A letter to my departed Half-Sister Akka, I saw your smile in a stranger I crossed paths with and now I miss you. Maa talks about you almost everyday. After all, you were the golden child she lost to God. Don't worry, she is keeping well. Let me make it clear, I am not here to yap about Maa and the crazy FamBam. I thought, since it's been 15 years you went to the other side, maybe I could provide you some insights of the mundane world. ° To begin with, "Humanity" is just a word in the dictionary. The real deal is on a ventilator machine, breathing it's last breath soon to dissipate. Hypocrisy sure is the new currency and Social Media is the third path besides the good and bad. We are a globe full of happy pictures but broken souls. Courtesy too died, do pass my regards to it. The golden words "Thank You", "Sorry" and the kinds have been replaced by bling slangs. Also, the cerebrum of the Human brain has been eliminated in the recent production I believe because people just say the most absurd things out loud on your face. Their excuse is that we live in times where expression is the new cool. A time where Hullabaloo is replaced by the golden silence. A time where a sinner is glorified and the innocent are silenced. A time where everything is turned into a meme. Ahh! What a time to be alive. ° No seriously. It is not all that bad. Especially for the women. More equality in terms of us being employed, driving around and having a voice. Some of us are without a doubt high on empowerment; chasing dreams which makes our soul sparkle. Then there are a low percentage who do find true love. For the rest ofcourse FOOD exists to make all the pain go away (I will need a whole book for that topic though). Music still is the only curable medicine. Art of any form, to be frank. The bitter truth though is I personally feel unheard. My frail voice fails to reach out to our own mother at times let alone the world. But I know I will manage. Afterall, I am a seed, I shall grow. Enough about me and this dot of blue and green in the universe. You tell me, what's good in the hood? #Lettertothedeparted #Gonebutnotforgotten #Halfsisterdiaries #Someplacebetter #IhopetheygotIGupthere (at Somewhere Only We Know) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2FaOWHh_Q9JAfxljHUm7X2ED3ssTcw2ZfhQHI0/?igshid=1hw1a2ypwabu9
