Basked in Nostalgia

Image location: Church Street Social
The autumn breeze strokes my hair
As I switch lanes absentmindedly
Greeted by a lone streetlight’s blare
I push brakes on my car midway

The radio buzzes furiously
Gasping for connection
The musk of bricked walls
Makes my heart heavier

The door of my old house creaks
Dust clad and filthy
Been a while since I visited
Nothing had changed, just me

A distinctly different person now
Yet my soul was chirping
Recognizing the old rhythm
Wanting to match steps to the beat

The trees swayed ceremoniously
As though my arrival was inevitable
A changed person I may be
A part of me will always live here

I take a deep breath to hold it forever in
Just a few seconds here and I am
Basked in the nostalgia of
Newspapers and undiluted conversations.

Trivedi weaves together a pattern of experimental notes, folk instr

Image source: Google Movie: Kal ho Na Ho Today, we mourn the passing away of a beloved emotion,  Love for Shah Rukh Khan , who has been with us for so many years. It’s been 25 years since this emotion developed in our hearts and gave us nothing but solace, affection and the joy of dreaming. It had accomplished the dream of " Chaand Taare Tod Lau, Saari Duniya par main chauu."  Image Source: Google This emotion will be remembered for so many valuable lessons it gave us such as; Bade bade deshon mein aisi choti choti baatein hoti rehti hai Pyaar dosti hai Aaj ek sapna aur dekh lo..aaj kya pata kal ho na ho Haar ke jeetne wale ko Baazigar kehte hai This emotion came into the world by displaying the beautiful concepts of love, life, and humility; it eventually went on dictating the concepts of heartbreak, pain, and infidelity. (hint: Happy New Year) This emotion lived by the simple philosophy that if we really want something, the universe will co
