Half way through

It's like life coming to a full circle. A surreal moment! I'm still unable to believe what just took place and I was in it...

Drowning in episodes of my life, I'm being pulled back to that loud cheer of the audience, to the mystical presence of the lead singer and his voice...

Me, sitting there, remembering everything that went by in these 18 years... how this music band's journey has been interlaced with these 18 years of my own life —one that I started in this very city.

I wept, I smiled, I jumped out of my seat in sheer happiness. I felt deep gratitude, longing, and the lightheartedness of letting go and letting life flow.

I found myself surprised at this side of me who could be so enthralled that nothing else existed around or within me, completely immersed in the music and the composition—a mesmerizing sight of unbelievable bliss.

Yes, it was AGAM The Band! An introduction 18 years ago marked the commencement of my journey in this lonely part of the planet—my world then, to what is my now. There were a few heartbreaks along the way (or maybe many), but some introduced me to myself, whereas others tore me apart to find a new me that I would have been shying away from. All in all, it's the 15th of June—exactly halfway through this year, or just 15 more days to go. It's also the month I came to this city 18 years back. :)

A lot has happened, a lot has gone past, and sometimes it makes me wonder how I could even survive it all. Or maybe I only felt the deep impacts from all the painful events and testing times. But today, in my heart, I hold gratitude for life and for it's continuous flow, even when I resisted. 🙏❤️
