To, All the boxes I haven’t ticked.

Let them be.

The purple colour hair-dye I never tried.
The tattoo , I am wishing for since the big Four-Oh!
The delish vegetables I forsake

The travels I do in my mind.
The sarees I drape , unseen
The calm I wished I mastered

The art I am unable to appreciate
The clumsiness in me, I bring everywhere
The odd-timed giggle that refuses to wither away.

The fluttering of my heart when something new
The charm that I can’t turn on
The cool, the clear, the crisp – that belongs to others

This year, all the boxes that I haven’t ticked
I leave behind.

To, All the boxes I haven’t ticked.
Let them be.
