(Where will I find a friend or a friendship like you?)
Sorry for the late updates but late updates generally mean good news ☺️ so don't get worried jinnis. Thanks for caring though!
Day 9 was overly uneventful, nothing worth mentioning. It's celebrated as the birthday of Lord Krishna (Janmashtami) here in India, so I made a quick sketch.

Mr Wizard thought little gopal looks sad so I had to come up with a witty quip. I said, 'His mother must have scolded him for stealing butter.' I put this as my status amd lots of people had a good chuckle. That went well.
I completed the series I was watching 'Kota Factory'. Though I've altesdy grown out of the teenage, still shows are always fun.
As the day dawned into evenings however, the feeling of being trapped increased.

#TRAPPED
The windows speak of freedom, They beckon with promises of hope. Beyond those bars is the world, I need to see, fight with and cope. Trapped in this gilded cage, Protected within these walls four, Suffocated in my own presence, I've forgotten how it feels like to soar. My eyes have gotten adjusted, To seeing bland days and nights, This window has provided escape, From all the monotonous sights. The world outside is unsafe, And yet I don't want to stay wrapped Inside this bubble of safety as always, I feel not safe and secure but trapped.

And during these times I feel like I need people, people to talk but I'm not gonna oing up anyone randomly, so I stood near the window for a while, enjoying the fifth floor breeze amd made myself a cup of 'honey coffee'. Nothing special, just add hobey instead of sugar in the coffee. Didn't taste as bad as I expected 😝
And I say down to study vut my mind was unfocused and wandering. So I wrote a story for a Wattpad contest and that took me some time. Besides I was inspired by Mr Wizard and I do hope he likes it.
Mr Wizard made a lovely Wattpad word art amd I stole it as my wallpaper. It's looking good!
And then Mr Wizard popped up into the TWS magazine WhatsApp group amd soon I was making graphics and we settled into thd comfortable bantering which I so liked. That took away my worries.
Fun fact about me. Whenever I have nothing else to watch on YouTube, I open food decoration videos rhat make absolutely zero sense cause I'm never gonna use those techniques. But the cakes, creames, chocolate icing and frosted flowers, are so soothing and relaxing. Anyone else?
At night I talked to KashishBelikov about a few of the Janmashtami traditions I was unaware of and then obviously food! She's been fasting and was 'hungry like a lion'. But in spite of how much ever I ask her, she likes explaining things to me. That's who we are.
The night dawned cold and soon at 12.00 am I was the Knight in shining slippers, battling a large beetle, with only my psychiatry book as a shield and my notebook as the sword. I hate beetles that creeo into my room at midnight and this one had crawled right into my mosquito net. Ugh!

Finally at 12.45am I dozed off. My sleep schedule is all falling apart I know but the laziness for the entire day, doesn't bring early sleep! So overall the day was a mix of emotions. What made it special was durriza
Mr Magician was indirectly picking on me by telling how difficult it is to mentor graphic designers. So I too played along and said, I'll leave and then he can do magazine designing himself. And amidst the bantering, durriza said, 'Designers like you are plenty Shreya, but where can I find a friend like you?'
Though I waved it off at that moment, the lines stuck me. I had always thought people are replaceable. She said, 'Add one more word to your dictionary, IRREPLACEABLE' and that made me happy. That someone finds me irreplaceable in their lives.
That brings me to the song for today, which she was adding as a background music for the conversation
Yaara Teri Yaari Ko By Kishore Kumar
Mere dil ki ye duaa hai Kabhi door tu na jaaye Tere bina ho jeena Woh din kabhi na aaye Tere sang jeena yahan Tere sung mar jaana Yaad karegi duniya Tera mera afsaana
(There's only one prayer in my heart, That you don't go away, And that I don't have to see a day, Where you don't exist in my life. I want to live with you, The world will remember The tales of our friendship)
