Tick Tock Tik and Adieu…

Four years back,

I was left to explore a vast world,

bound between four humongous walls..

It felt like a prison,

well it had to,

since it wasn’t my home;

the place I spent my entire life!!

Unsurprisingly, I did come

out of my cocoon,

only to stumble upon,

few to laugh with,

few to gather memories,

and few for whom,

I’d definitely let my heart out

and vent out few drops,

that’d trickle down my face,

with no doubt,

that they’d wipe it off for me!!

Just like people tell,

that there’s heaven,

in every single corner of the world,

and it’s for us to find it;

I found my little heaven,

in this earlier mentioned prison too…

Just like people tell,

that heaven’s when you find,

solace in a pair of eyes,

and a heart beating for you,

tolerant to all your versions!!

I did find my heaven too,

but not in just a pair of eyes,

since I was lucky enough to find,

few more pairs of eyes to venture into!!

Yes! When I look back,

I’m glad I was left here;

Four years of memories,

At least three people to spend it with,

Two words to define the moments – ‘College Life‘,

and a heaven I found

out of my cocoon – College!!

Well, long before we drift apart,

let’s sing this once again,

“You can count on me like,

1,2,3… I’ll be there!!”

Yea guys, let’s not count the four,

as the fourth year is too soon to end now;

It’s for us to live the moment,

It’s upon us, whether it ends here at four…

If we can skip the E and let it GO,

Let’s hold hands and skip the U,

and let it go on FOREVER….

So, are we in it?! 😉

P.S. To all final yearites. Wish you all the good luck for your future! Cherish these Happy Days, before it’s long gone…. Cheers!

That Night…!

The night sky was growling and howling; showering angrily with an intend to flood the streets of the small town. Not a single existence of human could be seen on that street, and those accidentally stuck up in the middle of the whirlpool, ran to find shelter. One such person was Riya. She was on her way back from the city after a party with her friends, unaware of the whirlpool awaiting her on the other side of city; the town. As she walked down the all so familiar lane, she heard few footsteps at a distance. Following her parent’s instructions, she didn’t bother to turn around and look who it was. She tried to distract herself by pulling out her I-Pod and plugged it in, hoping her music would take her to an utopia as always. Somehow, it was not in her favor that day. The tiny magical thing was drained off its battery. She felt a chill run down her spine, when she heard the footsteps nearing at a faster pace. Her anxiety wanted her to turn, but her parent’s words rung even more loudly in her brain. As a reflex, Riya pulled her raincoat tightly around her body hoping it would save her from the group behind. In that chilly weather, she could feel sweat prickle, heartbeat pounding at a faster rate; she finally gathered the courage to look back when she heard no more footsteps. As an engine roared to start, she found herself running with all her might. Her legs gave up, when the car honked right into her ears. Suddenly, a black cloth blocked her sight and she felt herself being dragged into the vehicle. She struggled against their hold, but all efforts were in vain. She stopped, when she heard familiar laughters echo in the vehicle. As her vision was gifted back to her, she was stunned by a yell in unison, “HAPPY APRIL FOOL’s DAY” !! They had actually tried to reach her phone to inform her that they were right behind her to drop her off to her house, due to the heavy rain. In the all the more frightening scenario, she had not heard her phone ring and seeing the 15 missed calls then, she laughed at herself.
P.S. Life is too short to worry about things.. Learn to accept the humor life throws at you through special beings known as “friends” .. People are too busy worrying about ‘what could have happened if it was true’ that they forget to live the moment. Live the present, enjoy your future. Past is so called for a reason; It’s not meant to be carried on!!

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” . ❤
