My Crackheads family: Home away from home

Dear God

Sample this:

हम टुटेसिरों की राम राम। क्या है कि रोज़ सुबह हमको जो Gud Morning प्राप्त होते हैं.. बड़े boring हैं इसलिए अब हमारा वाला Gud Morning देख लीजिए। Style पिंकी aka गुलबिया का है हम पूरी बेशर्मी के साथ कॉपी किए हैं


Gud Morning message:

शुभ सुबह💜😘👻🤪🙈🤩😘🤔🙄🤨😛🤓🤨😚🤨🙂😗😏🥳😗😜🤩🥳😏😒😠😶‍🌫😤😡😶‍🌫😖😥🤥🤭🤬😱🤭😧😐😦😓😐


इसका जवाब:

एक purple दिल था जिसको चुम्मी मिली फिर वो भूत और पागल बन गया और शर्मा भी गया। उसकी आँखों मे तारे चमकने लगे फिर चुम्मी मिली। वो सोचने लगा और फिर irritate हुआ फिर भूत की ओर प्रश्नवाचक निगाह से देखा। भूत ने इंसानी रूप लेकर जीभ चिढ़ा दिया। फिर उसको चस्मा लग गया फिर प्रश्नवाचक निगाह फिर सीटी फिर प्रश्नवाचक। भूत सीधा ही स्माइल किया फिर smirk, सीटी फिर party फिर सीटी फिर आंख मारा ( छिछोरे!) फिर आंखों में तारे फिर party फिर smirk फिर राशि वाला expression फिर गुस्सा। अब चांद छुपा बादल में। बैल वाला गुस्सा, लाल मुंह वाला तेज़ गुस्सा, फिर छुपा nervous हुआ झूठा फिर हंसा गाली दिया ( गन्दा लड़का हुंह) haai raam फिर हंसा बेशरम फिर डर गया फिर शिवि का प्रेम फिर डरा, nervous हुआ फिर शिवि वाला फिर उसका दिमाग उड़ गया फिर nervous हुआ और किसी से न कहना


And this:

Who is Vimla? Mystery resolved:

 

Now you are going to think, what madness is this? This is The Crackheads for you… one most random mix of people who came together and became friends for life 😊.

One unbreakable bond of selfless love and care…and communication. The most random words which mean gibberish to you but to us they matter the most. Okay let’s begin from the beginning:

We started with fanmily: Ankiyans* and Animaz* and then became friends forever to each other. We have all been through difficult times and yet here we are. Sometimes I think of the journey we have all covered throughout our lives and now with each other. The incredible stories we have shared with each other are all tales of love, loss, suffering and then learning to love yourself all over again. When I think of how far we have come, I can only wonder at the progress, their growth and the way they now handle life. 

We are all so damaged and this friendship is like a gentle breeze in the face of our open wounds. There have been so many days when we have laughed, cried, shared, cared and then compared battle wounds too.

Life albeit difficult has become a joyride and a promise of endless love. I wish we all are there with each other throughout this journey called life.

The most interesting thing about Crackheads is Now we have two very special members in it. In my wildest dreams I had never imagined that one day Anku and Garima would be a part of Crackheads - that was the day I literally cried tears of joy. 

With you Crackiz, every day is a blessing.

Saranghae, Borahae, Always

Corporate Blues: Appreciations Galore

 

Dear God

Sample this:

One sweet voice, beautiful appearance and carefully chosen outfit. People in awe of the way you are, praising, admiring, clearing your way, handling your obstacles and loving you with all their hearts, sharing and caring and endless conversations. Suddenly being appreciated for all that you are and all that you do.

At times, I wonder am I the same person or is this some alternate universe where I stepped in? How could I be so good when I have been considered so bad… worse even. I can’t forget that last year I experienced the biggest setback in my career and personal life. And yet here I am!!!

Where the hell was this fighting spirit all this while? I could have had this positivity earlier also na, God? Why now, and how? If I get to know, I would be able to help people who are feeling not so positive in their life. Is it really all there in the mind only? Or is there something the world has to do? What was it that made it difficult for me to even get out of bed? What is it that now helps me wake up with a smile on my face and twinkle in my eyes.

Its not like my difficult days have disappeared altogether. I still go through tough times. Yet somehow in my heart I know this is not going to last forever. There is a light at the end of the tunnel.

When I think of that time now, it seems so far away …. All that has been wiped from my mind as if it never existed. Yet in the back of my mind I know, that phase was there… It was a time when nothing worked. Today it seems as if everything is just working for me.

One thing which held me through all this is a bunch of friends – The Crackheads. Crackheads deserve an article of their own. The way they took me through these difficult times, constantly appreciating, helping, making jokes, holding hands, going through difficult times together. We have a long way to go and:

I am no longer alone.

Auf Weidersehen my furry friend

Dear Fruity

Meri fruita my baby, my jaan – whoever owns a furry friend would probably understand what I am going through. Those who don’t – just think of someone dear to you, aged around 3 years old and with all the innocence in the world. Someone whose loyalty is absolute and intention so pure.

Think of someone who will act like the universe revolves around you and that you are the Sun and they the earth. Think of love so pure, it will melt the hardest of hearts. Think of companionship, think of acceptance and absolute honesty. Think of childish questions and being happy in the smallest little things. Think if the words ‘Always there for you’ had a face and name it would be your furball, your dog, your adorable goofy kid. Yes kid! Being a dog parent is nothing short of being parent.

What happened yesterday is every pet owner’s horrible nightmare yet when it comes true…. I would not wish this upon anyone at all.  I am going back in time when I used to have Duffy my mix bred…. First dog in the family.

And now we lost you to reasons unknown. Fruity my lovely child please come back in the form of another furball I can love and cherish. Thank you for the time, love and attention you gave me. Thankyou for the love, care and happiness I experienced with you my baby. Moreover, thanks for all the small goofy silly puppies you gave birth to one of whom is Chiku.

Now I miss him more than ever, wish I was with him now. Will get him here soon in front of my eyes and I promise one thing to you –

In future I will try to spend as much time as possible with both Winky and Chiku. I know their time on earth is so... so… brief but it is up to me to make the most of it. To fill these days with beautiful memories and absolute love. The same love that they offer I can return in teeny tiny proportions.

And when the time comes for the rainbow bridge – I will wait till we meet again.

Love you

*Auf Weidersehen - See you again (In German)
