Reading and writing is how I find calm in my life.

2026 started on such a crappy note...and it continues to spiral down for worse...I hope I can be strong and resilient to get through it...and come out without being beaten down too much !!

[paruljain @paruljain]

And so it begins !! I hope I have the strength and resilience to see it through!!

What do I truly enjoy...about a conversation with a friend on how to respond..listening to so many voices around me and thinking..what do I really want to talk about ..and most importantly..to whom??

[paruljain @paruljain]

The mountains called...I hesitated for a while..then gave in..because I needed a break!! Even though my social battery has been completely drained, I am trying to steal some me time among this...which has given me some time to do some thinking...about where do I fit in..

[paruljain @paruljain]

I so wish ...you had the courage to say yes, and I had the guts to say no.

When you are racing to finish a library borrowed book on your kindle before it is auto-returned, and then just when you are about 40 pages away from finish line, the auto-return wins...yeah that feeling 😬

Baby steps... literally and figuratively!!

Jinxed myself yet again !! Happens all the time...when I talk about something too much...and yet I never remember !!

[paruljain @paruljain]

Delhi = my dil ka sukoon...trip back home always calms me down...shows on my anxiety levels, my health numbers, my sleep !! However rushed this trip was, was more than worth it !!!

[paruljain @paruljain]

Parenting...such a tough job...you do hundreds of things right and never take the credit..and mess up on one thing..you beat yourself like nothing !! Sigh..I hope I can learn to be kinder to myself !!!

[paruljain @paruljain]

Telling someone how exactly you feel about them is an art...and not just in romantic relationship..even for friends, sisters, parents and kids !! Expressing your feelings takes courage but also is an art.

Silently observing and analyzing people is my new hobby #judgemeallyouwant

[paruljain @paruljain]

You could fade away and no one would notice ...

[paruljain @paruljain]

Disappointed by those who I used to think of as "my people"

[paruljain @paruljain]

Going back and reading this made me realize how cathartic that outlet and blog space of mine used to me for me.

[paruljain @paruljain]

This was something I wrote sometime ago and I often think about it...I wrote it down in one go, not even saving a draft version ... because a particular moment triggered somethings and I had to get it out. https://t.co/QZyZpmzwpW.

Thank you for writing this... I am going to hold this story very close to my heart for a long time...for reasons I possibly cant explain...unless I find mine to whom I yell "Tomorrow"

[paruljain @paruljain]

Some books stay with you, some stories stay with you...because they touch a chord somewhere... replicate something that you have been feeling yourself...or something that you feel very strongly about. "My Friends" by Fredrik Bachman is one of those.
