I miss you.

-from your granddaughter, Shuchita Shukla.

. 

Been almost three years without you. The heart still doesn’t accept the fact that you are no more, because I know you’re always there Nana. I have felt your presence even after you are gone and will always feel so; you reside in me. A part of me is you. 

To the best grandfather the world will ever witness, I MISS YOU. I miss you, every day. I will always have a tear in my eye when I talk about you. I will always have a smile when I remember you because you make me feel the proudest. 

You will always be my hero. I have never seen a selfless human like you, in my life. You had a heart of gold. 02/01/2019 is the worst day of our lives. 

All the memories are running in my head, of how you asked me to do well in my exams when we last met, of how you told me you will see me again the last time you were here, of how you wished me the world’s happiness when we last talked on call. 

Watching IPL games is no more interesting because there’s no one who would do the live commentary with me, like you did. Tears will be never-ending when I think about you. Thank you for making my childhood special. Thank you for still coming into my dreams and talking to me. I shall always cherish all the moments spent with you. I MISS YOU!!!!!!! 💔

Life's what you make it.

There are days when you feel like yesterday was better than today, and you want to give up.

It’s okay to feel that way. You have strengths you yourself don’t know about. When you feel like you’re the only one having all the problems but you still get up every morning ; trust me, this makes you way stronger than anyone else. 

It’s okay if you shed a few tears. Absolutely okay and normal. Do not listen to the world, and sometimes don’t even listen to yourself. Just breathe, because this too shall pass. Everything is okay! Don’t exaggerate your problems. 

There’s sunrise you must look forward to, every day. Make a baby smile. Have the tea party you’ve been wanting to have. Read the book you’ve been wanting to read. Cry the tears you’ve been wanting to cry. Everything you do is bliss. You are the most precious thing. Yes, you are. Every problem will fade away. You will be stronger. The sun shall shine brighter. The moonlight will be prettier. It’s all in the head.

Like Miley Cyrus sings : “Life’s what you make it. So let’s make it rock.”

People will forever judge you.

People will forever judge you. 

People will judge you if you are thin, if you are thick, if you shrink, if you gain. People will judge you if you are dark, if you are fair, if you are brown. 

People will judge you if you top the class, if you fail the test, if you score passing marks. People will judge you if you drink alcohol, if you are a teetotaller, if you are a vegetarian. 

People will judge you if you like Hindi poetry, if you like English movies, if you watch Korean shows. 

People will judge you if you are a girl and you like sports, if you are a guy and you like pink, if you are a transgender and you want a kid. 

People will forever judge you, even if you just sit and do nothing but breathe. 

You might be judging me when I post this. But this is what I feel and shall never be apologetic. Toxicity is not what you need in life. Every day, you grow and learn a lesson. Do whatever your heart says, because "ONE LIFE."  

You Change.

-by Shuchita Shukla

You change everyday. You change every minute, every second. Your thoughts keep on evolving. That’s the first step towards a better mental space I promise.  

You regretted about a decision in the morning, but by evening, your heart sends you a signal that what you did was right. It happens. It always will, and I’m proud of you 🤍 

Let the world say you’re fake, let them say you overreacted but trust me, your emotions are valid all the time. Those who value you , will understand you always. But what if they don’t? That’s when you realise.. nobody else’s opinions matter to you. You are enough to make yourself happy. That’s when you know you’re leading towards sunshine and rainbows 🌈 

Rarest of the rare, a pure heart.

-by Shuchita Shukla

You feel the happiest when you are the reason for someone's smile. You want to love and also to be loved. In this world full of masks, you are that one real face the world needs. Yes you! 

You think you are the one who gets hurt the most. No my dear, it's not the case ; you feel so because you are one pure soul and you expect the world to be likewise. But once you are hurt, you begin to hate yourself, you begin to question yourself, you begin to doubt every word and every action of yours, and you feel "It must have been my fault." Remember, the moment these thoughts overpower your mind, your heartbreaker has already won and I am sure you don't want that. 

Just say "thank you for the lessons" and move on. Never ever stoop down to their level because they are just some souls wishing to be you, wishing to see you cry, wishing to see you hated but but but.. this isn't who you are, right?  Just remember you are blessed by the almighty with such a pure heart. One day you will be rewarded for all your good deeds, for sure. Because the one above us, is watching you. Stay who you are and notice how happy you are in your own little beautiful world. You have no idea how much the world likes you, how much it wants to be just like you. Keep the good vibe flowing.
