DISCLAIMER

Any resemblance to any person living or dead is purely co incidental. This is a work of fiction and would be appreciated to be taken the same.

They walked as if there was no tomorrow. Like someone would separate them the next second. For one maiden moment she would not let go off his hands as if scared to death by You-Know-Who. But this was them. They were way too cute and the bond they shared was way too faithful for the world to understand. Away from all they problems and grievances of life they walked in the dusk. With the beautiful chromatic sun reciting its final goodbyes they talked of life. Almost 16, what they knew about life was restricted to a group of friends, a bunch of subjects, few teachers and family. They were incognizant of the great trouble that awaited them on the q.t. 

"So you have class kal?"
"Yup and nope."
"What!"
"I mean yaa I have class and no I don't have class."
"Go fuck yourself!"
"Arre I mean hum mil sakte hain kal."
"Kaise?" Almost mumbling. 
"Kya?" A chuckle reverberated from his torso.
"Kaise?" Loud and clear.
"Arre! Our place. Library."

That word was enough to make Ananya grin from tooth to tooth with a light tint of blush. Library has always been exceptional to her when it came to Aarav. They would for hours sit there and talk about everything and nothing. Being the best of amigos they were they never needed a topic to chat. They could talk about even the most insane thing of the world. 

"Perfect!" With a wide toothy grin.
"I love that smile."
"I love that grin."
"I adore that face."
"I enjoy those hairs." Ruffling his hairs.
"I love these walks."
"I love this intimacy."  
"I want this to last forever."
"I wish this never ends."

And she hugged him firmly like he would just break if she won't handle him with love. And he tightened his grip on her shoulder. There were unfamiliar faces around them but they didn't care. All they knew was they have longed for this moment and now finally being there they are not gonna destroy it.

"So we will meet at 2 I'd be there." He said with the least amazement.
"Aww.. Its just tomorrow not a month that you sound that dull."
"I don't know sometimes I just feel so stupid to be associated with anyone. And then..." Cut in the mid.
"Shut. Just shut. We have had this discussion okay. And not a single part of me regrets anything of this okay. I don't regret us."
"But.." Again cut in the mid.
"See you know I don't care whatever they say okay." She patted his cheeks and kept her hand there. "I know what or whom I like or dislike and I love you Aarav so don't torture yourself with all this bull shit okay. Tu jaisa bhi hai mera hai and that's not changing ever."
"You rendered me speechless."
"I love you."
"Love you too."
"Why not "I love you too"?" Irritated.
"Style hai."
"Bohot bekaar hai."
"Achha. Now go bye."
"Bye. Take care."
"Yup."

Not a second passes by when she last saw him and her heart starts missing the count on its beats. He was way too special for her and damn she was serious about this. For the first time in her life she was confident. And that goes to the amusive bond of friendship they share. Time flew in its own grace and she relaxed on the seam. When her phone rings. She does not need to see the ID. She knew only one person to be stupid enough to call at this odd hour of night.

"So gayi thi?"
"Nahi."
"How are you?"
"Good. Kyun?" 
"Kyun means aise hi."
"Kya khaaya khaane main?"
"Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha." Devilish.
"I know now just shut up."
"Tune kya khaaya?"
"He-he-he-he-he. Sabji roti."
"Koi nai! We would go out and have non veg soon."
"Yaa soon means agle saal naa.1 mahine bas sun hi rahi hoon main yeh."
"Arre nahi pakka we would. Meri exams end ho jaaye we would go out."
"Okay! Ssup?"
"Talking to love of my life.You?"
"Replying to the love of my life." Grinning widely.

Respect > Love

By
Two of my friends asked me, "Are you pissed?" "Are you alright" just because I didn't reply to them the way I usually do. I subscribe to the theory that my mood shouldn't define someone else's. I don't like being the person who can't look outside of their selfish world. But the past few days have been different. Being 22 isn't as easy as I thought it'd be when I was maybe 16. I just wanted to be 22 then. And now I just want to be sixteen again. To be that naïve and innocent. I have had this chat with myself lately about how I can no longer expect anyone to be good to me just because I am good to them. I guess it is a human tendency to not care about the people who care about us and always want the one who doesn't want us. The friends I am behaving rudely to genuinely care about me, but I am helping out another friend who felt so guilty about taking my help. Do you know why did she feel guilty? Because there is no friendship left there

Refresh.

Distance will tell you the real meaning of closeness. Surprisingly enough this was a post of a meme page that struck a cord and made me write this one. Well those were my exact thoughts at 1.57 am when I was endlessly scrolling my Instagram. I had just finished reading yet another blog for CAT preparation and come to think of it I guess I've spend more time reading these blogs than actually implementing what I read. Life right now is actually going pretty well to be writing. Given that I only write when I am facing and emotional turmoil or a nervous breakdown. I am quite sorted with my prep though it might not be as much as those blogs recommended I feel that I am in a comfortable position. I have started reading novels again. Chetan Bhagat. I hope that still counts as reading. I've been watching an ceaseless array of movies of every possible genre. And also I've been reading business related articles which I find really intriguing. I've been meaning to add some more th

Somethings Are Best Unsaid

By
2nd June 2017 Friday Ahh.. Today was a long day and I am in no mood to write this one at least but then the feelings will get bottled up and I am in no mood to face another outburst. So somethings are best unsaid. That's true. But can you really deal with something that constantly keeps eating you on the inside. I mean the more happier I pretend to be the more depressed I am on the inside. Is it a crime to care for someone? To get attached to someone? And moreover is it okay to really want someone in your life and what if you are unknowingly making them uncomfortable with your mere presence? How does that make you feel about yourself? Guilty? Well that's what I felt. Like seriously, I was feeling guilty about getting attached to someone. You know I have this thing. I feel that until I say something out loud it won't be true but today I bottled up the courage to state that it  hurts when you give your 100% in a friendship and don't even receive 20% in return. I c
