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 ...

He

He is like the sudden rain in winter. When all the living things wear the scarf of grey, when green becomes snowy and tenderness disappear, rain sprinkles life to dry surface welcoming a further session of shriller phase. Likely when the hope almost dries up and petals of memories get crunched as I take a walk towards the past, in that dessert of seclusion when things start freezing he appears like the blissful rain which pours the heart with hope and verve to live it again to tackle the upcoming dreadful phase. That's he! Healer yet harmful. 

Temple Saga & Cab Wale Bhaiya

Once upon a time, in a fine morning, I was out with my prince charming on a voyage... Hold on. Let me rephrase it. In the month of August, when the sky tends to shower more and shine less, the day decides to be different and instead of the light drizzle, it began with the scorching heat of the ever burning sun. I was supposed to meet him around around 1000 hours which, due to my extreme laziness, got delayed and I reached the metro station exactly one hour late. To describe him I will just use one word, 'Calm'. Hence, whether I reach early or late his reaction never changes and that day also he didn't mind me being late. His plan for that day was to visit few temples which were like poles apart in distance. But we decided to make it work. Our first destination was Kalighat Temple which was still nearby from the place where we met. Before talking about anythings else let me just brief you all about this temple. Kalighat Temple is in Kolkata and one of the must...
