Maturity and growth are different is what I have realised.
Hurt and disappointment are different is what I have realised.

So, India is dying.
Look, I know a good number of you are from the US and things aren't amazing there either, but my country is literally on the brink of collapse. So I'd love it if we could talk about that for a minute.
If you can't do anything else, please just read and reblog.
A second COVID wave has taken out the healthcare system. There are no more hospital beds. There's an oxygen shortage. There's a critical vaccine shortage. The Central Government has thrown its hands up and is passing the baton to the State Governments to do what they can.
There are over 16 million covid cases. A record 330,000 new cases reported yesterday - comparable to the US at its peak. 187,000 dead as of today.
There is no plan.
Mass cremations are taking place. The cremation grounds are running day and night and they are short on wood. People are watching their loved ones die while waiting for a hospital bed, and then they're unable to give them the proper burial rights.
Tumblr media
Hospitals are overwhelmed. Patients are being confined, two to a bed. They're the lucky ones.
Tumblr media
We are on the verge of people dying in the streets.
This is the second-most populous country in the world. The largest democracy. A country that encapsulates over 15,000 years of recorded human history and has endured everything from famine to invasion to colonisation.
We might be at the end. This might be the thing that does us in.
People are dying.

People are dying.

People are dying and there is no plan.

More good news? Variants are popping up. A double mutation strain has shown up. It is resistant to current vaccines. This will not go away. This is the devastation they warned of when the anti-maskers were out protesting the minor inconvenience of covering their face in public.
My country is on the verge of an emergency state. Our government has failed us. This is as dire a situation as it ever could be.
Look. I don't do much with my life. I write fics, some of you have read them and that's pretty much it. I spend my days with my head in the clouds because that's where I like to be.
But two days ago, my grandmother tested positive, had to be taken to hospital and the ambulance caught fire.
She barely made it to the urgent care she needs.
So, here I am, using whatever meager platform I have to cobble this request together. Because I have to do something.
If you can, donate.
Or spread the word.
Help. Please.

NORMAL
As Covid-19 spreads and uncertainty overshadows the world, people like you and I look for substitutes of their daily activities yet again. Where students who would sit in a class, before, laughing at a minor mispronunciation of their teacher now sit muted on their zoom classes and laugh at an Instagram reel. Where a corporate worker who would consciously make himself look presentable for a meeting, now lays on his bed wearing shorts and is as comfortable as ever. Where a mother who would probably be gossiping about someone at 11 in the morning, is busy fussing over a glass of milk her kid doesn’t want to drink. 
But how long does everything remain all calm and happy? It’s been a year since Covid first hit us, with the same schedule, waking up to the same faces and same routines everyday, everyone wants to go back to normal. Normal, where we were surrounded by other people. Even while sitting alone in a bus or a garden, being surrounded by people gave a sense of safety. 
Once when I had had a fat day I decided to take a walk downstairs. On my second round I met a young couple who live next to my house. Our conversations usually are very small just an exchange of hi/hello, but this time we talked endlessly about every valid topic. From Covid cases to TV shows to their childhood, we shared a good laugh. That’s when I realized, that talking to them felt normal after ages. At this moment I crave the old days, how much ever I envied the girl who sat two rows next to me, I want to be surrounded by her. I want to be surrounded by different faces to feel that “normal” again.

Some times all you need is yourself to stand back up. Looking for support from your surrounding not only makes the job tougher, but also doesn’t shape you to face a much tougher challenge waiting to cross your path yet again. 
It’s okay to give yourself time and not socialize. While in a bad spot, one should give themselves all the validity and not wait for someones opinion.What you think and feel maters the most and should always be the top priority.

one of the best feelings is being caught off guard by someone's kindness towards you, especially when you're having a bad day, and you can't stop thinking about it for the next two weeks

WHERE I STAND
In what context do you think the title is? It could be anything; if I didn’t know any better, I would definitely say “on the ground” but if I were to be a little serious it would probably mean “where I stand compared to others” to me. But this is not about others it’s about myself. It’s about where I stand compared to where I stood two years ago, one year ago,a month ago maybe even 3 days ago. 
For this one, I had to look behind and analyze even the most embarrassing situations I had been in. I remember the parts where i was touched by someones words the most, I remember the parts where I had a situation so stupid but to me it seemed like the world had fallen apart. While I write this I realize how I made it a "ME PROBLEM" , how I thought the world revolved around me. Boy, was I wrong.
The past few months have taught me so much about myself. I have tried to improve myself in all possible ways. To some I seem to have become a completely different person, to some I look obnoxious and some think I have distanced myself from them because I prefer to be alone, that I am a loner (which is actually true). But this only happened because I realized something. I realized something that I wish I knew before. Things like mental health, mental stability, bad influence and more importantly the definition of toxic surrounding.Today when I use these terms I know I am not capable enough to preach on them but I know I understand them. I do not have a deep knowledge about this but I wish to learn more and more.
I distanced myself from those who gave me anxiety and bad environment. At the moment I can confidently say that I am surrounded by only those who are optimistic about life. This makes my mood so so better and my environment so so pure. I never knew just these little things could make life a little easier. My goal is to always be cheerful, because I have noticed that happiness is contagious, pure smile is so beautiful. A sweet Thank You can make someones day brighter, a five lettered word Sorry could prevent sorrow.
I have learnt the importance of self-confidence and self-love. These two things that sound so mild really have a huge impact on ones life.
I'm on the path to learn and love, join me and I'll be grateful.

INTRODUCING ANANYASAN
Hey, I originally wanted to call myself Evan here, but unfortunately that wasn’t possible. Evan to me, is the short for “Everything to Anything”. This is what my idea is, I’ll be writing and posting about absolutely anything or everything that comes to my mind. I’ll happily accept that I am an amateur and am open to any suggestion. 
I want to keep it real with the person reading my write-up. I want to do this, not for fame or popularity but for myself. Through these blogs I want to express my good-bad days, my vulnerability, my happiness and most importantly my imperfections. Through my blogs you would notice how fickle minded I can be, how easily I get influenced, how I react to certain situations and again, more importantly how everyday I can improve and be the better version of me. Even if a few of you reading these would relate to it, all of this would be worth it. I already know a part of you would understand what I mean and to be honest, that’s enough.
It would be my pleasure if you join this journey, and help me to improve. I am new to this, and I have no real qualities but I look forward to develop some, probably learn from you. 
This is all about me for now but I would be keen to know about you too!
