ ( that was the norm in the 80s and 90s ) was out of order and if I could register its complaint. I told her that I was unaware of the process. She gave me a number on which I was supposed to call and directed me on how to go about it . I agreed 👍.  In the afternoon,  I decided to do the needful.  I called up, a man's voice answered,  I t...
