A year later the sun smiled and now I’m finally on track he thought. He smiled as he looked at her. All he wanted was to be lost in her eyes, those dark shimmering eyes and be lost forever. There was no hurt now, just a simple smile in those eyes. Oh, how much of hurt he had caused her. Just the thought of how he had betrayed her love made him nauseatically sorry. Pardon me for my sins, lord’ he prayed silently wondering if god would be listening to these prayers, ‘for the pain that I’ve caused to my beloved. My foolishness had these beautiful eyes vanish under the clouds of pain for long. Forgive my sins my lord. Forgive.’
He looked back again her, facing her beautiful naïve face. There she was, after all the pain he had caused her , still standing infront of him. ‘How much love is there for me in that heart? That it’s still ready to accept this man who betrayed the very love we shared.’ He thought feeling a sense of love and respect for her that he’d never felt. “I am sorry” he finally said. She muttered an almost silent reply, “lets go home” a tear drop appeared from the corner of her eye. He held her close in the chilling winter as they walked. He felt her warmth and said ‘god, I’m really heading home’
As he opened the door of their home, where once again they were going to lay the foundation of a trusting marriage, he kissed her. He felt those tender lips and kissed them like he was asking for forgiveness. He could together feel The remorse of leaving her and relief of her having forgiven him. A warmth was settling in him, freeing him of guilt. It was an explosion of happiness he could feel inside him.
Agape of the explosion he opened his eyes. There she was, after all the pain he had caused her, still standing infront of him with a gun in her hand. A stream of warm blood trickled from his forehead. As she muttered an almost silent prayer, ‘forgive me lord for my sin, for I could not forgive him…’

The man said, “I am not romantic and I cant express my love for you” and she smiled and said, “yes, its true. When you hug me, when you kiss me, when you feel so relieved and calm to finally hold me near, when you just want to listen to my voice, when you want to sit infront of me when I’m visiting the bathroom sick 10 times a day, when you tickle me, when you stop if it hurts, when you keep the call if my dad comes, when you crib about my cellphone, when you tell me I’ll stand next to you throughout, when you leave me to explore out alone, when ou make crazy plans to see me, when you see me from the auto while going, when you tell me to come down from my house at 12 in the night, when you really stand below my balcony at 12 in the night, when you come in shorts to eat an icecream, when oyu eat mcalu tikki with me, when while eating you criticize it, when you call me a brhamin, even more so when you ask the same Brahmin to marry you, when you call me short, when you call me a cat, when you make weird noises, when I understand the language behind these noises, when you try to dance just because I want to dance, when you want to save yourself till marriage, when you want to get married now, when you want to spend the night with me, when you leave a note saying ‘see you later sleeping beauty’ next to my coushion, when after that night watching me sleep becomes your favorite pastime, when you listen to all my problems, when you agree to see a crap movie with me, when later you laugh about it, when you leave your dinner and come to pick me up, when you light 19 candles for me, when you wear formals for me, when you make that face when you get late, when you let me take your picture, when you fantasise with me about our marriage plans, when you suddenely shout ‘what a cute girlfriend I have’ on the phone, when you say I cant express my love for you…. My darling, unknowingly, every minute you do….

distant friend

i think i'm losing out on u friend!

but i dont know how to help it

it seems like now u dont really listen to me

the smile looks fake

the eyes which once showed an emotion

are dry and neutral now

the silence is not golden

but rather an imaptient question

how long does this have to go on?

why such coldness?

why the feeling of being matter of fact?

i tried, i tried very hard to come back

but somehow its just impossible

u seem to have made up ur mind

happy with the new ones that u have

maybe i'm the old past

i'm not even trying now though it hurts

its ur decision, u've taken it

let the silence remain...

untill it hurts u...

master of the game

how do people achieve it? one day before the exam buy or rent the books, glance thorugh it and walk towards the exam hall.... and then chill.. with friends and ur girlfriend... one month later come to know that u've topped the subject...
next exam create a world record... dont even see the book's face... and enter the exam hall.. see the paper, write every single question with a smirk on ur face.. exit in one hour... call ur girlfriend and fix a meeting with her... chill with friends
(one month later the news comes... 30 in the paper u worte without ever looking at the book for once!)
