Unknowingly I’ve hurt some people with my writing and hence I’ve decided not to write anymore.
THE BUBBLE BURST March 5, 2010

I knew the consequences will take some time to sink in. I’m generally slow with realizing things even if they are as apparent as they seem to be. This is because I tend to live in a bubble. A bubble consisting of hope and optimism and things that are not meant to be. But there comes a time when the bubble bursts and one has to face the reality. In this case, the reality sucks. It is terrible and it is harder than I imagined. You tell yourself that you are strong enough to handle things while deep down you know your vulnerabilities.
This is not the first time that there is silence between us. Most of the earlier ones, unlike this one, had the chance of being sorted out. While some where part of a bigger plan, All-Out one and All-Out two. While some “issues” where created for the sole intention of sitting and clearing things out where the whole issue at hand in itself was inconsequential. Looking back, irrespective of what the content was but those “sessions” where amazing to say the least. But this is the most different and difficult of all. This has the eerie presence of permanency to it and maybe our last few words have been spoken. What remains now-and-then is exchanging “pleasant” greetings and a nod of the head in agreement.I lied once and had the most unbelievably great time. But I always knew that it was not right. Don’t have the courage to lie again. It is easy to lie your way out of any situation but I’ve realised it is better to fight it out using the truth. Even though you need to pay a big price for it.
Maybe for her the loss is of a just-another friend. One who was never even close. Probably, I and this entire episode would want to be forgotten as a bad a nightmare. But it is way bigger for me. Life has a funny way of repeating itself. I lost one friend when I joined college here. And I am losing another when it is going to end. But this loss is huge. Like all other things we shall overcome, one day. Until then there is the wait and endurance.

I’ll be leaving for home today to attend EEE’s wedding on 24th. So this post is dedicated to him. Very few people get a chance to spend their life with the person they want to. You’re one of the lucky few. So, wishing you all the very best for the life ahead and if I’ve ever come to know that you’ve hurt her then you will be skinned alive!
P.S.: Happy B’day Ball Mathews.
P.P.S.: Exactly one year back on this very day at Ram Charan Agarwal Chowk signal at around 9.30 AM in the morning something happened and it changed everything. Wish I could go back in time and set things right. Sometimes you pay the price for being truthful.
LONGINGS AND TEARS February 17, 2010

I’m not a poem-person. But, in my previous post Preeti Shenoy who is an avid blogger, writer, poet, artist and above everything else a great human being brought my attention to her poem, “A longing for things that can never be”. I’ve reproduced here certain parts of the poem.
A LONGING FOR THINGS THAT CAN NEVER BE
If a tear drop could speak, this is what it would say
I yearn for a glimpse of you
It would keep me going a long way
I yearn to hear the sound of your laughter
It would give me strength to face another day
I yearn to feel the warmth of your hand in mine.
It would make me believe that nothing else mattered.
I seek out substitutes,
Looking for you in others
Hoping they will take away
A part of the longing, or at least a part of the pain
But none match up to you.
Why did you have to be so perfect?
And why can’t some things ever be?
Why is finality all binding like death?
I know you cannot answer me for you are helpless too
Despite your irrefutable love for me
Or perhaps because of it.
Unable to contain themselves any longer
Tears swell and fall
Make their way down.
At least they know where to go
Unlike me
For I am utterly lost without you.
And so, the broth brews
Billowed smoke continues rising
The tears continue falling as an outlet for longing.
A longing for things
That can never be.

MOST HORRIBLY BEAUTIFUL DAY February 16, 2010
Posted by onlycrap in Tapasya.Tags: Best ever V Day, On my knees, She says I'm sorry
4 comments
A silence then followed. In that brief moment of silence I imagined a lot of things. Though, my mind was sure of what the answer is going to be but my heart was thinking otherwise. My heart was somewhere praying to hear the most beautiful three letter word in the English language which every lover wants to hear in such situations. Unfortunately, I wasn’t lucky enough. All I got to hear was the five letter word “sorry”. I know that she truly meant it and there is absolutely nothing from her end. That “sorry” still reverberates clearly in my ears all the time and even when I am typing this dreadful yet wonderful experience.
I am not unhappy or sad or depressed on how things have turned out or how they have not worked out. Rather, I am truly happy that it has happened. Today, I can walk with me head held high telling what it feels like to love somebody more than anything else in this world. I was always aware of what the end is going to be even before it all started. So what if she doesn’t share this same feeling with me. That was never a condition that I put forth when I started liking her and nor do I expect things to work out in future. She is my princess and she will always be.
We then walked back to college. I thanked her for making my life both extremely happy and somewhat miserable at the same time. Strangely, I was filled with joy after telling her all that I ever wanted to say. This entire episode got me into an illusional high from where I hope I never come down. The feeling is yet to sink in and I am yet to realize the consequences of what transpired that day. Until then I want to enjoy the moment.
Thus, this is the short unfinished love story of the biggest loser in this world, ME.
