Broken string

It's been long since I've written something. Long enough for you to think I'm gone.

When I come to think of it...I've been loosing up on many things.

It's been long since I've heard her voice. The one whom I lost to the weirdest realm of life from where no one returns.

It's been long I sat together, holding hands and laughing about the stupidest thing around.

It's been long I told someone how much I love them. Holding each other in the darkest nights, saying goodbyes.

It's been long I've thought about roaming around European cities or coming up with a new one to add up to the list.

It's been long waking up with a bad dream in tears and having someone to hear it out.

Long back when I felt I had everything, almost everything, when faith in someone powerful was much more stronger, when my beliefs weren't tarnished with time, when calling out for a friend meant right across my laptop, when our kitchen was filled with smoke owing to my cooking or burning let's say followed by some great jokes about the same, when any injustice to others prickled me with adrenaline, when I actually read newspapers every damn day...when any fight would dissolve with a shrug and smile....all that over time has unceremoniously died.

Nothing is over.
No one is dead yet.

But life goes on like the puppet with a broken string. No matter what I try.
Every single breath of happiness is followed by days of waiting...waiting for some sad news.

When on confused nights like this, I look at my life, small things look bizarrely large.

It's like staring at a picture until the features blurred & ran together, something familiar turned frightening, something known turned mysterious & changed.....& very far away.

....are you reading my lines??

The Summer Blessing

Not long ago, I was having this conversation with a friend about stuff he got from thailand, which included a controversial 70% dark chocolate as well. Even though he was cribbing for one, he didn't really was crazy o'er them. You know this is a new concept for me...I mean who on earth doesn't like a sweet gourmet, melting in your mouth with a lingering taste...and which is also good for health.


That is one different thing.

My immediate next question was...Do you like mangoes???
I have a very simple ideaology... "If you like mangoes you are a good person"


I don't think I can deal with a person who'll think over that question to reply. It should be an immediate YES.

You know, seriously...again..who wouldn't like mangoes?!

...That is the most amazing fruit God has made.
Starts with the way it looks...beautiful yellow, with such a sweet honest smell...and so soft!....and hell sweet!
If all the vitamins n minerals neccesary were to be found in this fruit....I can eat it forever. Honestly.

I was mango deprived for 6 long years. Not really there were some Mangoes in Kazan imported from Brazil.
I'm sorry, but they sucked.

So here I am in the land of mangoes, sinful mangoes...which doesnt let u and your weighing machine be friends. But hell I dont care.

My love for this particular fruit dates back to my childhood. Summers were colorful with my Grandparents, afternoon sleeps, long evening walks, stories and mangoes! That was when I learnt, in a hard way, when the pulp was spilt on my fav frock, never leaves. Me being crazily in love with this fruit...always flaunted the stain. =)

To end up telling you my love affair with this amazing fruit...I think, the guy whom I end up with...should definitely love Mangoes.

And as for my friend, about whom I was talking earlier, who flatly denied ...saying "I'm a melon boy" (lol)..wat was that?)....
Seriously, How are we even friends?!?!
