What if this imagination is just a ticket away!

When I was folding the laundry. To be precise.. Masthu kaali unde battalu martestunde. So yeah, I was wondering what if the only clothes we have for the month are in our backpack! What if all the emotions we feel are carefully packed in Spotify and injected into us via earphones every now and then, when the breeze hits the face! What if all the hot coffee or chai you have is not on a lazy Sunday in your bed but with a beautiful green view! The strong caffeine smell or the boiling bliss of chai-patti on the hilltop! What if the only thing that runs is your bike and not your mind! What if the roar of the bike excites your heart not just some century from Virat or a groundbreaking goal from Ronaldo.

I politely deny and barely acknowledge the word beautiful just because I choose to think that I ain't beautiful. Today, It just took me a second to think that I am beautiful. I remember the days I covered my face when my best friend tried to click my pictures. I remember the days when I twirled in my jeans. (Yeah material girl). I remember me wearing the white and blue satin frock and my mom called me pretty. I remember the look on my father's face every damn time I try on a new dress. I remember the day I wore a saree at my sister's wedding. I've been beautiful then ...
