Lavender after a Hiatus and here's wishing all the friends a Happy Adventure....

Why this Lavender is silent you asked? Coz I guess this Lavender's got lot on her mind, I guess. Things happening sometimes way out of her grasp, and she is ready to jump to a new dimension anytime now. Yes. As strange as it may sound her life is starting to take strange turns. She is happily excited for the next big adventure.

That being said, every day brings her a challenge. Leaving the home virus free and returning home virus free is the biggest challenge yet. Yes; she has to go. She cannot leave her duties unmet or any of the rocks un-turned. Got to cross every t and dot every i. Amid the chaos she might have crossed few i s and dotted few t s and now she is rummaging through every trump card she got to make it right or make it better. It is every perfectionist's worst nightmare. Yes, she has heard it before.

 This is where I stopped three months ago to justify the silence of Lavender.

Now that not wanting to leave the story untold, I was thinking about going on to a new trajectory of the story where Lavender started writing her new story and her best story so far. Still, she is far away in her story, in a mist and a wild dream, waking up every morning and thinking am I actually here.

Now she heard the news that her bestfriends has started the same journey she starts to remember the past months of adrenaline rush. Yes! it was chaos, but it was totally worth it. She wants to hold her best friend's hand and tell her to carry on with doubts and wonders yet to come. To tell her to have faith in her confidence and to take that big leap knowing that yes, it is scary, but it will be wonderful. Carry on! Hold your head high! it will be ok! rest assured coz Lavender knows that her best friends can and yes they will.. 

In Lavender's case, she chose her wonderland. Her first choice and the best choice. She is so glad she made it there. Coz with all the transitions and challenges she starts to see the beauty and to enjoy the little moments of gratitude that she knew that would always be there. At times she couldn't believe it. It is the pandemic that has dialed down the thrills for her. other than that, she is living it. Yes!  Actually, in total brutal honesty she wouldn't mind few friends. Coz no matter it is the wonderland she misses her collective packs of friends and the times she used to have. All the fun the quirky jokes, she miss those. Coz in the wonderland, without a context it is difficult to interpret some on going long-lived humors. But it is her wonderland. It is a place she couldn’t talk to strangers to her heart’s content but, she receives strangers help and they talk to her once in a while. Even though, it is a story for a another day Lavender will never forget the stranger who sat besides her in the bus and explained the danger of sitting their without holding the railing and who offered his seat to her as soon as a vacant seat was there even though he is much much older than her. See, she knows what’s going on but couldn’t exactly understand every word.

That is the best thing about being in a country you love. You could see the little sparks of happiness in the pitch dark times. You could embrace that so called cultural shock with a loads of "Wooow"s than "Oh shoot"s. That's the beauty of it. You know you meant to be there and rest will fall into place. 

Now, to a one special fellow blogger sister, she was a sister before a fellow blogger. Lavender wants to be there to celebrate, to congratulate and to be the big sister and the BEST friend and to tell her to let the world tell whatever they want coz best is yet to come; and more than anything that "there is an option always!!". She has to chase the happiness she deserves and not to hold back. Bon Voyage!! See you at the Eiffel Tower..!!

Writing from Sri Lanka.........

A drizzle at the dawn brought about an idea for today as it is not going to be a day with scorching hot sun. Then I thought of sleeping a little more as it is going to be the final day of the vacation. After waking up around 9.30 am as usual morning routine I checked my phone for the new texts from friends one group chat has a photo of a church ruins. I thought it to be photos of the Notre-Dame church and then scrolled down to see the most unexpected and tragic event of my whole life. This is not another report, just some thoughts built up as the day went by.

Secret of Lavenders

Previous Today is a Better Day blog is going to be Lavenders Basket from now on...

This Lavender has a secret. One might wonder whether is it a name or an object. Well both; depending on the situation. The change of name came as a option for the long silence and starting anew. Although that particular name has a story to it and story starts like this.

A word on SHINee “Our Page”.

They sing about our page. The same stance we were pausing on for past 190 days. That sad moment which we are still in denial.

While engaging in their hectic tasks they look for him. His light, his illumination. Walking in dark allies, training hard core, they look for that inspiration. That inspiration which was there 190 days ago. Him. That wonderful personality once shone on stage. Today shining in the deep blue sky.

If you want to know why fans are crying for the loss of a celebrity who lives 1000 miles away and probably never get to see.

 In the light of Jonghyun's sudden passing away, I was dumbstruck as every fan around the world and a little bit more since I recently started loving K-pop, SHINee the group and specially Jonghyun. Our celebrity idols we love, we almost treat them as our close neighbors in our hearts, though it never can become true. 

This is why we shouldn't underestimate the power of a Journal.!

At some point of our lives almost every one of us had a beautiful connection with a book. This may be a journal or a diary and it is a most beautiful and an intimate relationship.

Some of us might didn't get a chance to write everyday.

Some of us might have given up the idea just because of the sneak peeks of the family  

or might've even lost the interest along the way.

In my case, although I write, I don't everyday.

My journal has its own name.. ;)

It's not a fancy book with bold letters of JOURNAL ; it's a simple book hiding in the plain sight.

Did you make someone happy today.?

It's been a while, sitting behind a keyboard and typing what my heart says. This blog is 1 year old now. I thank everyone of you for visiting and reading my little scribbles in the cyberspace.  

In this post I would like to address our very own dark places, little snags along the way. We all have our own set of problems. We carry that sac every day upgrading it with a new set of problems. At the same time every one of us think that we are the ones carrying the heaviest load whereas that’s the smallest in the world.

If worries and happiness came in separate packages, what would you choose.?

 You even have the chance to sign up for both packages…

When your confidante/ best friend becomes a blogger;

A blogger/a writer  they are the people who revolve around ideas, or ideas revolve around them. As a person who loves to write I treasure my experiences and also the experiences of others. 
Every tiny bit of writing that flows from the edge of a pencil on a notepad contains those cherished moments of writers. That’s why even a fancy fairy tale or a tragic love story cannot be discarded.

7 things My Best Friend's Better half should Know..

First of all I’m proud to say that I have BFFs.. yeah in plural. It’s intriguing to see them wandering in their relationships hand in hand. I share their happiness wishing more and more happiness to them.

This powerful four letter word can bring drifting girls down to earth and can make guys to see the world in another perspective. Love is what drove Jane to Mr.Rochester from far away & Heathcliff to Catherine from a world far beyond.

These few things listed below, I think every guy should know. They  were gathered from my surroundings and as always feel free to object..
