For a friend !!


To cheat oneself out of love is the biggest deception he says... But what is love? What's the whole point in telling all this to someone who does not know or understand what true love is...

Today am gonna narrate you one story..the story of my friend.. Stories that I believe existed only in the fictional world. The depth of his love for his girl...continues to baffle me everyday. I mean..does true love actually exist?? It's a common sight to see couples dating each other for a couple of years...plans of getting married..family comes into the picture..break ups.. Pain..helplessness..so on and so forth. And it's an even more common sight to see people who once.."could not live without the other" are happily married to someone else :D funny world I say!!! Ok so..amongst all these species..comes a man..a man whom I'm super proud of calling my friend.

Having been put together in the same project team ( Teachers are to be blamed for all these stories:p ) ..in the 3rd year.. They fell in love with each other...and were seen together almost always. Rain..food court meetings..sharing little tidbits.. Talking till late in the night.. Everything that's synonymous with a regular love story happened. All hunky dory...till parents stepped into it....the disapproval of one set of parents made them part their ways.. The beginning of the end.

Sept 26th, 2012
I wake up to find around 8 missed calls from a friend...panic strikes, upon calling back I realise that the girl who defined life to my dear buddy, was no more. She had succumbed to a late night heart attack... She was known to have had a couple of surgeries during the past years..but that would take away her life so soon?? Extremely shocking!!! Not knowing how to react..we made our way to her house to pay our last respects.. And there he was with eyes, red as blood...exasperated.. Feeling helpless... Not wanting to let his emotions.. Not being able to control them.. In pain..and anguish, there stood my friend near his beloved's house.

Till that moment..never had it struck me that his love was so pure..so genuine..so deep.. And never will I ever understand what he actually feels. The emptiness and void that she left behind was everywhere to be seen.. His eyes were an absolute reflection of agony..
Today..almost a year later.. He still loves her ....immensely...his mind may have accepted the fact that she's no more.. But his heart has not..probably will not...
All the dreams that he ever dreamt of... For her..with her... Now lie somewhere stacked up in the realms of his mind..

I can only smile and ask God.."why him?"
Thank you, my dear pal...for showing me what true love is!!!

He was...

Every child just dreams of one thing…to be loved by its parents endearingly, to be held close by the dear ones…and just make life beautiful for everyone…and so did I, as a child, dream about growing up as soon as possible, about being loved and cared for like no other. If only I knew that my journey with my father would end all to soon…that he would leave behind an irreplaceable emptiness in our lives…if only he could see where I stand in life now…if only… Papa for me and sis, was a hero in his own right…never the one to be afraid of anything, and even when death came calling, he put up a brave face. He was someone who was simplicity personified, an ever smiling, cheerful person who was really contented with his life…and someone who never worried about anything in the world. Hard to find people like him in today’s world, given that everyone just runs behind money and materialistic comforts forgetting peace of mind. Papa was always known as a righteous man, who never hurt anyone, who di...

Of dreams!!

I live in a world that's constantly on the run.. Where most people spend a good amount of their life in chasing things that are closest to their heart.. Chasing what we call Dreams!! Without dreams, life would come to a standstill.. A very mundane life living for the heck of it.  Why dream at all? Why not be content with what is without looking for something beyond? If only our spirits would listen!! In dreams, we travel a world of possibility, a world that could be so much more prettier than it ever was.. And in our dreams we travel the road less taken to reach the heights of success and happiness. What fuels our dreams is that single ray of hope that promises a better tomorrow .. That beacon of light that never ceases to die.. That vision of success which sets our souls on fire.. And that unmatched sense of accomplishment and satisfaction that comes from within.  I've been a dreamer all my life, a true Piscean that I am.. I've always found myself wandering out i...

Five fantastic years!!

My dear little (big) girl, as you celebrate yet another year of blissful existence, I can’t help the bittersweet feeling of watching you grow into your own person every single day. From being a shy 3 year old who wouldn’t converse in English when we first landed in Canada, you have grown into a confident, cheerful and joyous 5 year old who can just about strike a conversation with anyone she meets.  This year was indeed a big one for you, a year that saw you transition into the role of a big sister!! I was apprehensive about how you would react to having a sibling, given how little you are..but you surprised me throughout my pregnancy by being so wonderfully caring and considerate, in a way that only you can! From the moment we found out about the baby, you were all excited and cheerful, hoping and praying for a little sister and your prayers were indeed answered as we welcomed home little Aadya in August this year. You were my constant companion during pregnancy, feeling every mov...
