May be...

As I see him in the cafe across the street after 8 long months and he waves at me... I stand still for a moment as nothing is the same now.

The last time I felt his warmth was 8 months ago and after that we parted our ways or to be honest...it was the other way round.

For the first few days, things seemed fine but then my hopeless heart started wandering in the search of the comfort his arms endowed upon me and ever since I've been craving to meet him but today as he walks towards me,I don't have anything to say.

All the chaotic questions have suddenly turned so silent today.

I don't know what to do except to look at his ever mesmerising face and smile as he looks at me.

"So do you still like strong coffee with no sugar?",he chuckles 

All I can do is nod and smile.

And as he drops me near the college gate and hugs me with his fingers running through my hair,all I can do is stand stumped because my heart which has been craving for this to happen doesn't know how to handle of all it now.

May be it has always been this way with me, I want everything in the world and when I get it, I don't know what to do with it and so I drive it away and then spend the rest of my life in melancholy.

May be it'll always be this way,I'll never be able to get out of this cage I've been building around myself and may be he will always be my favourite daydream.

May be.

Screams!

The makeup hid the bruises over her face,

The noises hid her deafening screams,

The hijaab hid the bloodcurdling violence,

Somehow her eyes made an attempt to speak....

The society was blind this time!

-Pranjal Sharma

Violence!

On her marriage day....in-laws gifted her a vanity box!

After 7 months of marriage...the box is still unopened but the colour of her cheeks transforms to deeper shades of RED everyday!

Reflections!

She sat alone with thoughts mocking her mind,

Finding reasons for her absurdly differing kinds,

At the end of the day she found a golden route,

Our reflections change and so do our truths.

Longings!

There are times when you don't really understand what's wrong with you!

You know they are not into you anymore,they don't feel the same for you,so then what is it? 

That keeps killing you.

You try your best to stay away from them, keep distance,limit feelings,so then what is it? 

That keeps you buckled to them! 

You think you don't know it so let me tell you that you do!

Very well! 

It's HOPE! 

Somewhere or the other,in the deepest core of your being, a ray of hope still believes that you can get back and suffer the purgatory of being together!

And somewhere even deeper you know that this is never going to happen!

Even I've never ever been able to understand this thing about human behaviour! 

We know what is good for us and what is not! 

Even while indulging into the worst of the things,we know it's going to stab us some or the other day but we still continue!

We fall in love with words more than action and that will be the end of all the sincere souls out there because fairytales don't exist! 

You have to create your story and as long as you keep on longing for your lost love,you'll never be able to flush those memories down the lane and make room for radiant ideas which are actually the reason behind all this mystery!

So I know one thing for sure that you have to let it go! No matter how much it kills you,just breathe and let go!

Because holding on will do nothing but destroy you and a pious soul like you deserves to be loved!

So keep breathing and let go off everything and know that YOU ARE INFINITE!😊

FRIENDS :)

He forgot to scan the loops and match the DNA trends ,

So brought them closer and called them FRIENDS !

Destiny:)

Maybe we should believe in destiny and the meant to be stuff!

People who are supposed to be in your life, will come back again if they're actually meant to be in your life, and those who are not destined to be with you will leave eventually even though you try your best to hold them in your life, rather it'll be a painful experience as they will not give you the love you deserve and thus you'll end upset.

Believing in the meant to be stuff will atleast give you the strength to move ahead in life, rather than settling for the treatment you don't deserve.
