Introduction

-



I didn't plan on doing an introduction, but I have my first blog post ready already and it feels wrong to post it without one.

Hi, I'm Lakshita, a student who made a podcast named "Everything I've Never Said" at 15 years old for fun. (there is barely anything on it but I will get better at it I promise.)

A few things about me are- Dead Poet's Society is my favourite movie; I impulsively cut bangs at 15 years old and that has permanently and severely dented my social life; I'm a cat person, infact I'm terrified of dogs so that was never an option; I'm in the process of learning how to cook and people often say if I was a colour I'd be yellow. (highly disagree)

I have loved writing, all my life. The first poem I wrote dates back to when I was 6 years old, which is when I barely could read or write. Writing poems was never a career trajectory for me, but more like a way to deal with all that is asphyxiating and difficult to maneuver. The way I write, the format, the length, the structure changes often- but there is beauty in it. It is elusive and hence accommodative to whatever I feel and want to express through my writing. 

The reason this blog is named the same thing as my podcast is mainly because these are both mediums for me to speak, express myself (I have loved doing that for as long as I've lived). Basically these are both just like journals to me. (The second reason is that I'm horrible at naming things- my first cat was named Ginger Chimpy Tenderheart)

But just because this blog and the podcast both are forums for self expression for me, doesn't mean there is nothing different here. You see the pod is its own entity, it now has a more pragmatic direction than I originally imagined, and so the range of topics i wish to talk about on there are more social and less personal. My intentions with this specific blog is to make it raw, and intimate. If 'Everything I've Never Said'- the podcast- is where I talk about what I see; then 'Everything I've Never Said'- the blog- is my attempt to be seen. Here will be things no one has ever seen, or heard me say before.

Hope you enjoy your time here.


Signing off,

Lakshita

Pansie, you give me a little whiff of your soul, fragrant with the flowers of dawn. Its only the same as it ever was yet I see you, and how you have withdrawn. And I just can’t believe that you, Pansie, are the same soul I met the day when- -I shot my shot into the sky, you lit up like a thousand galaxies, that I now watch like circuits, light up at the sight of things- you tell me you love.   Tell me Pansie, why did you stop? Eating your greens Going to class Counting your coins Tell me all of it. I know its not in me, to bring it back to you but I do not have to. As long as I can sit with you on this dark November day, light up the cigarette of nostalgia, and watch it in between your lips, wither away. No words have to leave your mouth No tears you have to cry Just let me sit with you in this loss and watch all our minutes pass us by.   Time is numbered in this city- -for people like you and me. A plane will...

The picture- Sikkim

  You never miss the picture, only the moving parts, for the picture is logged into your head in perpetuity, for all time to come. It is these moving parts that trinkle into crevices- crevices that hold everything you thought you didn’t want but ended up needing.   In a different city from the one I have lived my entire life in, I do not miss the big picture, I miss the moving parts. I do not miss family or friends, I miss the walk home, the raging sun, the smoke laden air. It is crazy I know, but it was home. The familiar pavements were home, the laughing strangers in the park at 8:30 pm were home, the tender windchimes on the ground floor apartment were home, it was their home, and my home too.   You leave a place, and you leave behind familiarity, comfort, of knowing where the roads are, and what the blind turn up right leads to. You leave home and you leave the indents in your pillow, the leaking tap, the dying trees in the 45 degree heat.   The way I...

What use is it to close my fists if everything that I hold is water anyway?

This is a question that I recently asked the universe during one of the most befuddling and all-consuming periods of my life. The answer to which has not been gifted to me yet, neither by divine intuition or an Instagram quote nor as loud words on the back of a pickup truck- it remains undelivered, perhaps lost in transit. It is ironic that I mostly find all my answers in places such as that, yet I must admit, it is a result of a lot of my own questing and being in places that I shouldn’t be.   In all the answers that I have ever received there runs a common thread- an element of knowing everything and nothing at the same time. When you’re creating an anecdote in your mind, you often try to make it as discreet yet clear as possible, like a mouse that can parole through the entire house, eat its appetite’s worth, and scramble off, still having left enough for about everybody else. So when I am spoken to in metaphors, I assume they are written for me- yes- the half-faded and miss...
