Eucatastrophe #NewNormal #A2Z

Eucatastrophe 

(Neologism) Coined by JRR Tolkien, a eucatastrophe is the opposite of a catastrophe—a sudden and unexpected event of happiness or good fortune.

The calamity had hit us

and hit our homes, kitchens and gyms 

but differently

so many 

were finding a lost talent

the lost motivation 

to cook, to do, to learn again

Challenges are the new normal

Rituals and rituals

Coffees and sarees

Weight loss, weight gain

Groupie and selfie

Eucatastrophe!

Drapetomania #Newnormal #A2Z

Drapetomania

(Greek) An overwhelming urge to run away

Here is an invisible cage

a soul serving a life sentence

the urge to fly

to run away

to be Icarus for a day

to fly close to the sun

whatever consequences

might come my way

but then the fear freezes the mind

and I run far away in a

"Mindcation" 

that is all I can afford

the Blue mosque, or seashells

or somewhere in the hills

the urge to break free

to run away.

Chutzpah #NewNormal #A2Z

Chutzpah

(Yiddish) adopting a ‘don’t-take-no-for-an-answer’ attitude

So it was here to stay

I looked it in the eye

in the quiet of many nights

amidst the lonely panic

in the middle of an anxiety attack

it stood firm

testing all I had!

A year later 

it stands firm again

in that dark spot 

in my bedroom and my heart

and I stand where I do

surviving every day

not on air

just chutzpah!
