What A Week

Tags: death, Ed McMahon, Farah Fawcett, Life, Micheal Jackson died

You must have heard the news, it is everywhere and it slowed down Google last night. Micheal Jackson has died. We weren’t fans of his music because we used to live in India and we used to be so young. But than why are we writing this post? Because even living in Punjab, India at 8 or 9 years old, when we didn’t much care about what music we liked…we knew of Micheal Jackson. We knew the moonwalk. He was an icon, not just in American but all over the world.

We just feel like, it cannot go unmentioned, something this big. The death of Micheal Jackson.

But, he is not the only icon we lost this week. There’s Farrah Fawcett, who died the same day as MJ just a few hours earlier, eternally etched in our memories of that famous poster and that hair.

And Ed McMahon. Heeeeee’re Johnny would not have been the same without him.

What an impact these people have made to so many people’s lives, but in time their memories will fade. But once in a while, when listening, watching something we’ll remember them and what they left behind. I guess that’s life…and that’s death.

A transcendent experience.

Since, I don’t have school anymore I find it difficult to keep myself busy doing things that are meaningful and productive. Drawing is something I really enjoy and it always makes me happy…it’s a de-stressor for me and I probably never appreciated it as much as I did a few days ago! It was relieving to forget about everything that was happening around me and just concentrating on every pen stroke I made.
Here’s what I did -

We’re done with our bachelor’s degree! We can’t believe this, it started to seem like it would never happen, but here we are…done!! WE ARE DONE!

Of course, that satisfaction of finishing didn’t really last long, as it’s hard to ignore the elephant in the room…the future. Hopefully, it’s what we want it to be…all we can do is…do everything in our power to get what we want!

She Lingered

Tags: autumn, John, rainy day, very short story

It was raining furiously when he saw her. Sitting on a park bench seeming like a fresh, crisp and clear autumn day, but drenched still. In a black dress, bare foot. And just like that she had vanished.

She lingered in his mind. She lingered.

“Happy birthday man!” said John. It was his birthday. John had been trying to divert his attention from whatever, whoever had it. He had seemed distant for days now.

Concerned, John planned only a small gathering. With close friends.

They went. His mind was somewhere else, immersed in her thoughts. There was laughter, familiar banter. And it was quite.

He excused himself to get some air. It was raining furiously and there she was. In the black dress, barefoot, fresh, crisp and clear as an autumn day, drenched still.

She was running, heels in hand. She came next to him and smiled.

“What a day,” she said.

“Yes. What a day,” he replied. He offered her a drink and they went inside.
