The Weight of a 'Maybe'


There are days when I feel lost, days when I feel fine, and days when I don't understand myself at all. So I wrote this straight from the heart, without filters, without trying to make it perfect. Just me putting my feelings into words, the way they came.

We talk about clarity like it's something you find one day — like it's sitting somewhere waiting for you to arrive. But what if it isn't? What if clarity is something that comes and goes, and most of the time, we're just living in the in-between? In the space between knowing and not knowing. In the space of maybe.


Life is good
whether I’m doing good or not,
still, life is good.
I can be sad,
happy,
angry,
lazy,
sleepy.
I might be good at studies or maybe not,
maybe I’m not studying hard enough,
maybe I’m not doing enough for my future,
maybe I don’t even know what I have to do.
No direction,
no clarity,
no idea where to start.
Maybe I’m a good person,
maybe I’m becoming one,
maybe I only say it
but I’m not.
Maybe I’m in a dream,
maybe I am the dream,
maybe I’m just… me.
I want to achieve everything,
but I don’t know the recipe.
Maybe I’m lost,
maybe my spark is hiding,
maybe I’m searching for a path
I haven’t seen yet.
I need a light
maybe I have a candle
but no matchstick.
Maybe I’ve already found my spark,
but I can’t recognize its glow.
Maybe I’m at the starting point,
everything ready
except the push
but I can’t push.
Maybe I need help,
but I don’t ask.
Maybe I need something
I don’t know.
Maybe I know the road,
but not the right turn.
Maybe.

I don't know if anyone else feels this way. But I think they do. I think most of us are walking around with a maybe inside us — a quiet uncertainty we don't talk about out loud because everyone around us seems so sure of themselves. Maybe they're not. Maybe they're just better at hiding the weight of their own maybes.

And maybe that's okay. Maybe not having all the answers right now doesn't mean you're behind. Maybe it just means you're honest. Maybe the people who sit with their uncertainty long enough eventually find something real on the other side of it.

Or maybe not.

Maybe.

Chinar: The Timeless Symbol of Kashmir

The Chinar tree, known scientifically as Platanus orientalis , is an iconic symbol of Kashmir's cultural and historical landscape. Revered for its majestic presence, the Chinar is deeply rooted in the region's heritage and is often associated with poetry, spirituality, and romance.

The Great Biochem Catch-Up: Notes, Naps & Midnight Lectures

So here we are again. That time of the semester when every student magically transforms into a scholar, philosopher, and full-time note-maker — all in one week . Yes, my exams are just 6 days away. And no, I don’t have proper notes yet. Why? Because for some reason, I believed that future me would handle it all. Spoiler: he’s not handling it very well. Chapter 1: Notes? Haan haan... kal banayenge. Let’s be honest — all semester, I sat in class with the look of deep concentration. Like I'm decoding some genius-level science. In reality, I was either sleepy, daydreaming, or mentally writing my next blog. I’d look at slides and think, "I'll make the notes later. Pakka." That “later” finally knocks on my door when the exam timetable arrives like a horror movie jump scare. Chapter 2: The Pen Panic Begins The moment I hear "exam after 6 days," I suddenly remember every unit I ignored. I open my biochemistry book with shaky hands and whisper to my...
