Year that was

When good things happen unexpectedly they always bring the biggest of smiles on your face! I think that's the reason I feel something better is in-store for us when things are not favourable to us... A couple of months back I met a couple of my friends after a gap of a year and we could share major chunks of the previous year without the assumed awkwardness and hesitation... I knew I wasn't happy with my current position and conditions but one of my friend sensed my apprehensions and she found a way for smooth discussion.. She actually helped me vent out and it so happened that now when I look back I can actually thank her for meeting me and opening the doors that I had not cared to peep into... After a week or two, the scenario changed and I landed with two unexpected opportunities for which I had to sit for two major interviews.. Both of them different from one another yet important in their own way... And I received positive answers for both of them.. The firs

A relationship beyond a tag

"You know when you left he was heartbroken, he literally cried through the day. I've never seen him like that." "You don't even know what kind of pain I have been through! You left a gaping hole inside me.." Ramya and Ranjeet were childhood friends. Their mutual liking towards one another made them take the next step and they were a couple. Everyone called them a happy couple who knew one another well enough to handle any situation. Like any other relationship they found ways to be with one another, whatsapp, Skype, SMS, call, mail... They balanced one another and kept aside their ego's. Both of them took a decision to maintain their friendship if things don't work in the favor of their relationship. They grew as the relationship grew but none of them noticed that they were not being themselves... They ignored a big part of understanding their own self that had actually brought them together. Ramya started finding faults in everything Ranjee

Love Story

" We were both young when I first saw you " An arranged meeting that set the pace for the upcoming conversations... We decided to believe in it and accept it as destined... Not knowing that it will become our life... Came the days when we could walk with beeming smiles and hands held together.. The phase of knowing each other started and we gradually started pouring our hearts out, not knowing that it's become a ritual... We aligned our goals to attaining small targets together.. Taking leaps of faith and trust we started connecting at a different level... Being patient was your motto and being sane was mine... There were a couple of disagreements but we remained still and didn't budge... We didn't let those struggles drive us crazy and time stood by our side to help us drive... It's been a bumpy ride but it's a long and lengthy ride as we know that this what makes us click... Honestly, I've never felt this way before and the credit goes to you fo

Was it meant to happen?

I never used to being believe when people used to say that whatever you speak or think sometimes becomes a reality, until recently when it happened with me. I knew I was cribbing about work and was looking for a changeover when after the formalities I was struck with a grenade. I was not called back and left without work. My so-called friend didn't call or message me rather didn't inform me of the major change that took place. Was it meant to happen? Being a girl who is coming of age, my parents also started their research for their to-be-son-in-law with everyone in the loop. Yet there was zero luck and things are not positive till date with majority being rejections. Honestly I also used to run away when this question was popped in front of me! But, was it meant to happen? Yes, it was bound to happen like this! When I look back and see myself a couple of months back, I see an unhappy person who was trying to work things out and organizing them into proper order. I was a

Story of Inaaya: finding worth

Sitting on the edge of the parapet wall, With an open diary and pen in hand, earplugs tucked in the ear and the sound of loud rock music blaring through them, Tears rolled down my cheeks and I wanted to shout out loud.. The open pages of my diary read my story.. Phase 1: Inaaya was the gift of Allah to this lovely couple. She was given the affection that every child craves for. She was loved by all and was treated like a princess. She understood the silence of her parents and respected everyone with utmost priority. Her priorities were limited and she was satisfied with what she had. As she grew up she found friends but none too close. She mingled with everyone but maintained a pause. Phase 2: Her first step into school and she thought she found her own space. Not too popular and not unknown she paved her way in the middle. She was always with friends yet was alone. She never felt the concern as her life had a meaning, she always felt complete. Her aloneness was her

Longing for Love

Random scribbling before Valentine's... While sitting in the quiet corner of the house, looking outside the window I asked myself, "What is that you're looking for?" I didn't expect the answer but it came after a pause, "I'm yet to discover what I seek." Then I asked again, "Do you have any desires?" It replied, "Yes, I have many but I long for love." I didn't ask anything else, just silently sat beside the window. The answer stirred something inside me, it felt as if a dam broke inside. I lay awake at night pondering over the statement that came from within. Whenever I see couples who have spent most of their lives with one another, one see the love they share in their tiny moments together. That love is in their patience towards one another, the unspoken words, the phrases that the other completes, their gaze and so on. Whenever I  see a romantic movie, it just sets off a series of emotional responses inside me. I actually
