Three Musketeers

It's day 70 of me meeting my coolest, moody, and stylish new friend and also the same day when I left my warm, steady old friend. There is so much of my old friend around so little of me that it's getting hard to know my new friend. My favorite side of the bed, the way six-thirty pm chai smells, that fight with my brother for AC/TV remote, unmade bedsheets with wrinkles in my shape of the body, the hills painting they draw on the first day of kindergarten, that movie night, the carvings on the last bench, intense Chinese checker game, the tempting smell of pani puri, that one favorite room in the college, that famously known secret, that one favorite chat wala, that same sooryavansham film in sony tv, my home and its all you, you, youu. Happy farewell Thinking about my old friend might sound like a broken record but you're everywhere, every page of my old book which I never wanted to turn but will turn to the fresh pages of the same old book because there are so many places...

Bookmarked!!

Believe me, this is not just another sob story, it is instead a brave one, about two years of a rollercoaster of emotions with our pockets filling with a lot of memories, fights, events, love and affection and a perfect mix of madness and creativity, certainty and uncertainty, living all those days being careless and not counting we built our "HOME" with bits of happiness. You were like a bookmarked chapter of my favourite novel.  Those were the days we're fighting over something stupid, chasing our dreams, screaming but still caring for each other, attending the classes and pretending as if we were listening to the lectures, running for pani-puri and playing dumsharads in the break. Laughing and commenting on our teacher, who is teaching an unknown language in the same strange language, bunking classes, sharing our lunch, late-night lessons and enjoying freedom but still worried!! woh din bhi kya din the We're all struggling to bloom, to grow, to get better. We had c...

We Selfish??

I'm someone who has a strange and untold connection with you, which was never acknowledged. I was made with pride, hard work, and with a lot of creativity, but treated differently when in the temple and when on the steps outside the temple. I helped you walk, run, and always protected you in your way until the end of my life. I traveled to a lot of places with you. You go to the temple for forgiveness by making  ME  kill many innocent living beings and left me on steps. I was bound to go to someone's home when needed and thrown away when unusable alike humans, who use others when required and who always judge others by looks and make fun of others, but never call themselves selfish. Who always stop themselves from helping others and never respect anyone and their relation.  Thank you, god, for giving a life of " SHOES " where we have togetherness, love, sharing, and where we can't walk alone without other pair, unlike humans who are always in the race to win on ot...

Time to say GoodBye...

I never imagined myself writing this about you, someone whom I always hated. You are someone who don't let me stand firm, makes me feel less, who always overtakes my decision and makes me recall that running away is something better than facing it. You make me stay awake till 4 AM, shout on others, and end up being unsatisfied. Sometimes I have the feel of a thousand rubber bands tied around my neck. You have made an integral part of my life by reflecting on every work I do and every decision I make. You made me so much dependent that your absence makes me take nothing seriously. Being with you is like standing on a cliff with one leg, and the reason for losing my control over things and myself, and sometimes make me take inapplicable decisions knowingly. You are the reason for my tension, shivering hands, and sweaty palms before my exams. And you are the reason which backs me off from doing something or taking the risk, which made me tired of missing a lot of happiness in every st...

Unexpected letter.....

Hey hi, It took me a lot of courage to write this letter to you and you will be wondered by knowing the reason that was stopping me is......  YOU . You were never like this, who was always busy in fixing things, staring at the ceiling at 3 AM, crying in the bathroom floor for no reason or for so many reasons at a time, fighting within you for satisfying someone else, blaming yourself for everything that's happening around you, fear of losing someone knowing that no one or nothing is permanent, thinking a lot about future knowing that it is the unsolvable riddle, searching the reason to be happy, always in dread of making a mistake. Mera dosth suno...., your journey was planned before you were sculpted. Always remember you are like a seed that didn’t need water to grow and gro ws by itself. You had so much within you. Always be the same as you used to be, someone who always finds happiness within themselves, walks around with joy, finding your path, and making memories. You are gett...

Unacknowledged...

Sad voice, sweaty palms, withered vision, and watery eyes. My life is a crazy mixture of many deep emotions, like many others. Sometimes Here and there, I feel soo desolate even though I'm surrounded by many people, including my dear ones. But I don't find anyone who can articulate my feelings and make me feel protected. This makes me indict others in every phase I go through.  But I never realized that you are always with me whatever the situation(happy, sad, crazy, etc..) it is, understands me and makes me appreciate every situation. I'm always surprised by seeing you mold yourself with my emotions. You sometimes make me feel strong, occasionally sad, and utterly crazy. I made a home inside you, undressing my darkest secrets. I can hear you from every role of nature, from birds, flowing water, and rushing air. It is overwhelming how beautiful yet emotional you are, how quiet yet noisy you are. I can hear you from a long-distance while I sit on the window sill h...

Quarantine Love!!

Hi love, do you remember me? I know you didn’t expect this question from me. It has been so long since I not only spoke to you, but also thought of you. I can’t say I didn’t have the time; it’s just that I didn’t give it to you. But my love, I miss you a lot. I miss all the things we did together, the places we went to play and eat. I still remember we playing video games, the summer breaks we spent together watching our favorite cartoon. Do you remember how we used to share my rotis with my friends, which mom used to pack for me every day for breakfast?  You know every secret of mine of which even I don’t remember some. You were always with me in thick and thin, happy, and sad.  I was always happy when I’m with you, my love. But now I see myself in haste to impress others and still in hunger to achieve something which I don’t have to. I’m here trying to remind you all the time and the good times we had and the crazy things we did together, but I didn’t, said a rea...
