SUMMER 2025

Lately, the blogs have been more about philosophical ideas than my day-to-day updates. So here I bring summer 2025 all in all. A three-month-and-a-half-day holiday, wow. Even the idea of it brings joy and delight. Now a sophomoreee. Freshman year was amazing, not always, but with all the stress in my head and fun side by side, a year passed. One thing that stayed with me was the time I was moving out of the dorm. As an international student, when I saw parents and families coming to help their children move out, there I was, packing my things all alone, all lost, with no idea where to start or how to wrap things up. It reminded me of how Mamu just knows what to do and how to do it. It reminded me of how Baba would come with people who could lift all those heavy things around and help us move out. As a child, when moving out of home, I barely did anything. I would go to school at one home and return to the other. But this time it was completely different and, to be honest, really lonely...

Wanderings and Wonderings: My NYC Stories

Mera pyara bandhu haru, I welcome you to the brand new blog with some exciting things I came to know about THE NYC. Yesterday, I went downtown, specifically to Manhattan and 14th Street Union Square. Let’s take you there from the beginning.


I got to know how life here is in general for the general people, which you might think is obvious, but I may not be that sure. Okay, to start with, the weather yesterday was rainy. My Thulmamu and I went together, we took umbrellas and headed out. Bro, walking on the streets of NYC always feels like developing your inner confidence, and the fact that every individual here seems to be so beautiful in their own way is another prime example. It’s not how you look, but how you feel from within.


When I was on the subway, I saw a girl who had shaved her eyebrows completely and had a crazy fashion sense, but believe me when I say it, she looked drop-dead gorgeous. It’s her; it’s her who is pretty, and the fact that she is so confident about herself had me, had my attention, and something I learned from within as well. 


You will find every kind of individual, and all of them are beautiful in their own way, proving once again it’s always how you feel and not how you look.


You know, I had said before people mind their own business here. I kinda miss people who do not, lmao, simply missing people on the other part and also enjoying people over here. So far, I love America and Americans, ahah.


And where was I? Yes, I went on the metro to Manhattan and the malls there. One thing that’s really fascinating is the system, the proper one—the courtesy and politeness. You don’t have to rack your head up because of something that lacks a system. Even on the buses and subways, it kinda feels like, where were we living? When we see the big buildings here, you know, you kinda question your existence—where am I, and where do I stand? And then you feel small, but really, feel small from what? These buildings? These skyscrapers? Our earth is a lot bigger than that, and after earth, it’s our solar system, the galaxies, the universe. Lmao, it’s a never-ending thing. You will never, ever stop feeling small this way; better feel small with the universe at least. When things go wrong, you can tell yourself, do I even matter? oh, sorry. Does it even matter?


Yeah, so where was I? And then I went to Union Street. It was real cold yesterday, slightly raining. We had our lunch in a park. It was peaceful yet chaotic. Probably the place was a chaos, but my heart was at peace as if I was enjoying every drop of rain over the benches in the park. The breeze that went straight through my body, lmao, feeling tranquil is all I know.


Wait, I have to say this.


So, we were at the mall basically, and I saw this sign. Just go to the picture I have uploaded, yes, the second one. Just go and see it, and then come back to read *HERE* so that you won’t be interrupted. I am such a good writer, lmao.


Yes, so when I saw this, I was like, is this even needed? What rubbish, only a stupid one would need caution for the stairs as well. And I tripped while going down '_' . I felt embarrassed with myself, like lmao. Or wait, I was thinking, why did I think of it so much? Was it a sign that I was gonna fall? The universe was passing me energy or something? Or is it because the universe wanted to give a punishment or something like that for questioning, lmaoo.

I am such a drama.

This will be it for today.

see ya:)




yes the second one is right below
