a romantic ritual 💌🪷

The connection beyond screens 🤌🏻

So, the act of writing letters to each other began a few years ago.🪷

                     [ Isn't it a wonderful thing ??? ]

In today's fast-paced digital era, where people can instantly message each other to convey their thoughts and communicate, we sometimes opt to express ourselves through heartfelt letters.

✍🏼 This art of writing love letters may appear to be a quaint and old-fashioned gesture, but we find true joy in it. Observing the smile on the recipient's face as they unfold our letter, and especially as they read through it (since we play the roles of each other's postmasters too , we get to witness this also) it's actually an incredibly beautiful feeling. The meticulous care with which the other person has crafted those words that can deeply touch the innermost recesses of our hearts is truly remarkable.

 💌 These letters are more than mere ink on paper; they often capture raw and unfiltered emotions. They serve as heartfelt expressions that can spin a narrative of romance, yearning, and a connection unlike any other.

{ These handwritten letters transform into timeless keepsakes that can be cherished for years to come. Whether safely stored in a drawer or proudly displayed on a wall, a love letter acts as a constant reminder of the special bond shared between two individuals. And undoubtedly, they stand as a symbol of love that remains engraved in our hearts for eternity }

💗 Eagerly waiting for my postmaster to bring me another

•  A HUGE WALL INSIDE MY HEART  : 

The feeling of betrayal is one of the worst things a person can experience. It is a feeling of being let down, of being disappointed by someone you thought you could trust. It's the feeling of being stabbed in the back by someone you thought was on your side. Betrayal shatters the trust that is at the heart of any relationship, and it can take years to rebuild that trust once it has been broken.

 It starts with small lies, little things that you might not even notice at first. But over time, those lies add up, and the person who you thought you knew begins to show their true colors. And when the truth finally comes out, it's like a punch in the gut. You feel sick, and you wonder how you could have been so blind.

Healing from betrayal is a journey, not a destination. It takes time, patience, and a willingness to let go of the hurt and pain. It's about learning to trust again, both in yourself and in others. It's about finding the strength to forgive, even when it feels impossible. 

Trust denied :

It can be a painful and challenging experience. Trust is an essential ingredient in any relationship, be it personal or professional. It is the foundation upon which we build our connections with others, and it forms the bedrock of our sense of security and safety. However, what happens when trust is denied? When we are unable to trust those around us, it can be a deeply unsettling and painful experience that can leave us feeling alone, vulnerable, and unsupported.

• SAME OLD COLORED , STAINED GLASSES: 

BETRAYAL ~ 

• Betrayal is one of the most devastating experiences a person can endure. Whether it comes in the form of deception, or broken promises, betrayal can shatter our trust in others and leave us feeling alone and isolated. However, healing from betrayal is possible.

It's essential to give yourself permission to feel whatever you're feeling, whether it's anger, sadness, or confusion. Bottling up your emotions or denying them can prolong the healing process and make it more challenging to move forward. Instead, allow yourself to feel your emotions fully and express them in healthy ways, such as talking to a trusted friend or therapist or engaging in creative activities like writing or art. Healing from a  betrayal takes time. It's essential to give yourself the space and time you need to process what has happened fully. This may involve taking a break from the relationship or situation that caused the betrayal ,there will be ups and downs along the way. It's okay to take breaks and come back to the healing process when you feel ready.

 

• LOOKING THINGS WITH A FRESH OUTLOOK :

FORGIVENESS ~  

Forgiveness is an essential part of healing from betrayal, but it doesn't mean forgetting what has happened. Forgiveness involves releasing the anger and resentment you may be holding onto and moving forward with a sense of compassion and understanding. However, it's important to set healthy boundaries and protect yourself from further harm. Forgiveness doesn't mean allowing the person who betrayed you to continue to hurt you or placing yourself in a vulnerable position. 

Projecting my fears and experiences... 🌠

The truth is, we won't always end up with those we feel something deep and meaningful with . Some chapters of our lives are full and dizzying in the best way - with concrete endings and concrete closure. But some chapters end quickly, sometimes in the middle of the page,sometimes before we are even ready .

We simply cannot control what comes to fruition in our lives. We cannot control how long someone chooses to stay. At the end of the day , all we can do is learn from the endings . 

And , all we can do is embrace the fact that for a moment in time, we felt something beautiful. For a moment in time , we felt something rare. 🤍

An Old soul trapped in a Millennial's Body 👀

• Is your music library full of songs that were released      decades before you were born???

• Do you feel like an outcast when your friends go out    

  clubbing???

• Do you have a hard time dating because you don’t            understand weird millennial dating habits like                    ghosting???

If you answered with a yes to all these questions, congratulations, my friend, you’re an old-soul... 🙃 

Many people feel like they are an "old soul trapped in a millennial's body," meaning that they have an appreciation for the past, a different outlook on life, and a desire for more meaningful connections than what modern society seems to offer.

Being an old soul means that you feel a connection to a bygone era. You may feel like you were born in the wrong time period or that you would have fit in better in a different era. You might have a fascination with history, literature, or art that is no longer valued in today's world. You may find yourself drawn to the simpler things in life, such as spending time outdoors, reading books, or enjoying quiet moments with loved ones.

But being an old soul in a millennial's body can also be challenging. You may feel like you don't quite fit in with your peers, who are more focused on social media, technology, and material possessions. You may struggle to connect with others on a deeper level, as many people seem more interested in surface-level interactions than in forming meaningful relationships.

However, there are ways to embrace your old soul nature and find a sense of belonging in today's world. Here are a few tips:

🤝🏻Connect with like-minded people: Connecting with others who share your passions can help you feel less isolated and more understood.

🕊️Take time to unplug: Take time to disconnect from your devices and spend time in nature, meditating, or engaging in other activities that allow you to recharge and connect with yourself.

💃Embrace your uniqueness: Don't try to fit in with the crowd if it doesn't feel authentic to you. Embrace your old soul nature and be proud of who you are. 

🫂 Focus on relationships: Instead of trying to make a lot of superficial connections, focus on building deeper relationships with a few people who share your values and interests. 

Being an old soul trapped in a millennial's body can be challenging, but it can also be a gift. 🙌🏻

By embracing your unique perspective and connecting with others who share your passions, you can create a fulfilling and meaningful life that honors your old soul nature.

A unique personality trait 💁🏻‍♀️

Being an introvert is often misunderstood as being shy, anti-social or unapproachable. But in reality, introverts simply thrive in environments that are less stimulating and prefer to recharge by spending time alone or in quiet spaces.

Introverts tend to be introspective, reflective and deep thinkers. They are often observant, analytical and have a great capacity for empathy. Introverts can make excellent listeners and are often skilled at giving thoughtful advice.

While some people may view introverts as lacking in social skills or being antisocial, this is not necessarily the case. Introverts may have smaller social circles, but they tend to have deeper and more meaningful relationships with those they are close to. They may also enjoy socializing, but may feel drained by prolonged periods of interaction and need time to recharge their batteries.

If you are an introvert, it's important to embrace your personality and find ways to thrive in your own way. This may involve finding quiet spaces to work or reflect, seeking out meaningful conversations with close friends, or pursuing hobbies that allow you to recharge and be yourself.

Ultimately, being an introvert is a unique and valuable aspect of your personality that should be celebrated, rather than stigmatized or misunderstood.

Chenab bridge: An engineering Marvel 🙌🏻

🚞The Chenab Bridge, also known as the Chenab River Bridge, is an engineering marvel located in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir. 

It is a railway arch bridge that spans the Chenab River at a height of 359 meters above the river bed, making it the highest rail bridge in the world.The bridge is a part of the 111-kilometer-long Katra to Banihal railway line, which is a part of the Jammu-Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Rail Line project undertaken by the Indian Railways. The construction of the bridge began in 2004 and was completed in 2019, taking almost 15 years to complete.

The bridge is designed to withstand high-velocity winds of up to 260 km/hour and seismic activities of up to 8.0 magnitude on the Richter scale.The bridge is constructed using an innovative technique called the "incremental launching method," where the bridge is constructed in segments on both sides of the river and then launched and joined in the middle. This technique helped to reduce the time required for construction and also minimized the impact on the environment.

🚞 The bridge has a sleek and elegant design that blends well with the surrounding landscape. The arch of the bridge is designed in the shape of an "M," which represents the initial of the river Chenab. 🙌🏻

🚞 The construction of the Chenab Bridge is a significant achievement for the Indian Railways and the entire nation. The bridge has not only reduced the travel time between Katra and Banihal but also improved connectivity to the remote areas of Jammu and Kashmir. The bridge has also helped to boost tourism in the region, as it offers breathtaking views of the Chenab River and the surrounding mountains.

In conclusion, the Chenab Bridge is a testament to human ingenuity and engineering excellence. The bridge is an outstanding example of how innovation and determination can overcome even the most challenging of obstacles. It stands as a symbol of progress, connecting people and communities, and ushering in a new era of development in the region.

A Feast to ones eyes 🌼

However not being a big movie or television fan; I have a very strict choice of what I watch on screen. I love to see and listen to quality stuffs.

                   🍂 Zindagi Gulzar Hai 🍂

 What a serial it was. I must admit – I fell in love with Pakistan's TV industry.  🙌🏻

Just in 26 episodes – i.e. approximately 20 Hrs; they had completed the series; but at the end of it; we never felt the story was rushed through or they missed out on anything. It had everything – a good looking Hero; a beautiful Heroine , a rich family and their lifestyle, a lower middle class struggling family and their difficulties, Love and Romance, Ego and misunderstanding, social issues around women and class/status. It was correctly paced. Even without displaying any kind of physical or intimate scenes; one can feel the intense romance between Zaroon and Kashaf. The relationship between siblings, friends, couples, parents and children – everything has been so well portrayed; that one can’t avoid falling in love with every character in the serial.

Role of Kashaf Murtaza was played by Sanam Saeed and she is a normal girl with whom one can easily relate to. Similarly Zaroon Junaid played by Fawad Khan is a character who is a little conservative despite of belonging to a rich class family; Every single person has acted fabulously well. 

After watching Zindagi Gulzar Hai; I can now believe that one can make decent non boring romantic dramas with a lot of intensity without requiring to have any pornographic shots. 

🌼Heartfelt thanks to each and every member of Zindagi Gulzar hai for giving us a memorable episode!🌼
