Dear Ex

-
Dear Ex,
              How are you? I hope all is fine. It has been many years that we last met. A lot has changed but I'm still the same. Only time has changed and you have changed. I'm still the same like I was earlier. Just I can't love anyone anymore, otherwise all is the same.
    Those paths where we used to walk, hand-in-hand talking incessantly. Those golden sunset by the beaches with you by my side, those frequent visits to the pani-puri stalls...and endless memories. All are the same...though not you.
   Remember? The thornless rose that you gave me... even today that withered flower is yet safe in my diary. That last letter you wrote to me, in which you promised that you will never leave me is still locked up in my cupboard, which I never try to find because I know, if I read, I'll definitely cry.
   Don't worry, I don't weep in your memories but I have started writing tuti-futi poems.
Even today when I walk down those lanes, where we used to walk, I wait there for a while to recollect the fond memories.
  Remember? That last meet when you deleted all your pictures from my phone.Unfortunately 'our' memories remain undeleted. Do you ever remember those memories?
     It is said that “jis pyaar ko manzil nahi milti, vahi pyaar saccha hota hai” may be that's true.
    I have heard that you are getting married. Wanna meet one last time?

Yours....

An unusual Republic Day

-
    26th January 1950 - Republic Day - the day on which Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar - the architect of the Indian Constitution handed it over to the then president of India, Dr. Rajendra Prasad. This day marks the 'change' in the way the government in our country functions. For nearly 2 and a half years after independence the government was still following the structure and the procedures presided by the British government but this day was that 'change.' Today, on this day, the President of India hoists the national flag at Rajpath in New Delhi and is sung along with the national anthem, followed by the parades, cultural programs and also giving away of the prestigious Padma awards. Likewise in schools, colleges, societies also this day is celebrated and the flag is unfurled.     For some including me this day is nothing more than national holiday, a DP change on WhatsApp or a post update on Facebook or a pic in white kurta on Instagram indicates my patriotism ...

Unconditional Love

-
   It's 10 in the evening, I'm chilling out with my friends and my phone rings. Even before I slide my hand into my pocket and take out my mobile phone, I know it's who. It's my mom calling because it's her daily routine. She might forget to watch her daily soaps but she will always remember to check on me, whether I'm in college or wandering with my pals. Her questions are fixed. Where are you? With whom? When are you returning home? Have you had something to eat? and there are endless of these questions to which I only answer in yes or no. And God forbid you tell her I'm coming at 'x' time then the whole menu card of dishes is repeated in that call and if I don't come at that exact time I said to her, she will call me a minute later and ask where I was. To which I always reply chill mom I'm on my way. She doesn't have food until I'm back so we can together dine. Sometimes I get angry at her, sometimes it embarrasses me but when I lo...

Love, life and Generation

-
                  Love, Life and Generation Has this generation changed the definition of love and life?   Pyaar, Ishq, Mohabbat...Love has many names but the sole purpose of all these names is the only one to ‘Spread Happiness’. Love has different meanings for different people. For some people love would be a meeting for a moment, for some it may be a wait for years, whatever the meaning be but the intention is to spread happiness. A mother awaits a smile on her child’s face is the best example of selfless and true love. This love is priceless. Love is pious. Love is sacred. Whose ever it be.    The older generation always complain that this generation has changed the definition of love and life. This is true to some extent. Many of us try to find love online, make friends online. Inspite of that many of us would still fondly remember their first love, thei...
