Solo Rides give the best company. I am alone in my loneliness walking through the meadows and on the roads. I feel like am a grown up. But in fact, I am just a toddler transcending a few steps in the vast meadows of this cosmos. The roads, the cities, everything seems beautifully irrelevant. The villages and their chirping sounds, the smokes from the houses all just ask me the same thing that I look like a stranger. And the stranger I am, whom nobody knows. The gaze I get from the people intrigues in me a sense of oblivion. And I ask, what a well-known stranger I am to myself. I aspire to explore the world, but in fact exploring myself will turn me into a much better explorer.
Then I start remembering things. Things that have made me what I am. All those things who have impeded my journey. The dreams, I failed to achieve. And I am reminded of people. The ones, I love and the ones I lost. The faces, I will never see again. The girl I may never have. My life and responsibilities which I paused and went on a walk. And I am not alone even when I am Alone. I am accompanied by the ambitions, regrets and redemption.
One might wonder, with what I am walking. I am walking with hope. The hope, that things will be at peace. The hope that my life will be like this greenery affected by seasons but the good days will come too. I feel like a wandering crow. Albeit, a wandering crow is too noisy for the people, but it saves a dove from a hunter. So, wander a little. Be alone a little.
After all;
How hard it must be,
To be at peace,
To love someone,
And feel at ease.

The Art of Letting Go
The art of letting go, isn't hard to master Yet, I have never seen any of its Master. 24 hours awake. Smoking 31st cigarette since I last woke up. 12 hours of continuous work. At this point, I am half dead and half alive. But, a message gave me energy to write it all. I have stopped opening up your chats, as I have archived them. But as usual, I remember you in different ways before I go to sleep. Sometimes, I listen to Parveen Shakir. Other times, I make up scenarios. I had no hope of getting an update from you. But, this time came a link. I am not writing this to convince you of anything. Just to tell you, some phases of life, love, lust, and other things.

How to prevent outdoor sculptures from fading over time
Outdoor sculptures often appear vibrant and impressive when first installed, but after one or two summers, the colors can begin to fade. In some cases, bright surfaces become chalky, while darker tones lose depth and contrast. This fading is not a design flaw, but usually results from environmental exposure and inappropriate material or surface treatment choices during the early stages of the project.

What to Consider Before Commissoning a Custom Outdoor Sculpture
Custom outdoor sculptures are more than just choosing an aesthetically pleasing design. Unlike indoor artwork, outdoor sculptures exist in a real-world environment—sunlight, rain, wind, people, and time itself all become influencing factors. A well-planned sculpture can enhance the quality of a space and be durable for years to come. However, hasty decisions can lead to maintenance problems, visual imbalances, or costly rework.
