Still remember the dialogue- Piertotum Locomotor, I always wanted to use that spell

With that powerful spell, Professor McGonagall brought inanimate objects to life. just as she breathed life into every role she played. 

Thanks you so much for lighting up our childhood. Your magic will live on eternally.

Harry Potter using AI way before

My beloved tunnel, we meet again,
Your smoky embrace, was missed in the train,

Lets make a toast, to your tobacco smeared rear,
To my aerosol elixir, devouring my fears,

Come and teach me to forget,
Well being is a burden, I sweat,

Lets let it all out, with a puff so sacred,
lets ma'ar the society, with a mist of hatred,

Is it the smell, or is it the taste??
Which forces me, to clash my fate,

I'll breathe, and long past midnight,

And I fade away, with no regrets,

Your remains, bathed in a glowing aura,

Bleed profusely, in my abode of ashes,

A long thread of that marvellous grey,
The proud evidence, of your bittersweet karma,

The last spire, a sudden draught,
A purpose fulfilled, a lesson taught, 

I wish I could avoid, that one last kiss,
I'll be back, with another bud, I promise.

An ode to a Cigarette

Have you experienced joy so profound, that it brought tears to your eyes?

It’s easy to fall prey to negativity and gossip. In that we may lose sight of the good we have in our lives. Let’s take a moment to acknowledge and be grateful for that once in a while. Here goes mine -

I’m grateful that I find joy in learning and discovering new things. I like reading and knowing about so many different things for no reason. 

What are you grateful for?

What role did your mothers play in your life while you were growing up? Also how is everyone tackling the various situations which come up as they are growing old

I'll start: a super smart women who sacrificed her own career for the sake of me and my brother, and now that I feel I have achieved a lot that she is really proud of I wish I could give her the world and life ahead full of new experiences! ❤️❤️

Whats your favourite quote of all time?

I'm afraid that time is flying and I will not be able to do things which I thought I will do for my parents. 
What I'm doing- recently moved closer to them and will try to use extended weekends for doing those things (mainly experiences). 
Go ahead and tell us your fear and what are you doing for that

What's your biggest fear in life

Today was such an emotional day for me as I said goodbye to Microsoft after ten amazing years. It all started with a feeling of nostalgia as I walked into the office. My team was already gathered, ready to share their thoughts and memories. I could feel the emotion, and I knew right away that this was going to be a day filled with heartfelt goodbyes.

We held an impromptu gathering in our usual meeting room, where one by one, my colleagues started sharing their favorite moments from our time together. They talked about late-night brainstorming sessions, team outings, and all the challenges we faced together. As each story unfolded, it became harder and harder to hold back the tears. There was laughter, but there were also tears, and I could really feel the love and camaraderie we’ve built over the years.

Then, as the morning went on, my manager called for a “team huddle,” and it turned into a surprise farewell party! The room was decorated with balloons, and they brought in a beautiful cake that said, “Good Luck on Your New Journey.” When I saw it, my heart just swelled with gratitude. My team had clearly put a lot of effort into making this day special. We all gathered around the cake, and as I got ready to cut it, my colleagues started singing “For He’s a Jolly Good Fellow.” The room erupted in cheers, but when I looked around, I noticed tears streaming down many faces. It really hit me how deep our bonds had become. I took a moment to express my gratitude, acknowledging how each person had played a part in my journey and growth at Microsoft.

After we cut the cake, the emotions really kicked in. Many of my teammates came up to share personal notes and gifts. Some had written letters expressing their appreciation and how I had impacted their careers. As I read through them, I couldn’t help but get choked up. The tears flowed freely as I hugged each person tightly, promising to stay in touch.

As the day wrapped up, my team walked with me to the exit. It was such an overwhelming sight—my colleagues lined the hallway, clapping and cheering as I walked out. The tears kept coming as we exchanged final hugs and words of encouragement.

Leaving Microsoft is definitely a big change for me, but I’m filled with hope and determination as I start this new venture. I’ll carry with me the lessons I’ve learned, the friendships I’ve made, and all the wonderful memories from my time here. Thank you, Microsoft, for shaping me into the person I am today. I’ll cherish every moment and look forward to the next chapter of my journey!

Was having a conversation with my SO today.

I think we’re probably the last generation who watched animated shows on TV as kids, as now the new trend is of “iPad” babies who watch content online?

We started discussing about how the channel you used to watch as a kid tells you so much about that person.

Like kids that watch Nickelodeon were so different than the kids who used to watch Disney. And the Cartoon Network kids were unhinged. 👀

Man, I don’t know how old is this audience but we used to have shows like Avatar-The Last Airbender, Kochikame, Yu-Gi-Oh, Pokémon. 

And much before that Oswald, Noddy, Dexter’s Laboratory, Powerpuff Girls etc.

What is your favourite animated show from back in the day? Would love to hear some stories.

[Edit 1]: Grapevine has added a new edit feature on posts, and I am definitely watching Gravity Falls as recommended by DrProduct

[Edit 2]: That comment has been deleted since then. 👀
