Loud, lost and full of love

 Hear me out. No matter how messy the world gets,no matter how many disasters, heartbreaks, or broken phone screens we go through love and kindness always find a way. Like that random weed growing out of a sidewalk crack. Uninvited, lowkey annoying, but kind of inspiring.


There’s this one story that lives rent-free in my brain. An old woman lost her dog during a tornado. Whole place was torn apart. She’s standing in front of her destroyed house, talking to a news reporter, heartbroken and out of nowhere, her dog just walks out of the rubble. All casual. Like, “Hey, I just did a boss fight with Mother Nature. Got snacks?” And the woman just breaks down crying, hugging her dog, and honestly? Same. I would’ve cried too. I probably did cry. (We don’t talk about that.)


And that, my friend, is why I believe in love. Even if the world is falling apart like a cheap plastic chair, there’s always some random, heartwarming thing that reminds you, humans can still be decent.


Now, let’s talk about me for a sec. I’m not exactly calm. Think of a clumsy capybara with Wi-Fi. I trip over flat surfaces, I talk too loud, I laugh at the wrong moments, and I’m always in a dramatic headspace like I’m the main character in a music video during a thunderstorm. I also have this weird habit of randomly hitting or bullying people not in a mean way, more like I just bop them for no reason. Like, I'll be walking by and just give you a little tap or shout something sarcastic because it’s funny to me (don’t worry, I swear it's all love). It’s chaotic, it’s unnecessary, but it’s just how I roll. And somehow, I still believe in people. I believe in second chances. I believe in helping someone even if your own life’s a mess. That’s what makes life kind of beautiful, right?


People say being soft is weak. Nah. You know what’s actually weak? Acting like nothing matters. Pretending not to care just to seem cool. But caring? Loving even when you're tired? Being kind in a world that tells you to toughen up? That’s real strength. That’s superhero stuff right there.


Life is chaos. There’s war. There’s climate change. There’s your phone dying at 2% when you need to send that last meme. But even in the middle of all this mess, we still find ways to love. We still rescue dogs. We still check on our friends. We still cry at videos of babies laughing. That’s the magic.


And maybe that’s the whole point. Maybe we’re not meant to be perfect or chill all the time. Maybe we’re meant to be messy and loud and soft and strong all at once. A mix of yelling and hugging and tripping and helping someone get back up.


So yeah, I’m chaotic. I’m loud. I yell a lot but I’d also give you my last piece of gum, hold your hand through the storm, and help you look for your dog.


Because even if I am a walking disaster… I’m the kind that still believes in love.


Always.

PROLOGUE: The Great Blur — A Symphony of Silent Thought

 Ever been so far inside your head that the world outside starts to fade like a half-erased chalkboard? Not your typical “oops, zoned out in class” kind of thing. No. I mean completely gone. Like someone slowly turned the volume of life down to zero and all that’s left is the echo of your own thoughts. And even they don’t feel like yours anymore. They feel smarter. Wiser. Too heavy to have come from you. Almost like your brain borrowed them from a library that only opens when your soul’s on fire. It starts small. A blink too long. A breath too deep. You’re staring at a wall, but it’s no longer a wall. It’s a movie screen for your mind to project the chaos it’s been hiding. Your eyes are open, but they’ve stopped seeing. People are talking. Life is moving. But you? You’re stuck in a thought that doesn’t have edges. It goes on and on. And you fall into it like Alice, except there’s no Wonderland. Just the truth. And the truth is… terrifyingly beautiful. Because in that moment, you’re...

Whispers that stayed.

 One day, like any other, I went on a run till the Lalbagh Botanical Garden. Running had become a sort of ritual for me a way to feel alive, to push myself, to be alone with my thoughts yet surrounded by the world. I love sunrises and sunsets, the way they slowly take over the sky, painting everything in warmth. I love the stars and the moon, the way they watch over us in silence. Nature has always felt like home to me,the lakeside, the rustling leaves, the calming roar of a waterfall. And most of all, I love people and their stories. That’s probably why I enjoy talking to people so much hearing about their lives, their triumphs, their losses. But the ironic thing? The moment someone asks about me, I go on a tangent. I distract them, lead the conversation somewhere else. Not because I don’t have stories.I have plenty but because I don’t know why I never want to "open up" that well when it's about me. It’s annoying, really. I’ve been told that. And yet, here I am, always s...

How to Outwork the Noise

 Some people chase peace like it’s a prize,others just build it inside their silence and guard it like a dragon. The world’s obsessed with being seen, but the funny thing is, the ones who actually do something worth seeing are usually too busy to wave their arms for attention. Funny how the loudest ones usually have the least to say, right? See, hard work isn’t romantic. It’s not a montage. It’s messy, ugly, repetitive. It’s the sound of you talking yourself out of quitting at 2 a.m. when your dreams look more like delusions. The people who make it aren’t magical, they’re just the ones who didn’t fold when the world got loud. Spoiler alert,there’s no background music when you’re dying inside but still grinding. Focus is rebellion. In an age where everyone’s screaming, choosing silence is almost violent. You stop feeding the noise, and the noise starts panicking. It’s hilarious. Everyone wants to know why you’re so calm, why you’re not reacting, why you’re not explaining yourself to...
