Just a Letter!

Dearest Aditi, Drinking tea? I bet you are. How are you doing? I did not wish to start the letter with such cliche questions but now that this year 2020 has taught me that these cliche questions are what make one's lives and relations healthy and worth living, I will continue to ask. Hopefully, you are joyful while reading this letter and have a lot to share with me, unlike the days when you sit gloomily near a window or breathing under an open sky, flying high amidst the sunshine. Because if the latter is the case, I know how heavy your heart must feel after reading this question and you would have wanted badly to share a lot, still. Just one thing, dearest Aditi, do share and do speak. Liberate yourself from the shackles of the past and live. Do you still cry on your birthday and feel claustrophobic? Did you reach to the roots and found out why? Oh! You did already. Are you doing something to mend it? 2020 had a lot to teach and it certainly did. Months passed by. Quite slowly an

  ''The art is always open to interpretations.'' Back in school days we all have witnessed the questions where we were asked what the author wished to convey or depict through the poetry or the story.

Now, when I write poetry and stories myself and make a few people read them, they come up with several interpretations -completely different from mine. It is good to see that they yet are open to interpret things though, unlike many deadly alive grown-up souls. This short-animated movie ( https://youtu.be/E4BhEBaeQdg ) is open

  It is almost September,2020 and I am here, again. Although I am not much into music, or you may say that I am but I do not listen to every other song every day. Everyone has their own kind of 'escape' and 'space'. Mine is writing, debating, discussing, working for a cause and alike. Listening to music is not a go-go option for me always. I like listening to music and watching movies -but not always and 'just anything'. I finally downloaded Spotify. Prior to that, I was relying on gaana.com, radio and YouTube. I am glad about this song -Okinawa (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzHOPckFmwc)- that it is there on Spotify. I do not have to download this song in the video form anymore. I listened to this song back in 2019. I did not search for this song. I didn't even know the band's name (now 'am glad that I do). It was just a 'random' song that I came across back in 2019. And to my surprise, it has made a special space for itself in my life. I
