Journal 26.3.2024 9.05 pm

Dear Journal,
The day went off pretty well.  I have to push myself to hold poses in yoga. I have to build my will power and tenacity, courage and self confidence.
Arun is down with laryngitis and his doctor told him not to talk for two days. I thought I would refrain from talking to him over the phone for two days. Surprisingly, he called in the evening. He is so cute. He's my loveliest heart.
I'm still feeling badly about fighting with Buro yesterday. I hope he is able to forgive me, Ma, himself. I do love Buro a lot. He means the world to me. 
When you read books like the Gita, or even when you read the newspapers, you read of close kin fighting each other for money and property. One of my greatest wishes is that my relationship with Buro is untarnished by all this. I hope as age progresses both of us will be able to find peace within ourselves. And I do hope that Buro forgives me for whatever grievances he holds against me. He is always forgiven by me.
I have to edit for Ashabari and write an article for Shivansh.
Sahil Lihala came over today. He is a good person to be friends with. A soft kind of chap.
Ma is cooking fish for me right now for the days ahead when they are not there. They are going for a detox camp. She is so sweet.
I shouted at her today in the morning. I should not have. Ma has made many sacrifices for us. She does so much for us. I'm blessed with great parents.
So does Pa. Pa is my gentle soft-hearted ogre. So is Arun.
Pa and Ma don't share their pains with us. Pa never does. Ma does sometimes. She has become more jovial and fun-loving in her old age. One of my greatest wishes is that I age gracefully into satisfaction, contentment and happiness.
Today in class we went a little off-topic and discussed the vata, pitta and kapha types of personalities.
I feel so lethargic and laidback. I'm definitely a kapha type of person. Ma is definitely a pitta kind of person. I do hope I am able to quit smoking cigarettes.
Love makes the world go around.
