The Coward

          Facing the mirror he stood, dim light and the bleak atmosphere of the room acted as defining traits of that reflection that looked back. The mirror dusty and tattered, probably held most of the truth. He looked back, ran through his memories!! Every few footsteps something sweet awaited, a life so beautiful not because of its own making but, because of people in it. These people were the ones he earned through his kindness, made friends, nurtured familiarities and so on, developing relations, strengthening bonds!!

          He felt that heart throb another time, yearn for someone, mysterious in its juvenile longings,  trying his best to keep em smiling. She was beautiful, as are they all but, no this one was special for she loved him back, he tried her love and before every full stop he would have believed in her love. They shared stories and all he heard was the glimmer of her eyes, the calm of her gaze and the occasional slurp of her drink. For hours they talked and he finally set her on her merry way knowing one day maybe, she will be his and he can be her's.
       
          Then, a stark feeling of cowardice hit him, the angel appeared on the right shoulder and the devil on the left, each fighting to win over the mind. Yes, invoke that feeling of love in her, you can do it, you should be loved and if they dont love you then make em,
"and while you are at it, be with the one who loves you", said the angel!!
"HAHAHA" laughed the devil with a wicked grin, "really you think being with her is easy, you arent cut out for that kind of work, its better you turn away and keep walking!!"

          They say that one who walks away from love is the biggest coward, first time the reflection didnt lie!!

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...
