I want someone to be with me when I ain't with myself, To wake me up in the morning With a 'hey beautiful', To find my weird selfies Either weird or cute, I want someone to tie my shoelaces before I trip, Someone with whom I could jump in rainy puddles, Or be with him with all his cuddles, Telling him how cute he looks, With those specs or even nerdy looks, To tell him that he is hot, And even have with him a vodka shot, I would always be with him, And he should also be a cynophile, I want him to gift me sometimes But will also share the bill with him Care for him when he has a fever, He should bring me chocolates when chumming. Want him to hold my hand, Because my crossing is always bad. It would be us and not me and him. . . - Shruti Thakkar #writingprompts #writersofig #writersofinstagram #writersofmumbai #someone https://www.instagram.com/p/CE9L3xsHoso/?igshid=1j0ctija1k024

At some point in life, one definitely longs for the love of one person. The person who can spend eating 'dal chawal' for the rest of life. The one who can go through anything to save you from things. Even though they are imperfect, they will always try the best for you. Who wants to know you and all the versions of yourself. And even you want them to open up to you the most. The one who says, 'Even if you push me away, I will come back to you.' Even if they are miles away or even on a break, you both should be loyal to each other. As loyalty is the first most thing for a relationship to work. That one person should at the same time think about your parents and treat them as own. And you should also see that other's parents also be equally treated. Trusting each other is also a part and parcel of life. Any fights or any misconclusion should be sorted before going to sleep as then you may never talk about those things. And people that stay permanent are the ones that stay forever. . . - Shruti Thakkar #writingprompts #writersofig #writersofinstagram #writersofmumbai #theone https://www.instagram.com/p/CEtvYg8nmTu/?igshid=1edkszt4mau66

Ganesh Chaturthi will always be everyone's favorite festival. With everything going on, this festival is calming. Every year has been special. A festival where people come home and enjoy the most in those aartis' which are loud and energetic. 'Sukharta Dukharta', 'Jay Ganesh' and even '1, 2 3, 4 Ganpati ka' are the aartis we definitely know. Every day is amazing. But this year it has been unusual. People can't visit houses and the aartis have fewer people. Most of them take virtual blessings and even the prayers are virtual. But Ganpati always makes us happy. And we know that he is here to take all the problems away and even to stop this pandemic. Visarjan is eye-watering because we never want to him to go back, as 'गणपती गेले गावाला... चैन पडेना आम्हाला!' . . - Shruti Thakkar #writingprompts #writersofig #writersofinstagram #writersofmumbai #ganpatifestival #ganeshchaturthi https://www.instagram.com/p/CET_qKUHfdZ/?igshid=1a89arpwsdpyv

What have you done? Even though you did what you wanted career wise. You left so many words unsaid to people. You along with people who backbitched about your friends, you just listened to them and never said those things to that friend. And they thought that even you were indulge in those talks. And eventually left you without letting you give them an explanation. And then your so called trusted friends behind whom you had spent your hours talking to and even listening to. But them, they never listened to yours. And then they left without a word. You did cry then and later started having trust issues. Just because of such fake friends. You even left some disheartened after you broke up with them and they waited for a reason which you never gave. And you still have that guilt. And this was just because you had a bad relationship before where the person left you. And you had to play this karma with someone else who was the most genuine person. And then you never said about your feelings to anyone you liked just because of the scary part, being friendzoned. You have suffered so much and gone through so much. But you still are alive so celebrate your life and do as much as you can. All those depression, anxiety and problems that you face alone is so proud. The mistakes that you have made, is now just your past. You have shown the world that you survived that phase where people haven't figured out life, but you did. And I am proud of you and don't stop loving, just because you loved the wrong person doesn't make love wrong. . - Shruti Thakkar #writersofinstagram #writersofig https://www.instagram.com/p/CD81u7QnDIA/?igshid=1fv5nm0k6vwn7

The place where you can have lot of different feelings is social media. It had so many positive and negative aspects. One can get so many information there. Like from the latest incident happened somewhere to Goswami's so called debate. And you can even find your school friend from 10 years back only if they have an account. And socialising online is so simple. Just texting them or reply to their stories and bam, they text you back. Getting close to a person you know virtually is more possible. As you are still a stranger to them even if you would have talked for hours. But you never know how the person is actually. Not only texting there are so many different things available. Like in whatsapp's statuses to put and you may think the person for whom you have did so much hardwork for finding a video will definitely know that it is for them. But instagram and facebook are the most advance ones. Reels to igtvs they have everything in one app itself. And now the negatives. One has done so much hardwork in clicking a picture. From getting the perfect outfit to matching everything. And then the edits. But there are still people who will constantly demotivate or troll them. 'Oh my god so much makeup. You will be ugly in real life', 'You are so fat why do you even post' or even all the swearing of the world will be in their posts. If the person posts regularly then he is alive and if they dont then people will dm them saying are you even alive. Means because they need to know if you are alive or not, you will have to post something. They could have even called you and asked you about your whereabouts because that reminisces the past. And the part of following and following back, where the person may send you a request and you follow back. Then stalk you, if they dont like you they will unfollow you. Then what was the need to send the request at the first place. And there will be people who actually will be the same in real life as in their socials. But not always. So always accept things in real life rather than in social ones because not everyone is how the same in their real life. . - Shruti Thakkar #writingprompts #writersofig #writersofinstagram #writersofmumbai https://www.instagram.com/p/CD3qLPzns56/?igshid=2g8of83ytm3t

What will be life after covid-19, Some may not be in their teen, Or some may have turned eighteen, Some may think the world may end, And others make trying to make amends, Life will not be easy, Things will get more greasy, The most essential thing will be mask, Because thats the only way we will last. The fun in the schools wont be there, As no one will be able to prank, Or even have the worst class rank. But the nature is the most healed one, With the pollution being none, And the skies being all lovely and pink, No one would even think. But things are going to be different, People will leave their homes only if urgent, There will not longer be hugs, And people will think before a handshake, There will be more meetings formally, And the smiles will not reach someone's eyes. You knew we would have things like these, That god had other plans, And many things may have bans. But now is how we have to live, Social distance and we will survive. . . - Shruti Thakkar #writingprompts #writersofig #writersofinstagram #writersofmumbai #lifeaftercovid19 https://www.instagram.com/p/CDyfmReHKUi/?igshid=1r4p9kfiqiolj

She is in London. And he is in India. Everytime on this occasion they would either surprise each other and gifted each other even though the brother had to gift the sister something. This was their thing. And they would go to their favourite restaurant amd have their favourite parathas from there. But this year they have to celebrate it virtually. And they video called each other and the sister said grinning, 'Happy Rakshabandan to my brother who is actually adopted and still my number one.' He couldn't stop laughing because even though he was adopted he was the elder one. 'Where is my gift, small one?' he missed her so much. And video call wasn't enough on Rakshabandan because he couldn't protect her from anything. And her doorbell rang. There was a parcel outside. It was her favourite brand's merchandise and even a coupon to a restaurant. Their favourite restaurant which had their branch in London too. 'Thank you so much, elder one. Now we can go together even though we have time gap. Now go ask mum for your gift. Even on the occasion where you have to gift me, I had to gift you.' And then his brother had his gift. It were two tickets to Alaska. 'Don't worry this is just a paper one. Once the lockdown gets over I will buy you actual tickets. Since you wanted to see the Northern Lights. And don't say no, this is just for my sister-in-law.' And this is how they could continue their thing even after being miles away from each other. . . - Shruti Thakkar #writingprompts #writersofig #writersofinstagram #writersofmumbai #rakshabandhan https://www.instagram.com/p/CDbWH0rn42o/?igshid=1kdagliaviaht

One can easily say someone you are fat or healthy. But one may never know how the other person will take it. They may stop eating or may ask people whether they look fat. Any type of body, too skinny or bulky, too fat or curvy is only because they are like that. Bodyshaming people is never the answer. What if they are suffering from thyroid or some may be having anorexia. Listening to people saying thinks around them will make them do things they don't even like. They may stop eating their favourite food or start dieting just because people have problem seeing them. Even people saying that lose weight before marriage, otherwise no one would like to marry you. But if someone genuinely likes you then they wont see that you are not the perfect size. They should accept you the way you want. If one like food, they should eat it and not think about what others are saying. Because one can get fat anytime or one may be thin their whole life, but people, they dont change how they think. Even a thin person maybe suffering as they want to gain weight but they cant because of their genetics. So no matter what people think of you, its your body because people may say and go but your body is going to stay with you till you die. . . - Shruti Thakkar #writingprompts #writersofig #writersofinstagram #writersofmumbai #bodyshaming https://www.instagram.com/p/CDTnriQHwPD/?igshid=4168nw0pj2fs

It is very easy to say that forget the past and live in the present. But it never easy to physically forget it. Because every memory with them may remind you of the story behind it and you may go thinking about it deeper and deeper. Like what would it be now if they still were in your lives. Would they be the same? Or would they break you down? You may never know that the sweet innocent person was now nothing but a person no one would want to be with. Everybody may have a type of past. Whether good or worse, abusive or happiest but what pasts makes you learn is that what matters. Whether it weakened you or made you stronger. It could have made you mature or could have made you take things in sarcasm. People would think that wait this person has attitude because you dont talk with others that fast. But when the person gets to know you they will know how kind you are. You could have been an introvert before but it made you more confident and an extrovert. Or it may have made you build your walls higher. You always would have felt weaker before as you were alone but now being alone makes you more powerful inside. The shy person is no more there and instead there is a whole new one. The past is the thing you look upon to. Because when in future you look back to how you were you will know that no matter what, I reached till here and grew from there to how you are now. And never forget to unlock your future. . . - Shruti Thakkar #writingprompts #writersofig #writersofinstagram #writersofmumbai #pastandpresent https://www.instagram.com/p/CDOdYGunYn2/?igshid=67kquarllm6b

Sacrifices or compromises even though they are different words they have almost the same meaning. Sacrifices are when one has to give up things for the sake of something else. A mother giving up the job to take care of the newborn or the father stop drinking or smoking because he doesnt want to affect the newborn. Even though it was a bad thing it was still a sacrifice. We would have heard so much about our parents sacrificing things just so that we are never lacking something we always wanted to have. Your parents will want some new pair of clothes but if you ask them for a new phone, they will forget about those clothes amd buy you the phone instead. Because they don't want you to think that you don't have everything you want in life as they may not have things when they were just the age as you were now. Even after the elder sibling has a small sibling, he has to share everything they get which is even sacrifice as first they could get things all to themselves but now they have to keep the small one first. And what is compromise then? Not getting the thing you wanted but getting something similar to it and accepting or being okay with getting them. The compromises made could be by your mother who even though was from a wealthy family accepted to live in a small house because she was happy to live with yohr father even though not to the comforting level. Or your father not accepting the job outside the country you live because he knew that if he ever went there then he would barely see you grow and would be able to be there in your good and bad times. Or even the lover who was in love with their bestfriend but seeing them happy with someone else, they let the person go because deep down the lover knew that at one point they will separate from you because they never felt things. One does compromise or sacrifice in their life but it will always bring something good in life which you don't have to let go. . . - Shruti Thakkar #writingprompts #writersofig #writersofinstagram #writersofmumbai #sacrifices https://www.instagram.com/p/CDEOEXnnYAt/?igshid=1crm2vs5r6ebc

The only phase that I miss the most is childhood. It was so free and so relaxed phase of life. No studies, no tension nothing. The studies was to only learn poems with those actions that one would always love. And maybe Twinkle twinkle little star was the only rhyme that had the favourite ones. Everybody remembers things from their childhood and remembers most of it. The first day of preschool was when we couldn't clutch our hands off mother's duppatta. We had to cry in the whole first lesson but still those teachers always treated like we were their kids too. We had so many friends in school and slowly we just held mother's hand till the gate and then waved and ran inside. The field trips and the picnics, the one day inside a water tub and even the annual shows where many of us would discover the talents we had may it be dancing or singing or acting. It was a whole jolly experience. We never even had used phone till the 5th standard because we mostly had friends to play with after school but the kids now cant even keep their eyes off their tablets. We used to play so many games like hopscotch, hide and sheek, stop and party and many more. Whenever we look at those pictures or videos from the childhood we go into that phase where there was no stress and less studies but more play. We would have been the most active then. Even those little houses we had in preschool were most comfortable and fun to play in. Snatching others toy's and the morning prayers we had. The rolly polly's we did and the classroom pictures that we clicked where atleast one cried or one didn't sit. Living in that phase is what many of us are wishing right now. . . - Shruti Thakkar #writingprompts #writersofig #writersofinstagram #writersofmumbai #childhood https://www.instagram.com/p/CC_AxpgH8G3/?igshid=cx1tkdiqwsco

There will be very few people in the world who seem to be happy with what they have. It could be because they have less to survive or don't want to buy things that won't be necessary. But most thing are only bought in the terms of money. Some people may do jobs like being someone's maid just because they desperately need the money not for them but for their family to survive. And people do ill-treat those people just because they provide money to them and are just a servant to them. Being happy is when you like what you have and you see others happiness first. Those who have the habit of only buying newest stuff in the world could maybe think that this was not what they needed and if they could go moneyless then the same stuff will be less worth because they dont have wealth. Happiness is not wealth but people think that wealth will lead to happiness for people. Like if the husband buys everything his wife wants but doesn't provide her love, then his wife will at one point just long for the love that she wanted from her husband. But because the husband buys everything for her, he thinks that it makes her happy and she is satisfied with the life she has. The gadgets that he bought would not work after sometime or the clothes he bought will be into dirts after some years but if he gives love to her, they would cherish all the moments during their retirement. But there are some who are happy with what they have as many dont want clothes or money or big houses and luxurious cars to live, they just want their loved ones to be more close even though in their worst crisis. . . - Shruti Thakkar #writingprompts #writersofig #writersofinstagram #writersofmumbai #happiness https://www.instagram.com/p/CC3XlqlnYky/?igshid=rs8rk46l9cn5

When you give exams you are happy and finally feel free, but after those two months comes the most scary day of your life, the result day. A week before results, you have all kind of thoughts, what if I get less than I expected? What if I don't get admission in thw college I wanted to go to? Will I still get what I wanted as a gift from my parents after the results? All these second thoughts are in your head throughout the day, as well as in your dreams. You have your relatives calling you and asking you about the day when your result will be out. And as this year has been, you cannot expect anything. And the day of the results some may not get enough sleep or some may oversleep, but the morning comes faster than ever. And when you get your results it may be out of these three things, you may get what you expected or you may get more or you may get less, but these percentage only matter for the admissions later people will only just ask you what you had got in your 10th or 12th and it will be just numbers. Some may not feel good or some may be the most happiest person but never feel low as ever. Because during those last two months you have studied as much as possible. You gave your best even though you made some mistakes you realised them later, but you did realise and tried to not make mistakes in the next as they made you learn. And even the 10th graders, even though the ICSE results are out, don't think that 'oh my god they have got so much marks, what if I don't score much, I won't be able to get where I want to' but remember SSC is tough and as you had your portion changed it was more difficult for you and since you had only last year's paper preferences, you have given your best. And for the 12th graders, it is the last year with the old portion, so chill out as luck will be in your favour. So good luck and stay calm and if you get bad results then openly blame the year 2020. . . - Shruti Thakkar #writingprompts #writersofig #writersofinstagram #writersofmumbai #results https://www.instagram.com/p/CCitQB_nClI/?igshid=x23oa4p6lg04

Being lonely is just a phase in life that many of us do have. Its like you have people around you to whom you talk everyday, text everyday or share memes. But they wont know that what you are feeling deep down. You sent them laughing emojis but deep down you are crying. You want to tell things to someone, buf you being judged is a fear that you have. It could be embarassing if they tell these things to someone. So you keep things to yourself and only share what you feel that wont be bad. Even though you have your best friends or parents, you are still single and want someone that you can love and us only yours. As your parents have each other and your siblings as well and even you bestfriends have other bestfriend and their own partners, but you, even you want a partner. Sometimes you may feel, 'No, I am happy single and have been for years so I dont need anyone'. But deep down you want someone, to whom you can share anything. Not forcefully as people say that you can share anything, but those trust issues always come in-between. You want to have heart-to-heart conversations with someone without being misjudged. And them being for you. You want someone to love you unconditionally and text you first without being egoistic. You will feel like you are alone and this world is against you and cry it all out till you sleep. You want to hug someone so tight that they can't leave you alone. But sometimes this loneliness is the best way to find yourself. Have solo trips and explore the world on two feets. Have massages or take a self-care day. Get to know your capabilities and once again live like you wanted to. Because this me time will make you realise about what you want to have in life. . . - Shruti Thakkar #writingprompts #writersofig #writersofinstagram #writersofmumbai #lonely https://www.instagram.com/p/CCdjGlVH5zT/?igshid=z92y21yvmyla

Its been seven years. And used to it now. Mom left when I was eight, and my father was the only strength that I had. But later he started becoming alcoholic, and I was left with only my cousin elder brother. He was nice and had been very protective of me till I was fifteen. Thats when he had turned twenty. Father never was near me and I had to go school with the cousin on his bike. Whenever he would pick me up, I would be scared as he was always either drunk or smoking cigarette. And when I had turned sixteen, that was the first time he tried to be physical. As I never had a mother, my aunt had always told me about periods and everything a woman should be told of. She has been motherly figure to me. But I couldn't tell about him to his own mother, as she would lose her trust in her own son. When I had finished my boards, and the last day he had come to pick me up, it was really scary as his eyes were red from all the smoking and he was very high. Then he took me somewhere and abused me. And I was home with scars, marks and burns. I never knew why he was so angry, but thats the first time I cried after the mother's death, if she would have been here, she would have always kept me safe, away from everything. And when he did it again and again, I became weak, so weak that I couldn't even talk to anyone. But then I had guts to say it to someone, and I told about it to my favourite teacher from school who had always been in touch. She told me to tell it to the police, but little did she know that my cousin was in police itself. ....continued in the comment section. https://www.instagram.com/p/CCYa_EKnM4f/?igshid=y4s1bg0lqpw4

Your life basically has its ups and downs. You hate some people, you bitch about some and you like some. Its all about the things that happen in everyone's life. But regrets, thats not the thing you should have. When you turn old there should be no regrets. See your future from your present. You will know if you will have regrets or not. If you had a break up, reverse your whole relationship and if you see even a percent chance of you getting back together go for it. Maybe even a bit chance could help you find if that person is your soulmate with a second chance. If you don't find anything then break up for the final time. If because of you, two people broke their friendship, fix them together because one sacrificed another because that person wanted to be with you. If you want to start a conversation but you hold back yourself because texting first will be me being desperate to talk then its nothing like that, maybe the person is introvert and hesitates to talk, go text them first or reply to their instagram story. If you think you don't want to be with the person after five years, tell them about it and if you can't fix your relations then leave them for good as they don't deserve someone who doesn't be with them anymore. If you have a fight, then you go and give that person tight hug because even you don't know whether you would be able to meet that person again or not. You want to propose your crush but can't do because that person recently broke up from a toxic relationship, then do go for it, maybe they will start believing you and trusting you more than anybody could have gained that trust. If you hestitate to tell your parents that you are gay or lesbian, then tell them when you find someone who can be with you and is unique like you, your parents with welcome you with open arms. Quarantine can help you get those back whom you lost in your journey of life. Life with no regrets is the life you want for your future. . .- Shruti Thakkar https://www.instagram.com/p/B-1iaM2nDYE/?igshid=1k281op7usb1h

Firsts are always special for someone. First kiss, first hug, first trophy or first salary. The first kiss one has could be the first time they loved someone and thought of taking the first step. Or it could have bad memories. The first hug you have could be definitely from your parents and those hugs are so warm that any pain can be cured. The first achievements you have are always the start of something you never thought you could have. And now when you look back at it, you realise that it was because of that first thing that you came this far and are happy to do this. Those first trophies you achieved, let it be in sports or in academics, that makes you proud of yourself and your parents. The first crush you had, will always be remembered by you, that how silly you were, to stalk them and to text them so much. First love could always have a place in your heart and the memories would be wonderful when you first held someone's hand or hugged them while in love. But some people still have them and others have them in the bottom of their heart. Some could have bad memories in their first one, but their present one makes them realise that memories are not always happy, but with whom you are now should make you so happy that you forget old ones. The first entrance exam you give and even if you fail, you know that you have to look out where you were wrong and make it in your second one. So firsts can be good or bad, but they are always just the start. . . - Shruti Thakkar #writingprompts #writersofig #writersofinstagram #writersofmumbai #firsts https://www.instagram.com/p/CCTQExRnESx/?igshid=1sij3wvtqojyt
