Summertime Sadness

-

 

How many of you feel sad when the school closes for summer holidays, but then feel sad again, when the school reopens?

I'm presently on summer break from my second year of college. Thank goodness we don't have vacation classes because the heat would have killed us. I am having so much fun this vacation, thanks to #BlogChatterA2Z. I have also begun taking guitar classes and bought a guitar recently. Learning to play a new instrument is the best way to refresh your soul. Although it's the hottest summer ever, I feel cool on the inside.

All of my summer vacations would either include me doing absolutely nothing at home or going to cousins'/friends' homes. There have been summer vacations with trips too. I am not a particular fan of summer; winter is my favorite season. What I do love about summer is that it brings mangoes along with it. My house is surrounded by mango trees, and on summer, the gardens would be filled with mangoes. On the months of April and May, breakfast would consist of chapati and mangoes. The combination sounds odd, doesn't it? But I assure you nothing tastes better. Do give it a try. 

Summer holidays are a time for soul-searching. Most of the times, you don't even have to do anything. Just spending a lot of time alone, helps you learn a lot about yourself, knowingly or unknowingly. It is also a time for new experiences. Let me share a very fun experience I had last week. 

Last Saturday, I watched an anime movie titled Suzume. It was my first time watching an anime movie on the big screen. It was an unforgettable theatre experience. The audience was hyped up before the movie even began. They started calling out anime references like 'Yowai mo', 'Ara ara', 'Dattebayo' and character names like 'Eren Yeager'. I had goosebumps all over my body. As for the movie, it was yet another Makoto Shinkai masterpiece. The entire audience clapped after the movie. 

I am already sad that April is coming to an end. May will be over in the blink of an eye, and I'll have to go to college again. Thinking of times when I didn't even have summer holidays due to exams or special classes, this vacation is going smooth like butter, and being able to write about it makes it much better. I feel like I may have grown a special liking for summer this year.

Oyasumi Punpun

Manga review Long, lonely lanes are all I see while I walk home to Punpun. I open the manga, flip the pages, see familiar faces stare into my soul. The air is stiffening, oh, so is my heart, as Punpun lies in his tub pondering over existence. Had I been the mangaka, I'd've colored him blue. He'd be soaring heights without the aid of the sky. I fell asleep trying to connect the stars of a constellation that he loves. I heard him whisper, "What's the point?" Or was it the echo of my own screams? How I wish he was real. I'd have a twin. Everyone would. 'cause Punpun is me. Punpun is you. Punpun is every single one of us in our rawest forms. Oyasumi, Punpun.   Oyasumi Punpun  is a manga written and illustrated by Inio Asano covering themes like depression, loneliness, and the absurdity of life.

  Sweeping my head to find the best memory only to fail miserably and realize that you dwell in my heart. Mef my F.R.I.E.N.D from forever-land   Funky with  a bright brain that loves the rain and a soul that leans to the moon spreading the same light on a dark day. A solid storyteller who only speaks the language of love and types tales  of kindness into who knows how many minds... Apologies and arigatos for your willingness to be McQueen  when my dramatic self goes on a Mater track or to be Kageyama when my inner Hinata acts up. May every flower dance with you while you make sakuras bloom for me and I sing these lines.

Cocoon

Micro poetry  I envy my future self that will rise  from the ashes  of a past torched by  the spark  of vindication I ignited inside me. As of now,  I am content being in this cocoon  of grey, black  and white that I created for me. Both of which keeps me away from my present self that befriends lies and contempt to survive.
