The Void

We know that life, at the end of the day, isn't about how we live it; it's about how we don't give up despite our unwillingness to continue. That single thread of hope amidst the will to give up and stand tall, is what life is all about. We believe certain things won't go, no matter how bad situations are. But what we don't realize is that one tiny little overconfidence works as a silent blow to the sandcastle. We, at some point of time, have that feeling and when we realize that, certainly it's too late to build it up again. Like the castle, some people make us believe in magic. And fortunately that magic happens only with them. But not when we try to find it elsewhere. May be that charismatic feeling of belongingness is what we call magic, unknowingly. 

Like the Autumn never knows that it's preciously more breathtaking than the blossoms of Spring. That one person doesn't know what it beholds, until and unless the winter comes with spooky wind and frozen yards. You will find so many people who will cherish your glow in a Spring morning. But there will be that one person who will love your swollen cuts of Winter which take a whole season to heal. That person will sit beside you till the ice melts with the first warmth of Summer. Behold that person. If you don't, then when the Spring will come, you might have the pinks of blossoms but you will never know the void which that person will leave you with in the bright summer day. When Winter will come again and wounds will be severe, you will be silently buried under the void and the Spring will never seem so dear. 

Love, it's all about how you value that one person who has seen your wounds to heal them, not to worsen it over the time. Even if you lose, remember, one Winter you have won despite all the odds; that seasons will come and go, but the emptiness will stay for a life.

The Winds That No More Hums The Happy Tale!

Things went magically insane the very moment someone's presence rejuvenated life back into the dead city of mine. A gush of wind passed by in the wind hushing some symphony of belongingness. I stood still for a while in amusement looking at the way things were around, all of a sudden. The sick old tree beside the lake had tiny green leaves peeping out from the lifeless branch. The heart sighed after a long; the change was for good. It was almost evening and the dark didn't scare me. The lonely cuckoo was duetting with some other bird which I failed to recognize. My world was getting dipped into the leftover of the sunset, all magical and bright.  Almost a month passed since that day. Today, the wind reminded me of that time when he arrived with hands full of amusement, restlessness, sparkles and magic. The wind is crisp and soothing, despite all the heated situations in between. May be it's not the city, may be it's not the wind nor even those golden hues. May be it is ...

Lunch at Officers’ Mess

A Civilian’s Dilemma! Subha ka nashta room pe karenge! Dopeher ka khana Mess me khayenge! Madam ki shopping CSD me karenge! “Koyi Shaq?” “No Sir!” my josh-type reply came hearing his full day plan. With the almighty being graceful, my man was in town and I had all the reasons to be super happy. It was the month of May and with that came the soul wrenching heat. I hate summer, but more than me there’s someone who hate this season to the core. With back to back cancellation of leave I had almost given up on destiny and was completely hopeless about our much awaited meeting. But these men in uniform tend to surprise you at the moments when you least expect that. His CO finally decided to show some mercy on him and the day before his sailing was about to start, his leave was granted which was in no way expected. Okay! So my man is in Indian Navy, ruling the ocean and my heart at the same time. I have clearly no idea of why and what things take such turn whenever h...

A Hibiscus for You Ma'am!

Believe me when I say that being in love is more than feeling butterflies in tummy, witnessing romantic sunset and walking hand-in-hand. When you are in love, the whole world suddenly feels upside down! My love story, as I always say, is not about the mushy stuffs but like a Tonga-ride; exciting, fancy yet dangerous (Only if you don't know how to ride it).  Rather than stating how much we love each other, we always preferred saying how much we missed each other. Instead of making the other one blush, we laughed our heart out with silly remarks. Romantic dates were always supplanted by 'Let's have Pizza today!' plans. Above all, not to forget our first ever attempt for a date. While one would precisely choose some garden, cafe, park, restaurant, beach or anything on earth, my darling chose Temples! Exactly, you read it right. As I have shared with you earlier on 'Temple Saga'. Well, I can't fully blame him as I am equally hopeless when it comes to execut...
