I write to give myself strength. I write to be the characters that I'm not. I write to explore all things that I'm afraid of. I write to let my thoughts flow freely and wildly!

College days- nostalgia ..

Two years since the end of college. Everyone parted their ways. Books filled with autographs and signed white tees were just memories, which hid quite well in the bookshelves and the wardrobes, among tons of other clothes. Promises to stay in touch, the “I am gonna miss you”-s, “I have no clue how we are gonna stay apart for so long”-s ; were just broken promises and words safe within the four walls of the college campus and its buildings, uttered just to be mocked by the latter every year. Names were seen in Facebook friend list and not in “dialed numbers”, or saved in contacts with nicknames they shared until they forget who it belonged to. Between words unspoken and those that came out as sharp swords, lied perfectly hidden feelings. Between lovers who had to part ways and those who never confessed their feelings; were built in regrets and sorrows. Time spend together enjoying, travelling and celebrating were just photographs in the album.
No one can control time and same is the case with us. Time keeps moving and so do we have to. Ever wished for a time machine?? Hahaha, those are just pipe dreams which pops in our mind when we wish to escape reality – the “hectic” life we live after those bubbly moments that we’d always cherish, or in short “our teenage life”. Time doesn’t wait for anyone, and so is there no point in waiting for a time machine to be invented. “Live the present, cherish the past, change your future and create your own adorable merry land” . ❤

Some Say..

Some say, Love’s a crazy feeling,
where you lose all your other senses..
But what if you are ready,
to set fire to your senses
for that one crazy soul?!

Some say, Love’s a beautiful feeling,
where you don’t have to get it right,
like Romeo & Juliet..
But be like that,
Grandpa & Grandma who spent,
amazing times together,
ignoring each others flaws;
laughing their hearts out,
through those teethless gums..

Some say Love’s gonna tear us apart,
in such a way that,
you feel lost without your better half..
Ain’t that true?!
But shouldn’t you be there,
for yourself always,
because you die alone eventually?

Some say Love’s a funny feeling,
where you don’t know,
what happens to you..
Your tummy turns into a kaleidoscope,
you see them everywhere;
But don’t you think,
you do need to add an,
eenie meenie pinch of fun factor,
to make your life intersting;
and for sure ,
someone to look & smile at?!

Some say Love’s gonna kill you,
where only the sincere one gets,
stabbed to death!
But, can you deny the fact that,
once born you have to die?
You got no option buddy,
go ahead, explore and love fearless;
or else you’re just gonna,
die a little, every single day..

Some say Love’s a special feeling,
where two souls become one,
YOU and I becomes WE,
and hell turns into paradise;
just ’cause of that one promise,
a promise to be together,
let it be then, now or forever..
But, never forget that,
your story is written,
in a unique and special way..

Some say Love’s all about trial and error,
where it ain’t necessary to get it right,
at the first shot itself..
But ever wondered,
if you lost your faith in love,
just ’cause of that one wrong person,
you are just,
just one step behind in,
findng your soulmate,
and they are still alone in this world,
waiting for you?!

Some say Love’s scary,
where you’ll be scared of dejection,
scared of losing your partner,
or scared to hear a ‘Goodbye’ from them..
But isn’t it more scarier,
scarier to know that,
these things in your mind,
are gonna taunt you 24/7,
’cause you know obviously,
Mind can be the worst Enemy at times?!
So, go out there and express yourself,
it may or may not happen,
why not give it a try?!
Waiting can hurt,
but what’s more painful,
is to forget somone,
someone you love!

Some say, some say,
Oh hold on!
What does it matter,
what those ‘some’ say?!
What matters is what,
your heart says,
your mind says,
and that’s what exactly counts!

Don’t you wanna experience,
those sweet and lovely moments,
with that perfect person?!
Don’t you wanna complete yourself,
with your better half?!
No one’s in a hurry alright!?
Just be patient and wait for the right one,
’cause you can’t rewrite the story;
the amazing ‘HAPPILY EVER AFTER’ story,
God has written for you;
But definitely add your bit of touch to it..

P.S. It’s not gonna be like any other love stories, because you are unique and God has added a unique touch to your story too..
A kid once asked God, “If you have written my story, why should I take any efforts? I’ll just go with the flow”, to which He replied that, ” You shouldn’t just sit back and watch.. It’s probably cause at few places, I have written ‘As you wish’ ” …

Your dreams are mine now..

Time fast forwarded?? Check !! She tried to pause that moment and unclutter her mind for now, but it was all in vain. Yes, trying to stop her mind from wandering through the unwanted path she once strolled along with him, was what she wished for now !! She was strangled in the world’s biggest prison- her mind, which she has been trying to elope from, but this time alone.
As her mind played a game of “Twister“, she managed to pull out a pale smile to flash upon the world. Surprisingly, the only bright thing she beheld after a series of tragedies was her smile. Her lips were a barren desert, baring a stark to her pair of dark clouds which have cried a million rivers..
She leaned on the walls, wishing it’d be his shoulders; her fingers intertwined with not his, but hers to pray to the Almighty; her eyes searched for his’, though all she could stare was at the dim walls. She had lost the spark in her eyes, as his eyes were the mirror that caused such a magnificent reflection, she proclaimed.
She didn’t want anyone else to see her, hear her, console her. She was all cold; she wanted warmth which only his arms could provide; she wanted to listen to his heartbeats but they no longer beat for her. She sighed, “your dreams are mine now”, and her voice echoed in that little, empty room. Yes, she had to live to fulfill her dreams, his dream.!

Religion separated them too..

“Love your fellow-beings and respect each and everyone’s feelings” – read the textbook and Holy books. Things were much simpler to follow when we were young as it came with no strings attached. “Falling in love is easy, but escaping from it isn’t” was a thing which was taught by neither the school professors nor any books. There is no book of instructions or precautions, to go through before encountering life’s greatest adventure- love ..
Religion connects people to their respective God, and love is felt when two people’s heart connects. But does religion and love go hand in hand?! Umm, maybe well not in every case. Despite all differences between them ; their culture, traditions, behavior, religion, family background ; the strongest force of attraction- love bound them together and kept them going. They believed that God is one and all He wanted to see was happiness blossom everywhere in his kingdom – the world. But their relationship had to finally drop the anchor , as they belonged to different religions and communities.
The Gods’ had written a perfect ending to their special story too, but it wasn’t well coordinated among the Gods because of an invisible wall His own creation made – religion. Despite all efforts to fight for their oneness, they had to give way for their story to happen, the way it was meant to be, as they didn’t want to go against God’s will or agitate Him and cause trouble or mishaps for their families, according to what the world conveyed to them.
Society, in the name of religion broke down a bridge between two hearts and opened the gates to an incomplete story, once again. They wished that their children could believe in some new religion which taught them to love and not hate someone.
