After so long without any inspiration i sat on my table to write a blog.. As usual got distracted and started to scroll instagram. While scrolling this quote got my attention

Heart wants love, Mind wants success, Soul wants peace!

Let’s explore deep into this.

Our main character, Yathra, is a bookaholic. Currently, she is working as an intern at an IT start-up and completing her last year of a degree in software engineering. She loves to code until she encounters an error. She never codes on Sundays. All her books deserve her Sundays. Basically, she is an introvert.

She has a systematic approach to life to eliminate heartbreaks, pain, stress, and disappointments. In her teenage years, she loved someone and got rejected. This incident made her believe that she didn’t deserve a love story..

In a phase of insecurities and self-doubts, she met Vishu, a graphic designer at her office. Vishu faced a painful heartbreak in his past due to external factors. It remained a scar on his heart and soul. They became friends within a short time through their crisp conversations during break times. Whenever Yathra feels confused, her go-to person is Vishu.

Here is a random conversation they had on a random day!

Yathra: Dood how did you get into a    relationship?

Vishu: What kind of Question is this dood?

Yathra: No dood, i’m just curious how a person choose another person as their better half. Like you choosed megna as yours in the past.

Vishu: i don’t know how exactly give an answer to this question. But whenever i been with her i felt happy. She also felt the same way as me. Why all of a sudden you asking these questions? Something suspicious! Are you into someone?

Yathra: Hahaha, No dood. We had a girls hangout lastweek. There one of my friend revealed she is commited to a relationship. And we all talked about relationships and my other friends prefer arrange marriage after finishing their degree.

Vishu: Dood i really don’t understand what’s wrong in this scenario?

Yathra: While they were talking i just realised i am also 23, and within months i am finishing my degree and getting placements right!

Vishu: Hahaha, Yes dood you are not a kid anymore.. By the way this is what you dreamed for right, Being independent. Go gurl just fly as you wished.

Yathra: I was dreaming about the future without expecting the scarier parts to come up! Next year, my family will start looking for alliances for me..

Vishu: Its a general thing dood.

Yathra: yes Dood but i am afraid!

Vishu: Afraid of what?

Yathra: I’m afraid of ending up with the wrong one! What if the life my parents planned for me isn’t as peaceful as the stories in my books and rom-com movies I’ve watched? What if I end up divorced like our HR, or with a dominant partner like our team lead?

Vishu: wait wait, hold on. If you are afraid of arrange marriage just talk to your parents and if you feel like they never listen just reject the proposals they come up with until you feel satisfied Or else choose love if you feel someone as right, That’s all. Don’t complicate things with your over thinking.

Yathra: Love….. Me.. Dood this is the best humor you ever made. First of all i don’t deserve to be loved, second thing my family oppose it. It will end-up as a tragedy. 

[Erumaiku kooda blue cross irukku, enakkaga josikka uyira irukku, maraththa suthi duet paadi love panna enakkum than aasa irukku… (Yathra blabbering a tamil song lyrics)]             

Love needs more courage, dood, but I think I lack it. On the day she left you, I saw how depressed and sad you were. Suffering by myself is my problem. But if a decision I make could cause someone else to suffer and leave a scar on them, then I don’t want it at all. My family is my priority. Right now, my problem is accepting the fact that my life is not going to be the same as the script I wrote in my mind. The scenes I’ve seen and read in movies and books aren’t going to happen in real life. I may not live like the Instagram reels I saved for no reason.

Vishu: I don’t know what to say, but don’t cry i don’t feel ok to see you like this. Why you think your life gonna be like this, just think in the perspective like “what if it’s turns out to be well”. Like you always say “manifest the good things”.

(Yathra has a crush on Vishu. During Vishu’s lowest point, Yathra was there for him. She tried to fix something she didn’t break) Ok, Yathra’s internship ends tomorrow. In two months, she’ll be finishing her degree and starting a new job in another city. Meanwhile, Vishu is moving abroad next month.
