A tale of eyes




The day has come which he always waited for. Her eyes were twinkling, a suppressed smile, though clearly visible, suggesting that she is aware of what he is about to say. He nervously made a move to come near, the smile widened a bit.. in a trembling voice …. He said “I wanted to say something…. No I mean, I wanted to tell you something…. “. She raised her head, looked him in the eyes and said “What  do you want to say? Or tell?... I am listening….”

He took a deep breath and continued “I…. the weather is so nice, isn’t it?”

“That’s what you want to tell?” she asked teasingly..

“I don’t know how to put it….. The thing is that…… we have been going to office in same shuttle for last three months…. And I guess ….. I like you..”

“Yeah, I like you too, we are friends right?” she said

“Of course we are friends…. By like you I meant…..”

“Hey Paarth! Wake up son….. Aren’t you going to office today?” 

He suddenly woke up at the alarm raised by his mom. He realized that it was a dream and he really got late for office and rushed through the chores to get ready and reach the shuttle point.

Shristi was also there waiting for the shuttle. He reached, got hold of his breath and looked at her. Every time he saw her, she looked more beautiful. He thought “Today I am going to talk with her” that’s what he used to plan every day, but was never able to say even hi. He observed that she looked a bit sad. Their eyes made a contact but just for a second. He wasn’t even aware whether she ever noticed him.

Shuttle arrived and they boarded. She sat with pratiksha, her close friend and Paarth stood few steps ahead in front of them.

Shristi: “Pratiksha! You got to come, you are my only friend.”

Pratiksha: “Why are you doing all this? Why don’t you just tell your father what you want?”

Shristi: “You know it all, we don’t have any other option”

Pratiksha: “But your father loves you so much. if you tell him, he will surely understand!”

Shristi: “I know, but he has already done so much for me and now I cannot just leave him alone with all these problems.”

Pratiksha: “Look, he is looking at you now and then” pointing her eyes towards Paarth.

Shristi: “I am not sure if he feels the same, he never talked to me”

Pratiksha: “I don’t know …. Got to get off, reached my office..”

Paarth again tried to get a glance, there was something in her hands…. A wedding card!

She looked at him, realizing he is watching, she moved her hands off the card. Its her wedding card. Paarth was shocked and looked at her…. She looked at him with sad eyes…

and Paarth realized that he was late…

Where were you all these year

With you, my time seems to fly,
You are cure to sadness oh my dear. It just makes me always wonder, Where were you all these year.
You listen to me with all interest, Like a true friend, who is always there. No matter how hard I try, I could never match the way you care. It just makes me always wonder, Where were you all these year.
Every morning is something new with you, Togetherness with you is nothing but joy shear. You truly make the morning good, And eventually add there on smiles and tear. It just makes me always wonder, Where were you all these year.
With you there is indescribable ease, I can talk anything without any fear. I have no words to thank the fateful day, When your sweet presence in my life appear. It just makes me always wonder, Where were you all these year.

Oh Woman!

Oh woman! The ocean of emotion, A rare combination of love, care and patience. God must have put all learning while creating, The way you carry strength with elegance.
The selfless acts of love you shower, Infinite efforts for our happiness you make. Most of the times taken for granted, The endless pain for relations you take.
Pity people who feel you need support, Their humble ignorance, considering you weak. Though they themselves need the warmth of your touch, It’s only your company, in agony, they seek.
Woman and sacrifice are synonym for a reason, Nothing more than love, they want in return. It’s not our greatness to realize and provide it, But her eminence to ignore asking, what she earn.

The Essence of Life

After a long hectic day I finally started wrapping up to leave for home and requested OLA to help me with a ride from Noida to Delhi. I kept trying, and each time the driver denied duty as the cabs were UP registered and no one wanted to go to Delhi at late hours.
Then after around 45 minutes, it showed me Haryana registered cab which made my hopes high. I called the driver (Raghav) on number provide by OLA to get confirmation on drop location. Raghav didn’t wait to hear my hello and requested
“Sir, please don’t cancel the ride, I’ll be there in 2 minutes.”
I replied “Dear, I have been trying hard to get a cab and happy to hear this statement from you. By the way it’s a Delhi drop, is it ok?”
He confirmed “Sure sir, just reaching...”
So he arrived and we started heading towards the destination.
Raghav: “Sir, I too have been waiting to get passenger for Delhi as I reside there, and it’s good to get one just in time.”
Mukesh: “Great, but the service provider must show the drop location and…
