Gajjal Jal Jal

I’m wearing my anklets today.

I wore them yesterday too.

I used to wear them every day for years irrespective of what shoes I was wearing. Even if I was wearing boots and the anklets would be covered up and wouldn’t be able to make a sound, I’d wear them.

I’ve taken them off for long amounts of time before.

Never really know why I stop wearing them.

But here’s what I can tell you about why I always start wearing them again: for certain, it’s because I’m happy. I’m a naturally loud person. Sure, there’re moments when I prefer the quiet. But if I’m in a good mood, I don’t shut up, I get over-excited and speak with animated hands, I lose track of the time, jump and dance around, and sing at the top of my lungs. And since I can’t always do all those things everywhere, I wear my anklets. They speak for me.

Here’s to being the loudest voice in the room, or at the very least a voice that never shuts up.
