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!!

Hysteria

Heyo readers,         Its been a while since i wrote my emotions and this is because you all got a competitor to whom i tell my feelings instead of indulging you guys. I am back here because i wanted to share this one with you all. I have recently learned that it does take loss for one to become expressive in one way or the other and to us (i cant say teenager any more) love is the usual loss or so we believe.        Today, i wont talk of love. well, i will try not to talk about love. The name of the note is so because i dont remember what was the last feeling i held within me. Everything is hysterical to me, no matter what it is. It is said to be a fool's trait who blurts out everything without thinking of the consequences. Guess i knew that for long enough thus the "extraordinary fool". Well, forgive me for i am not a man of my word, so coming back to my favourite topic LOVE. It has been sometime since i gave this advice to a friend "speak your...

Love What Loves You Back !!!

heyo readers (sometimes i feel like i should write "dear diary" :P :D ) Anyways so here is the deal, been on this thought since last two days and  cant seem to reach its end because every time i think of ending this  something new just knocks on my skull and shouts " you are not done yet ".  So, what happened was that i was thinking on this particular matter and something old  came to me ..  you know how we just love being with our best friends , call them to meet up ,  turn to them for help, ask them for a party coz we managed to pass in a subject with 2 marks.  But, many a times we feel that maybe our best friend doesn't wanna talk to us maybe he/she  grew tired of us and then we start showering the calls , msgs, gifts .. and stuff  just so you can get that one friend back.  This is something i cant understand that why do we act like a underdeveloped imbecile coz we who are capable of change, run...

Cold Feet

hey .. how are you guys ..?? Today was extraordinary , because today i was travelling :P (sweet right ??) .  well i wont be so sure of it. I was travelling with a single question in mind .  we might have seen .. in the movies (romantic comedies) that the brides have pre-wedding jitters  and sometimes grooms have cold feet hence the title. No please dont jump to conclusions im not getting married . The phrase is associated with marriage but it stands for having the inability to act on oneself's decision.  well that is whats happening here as well . I am low today because of a decision not taken but imposed on me and this i have to live by . I have been looking at it like it was way too far to worry about it just yet . Yesterday i got a wake up call and the decision looked me in the eye and in a taunting tone it asked  " ready for me yet chum?? " .  I was dumbstruck ... thinking that the time had come near enough to face this decision . ...
