Yo!
Me!
I am me!
Meet me!
Greet me!
I am a speck of dust
Yet, I am important
You know why?
Because I am alive
Because I exist
I breathe
I laugh
I smile
I cry
I express
I feel
It’s all important
For me because
That’s what makes me who I am
And I am awesome!
Got any doubts?
Please, don’t ask!
Do I care?
Yeah, damn, I don’t!
I love vulgar words
I love to express myself
I love to show who I am actually
I care for you
I like and love you
But you’re never a priority
Because my priority is me
It was difficult to digest it
Learn it
And, thankfully, I did!
I am everything, I know it!
I am grateful for all the things
The sun, the sky, the moon,
the flowers, people, family,
smiles here and smiles there,
hugs, stolen kisses, winks
All the things
But, all of those stop existing
If I stop to exist
If I don’t take care of myself
If I am not my own priority
I am grateful for these selfish thoughts
It has made me happy
It has given me time to invest on things I love
I am happy to be selfish if that makes me happy
Because smiles here, on my face, are important
So are yours, but first,
smiles here and then smiles there
If it is smiles there first,
then for you, it is too,
smiles here and smiles there,
So always the first person,
I, me, myself
I am grateful for such happy times
Be brave, be selfish, be you!
Last weekend I went on a #soloTrek to Shivagange and I loved it. You can tell I am selfish. The hell I care. I love to spend time with myself. If you don’t love/like to be alone, trust me, you’re boring. Start making your life an adventure. Do things you fear. I feared to go on a solo trek, I did it. I conquered it. I was 2640.3 feet above the ground, bare foot, scared, but moving forward. I have shared pics and videos of the place. Feel free to go to the place, if you’re near by Bangalore.
P.S.: One of the new songs which I like to listen to is What lovers do by Maroon5.
Smiles here & Smiles there

Haven’t read Gone with the wind. Its movie is also 4 hours long 😀 I got Norwegian Wood only. Haven’t read it. Till I remember the title is because the protagonist loved The Beatles and their song titled Norwegian Wood.

yeah i haven’t seen the movie 😛 because I am afraid it will spoil my love for this classic book 🙂 the book is 1500 pages long 😛 but it is the most classic book on love and will give you insight on american civil war 😉 i would suggest reading it 😉 when you can afford it 😛 and yes marukami is fan of Beatles 😛 i think who isn’t …specially people who grew up in 70’s 😀 I am reading master on masters by amjad ali khan (sarod maestro) I recently attended his session in pune lit fest and this was my first intro to indian classical music 🙂 I am trying to grasp its power these days 🙂

The beauty about you is the shameless YOU in you – who loves to inspire and who inspires to love – oneself! Who could have thought of celebrating one’s ownself….taking a solo trip, talking to himself, caring a shit about what people think! I love out-of-the-box people and you are one of the top in the list! Thank you for giving a beautiful perspective of life – you cannot really love others if you do not love yourself! I love this angry-young-man wala Amithabh in you! Stay you, Darsh! And keep inspiring!

Amitabh! 😂 I was not exactly angry but yeah, I wanted to express the pain and suffering it takes to build our ownself and it ain’t easy. Still, we do to survive and it’s good. People term it selfishness but that’s fine. I love it. I love myself. I love our group. Solo trek was good.
