The Foolish Moth

On Friday, in the bus as I was commuting to my college i was lucky enough to find myself a seat but, come Peeragadi(a bus stop) an elderly person just walked by and i being a good samaritan offered my seat to which he graciously agreed and even thanked me for it. Seeing the bus in a now crowded state I took to my seat right above the front wheel of the bus but, was stopped in mid-way and got offered a seat by another elderly gentleman who was alighting the bus soon. He said in his somewhat coarse voice "sitting on this is not safe" I being the stubborn one said "its safe, i usually travel like this".
Then came the exasperation.
          I was Listening to the songs on my playlist when something caught my eye, it was a girl (Low hanging fruit this side :D ), this girl studies in my college I thought but then why have i never seen her perhaps, I'm not looking at the right place. Nevertheless, she is very beautiful and I had this sudden urge to see her smile once, and while I was in the thought process came a moth, flying around in that A/C bus and sat on my bare forearm. As I was looking at it with mild curiosity, my thought turned to the girl and through the corner of my eye i saw her looking at me or the moth (idk, im optimistic so im going to think she was looking at me). I turned back to the moth as it went airborne again and my gaze followed it. It went and sat on the window pane getting most of the sunshine which got me thinking, how foolish is the moth, beautiful in its appearance but, longs for the flame that can destroy it.
          It made that how fatal is desire, want, longing to event something as small as a moth, and we spend our lives in desire only. Are we Justifying our lives? Guess there are a lot of things one can learn, all we need is a perspective!!

False Alarm

The excitement of first love was overwhelming but then again guess im not mature at all and i got the wandering heart syndrome( #made up disease). I got to thinking that if I love this girl shouldnt i put her first, shouldnt i care for her like hell, shouldnt i be hers but im not ... I kinda got thinking over it yesterday, a whole day i didnt talk to her properly and nothing no feeling of guilt came upon me and i realized it then and there that i had to tell her that i dont love her but merely infatuated to her, she is one of those beautiful girls who can be surprisingly cute and charmingly stunning at the same time and i played the timid guy before telling her about what i felt but, the thought of hurting her later down the road. So, today i backed out i retaliated from the situation so as to avoid any further contempt. No matter how hard i thought about it i couldnt reach an alternate conclusion. Out of the few things that have been constantly taught to me is that never break what y...

A Lighter Heart

Been away from this vice for long now, I thought I was saving up my words, my thoughts but, they were rather getting lost. So, I'm not this "serial writer" who just has an urge to write out of something that has stuck my mind ANYMORE, I am more of a keep to myself these days and the job surely just keeps me busy. I was just celebrating my Saturday staying in bed (coz that's the extent of my celebrations #sadmuch), I thought of writing some shayri (poetry) but nothing came to my mind. I thought to myself perhaps this is because I have been keeping things in for so long, so, I decided to let it out but, the everlasting dilemma still struck, what to write when you have nothing to say, do you struggle with it often, what gives you this clarity in thought if it never happens to you. This entire thing was brought upon by this friend of mine, who sent me a piece of her shayri (poetry), and I did not have an answer for it, I thought hard and nothing, so I decided if not th...

Gift

hey readers, how are you all ? In India there is a saying " उपर वाला जब भी देता है, छप्पर फ़ाड कर देता है " meaning that, when ever the god wishes to give, he gives with generosity . Similar case here, i was fed up from my phone, i had a small hTC explorer and by god i hated that son of a B.. really bad. The size of it was one problem the next was the low internal memory and the slow processor was the "cherry on top".          well so first i got a Moto G from my mom, and i gotta tell you that its a good phone .. and the functions are user friendly. Next thing was the finding of love .. you have no idea how it would feel when you have no single reason to worry about the one you love .. well i have felt it and it feels awesome.          Then, i went to Rajouri Garden (its a place in delhi), and i decided to go to the "City Square" mall and went to its topmost floor and got myself a bite to eat. so turns out chilly potatoes the...
