Hopeless Longings

Hey people,
How have you been??
I was sitting in my class when a though hit me, why do I come to college so.. (Hi Karan, he just walked in, this one is my batchmate, good guy, intellectual and I'm gonna go back don't worry) early in the morning and then the answer came to me, to get a set of notes photocopied (that's for today). So, I walked to the store inside campus and saw it filled with students, wasn't that my initial thought that, no one will be in college so the shop might be empty, but then again I knew its filled in the mornings.
          This brought upon the thought of hopeless longings,  waiting  for things that you just know won't happen. You must have a good idea how fate intervenes in stuff, then there is the Murphy's law ( Murphy was a philosopher who stated that when you want something to succeed it usually fails you, FYI these are not his exact words). So, this one girl whom I haven't met in 4 years now tells me one fine morning that she got an internship and she won't tell me , its a surprise, I wanted to meet her so bad that I got all set to go out to meet her when she tells  me that she has arrived. The excitement was beyond my containment and I had a smile on my face for an entirety of 8 mins(because fb messenger tells you the time of the last message) when it hit me, will she be coming to Delhi!!
          I was working with this firm some time back and I met an actor over there, very humble to talk to and courteous. I greeted him out of sheer fascination and got to talking about how things are working in the industry he explained a bit to me and then told me that he would contact me and stay in touch, I got him and sent a friend request to him through fb . well you see how people don't have time for people, neither did he.
          So, coming back to the initial one, the girl messages me after 4 days telling me she is in Vietnam and I laughed so much, funny things these 'Hopeless longings' they make you weak and I'll trade my feelings  for logic any day.

Hey readers .. how are you all ..  you know there is one in everyone's life that we turn to when we need to get something done or to ask for a favor. Thats one person we call the "nice guy" or "nice girl" ... and we never want to mess up our friendship with them .. even if we break up with them from a committed relation . Dont you have one of those in your friend's list  ?   well hope you do .. but anyways that one friend never asks for anything in return does he ..? , and thus we just tend to think that maybe because the friend never asks for something he/she just might not require it . well plz take a look in the mirror selfish beings .. what you tend to with a person who is standing at every point when you need him/her . That one friend is taken for granted ... how putrid man has become for the only thing we are supposed to value is taken for granted ... and we tend to run after what doesnt wanna stay ..    i think we need intros...

The Slip-up

Hey readers, So this post is about how I hopelessly fell in love with someone and what followed was the horrendous mistake. I shall engage you in a related topic first, you all must be know that there are various apps on our smartphones which match people so here I am narrating the story of one app that my friend suggested to me about a month back. It started off as a joke with him and he was boasting about how many matches he had got, while I could see that most of the matches in his chat window didn't have a profile pic, poor sod how desperate to have liked women with no profile pics at all!! Anyways I joked that is it would be a Punjabi app it will be called "satinder" (Funny ryt, well .. What can I say). So this app came with a new feature recently, a Superlike, only at a swipe of the thumb(upward). So, on the Sunday afternoon 24/10/15. I received one of those and I was like "oh my god am I anywhere near this handsome, and got to talking the girl ryt away...

What Goes Around, Comes Around

So, it was last night that I got talking to the girl I had fallen for, 4 years back. We got to talking and i learned that she no longer has a boyfriend anymore and I was as happy as a toddler because it was first time in 4 years that i had learned that she was single and i did not think twice and offered her to take me back.  (yea, you are thinking right, what kind of fool just jumps at an opportunity like that, I could have waited a bit, could have asked if she was available, hell could have asked how did it happen and then move on from it but no, I didnt have that much thought and I just asked her straight away.) It is after her initial tipsy reply that I first felt it. During her acknowledgement of how special I was to her, she used that infernal word, that one word which was enough to tell me to quit dreaming. She used the word "always" I knew it then and there that she was lost to me. given the fact that I pushed her away in the first place. It was after asking her to...
