If I Could Hear And Observe People When I Am In A Coma...
...oh! How fun would it be!...
Glimpse From My Life: Just…breathing, and studying. In my 16 years of life, I have never seen such a cold winter in Mumbai. I don’t feel like getting up from the bed in the morning, it is so painful. Plus, I have so many projects lined up during the vacations. It is hard. I just want to go into exile, and get momentary freedom.
Today’s Topic:
I was watching Hannah Montana on my laptop a few days back, and I was on the 20th episode of Season 3 titled, “I honestly love you (no, not you).” This episode was about Miley slipping into a coma after falling down from a height in the hills, and she could hear and observe people in her sleep. It was an awfully funny episode. In this episode, Miley said that she had seen this type of a medical incident in a Kate Hudson and Ashton Kutcher movie. Hilariously, such a movie doesn’t even exist. In fact, it is said that it was a reference to Just Like Heaven (2005), starring Reese Witherspoon and Mark Ruffalo.
Anyway, I was watching this episode and that was when a thought hit me:
What if I could hear and observe people when I am in a coma, too? 🤔
Well, if that was possible, how interesting would it be. People behave in a certain way around you, and sometimes the complete opposite of it when you aren’t around. But, if you visit them discreetly, you would be able to see what they actually think of you.
So, in order to execute this plan, I need to slip into a coma first (LOL!). I don’t know, maybe I will break an ankle or something, or rather fall from a height like Miley. It would be more effective, I guess. Hehe.
Once I am in a deep coma, and my parents, family, friends and known circle are convinced that yes, Noyo is in a coma, I will discover their inner thoughts about me. My soul will slowly step out of my body and lay the foundation for this plan.
But first, like any other inquisitive person, I will scan myself and stare at my soul in awe. Obviously, seeing your soul is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, so a bit of “Oh my god!” is needed. I will stand in front of a mirror and swirl around, admiring myself in a hospital gown. Maybe jump once or twice to be sure that I am just as good as I was when I was inside my body.
When the admiring session ends, I will slowly walk over to the place where my parents are seated. They would be tired, and stressed because, of course, which parent isn’t. Both of them would be wide awake, and my mom would be in a full-blown panic state. This is her, lol!
Coming to my friends: if my best friend knows about my coma, she will definitely arrive at the hospital to meet me. Even she has a tendency of panicking a bit, just like my mom. No wonder they have such good rapport, lol! She would definitely sit by my bedside, holding my hand and stroking my hair in a soothing way, which is expected. I have known her since the day she had joined my school, so I know what kind of a person she is.
The category of love interest is non-existent in my case, as you all know (*crying**screaming**yelling*). However, if I had one, I would expect him to be there as well, keeping a rose by my bedside, or even my favourite snacks. I love jalapeno nachos and chocolate-filled cookies. Even cheese sandwiches with oregano seasoning, it is pure delight. I would love to gobble it up once I have woken up from my coma.
Then of course, my family friends. They join us in every occasion and make it so special for us. They treat me like their own daughter. So, there is no way they won’t be there to visit me.
I am glad if you could read my yapping so far, but the point I tried to prove was a bit different.
See, we meet various people in life- some people are meant for us, some aren’t. In our journey of life, only a few people will travel with us till the end, while some will get off when their station arrives. We cannot expect people to comply with us and act according to the way we want (this is what
, the sweetest princess, told me. Love you, girl!), because expectations, especially from people outside our family, is the key to downheartedness. Also, if we give major importance to a relationship and prioritize it with every ounce of our heart, but it is not reciprocated, it is better to let it go, even if it is with a heavy heart (as said by , another sweet girl, in one of her essays. Lots of love!).Maximum people you will meet are diplomatic in nature- on your face, they will say things to please you, but behind your back, they might not hold the same views. If I could hear and observe people while I am in a coma, I could easily find out the real opinion some people hold in my case. I could observe their actions and it would be easier to understand who is on my side and who isn’t.
So, that is it for today guys. I don’t know what compelled me to write this, but thanks a lot for reading it. You guys are the best. Love ya!!
A shoutout to some of my favourite pieces from this week:
If you have felt intense pain because of rejection from your parents being the elder child, this article reflects it emotionally and with precision.
Ever felt your heart shred to pieces when your feelings and emotions didn’t get reciprocated by the relationships you value the most? Then this article is for you. Also, this beautiful girl mentioned my story! <3
It was really conceited of me to add this in the list, because…I am the one who has written this essay. Lol! But this essay gets brownie points just because Ritwik is my good friend from Substack.
I love her so much for writing this! The realest article on Substack success I have ever read. She beautifully highlighted the points which nobody ever thought of. And I got a sweet mention here which made me soooo happy!!!
Forgiveness is the key to everything! The person who takes the initiative to solve things first has a heart of 24 carat gold. Catch Shrishti Verma as she beautifully explains the importance of forgiveness in various situations. And please shower her with all the love and support you can, it would mean a lot to me!!!!
Have a nice day ahead! Kudos!
Very good. First, and this is why having that special someone is, well, maybe a good thing. They will help keep you warm so you don't need to get up. Second, be careful. Twirling around in a hospital gown may do one of two things or both. You'll get a cool breezy up your backside. Also, those around might get a free show of your backside. Just saying. Thank you for keeping it real. I loved it. 🎀🌹❤️
Omg I loved this and thank you for the shout out Noyonika 🫶🏾🥹
