Wild memories without the grass !

As the times just keep getting tougher and tougher mentally, bonds tend to get tested to their extreme. At this time, how would new ones spring up. This is where three different lives collide, none of which was destined to be longer than a month probably. So was it a lockdown, an untimely breakup or something as uncertain as the happenings from the past year. Breaking the chain; moving away from never fulfilling love stories or grief that has engulfed each pumping heart still. A lot of them have not made it till so far and the message to them will be in our prayers and sorry for not letting all of us win this battle. So for the other part of survival, here's to a tale of three women not so adjusting to each other's lives till a while back, till the pandemic hit again and made them stuck under a roof, or is it a forced caging indeed. Women tend to think beyond human comprehension possibly and feel too deeply. Their perception and individuality is distinctive and so would each ones' tale be. This one is a narration of one staying away from home for over 14 years' now and these two are the 19th and 20th flat-mates. 

One's the bubbly, crazy and breaking the silence kind. The fact that she broke the week old silence in the place just proved the observation right. Yes, the other one is the silent storm. Let's tag the initial one 'P' and the silent 'S'. So the silent one came knocking in the room on a night which was a usual professional turmoil for me. A couple of hours into the night and the talks just calmed my monotonous work pressure. And there it was, I knew she was the one to make the place lighter and livelier. It didn't take much time to open up and break the ice for the three of us when she entered the common spaces. As for someone who just stepped out of her comfort home for the first time, she is a real spirit. Feeling homesick at this time is the longest lingering feeling for a few months at least. Cheerful soul, at least on the surface; yes possibly does have her own low days too but her attitude to just cry it all out is quite inspirational for someone who chokes in sadness. As for more about her, the social media exposure and expressing myself apart from the blogging, breaks it's own record everyday. At the time when the world around poses negativity, a little happiness with food pictures and sweet birthday celebrations does no harm. 

Oh yes, there are three of us locked-in. I will intentionally use 'locked-in' instead of locked-up or locked-down for the third one grounds us and holds us sane. A super rational adaptable one, calm and composed in each expression, an obvious introvert, ambiguous to strangers, super difficult to interpret but then every woman has her days and for her, don't let her remain hungry or else she will turn fury. There come some people in life who adept to your daily life in the best possible ways, defining their boundaries yet often adjusting to the changing situation and demand of the time so well that you start feeling obliged for their extra efforts. Yes, they do go for the extra mile with baby steps without making others feel special but at the end such people in your life at these times in itself is not just a mere coincidence. She is observant, she takes time to open up and trust but at the end of it, if you open up she will believe in you. Not today, not tomorrow but yes you will feel lucky one day. This might sound too romantic for same sex description, won't steal away her love's affection outpour. Just for now, she is a rare rock who won't break on surface, but has a lot of cracks within the core. And this is not from her graphology, or is it. 

A narration of a three month unexpected locked-in time with two strangers who continue to make it difficult for a stay to remain temporary. Hard times and you bounce upon two extreme strangers to confide in and claustrophobia takes a pause for a while. Times when we all are away from our families, thinking and worrying about them the most; a company like this can just make the stress less, grief easier to bear and each day easier to pass by. 

Three different rooms, closed doors and the three different lives that run behind them. But yes, one common place and what bonds all together; empathy. And a whole lot of care you two. You say it or not, you show it in your own way and the only wish in return from this one - may these both have their own sweet dwellings well settled in with the most talked over person on their phones. They deserve all the love and more. May true love around always finds its way. As for the third one in the wheel, made beautiful permanent memories keeping life in boxes, dirty hostel habits, and more than anything happy times in a city which had nothing more to offer this time. 

Sit with dear ones, and still feel alone. 
There are times when we know our lines. 
For every other day, try trusting a stranger girl. 
There aren't many who know how to make you cry.
