Sunshine: A Way of Life

In the middle of the night, he still manages to give me goosebumps. Not his physical presence but his thought is enough to give a shiver of nostalgia, to give me a sensation I can't resist. Memories haunt till they either make you smile, cry or text that person you lost long back. Injuries manage to heal themselves over time but what about the scars they leave behind. Just as the loss of the person in the life is healed over time but the memories associated with them make you think about that person in the middle of the night, they make you lost even when you are surrounded with people.Their presence makes you still. Some leave and some we lose, that's how life goes on. And maybe because there is no other direction the life could go on. Life won't wait for you to move rather it would continue on moving on and then you have to gear up to cope with it. Life is merely predictable. It would leave you shattered within seconds and you wouldn't even realize how fast l...

शायद जब तुम उसको किसी और में ढूंढ रहे थे, वो तुम्हारे पास ही कही था!! वो जिसे तुम हर जगह तलाशते रहे, वो शायद हर समय तुम्हारे सामने ही था!! वो जिसको हर समय तुम्हारी आँखें इधर उधर ढूंढ रही थी , वो शायद तुम्हारे साथ ही बैठा था..  वो जिससे खोने से डरते हो, उसे पाया भी नहीं है तुमने अभी तक सही से.. पर फिर भी उसे खोने से डरते हो। वो जिसका नाम भी नहीं पता है तुम्हे, जिसका चेहरा भी नहीं देखा है आज तक , उसको तुम बस एहसास से जानते हो , तो उसे तुम्हारी आँखें नहीं, तुम्हारा दिल ढूंढेगा, पर उस दिल को तो पागल करार कर चुके हो तुम। हर समय तुम्हारे साथ था वो , एक बार आँखें बंद करके बस एक बार उसका एहसास करते, एक बार उस दोस्त में तुम प्यार ढूंढ़ते। शायद, जिसे आज तक सबके सामने बस दोस्त बोला है, वही शायद वो था जिससे तुम बस आँखों से इधर उधर ढूंढ थे। क्यों हर बार जब वो किसी और के बारे में बात करता था तो तुम उसे चुप कराके अपना हक़ जताते थे? क्यों उसको किसी और का ना होने दिया? क्यों सिर्फ तुम्हारे चेहरे पर हसी लाने के लिए वो अपनी परेशानी भूल जाता था? क्यों बेमतलब बस यूही तुम्हे छेड़ दे...

"You have changed a bit girl!!" This comment is the most annoying thing anyone could have said ever. Yess!! I changed !! not a bit but you see a whole new me now. The one you see right now!! The one who talks to you or writes blogs!! Yaa!! She is not the one you met or talked a few months ago. I changed a lot but for better. I changed because your non-sense wasn't bearable now. I changed because your didn't deserve the older me. I changed because being sweet and nice isn't enough to deal with the world. I changed because people made me change accordingly. I changed because I found that change is a better step. I changed because I wanted to. Yaa!! Time and situations change people! And yess!! I m happy after I changed a bit. I changed to become a better me. The software updates are not liked by everyone but they are necessary. Similarly, you have all rights to change yourself a bit. Being straightforward is no big deal and nothing to worr...

We live in the 21st century where we are to treat men and women equally but alas, society still lives in the 18th century.  It was high time I finally decided to write on this issue. Women become the victim and even if they are not the victims, they would behave like one. The ultimate RULEBOOK for an Indian Girl- An 18-century edition- Speak less You have to sacrifice for family Your choices!? No one gives a damn about it Sit properly Don't leave house unnecessarily Marry a strange, your parents like. You have to know cooking and other household works too. Education!? Why you need one? Your husband, brother, and father have enough of it. Dress properly Your voice!? Don't try to raise it! Do what your parents say! Freedom?! Remove it from your dictionary even. Well, the scenario is quite the same but yeah time changed a bit more of it.While some are subtracted, we have a few additions to the list too. Late night parties?!...

The most beautiful things in life are totally unexpected, the same way like our meeting and friendship was! The most adorable people meet you in your lows and make sure you aren't low anymore. Basically, these people aren't normal human beings but are Angels!! And Yeah!! I got mine. The one to whom my existence in his life is still a dream. The one who would relate me to Panda, cute and lazy panda. The one who remains my late night chat partner. The one to whom I am no less than magic. The one to whom saying things is easy, rather effortless. The one who waits for my blogs eagerly like no one else does. The one who would love to stay up when I am sleepless. The one who would be there when I need him. The one to whom loving is worth the effort. The one who would send pictures to me introducing his family to me. The one who would say his mind to me. The one to whom her writings mean a lot. The one to whom writing is worth the effort. The one who would make yo...

He and She meet frequently and almost daily after the boards got over. All pending celebrations and all the pending dates were cleared. Thousands of memories and hundreds of photographs. His clicked a lot of pictures of She. Being a photographer, she became a piece of fine art for him. And of course, he still teases her the same way. Her eyes, her smile and of course her hair were perfectly captured and treasured by him. She met his mom and dad in the most unexpected way. While she called him to pick her up from her tuition center, his mom picked the phone and for the very first without realizing who was on the other side. She said,"Bby!! pick me up in 5 minutes.The class just got over.See you soon..I love u!!" and hang on the call. As he entered the living room searching for his phone.He found it in his mum's hands. "Someone's waiting for you.Pick her up in 5 minutes.I wanna meet her, bring her home today for a coffee." He smiled and blushed and ...

This is the last chapter of "He and She". The sweet and sour tale of teenage love made it to the farewell. She is junior to He, the most painful thing. She had to organize the farewell, being the cultural captain wasn't that easy for her. She wanted to look the best even in her school uniform. She did her nails and hair for the day. He donned the formals and she was mesmerized. That broch was soo perfect and his hair. He looked adorable.She couldn't get off her eyes from him. The only junior who cried her out on farewell.She managed to control herself in front of him while they had their last face to face conversation and he constantly said that they would be the same even after the school ends. He promised to be hers even when he enters the college. The moment he left and she got into her car as her dad came to pick her up, she cried her heart out. The first time she realized her dad was this understanding.Maybe her dad has realized that this was something more...

Teenage love is soo pure. Unlike all the modern couples, he and she never saw intimation a necessity of a relationship. They didn't hug and kiss each other until they thought it would be right. He was sane enough to handle her insanity. They would communicate without even talking and saying even a single word. They would pass by each other and say " I love you " each time their eyes would meet! The eyes are the most interesting body part. They would express each emotion of yours flawlessly! Their eye contacts said different things each time (except for I love you). From the" good morning " to "bye bby I have a class at 3" after dispersal. Their friends always wondered how they knew what the other is feeling without even talking to each other. They were never seen together in the school because of teachers.They love to gossip at a point and complain about all this to parents. (I wonder why they do so??) The eye contacts would remind him of th...

Remember the time when mom and dad take away your phone so that you can study for your exams without being distracted!! His dad took away his phone and her mum her's. She wanted to express soo much. What all happened!! What she is feeling!! BLAH BLAH!! It was then she started to write her feelings!! The first time she thought of letters actually love letters!! Silly she thought it would be. But everything is fair in love!!  She picked up her favorite spiral notebook and a pen! You know, the informal letter writing taught in school is useless. She realized this as she wrote down all she wanted to say. She would write some incidents, something she discovered, what's happening around etc... Never realizing she filled 4,5 or even 6 pages sometimes. All this used to happen in the silence of the midnight. Doubtlessly! Midnight thoughts are the purest!! To be honest. When she sent the first letter to him. He said," Baby!! did u participated in some essay ...

It was back then when she just entered class 11th and he was enjoying his pre 12th vacation. She was stressed, taking up science was not, that good choice but she liked challenges!! (P.S. He warned her for not taking up science) He was in Manali on his school trip, but never happen to miss a single opportunity to text her. She was tired of her new schedule and happen to just fall on her bed out of mental and physical stress. She picked up her phone and texted him "Call me when you are free!!" Within minutes her phone rang and it was him. She uttered all her stress and whatever happened the whole day to him. He, being a good listener heard it all. She felt better and hearing his voice made her feel the best. Feeling at the top of the sky, she just wanted to talk about everything happening on both sides of the phone and that's what they did. They talked on until his friends made out to whom he was talking and started to tease him. His friends clicked random pictu...
