You with your thoughts, both waiting for that traffic light to go green. As partners, you start wandering together the backlog of your dopamine-pilled brain. Countless thoughts unthought, countless talks unheard. Most of the days its just a still lake reflecting back the embarrassing moments from your grade school, but somedays you find a guiding light, a guiding light which suddenly clears your brain and you pour out the best of you! Little moments of boredom spark gleaming creativity.

Few weeks ago, I visited a little cafe called Wishlist. While my sugar craving brain was waiting for the cake and coffee, I came across a small notebook. A notebook filled with boredom, a notebook filled with creativity. A place without wifi access and a handy notebook? Best combination to pour your heart out. I kept flipping the pages, and at times, few pages looked back at me. This is a collection of few of those pages :).

Left: Lovely flowers! Right: I really love the small man standing on the muffin!

Left: I wish I could write just 1% as beautifully as this handwriting. Right: Lovely pattern again!

Left: Thanks to the little person offering some free love `:)`. Right: This reminded me of taare zameen par for some reason.

Left: Umm, okay sure? Right: Such a lovely way to show us your whole trip!

And finally a page where tried to make a small little contribution to this decorated list. I wrote a small poem which I wrote a while ago, and my friend wrote lyrics of a song which was stuck in his head `xD`.
