Hey everyone, I am sure you guys would definitely relate with what I am going to deliver here. We all come from a generation that used to mend things, that reuse things, up until there was nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing else we could do with it.

Where notebooks would first bought to be written in, then the pages were torn to teach kids how to make paper boats and planes, where everything had a use beyond the obvious. Even if it was simply to help kindle a bonfire on a cold winter day. We wore clothes that has been mended,we wove threads into our broken trinklets, we replace batteries in watches and phones, we made sure that everything we bought would last as long as possible.

And even if they didn't, even if they were beyond fixing, there was still a small part of them like a zipper here, a buckle there, that could help in another repair. You could even choose to cut out the part that was ripped and transform it into something completely new like a dress out of an old or damaged saree or a pillowcase out of a torn bed sheet. There was always some way to use what was left. Pieces of pieces of pieces, yet always adept.

And somehow when that is how you are brought up it percolates into other stuff. And it made me believe that just like things, people had more to offer than simply what they seemed. They could be broken, or ripped, or need a missing piece to be whole, and I have always felt that is where I belonged.

I would rather offer a thread, a buckle, a button, some small part of me in the form of art, or actions, or thoughts and poetry or just my undivided silence and attention in their time of need. And may be that could help them to mend their seams.

Because, just like all those things I give up with that had purpose manifold, I also would wear and tear and not be able to stay as I was before, at least this way I would be of some worth once I was mostly gone, and I would still have purpose, I would still have a reason to live on.

Thank you for reading! See you soon in the next blog, till then bye bye. Have a good day.
