"It feels like our first night together, 

Feels like the first kiss,

It's getting better baby,

No one can better this

Still holding on...You are still the one..."


Neil lowered the volume of the music player, "Where do I drop you, Neha?", Neil broke the ice.

Neha hesitantly said, "Ummm...ladies dorm, I stay at the dorm". She couldn't meet his eyes.


Neil set his GPS to the said address and raised the volume of the song again.


"So if you're feeling lonely, don't, 

You're the only one I'll ever want

I only want to make it good

So if I love you, a little more than I should....."


"You remember me? And you knew my name?", Neil inquested bluntly. 


"I....I...you were quite famous in the college, who didn't know you?", Neha replied, still avoiding his eyes.


Neil wasn't satisfied with the answer, with a grin he said, "And I always thought you were never interested in anything else than studies".


"You were in my class, you always sat at the back bench, you were a good basketball player and...and...I....", Neha was shilly-shally with her words.


"And I?", Neil halted, turned towards Neha and asked.


Neha now couldn't avoid his gaze. She frantically looked at him, took a deep breath and said, "I had been to your last basketball match, the one you won single handedly".


Neil was astonished. 

Neha continued, "I waited to congratulate you but you were surrounded by a huge crowd. You were always girdled by friends. I wasn't upbeat enough to approach you. I had never spoken to a boy before, but I....I wanted to talk to you", Neha gridlocked her words abruptly.


The song by Bryan Adams, kept on playing....

"Please forgive me, I know not what I do,

Please forgive me, I can't stop loving you,

Don't deny me, this pain I'm going through, 

Please forgive me, I need you like I do....".

Diary 2024

  And 2024 ends..... What a roller coaster ride!  Every year passes by and the new year comes afore, leaving you with something and making you leave something.  It would be quite odd if time doesn't indoctrinate our minds. This year taught me so much, like the previous one and the prior ones too! I have learnt valuable lessons thanks to 2024. The year was challenging, demanding yet gratifying.  What I grasped this year would be exemplar for rest of my life!  The fear of losing your close ones, leaves you petrified. While the close ones are battling, struggling with all their mights, you feel helpless even when you have honest intentions of support. Mental support, yes that can be given in abundance, there's no ceiling to it. But the one you intend to support is going through so much that sometimes just being there, showing up is also helpful.  Sleepless nights, nightmares haunted me for days. But then when you see them valiantly striving and vanquishing the...

Moira : Bound to happen! Chapter - 1.

She was sitting on the bench under the huge tree. Its extensive branches covered few more benches around. The park was a hangout place for teenagers. It was a playground for children and a perfect site for the exercise enthusiasts. People jogged, wearing headphones, determined to shed those extra kilos and be fitter, sticking to their new year resolutions, was a familiar sight here.  Yuga wasn't feeling the vibe today. She had left home as usual, early in the morning, in her tracks and tee to run a few miles, but after three rounds she just sat down on the bench. She saw an old lady taking rounds, walking slowly, but with vigour. The tree was shedding it's aged golden leaves. One such tanned foliole fell beside Yuga on the bench. She picked it up and let it descend on the ground. She switched off the songs playing on her phone. With air pods in her ears, she sat inert on the bench. She closed her eyes and could hear the birds chirping. "They are so happy even at the break ...

What's your plan?

 "You've to score good grades at school!" "You've to do your Olympiads!" "You need to have a co-curricular activity or some sports activity!" "You should be able to dance or sing or play a musical instrument!" Oh my my! So much pressure on these little one's learning to adapt and traverse the lanes and by lanes of this complicated world. "But its a rat race! He/she needs to figure it out sooner. Studies, career, universities, the stress builds up as they advance into their grades (classes), isn't it?" Yes, true. It's a tough task for the coming generations. Population is ever increasing. Even though the colleges and courses are increasing in numbers but we have no say on the quality of education they impart. Also the leading universities and colleges are always the first priority, obviously. So the newbies are looked down upon. Also the reservations hinder the paths of many. Well, so what score is a good enough score...
